Was discussed last night I think it was, seems to be genuine and from the guy who's part of the pension investment fund.

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

He was tweeting this morning about how much money they had when someone asked about the financial backing.

Claims they have £700m in cash.

He's for real, has been active on LinkedIn as well. Not sure he's that close to any of the decision making but good to see there's some high enthusiasm there!

I can only presume that the Aguero announcement is moving from "close" to "imminent".

This. Still not sure it will actually happen, but if we are going to be signing players for fees and he’s shouting from the rooftops that we’re loaded; clubs will definitely hold us to ransom over fees.

That's a good idea, buy promotion.

Nobody has thought of trying that before, can't fail.

Have a feeling its not about signings they do seem to understand the need for structure. They do appear to understand theres lots of things behind scenes they need to sort out and spend money on to and he does mention this on one of his replies.

Never be afraid to share your thoughts.

It really wasn't presented in that context.

He was told that "You'd better have deep pockets"

And her replied with the fund's total, which was something billions and $700m in cash. There was no intimation that we were going to try to buy promotion.

Nope not Aguero, but another Argentinean striker finally signs.

All hail Battistuta! Goleador especial!I

Maybe the new owners could introduce a John Lewis element to the ownership, so that big names come in and only get paid up when certain milestones achieved; starting with promotion to championship, prem, a cup win, top 4 and entry to CL culminating with winning World Club Championship, Ibrahimovic scoring a hat trick at a sprightly young age of 47, having signed for 21/22 season and scored 100s of goals.

While true, how many clubs have got promoted to the Prem in the last 5 years on a shoestring budget?

We are in the third division-I honestly thought that we had 'bought' a place in the Premier League the night that we as shareholders approved the Marcus Evans takeover but trying or even needing to buy a promotion place out of the third division is embarrassing.

There is some point to trying to buy promotion from The Championship although usually that fails but talking about splashing the cash to get out of this level is laughable.
