Blackburn Ender Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I couldn't find the relevant topic, so I'll post it here. I'm hearing a rumour the club may have found a potential buyer from the United Arab Emirates. There's a whisper going round the journalist fraternity in the North West that a deal has been done or is on the table. I know little more than that at this stage and stress it is a (second hand) rumour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T4E Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 My immediate reaction is "dear God I hope not". Lets wait and see I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackburn Ender Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 It's a rumour. There are no links. But I'm told a journalist is putting a story together. I did stress it might not be true, but interesting, none the less, as it's come from a reliable colleague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Marky Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I did stress it might not be true, but interesting, none the less, as it's come from a reliable colleague. If it's not true then how the hell can it be interesting. Its like me saying I'm a millionaire...that would be interesting..but it's not true.

You'll probably get hammered for starting the thread but I welcome it, makes a change from the usual mundane cr@p posted these days. Its no secret that we need investment, but like Basturk says, it fills me with dread also after whats happened to pompey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amo Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 If something's too good to be true, it usually is. I can't see why anyone with serious money would invest in us over the many other PL clubs with a wider net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackburn Ender Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 It's a tricky one. To share the rumour with fellow fans or keep it to myself? I dunno. But I do know the writer who's apparently got the story, so we'll see what comes out. As I said, it might be a rumour and nothing more. But, it did go very quiet on the 'For Sale' front, didn't it?

I think you new topic title could be different. Instead of ROVERS SOLD, it should be something like, ROVERS 'MIGHT HAVE BEEN' SOLD. When coming onto the site today, I saw the title and thought Rovers had been sold. Then to read it is a rumour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt you'll get some aggro, but you did the right thing making the thread. A question - is this a local or national journo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are to be picky about it he did actually type 'Rovers Sold?' which makes the title correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see why anyone with serious money would invest in us over the many other PL clubs with a wider net. Like the commentator said when we lifted the PL ttrophy at Anfield and became the Champions. Something like: Blackburn Rovers: A club with a great past and a blistering future!

The strategically placed "?" at the end of the topic title deals with your issue quite nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexanders Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Just looking through earlier rumours. May it be renewed interest from Nabeel Chowdery who had his last bid of £30m rejected? Edit: Just read that he is about to go bust and has sold all his properties and have a £160,000 debt at Ritz. Hope its not him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
