Quote from: Sad-Rovers on June 05, 2014, 12:03:53 pmWingco, are you seriously suggesting that if a dodgy Russian billionaire rocked up offering whatever the KM2 deem is a fair price that they'd hold off with the "not in the clubs interests" routine that they used last time?I don't doubt that they'll loose millions on the sale but they obviously want to minimise that loss. They're not idiots. Honestly, I think they'd examine the offer just the same and if they felt there were question marks over the credibility of it, they'd rebuff it.Of course they would want to minimise their losses, even John Ryan has limits, personally he'll dig deeper for the Rovers but he doesn't have the same recources as the KM2.Which brings me back to co-operation. It's such a shame they can't all come to some mutual agreement. If TB and DW were to remain involved but insist on limits to their commitment, what would be wrong with that? They could let John and Louis go make whatever investment the liked.

I think they have shown it's not all about the money.We'll have to agree to differ RD:“I’m prepared to accept the Sequentia deal in the terms I thought we were discussing,” Bramall said.The construction magnate admitted the main sticking point of the deal for the objectors centred around the manner of payments from the Belize-based hedge fund.

Look Sad, you accept they are prepared to lose money on their investment in Rovers? So it can't all be a cynical exercise about the money, can it?

I think anyone associated with the club and it's supporters can ill afford to be hostile to anyone who has shown they have honourable intentions and are prepared to invest in the club.

What do they say about busses?

What do they say about busses?I think in large part that's thanks to John Ryan. I think his enthusiasm and dedication to the Rovers has inspired them and drawn them in.

If this goes through it will make for my finest day on Viking Chat.
I can't wait Wesley....
They'll be out on their arse if John Ryan returns. He feels the same way as the majority of Rovers fans do about them.
DJ, they're very quiet over there at the moment. Interesting as recently as last month Silent Majority was stating the there was no deal in the pipeline. Shows how much the current board think of the VSCs current leadership, I'd imagine that the new board will think even less.Never mind, eh?
But as far as I'm concerned, the first thing you can do for me is to chuck all your 'elected positions' and all your 'global moderator status' and all your pots and all your pans into the biggest f**king dustbin you can find, because you've never won any of them fairly. You've done it all by bloody cheating.
There really are some bitter folk about!

Sad.If people put stuff out there in the public domain...

Let's hope the individuals can justify their comments eh? I'd like to know what I 'cheated' at to get on the VSC board.Anyhow, it's perfectly fine for people to say these things, it goes over my head. I think it's far more important that we do things that benefit the football club and the charities we work with than care for things such as this, it's a little sad.

I thought I was on a dating site and could put things out that are in the public domain, my mistake
Sad.But YOU have higher standards. You believe that stuff that is posted in the public domain is fair game.So, anyway, what's YOUR take Sad? Do you agree with Wesley that the primary thing coming out of this is not the fantastic opportunities it opens up for the Rovers, but the settling of scores with VSC folk?
