Consortiums taking over

[jimmy]

Football clubs left right and centre.
A large number of clubs outside the premiership are being targeted as potential money spinners for these investors.Harttlepool have a Sweedish investor who is looking to pump 6m over the next 3 years,Sheff weds are being targeted by several comsortiums including a Chineese buisness man.
Coventry are in talks with an American investor and John Hall is looking at taking over another club.

So can Bradford City attract an investor willing to put some money in and get the rewards of a climb back up the divisions?

no

Who knows -- who would have thought that someone would pump money into Millwall?

But knowing our luck -- maybe not

[Macca Ha Ha Ha]

or Hartlepool - with all due respect to them on the footballing side they are limited in where they could go.

An investor is someone who puts money in, wanting to make a return......can you honestly see any potential of that at City - ever?!!

The clubs you mention all have potential for different reasons Jimmy!!...

Millwall - the area around the ground is being massively developed and is going to be totally transformed....hence their investment!!!

Hartlepool are a cracking little well run club - on the up, no major debts and as far as i'm aware own their own assets!!

Sheff Weds are the biggest club in Yorkshire (in terms of potential fanbase) they truly are a sleeping giant, the potential interest there is obvious!!

Coventry again are a good sized midlands club with a good fanbase and a cracking new stadium.....

All of the above are much, much, much more attractive than us......Junior franchising out all of our revenue streams, aswell as our debt, and recent history has rendered us totally uninvestible....

Absolutely no fekkin chance to sum up!!

Maybe a ginner :flame: who owns a theme park somewhere in North Yorkshire will invest? :rolleyes:

[Macca Ha Ha Ha]

yep, he will want to protect his pension fund "investment" so will be keeping one eye on the situation at VP.

As for Hartlepool - they were on the way down last season Matt - City can be turned around with the right people at the top and we can get the crowds in.

Dont know about a theme park but it sure looks like the Ginger Gypo who owns the fair from Keighley is in with JR as we speak!!
