bennyboyt11 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I think the model that people are talking about will be similar to Genoa FC. Who have the rights to a lot of players, but generally buy the talent then loan back to parent clubs. If/When these players reach potential the club has the rights to either make a tidy profit or boost their own team. For example Genoa co-owns AC Milan midfielder Kevin Prince Boateng. If he performs well then Genoa could make a tidy profit as AC Milan would probably want full ownership long term. If not, then next season Boateng will play for Genoa. Looking at their wikipedia page, they have a first team squad of 27, with a further 37 players out on loan. Genoa bought Kevin Prince Boateng for AC Milan, who couldn't afford him this window. Genoa buy him, loan him to AC Milan (who will pay his wages) who will then buy him for a little over what Genoa paid for him. Everyone's happy.

A cup of beans Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 firstly, like to thank al syed for backing the town with his donations. whatever his motives, they are fantastic gestures. I wonder if he has spotted further investment opportunities... either with rovers... or in the town or the surrounding areas ??? exciting times. i feel the clouds beginning to part. there's still showers in the air, 'big sams dull tactics' but things are looking brighter. for the last few days ive been discussing my dream scenario... "what if all 3 interested buyers joined together.. for the common good and all backed rovers financially" - we'd be a force then! that said, im happy enough. some stabilty and some exciting football will do me for now!

Kelbo Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Granted but it would have gone like this: *NEWSFLASH: Good prospect Zidane signs for Rovers* "That Zidane is a bit special." *NEWSFLASH: Zidane signs for Real.* It's going to be a waste of time doing shirt printing from now on! Just let me put you all straight on this one, Zidane didnt sign for Real at that time, Kenny had both Zidane and Christophe Dugarry ready to sign for Rovers, we didnt turn him down, Juventus came in and snatched him off us and Dugarry would not come without Zidane, that is from the great man Zidane himself, met him in Ibiza with his Spanish wife, didnt speak very much english at all and when I asked him, one of the waiters in the restaurant actually translated. At that time, the waiters told me to get money on him signing for Real before the end of the following season, I didnt bet on it and he did sign.

Roberto Policano Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Genoa bought Kevin Prince Boateng for AC Milan, who couldn't afford him this window. Genoa buy him, loan him to AC Milan (who will pay his wages) who will then buy him for a little over what Genoa paid for him. Everyone's happy. The deal was done to help calm tensions between the 2 clubs.It's been getting out of hand,so the 2 clubs thought if the clubs were seen to be looking to help each other out things would calm down a bit.Last seasons game at the Luigi Ferraris had to be played behind closed doors because of the threat of violence at the game. Milan are paying Genoa €1.4 million loan fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

67splitscreen Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 i was against the ist indian takeover,the guys were obviously using our club for pr,but the latest buyers leave me thinking is there any justice in the world.we will be expecting these guys to pour millions into the club,yet they have made there money paying 3rd world wages,and come from a country were a large percentage of the country are starving,i expect when this deal is done the club will suffer from bad press because of the owners Surely you mean the going rate for the employed of that country that they operate in, Just as I expect Crown paints pay the going rate for the UK. So why should their be bad press. Surely the government is largely responsible for the starving, Perhaps Mittil/Ambani and the likes are exempt from your views.

rog of the rovers Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I hope they dont change the name of the ground but unfortunately thats the way things go these days. They can change it to the Chicken Nuggets Stadium if the want, but I and most other Rovers fans would still call the ground Ewood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
