Takeover

Leaves Carlos in no man's land.

Why I’m pretty sure he knows what’s going on.

[Tom Joad]

I sincerely hope all this bad press isn't giving anyone second thoughts.

Could well do the opposite. Exposure, full house, bit of passion.

‘Bit if passion’ would work up to the point when the game got suspended and that’s been generous given the bottles etc that were being lobbed. After that it was not a good advert for football or ourselves.

Depends if Mr Patel likes Green Street or not...

Of course Dekka. More I watch of it the more I think the police made a mountain out of a molehill. 

Flip it round the other way, half empty stadium and everyone sat on their arse quietly. Would that be appealing?

He doesn’t strike me as a Pwopa Naughty type of guy.

Not sure I agree, there were children and others visibly upset by it and for 200 or so fans to come running over is never going to be acceptable at any game. I just don’t think k it was in anyway a good advert for us.

to go higher sees what happened yday as a game changer

They might have second thoughts and they are American and not used to this at sports events.

I really wouldn't worry. They bought a stake in Bologna who have a very chequered recent history in crowd violence with their ultra's attacking Torino and Milan fans in some serious violent clashes.

If they are serious about wanting to invest in a British football club and aren't aware of the rivalry and tribal nature of the game then I'd be very surprised. Hooliganism is known throughout football in the UK and Europe and has been for decades. It's not put off other investors in other clubs.
