    Just seen the same.

    Pure speculation at this point - but it would explain why the current owners would be prepared to whack a bit more money in short term as announced Thursday.

    Be nice to think there was something to it, because it's hard to see how the club moves forward under the present regime. Hopefully not another false dawn.

    It’s an interesting notion, I can’t see anyone other than perhaps Neerav not being open to an offer that gets them their money back.

    Though I also think it’s naive to believe that there’s a group of people who’d be happy to cover our losses for the foreseeable future.

    It’s easy to dismiss it with it being from The sun. But why on earth would they make it up? There must be some element of truth in it. Unless it’s the current owners putting feelers out.

    And they’re technically not ‘English’. Sure they were born on The Isle of Man …or Wight

    In fairness the sport side of the Sun is normally pretty accurate.

    I could imagine Chien being keen to sell. Maybe JAQ but she seemed to be behaving like a fan yesterday No idea if it’s true but if it is I’m a bit puzzled Nit a rehash of the Facebook group that had a buyer all lined up is it

    Would be quite amusing if it turned out to be linked to the Conway out group given the stick it’s received since the board change.

    I can't really see anyone being interested in buying the club as long as it doesn't own the ground.
