Excuse my terrible Twitter linkage.

Seems the stories about TFG looking for a way out were true. I'm at the point where I just want something to happen quickly tbh, they've steadied us to an extent but don't appear particularly bothered about much else. Just got to close our eyes and hope that whoever we end up getting sold too aren't too horrendous.

ToffeeTV alluded to this the other day.

So, there we are then. Could tell something was off mid-August, and now confirmed.

[Kerryblueboy]

Reported in a lot of different places hard to understand unless they are putting all their resources into building Roma the new stadium

[StirlingBlue]

I think history will look kindly upon TFG if they manage to sell soon, stepped into a precarious situation for us and we’re in a much better position than we were [emoji638] years ago.

Hopefully somebody buys us who sees us as a long term project to actually grow and succeed.

I see the Usmanov sanctions were recently lifted…

They’ve stabilised us, we’re more attractive to investors and buyers than we have been in recent years. They’ll make a large profit.

A Bahraini government organizational type to fund us with random ridiculous made up sponsorship deals, only for the PL to instantly expel us after 1 season for not playing by the rules…

Here we go.... Oligarchs.com

[TheRam]

Feels like the worst time possible to be up for sale with all the city stuff, regulators sniffing everywhere, financials rules etc

Actually the opposite. TFG did the easy bit. The next owners will actually have to invest, not just restructure debt.

Think big Dan saw the Armstrong outrage and thought “fuck it, these are mental”

One things for sure, Moysie ain’t getting any big contract extension before the end of the season.

I think we just need to be prepared for what comes next. Similar to Moshiri these wont care who the next custodian is, they have little interest in being it themselves, they will sell to whoever offers the most money, whether that's the likes Andy Bell & George Downing, 777 or Textor. Its a bit of a lottery from here on in, we just need to hope the league are thorough and rigorous about their owner processes.

Don’t think any of those you mention have the resources to buy the club, we’re probably looking at.U.S private equity group.

[The Doc]

Knew we couldnt go a full international break without some drama about the club. We had one day left.

The names were largely irrelevant, it was more the characters and background, however, I dont think any potential buyer will be using their own money, they'll all be leveraging debt.

Im personally expecting some serious Amanda Staveley links in the coming days
