    If anyone is feel sorry for them , just have a look at Porktalk on the thread about what other clubs ( Utd, Leeds etc) think ! Chuff me no wonder we are laughing and gloating what a set of bells, I get it’s probably not representative of all the grunters but there’s lots of em.

    I didn’t know this! I know gate receipts in cup games are shared to a degree.

    Although I think it’ll take more than 5% gate of half of their games to get them out of this mess I reckon.

    They're slating bfc's official website for putting up crap about Wednesday. Must be a load of bo11ocks, apparently the post has been removed which is convenient for them.

    Latest rumour suggests they’re being taken over by John Textor.

    He’ll be the perfect replacement for Dejphon. He’s basically Chansiri on steroids. Ego the size of a planet. And, quite friendly some years ago with Conway. Allegedly.

    Resigned roles at end of June but not shares(he doesn’t own them a group does).
    This article quite interesting though suggests other clubs as opposed to SW

    Guarantee if he does take them over and starts racking up debts again splashing the cash they’ll all be cheering his name and boasting about it.

    Saw a tweet yesterday from one of their fans basically saying when he takes over we should be able to spend big to give them a chance this season and to expect some big name players

    He seems pretty dodgy tbf, his sale of Palace and Lyon interests hasn't covered the loan against his investment vehicle when he bought them and invested in players, wants to offshore everything to the Camen Islands and float on the NY stock exchange? Sounds like another version of Conman.

    Doesn't he have more clubs on his portfolio than our duo have had. ? Swap palace for wendy makes 4.

    John Charles Textor (born September 30, 1965) is an American businessman and the founder of Eagle Football Holdings. Through Eagle Football, he is the majority owner of Botafogo (Brazil), Olympique Lyonnais (France), and RWDM Brussels (Belgium).
