    Inevitable that a club with little debt in the Championship would attract attention from abroad.

    Yet to be confirmed but supporters queuing at the ground for Season tickets are claiming they have spotted
    Patrick Cryne apparently giving some people a tour of the facilities.

    According to their accounts the people being shown around looked Asian in their appearance.
    As I have said totally unsubstantiated and we'll no doubt see if it has legs in the coming weeks.

    I'd love it to be true, provided it's the right people etc.

    What or who are the right people though, are we not bothered then about where they come from as long as they have got a lot of money to offer ?
    Im worried about the idea of foreign investors who have no connection whatsoever with the club, and who might just pull the plug when things start to go bad. It has happened at other clubs.

    Well I suppose its got to happen especially now that we know the sad news about Mr Cryne. :(

    Who remembers the Californian business man Sean Lewis, and his failed takeover in the summer of '03. I think he or his team rather hired Gudjon Thordarsson before Peter Risdale took over.

    Chinese? Maybe we worked up a good relationship with Dr Xia at Villa and he's put a good word in with one of his mates?

    Not sure how much truth there is in it? The rumour could be linked to guy posting that they ran into Patrick Cryne at the club today when renewing their season ticket & Patrick Cryne seems to have a Alexander Jarvis in his phone ready to call... (not sure how to add the pic but search gareth_crapper in twitter and you'll see it)!

    It seems Alexander Jarvis is a British born deal maker working in China on business ans sports deals...

    Could be a interesting developing story!!

    Lots of fans say they wouldn't want anything like this. A rich owner with no affiliation with Barnsley.

    Id love some rich owners to come in from anywhere and pump millions into the club. Could be from Mars for all I care. As long as we keep Hecky i wouldn't have a problem
