I understand that Venkys will sell. The problem is the asking price is £63m.

Didn't they buy the club for £30m if not £20m when we were a premier league club?

How can the value have been doubled/tripled now we are on the cusp of being a league 1 club?

£23million. No way can they ask for £63m now. 

[tomphil]

Maybe external borrowings now stand at 40 mill.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

The cheeky bar stewards. They should clear the debt and then  F off and die.

[G Somerset Rover]

Either way it's got to surely be a good thing if the gloves are coming off from one of the parties? Of course the club is caught in the middle here but at least it may speed things up.

Boom Boom Boom

Jesus h Christ 63 million for a basket case. Does that mean a clean bill of health ie no debt.

True. Never will be at that price.

[sirobozne]

If this info is new or not, it is still an important development. Someone said they'll have someone who tried to buy the club on at 12, could this be Currie or Battersby talking about how Venky's said they didn't put in an offer for the club when they obviously did? I hope it isn't.

Balaji will come out swinging his golden chains after this.

I hope Jim has his kneecaps insured.

I hope he isn't magnetic ...

Nor does he have any iron rods readily available.

[gazsimm]

Hope Jim comes out with it all. As Owen his mate put him up to this?

[Dunnfc]

The return of Steve Kean would kill me after this

The bosses at the agency they are all part of probably. Not before time it has to be said and hopefully BT will follow it on Sunday.

That would kill the club stone dead to me in a heartbeat.

[Dunnfc]

Hope it's not part two on the radio of this

If Kean returned to the club, that would be me done 100% 

Probably with football altogether.

[Blueandwhitemike]

HIS return could be the best thing, surely no one would go if that happened

[PeteJD13]

If Kean came back that would be me done with football completely would have to get stuck back into Railways!

nah you still get people who defend him

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Just hope they are officially looking to sell...would make my year.

You'd still get at least 5k on.

[bradeagle]

A whiff of optimism again. Hopefully it's great news but I get the feeling they would have announced a massive breaking story by now. Not like them to hold anything back. 

[Tom]

Imagine it will be an attack on Senior and how he is making Coyle fail 

[gazsimm]

is this why Nixon as blocked us all? Big news hopefully but I reckon it will be something we already know.
