I do want a wealthy backer but what i am sying is that i dont just want whoever it is to put millions in meaning that we loose the soul of the club.

I want us to use whatever money we get wisely invest it in the future of the club and not just wasing it on ageing aussies and past superstars.

I'm sure we'll be like pocket change to Dave Whelan. So it's probable he consider's us a hobbie. We've sold BV, with the funds going towards NM. I'm not entirely sure we'd be worth much, and with NM on the horizon now is a good time to get on board!

maybe your source stayed up late and watched "this sporting life" and mistook mr. weaver for mr. whelan?

Watched a documentary on him a few years back, if any of teds offspring are still encumbant and he gets in, I'll give em a month!!!
Doesn't put up with slackers!!!!

So, not what we do now then?

I don't care who puts money into the club on the proviso that :-

1) They really do have the money (this time) &
2) They have a genuine desire to take the club forward

Only rumoured backer I've heard about is Clark's Brewery.

No because at the moment we sell or fail to retain our best youngsters.

i hear there has been an arab sheikh spotted outside the club . . . .

id settle for dave whelan thoughm knows what hes doing if true

Knowing our luck it'll that fella from the news of the world, ready to rumble teds corupt M&S suit dealings, or our stockpiling of lightbulbs!!

Heard garthwaite of clarks brewery fame! decent beer aaah!

Dave Whelan features in a book by the late Mike Gregory entitled 'Biting Back'.
I suggest you read the book before welcoming any involvement from Dave Whelan.

I agree, I have no respect for the guy at all.

being only 21 i have no idea what is in this book or what has been said... perhaps you could fill me in

Correct, he's a snake IMO.
