Bears 0 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Their failed bids for those 2 clubs means nothing. What do you know about them other than those failed bids ? And do you know why they failed ? It amuses me when we make rash statements about entities interested in us with very, very little knowledge of them. I've asked American mates that i work with about them. Two had no idea and a fella i talk sports all the time said not to go near. I trust him as he's a sports nut. Ask Any Sheff Weds fan too, they ended up taking the piss outta them for the shambolic way they did things 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 http://www.club9sports.com/ Apparently that's the website of the consortium. I think. They dont look like they have a "wow" factor when you look at thier website. Not that it means anything to be fair. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 “Our view is English football clubs can actually gain from owners who are driven by the profit motive”. Jon Pritchett, Club 9 Sports. A wee quote from them. Not sure when it was made. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What worries me is they could see liquidation as an option??? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 What worries me is they could see liquidation as an option??? Yes, they could. Just a brief browse around their website shows they are not averse to that course of action. And that could be one of the major drawbacks of any potential bidder who doesnt have a "Rangers connection" - to them, 140 years of tradition and history means nothing. And they wouldnt give two hoots whether we like it or not. But we dont know if that is what their intent would be. D&P have consistently said they want to protect the club and want it to remain in existence. We have to trust that they will be vetting bidders appropriately to that extent - although we have already seen from Craig Whyte that you still arent guaranteed to ensure that the clusb best interests are adhered to, even in a legal document regarding what should happen post-takeover.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juancornetto 1 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 The Sheffield Weds fans lovingly referred to them as Cloud 9 Sports during their tenure, it was apparently a bit of a car crash takeover. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse With No Name 0 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Definitely NO! They are interested in one thing only - people that are hoping they'll come in and splash the cash probably put out a sock at Christmas time. No no and NO! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
