Does anyone else wonder why we seem like the only club that is never the subject of a takeover?
Man Utd
Chelsea
Villa
Liverpool
Man City
Portsmouth
Sunderland
Newcastle
West Ham
QPR
Some of these haven't paid off, and I'm not suggesting - a takeover would necessarily be for the best.
But Portsmouth are rumoured to be on the brink of a mega rich takeover, and Man City a smaller club are now the richest club in the world. Surely, we are (and in relation to City, were) a much more attractive prospect?
I guess Arsenal can say the same, but they owe millions for Ashburton. Chelsea were in debt before they were bought out, and they'll need investment in a new stadium at some point though. Citys owners are also talking about buying the stadium from the council, so I don't think us needing a new stadium is a stumbling block. We're not in debt either.
Just find it surprising we haven't been bought out yet, or even linked to a buy out. Seems very quiet.
