Was I hearing things tonight on Radio Sheffield when they said there was interested PARTIES and they half expected something to have been done in January.

[Dagenham Rover]

Yeh I picked up on that comment

[donny dave]

I was not shore if i had mis heard talk about the Blades.

[WantleyDragon]

Just listened to it again. 100 % talking about Rovers.

Very interesting this, it's certainly got legs, given its been rumoured for a while now.

Might also explain why the season tickets have gone on sale much earlier than usual.

For me, any takeover is very much welcome.

There was a load of talk about it on twitter at one point. Various people saying they were in the know. I fdidnt think much of it without anything concrete to go on but if BBC are reporting maybe more to it than rumours on twitter.

Back then the suggestion was it’s the people who own eco power but that could have been guesswork

[donny dave]

Round about the 35 min mark last night

[donny dave]

Eco power would be ideal really

[Filo]

Enco power would be ideal really

Why?

Do they have the money?

[donny dave]

They appear  to have plenty, they are splashing it on various  sponsorships etc

[DearneValleyRover]

Eco power would be ideal really

No they really wouldn’t

[roversdude]

How have they got it
Would they pass the ownership test

[The Beast]

Eco power would be ideal really

I honestly think this could be catastrophic.

[ctay]

Built on a house of cards isnt it?

[Filo]

Appear to have?

Thats a really sound basis for your opinion

[Bessie Red]

Eco power would be ideal really

From what I've heard Eco Power would not be ideal!

It's just a rumour, nothing in it at all.

[WantleyDragon]

No they really wouldn’t

Why ?
I honestly don't know anything about them ?

With respect, why would you know ?

sm is incredibly close to the club and has regular meetings with them etc, and has been for many years. If he says there's nothing in it, I'd take it at face value.

[WantleyDragon]

Why would they tell him?
If I wanted something kept secret, I wouldn't tell anyone, let alone a fans representative. 

[roversdude]

As the VSC person would imagine they would need to mention it, bearing in mind the VSC I believe hold shares

[donny dave]

Mods  I started this thread could it be locked or deleted  please I wish I had not started it.

The VSC have to be informed

Unless, of course, someone at Radio Sheffield is doing some lazy journalism and repeating the Twitter BS.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Just cannot see Eco having the wherewithal to take over the club. Not something a limited company should be doing. Far too risky and a potential drain on company profits.

Now, if one or two individual owners of Eco wanted to put money in to the current set up and join the board, then that's up to them what they choose to do with their wealth.

Just as Terry & Dick invested individually having been successful with Keepmoat, it wasn't Keepmoat as a company that invested, well only from a sponsorship/PR perspective with the stadium naming rights etc. This would make more sense if anything.

The VSC have to be informed

Why is that though ?

The vsc only have a very tiny percentage of shares, I dare say less than half of 1% .

I own shares in tesco, but if the major shareholders were bought out, I wouldn't expect to be consulted about it.

Football clubs might be different, I don't know if there are any specific rules about this?

As well as the shareholding, there's an agreement called 'A memorandum of understanding', which covers such things.

S_M, the VSC, were kept informed on the progress of previous takeover attempts.

[Superspy]

If Tesco were bought out by another company in an all-cash deal, resulting in either a forced sale of your shares or a consolidation of yours shares into shares of the new parent company you can be damned sure you would be informed, ahead of  time, as a shareholder...

OK, interesting

Well, of course in that scenario...
