TheCumbrians @cusclbontour Definitely so! Need to arrange with the club so we get it right behind the goal.

Now I'm not one who believes this 'potential investor' exists, infact I doubt many do.
But has anybody else heard that the 'billionaire' and his consortium are going to be at the game this Saturday?

Spotted Steve Patt at Clark's Shoes buying a load of shoe polish, he then moved on to Struts and purchased a Sheik costume? Make of that what you will.....

I heard this also, interesting that it's a consortium rather than just a single billionaire.

Yes consortium is a new and interesting word, one we've not heard in connection with the billionaire before. What's the matter? Are we too expensive for a single billionaire to manage? Actually though, that completely scuppers the billionaire's chances, unless he's going to set up the voting rights for the shares differently, or even the share holding, because they won't want less than full control of the board room.

An offer from a North East consortium went in last week. That was the only one at that time.

I have heard all sorts this week from a Chinese to the Northampton Indian consortium.

The only one from my extremely reliable source was the North East lot with possibly KA involved. They made an offer last week for Jenkins shares.

Mashie I'm not

For some reason you have an issue with my post saying its not the billionaire but a consortium. And now your saying you don't know who they are other than a consortium. So it may be the North East lot after all :lol:

Re:Billionaire appearance? 13 Oct 2025 16:30 #27

I bet one of them is called Keith.

Jenkins would sell us off to Keith just to spite the fans and stop the club falling into Lappings hands because Jenkins knows Lapping would do a better job and it grates on him because the fans like him, he would love nothing better to gift the club to Keith, watch him fail and say I told you all you were better off with me.

For whatever reason, we may never know the full truth, they didn't want Lapping.

But is Jenkins ego so big he'd do something like that?

There's nothing to see here.

IF this consortium exists, and IF they turn up, the three stooges will soon have them sussed. Shrewd businessmen that they are.

Pattison will tell them if they don't like what they see, don't bother coming back.
Jenkins will tell them to "get the club bought, you c**ts"
Nixon will question their business practices and insinuate they haven't a pot to piss in.

Then it'll be back to the boardroom for trebles all round in celebration of their inspired leadership and decision making.

To be honest I wouldn't recognise a billionaire if he came and stood next to me in the paddock.

Unless it was Branson or Bill Gates.
