SJM on radio Manchester just said that the club have been talking to potential investors for last two weeks. Let's hope so!

I agree with Whites Man on the MK Dons/Wimbledon thing.

The way it was done should never have been allowed by the league.

MK Dons should have had to work up through the pyramid system.

I despise FC United but at least they are doing it correctly (bunch of dicks that they are). 

FCUM are the biggest tossers going. I despise everything about em and the joke is they are still really dmbs when it suits

If doing it correctly means getting a load of grants, bypassing real clubs and taking the piss out of the football pyramid, believing you are doing real community clubs a favour by turning up in numbers then yes. Playing the victim when Rammy put the price up a whole quid to cover policing costs. Wankers. They think they invented football at that level, driving past their local club to watch FCUM, sound familiar?

Abso-fucking-lutely. Soccer Club United of Manchester, or whatever, were also founded on a lie. "Manchester United not for sale" - remember that? The company was listed on the stock market - that means it's absolutely for sale. The so-called fans weren't bothered when it was providing the company money to buy up league titles, but start whining when some yanks want to buy up the shares. Vermin - just like everyone else who follows the Stretford Scum. A cancer on football.

Totally agree on FC United comments Carlos.

Point I was making is that they didn't follow MK Dons by buying out Bury (for example) and taking their place in the League.

Small comfort that it is.

I wish they'd bought out Bury TBH.

Spot on regarding thinking they invented football at that level. Then love preaching to the rest of us that they know real football blah blah. Wankers

I support Bolton, they are (were) my local club. Only Breightmet United were closer and I'm not a Breightmeter. Self-righteous non-league pricks are bad enough but Munich ones are taking the piss.

Sunderland changed their nickname if that counts

Any idea who these Irishmen are and what sort of war chest Lenny should be expecting this summer?

If they are Irish,  then surely they will be dmb supporters ?

If they are coming in with a war chest then they can swing a Celtic & Liverpool half and half round their heads at the Macron for all I care

Sunderland changed their nickname if that counts

As did Crystal Palace

No disrespect to him, but what would a fat pub landlord know about the club finances?

 

...and with his financial track record as well.

Presumably because the old one related to the old ground.

agree with all this. They didn't do it the right way. They had no ground so should never have seen the north west counties.. arrogant doesn't come close. Obsessed with principles to the point of bullying afc fylde kids and women to stop them buying programs and food at the match or abusing kids at rammy over the quid.. yet happy to play on Friday night tv the very first chance they got..

Aye, roker men wasn't it

 

Changed their badge too as did we

 

City changed theirs and added stars to look "better" to teams on the continent

 

Grounds change names regularly too these days so inevitable someone will want to change colours or team name if they're pumping their own money in

Always thought it was Rokerites

Why is it 'inevitable'? Most owners don't change either.

 

Thirteen of the teams in the current Premier League have changed hands in the last few years, only one is proposing changing the club name and none have changed the club colours.

Or the Nil Fours.

No guarantee we'll see much investment on the pitch, it could be mainly linked to the non football side such as the school.

The best cash injection would be another 10,000 season ticket holders, we could spend all of that

There are other clubs.

 

Not to me, there isn't.

Spot on. Absolute filth.

The previous example to MK of a league club moving and changing name was in 1930 when South Shields relocated and became Gateshead.

Woolwich Arsenal moved from Plumstead to Highbury, and became simply Arsenal, in 1914.
