Blanco 4,900 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I’m just the messenger here but I have been told investment is moving forward.. I was given no names but just that it is ongoing and something the club want to pursue. Interesting. My dad's just been talking to someone (Not anyone connected as far as I'm aware) who seems to think a big Spanish club is looking to buy/invest in a championship club to bring players through. Not sure where the rumour's come from though! Been told an old potential investor / buyer has been in touch... desperate to add a English club and take them forward to next level Could be good if they're a Leicester/Wolves type investor. Not so much if they're a Mike Ashley type! Weren’t we linked with big Chinese investors a couple of years ago? I’m pretty sure Kenyon was also involved at the time Link to post Share on other sites

Maccarone 264 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Serious question but why would anyone want to invest in us? Link to post Share on other sites

Neverbefore 10,695 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Championship team with premier league facilities? When we are in the premier league and doing well a guaranteed 32-35k crowd. Financially sound. Were a lot more attractive than most clubs in this division and a few premier league clubs too I would say. Link to post Share on other sites

Financially sound. Were a lot more attractive than most clubs in this division and a few premier league clubs too I would say. Totally agree, we are an attractive club to invest in. The infrastructure is there and with the right football served up there's a big crowd week in week out. Exciting news in my opinion... imagine someone coming in with the drive and investment to kick Boro on to the next level. Link to post Share on other sites
PompeySmog 109 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Serious question but why would anyone want to invest in us? Someone can correct me but i think are about 14th in total seasons spent in the prem and are a decent catchment area clu ( one club town with a decent football heritage) I think it is a pretty attractive proposition when you consider what elses is available.

sanddancer 1,964 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Forgive me if I don’t buy into this it sounds like a typical daily mail news story with key words alleged, overheard and rumored. If there was any investment, which I don’t believe there would, it would be in SG company, property or leisure business. Link to post Share on other sites

I always assumed given the timing and close link to Mendes that this was the group that then bought Wolves? Link to post Share on other sites
