“The other piece that came into it was that by now it was quite clear I was going to be sued. And I felt the Americans were much more aware of that piece of the process and much more likely to stand up through that piece of the process.”

So in layman's terms he was looking after his own skin!

Interesting. For those who say RBS was not going to put us under administration, maybe they should get the full article. Last but not least, at around 300m there were only 2 bidders, with more seats and tv money, if FSG would sell, they would wish to get much much more than that, how many bidders would there be then? I think we are stuck with them for the foreseeable future.

The market and TV revenue has changed allot since we were sold to FSG, so I think FSG would get more money now due to the PL Revenue increasing significantly, but there were never a list of Billionaires queuing up to buy us.

Man City have been bought and invested into, but the original price was quite low as they were a failing club, FSG will want a large premium, unless we get the Chinese equivalent of Abramovic, I don't see anyone coming in.

When you look at Chelsea, they were bought at a low fee as they were about to go bust. It looks like the Billionaires like to take a failing club like a City or Chelsea, buy them and turn them into superclubs by spending their money, like a toy, or you have the owners like Glazers who buy an already successful club for big money, and hope to increase on that by running the same business model and trying to exploit it more.

I think we are with FSG a few years at least, when you look at H&G and the lack of interest we had, FSG are not that bad owners, at least we are not at risk of going into Administration now, we have a top manager and reasons to be optimistic, but we are going to struggle against the mega spending of City, Chelsea, Man U, we just have to use our money wisely to compete with them.

Bill Gates and a host of billionaiores the world over were "SUPPOSEDLY" approached back in 2010 to buy the club.

It's easy to throw out names after the fact especially because nobody NOW is impervious to criticism. I refute there were only 2 interested parties...DIC and Robert Kraft had previously been very serious in purchasing us. The fact Broughton is speaking now whilst fans are questioning the current owners, speaks volumes to me that he throws Peter Lim out there indirectly, because of the court case going on in New York!
