Steve Moss Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I hope this is true but expect disappointment. Caution folks. He may not be the knight in shining armour after all: http://www.houstonpress.com/news/why-bob-mcnair-is-the-worst-owner-in-houston-sports-history-7839734 A fair reading of the article has a lot of positives in it also. And as others have pointed out, their record is not as bad as all of that. Sadly hes a Republican Trumpeteer but on the upside seriously minted. Good for him. A businessman of sense.

Backroom DE. Posted January 20, 2017 Backroom Share Posted January 20, 2017 Did you guys really get your hopes up? After six years you should really know how this ends. If a takeover ever does happen, it'll probably be quick and completely out of the blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rigger Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I will not say RTID, because I don't know if the Rovers will last that long. But what I can say is, I will never support a different team. I am a boycotter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHRover Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Probably doesn't matter much why the American's looked and decided against it. It's tough to take that they won't be going any further with it but not at all unexpected. The two most important points here are: 1) There are people around the world who are on the lookout to buy Championship football clubs and have taken an interest in Blackburn Rovers. We now know there have been at least 2 groups who have at least considered or attempted some sort of investment in Rovers in the space of the last 6 months with no evidence the club is even actively up for sale (Seneca and McNair). This undermines the theory regularly seen that nobody with any sense would ever want to buy this club in future. 2) It probably doesn't matter about the American side as to why they looked but decided against it. What matters more is whether their interest came about through Venkys attempting to sell/get people on board, or whether they were just interested in buying a club and Venkys had nothing to do with it. If its the latter then it could well be the case that Venkys remain 'committed' and wouldn't have even given the Americans the time of day even if they had decided to bid.

Commondore Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Good for him. A businessman of sense. Hasn't he bankrupted four businesses, settled in court for scamming people with a fake university, and earned less with his inherited money than if he'd just put it in the bank? Doesn't seem like a businessman of sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
