So i mentioned a couple of weeks ago that things were happening behind the scenes, my info came via someone who has been an intermediary in the deal and close to the UK based investors. From him my understanding is that its very much being led by Mike O'Leary (ex-WBA) as the figure head and there are quite a few in the consortium. They already have secured 3 or 4 execs who will be joining (CEO, DoF, Commercial) and its pretty close to being finalised, although of course a risk it doesn't.
We will be very much part of a global network of clubs that they're building, albeit the 'marque' club that they have so far, the aim is to use the network for player transfers and coaching development a.k.a the City Group model.
As is often the way with these deals the club is being leveraged, so we will move from no actual debt to debt being accumulated over time, as they invest to grow the business. Without a scarce billionaire this is the only way we're likely to gain catch-up. The main difference here to Marcus is that they're going to bring in real experts who know the football industry and are VERY commercially strong.
Oh and they'll be looking to invest in the infrastructure around the club in a big way, especially the physical / retail. |  | | |  |

So we may well become the Ipswich Soccer Tractors after all.
I’m so excited I’m changing my name to Brett by deed poll. |  | | |
