    Consortium in talks with another club ….

    Three wins in a row and without conceding a goal for 443 minutes: 1. FC Kaiserslautern has recently picked up speed. From a financial point of view, however, the Red Devils will probably need fresh money by the new season at the latest. It could be made available by the "Pacific Media Group", with which the Red Devils are currently negotiating, according to "SportBild".

    Ten million euros?
    According to the magazine, initial talks with the American-Chinese company are said to have already taken place - there is speculation about a sum of around ten million euros. Investing in "PMG" would not be new territory, as it already holds shares in FC Barnsley (2nd league England), KV Oostende (Belgium), FC Den Bosch (Netherlands), Esbjerg fB (Denmark), AS Nancy ( France) and at FC Thun (Switzerland). The investor group was also once involved in the OGC Nice. With the money, the French first division team qualified for the Champions League. Subsequently, the "PMG" sold their shares, which had increased in value.

    Just to put some meat on the bones Kaiserslautern are a significantly bigger club than ourselves .

    European football pedigree who have somehow ended up in the third tier of German football .

    Is this the jewel in the crown PMG have waited for ?

    That said the 50 plus 1 rule with regard to German ownership models is something PMG are going to have to live by .

    There's no fecking about with German football clubs like you see here and in other countries .

    German football is massively regulated .

    All the other clubs they own including ourselves could well be geared to having Kaiserslautern competing at the top of German football .

    They are potentially big enough as they have been historically to do so .

    Bought for no doubt a song .

    The plot thickens .

    They will in all likelihood be the Flagship team for this lot ? A fallen Giant over the years , comparable to Leeds in many ways !, question is where does that leave ourselves ? It maybe their excuse to leave now , having disenchanted the Fanbase and continuing to run thing's down (ground upkeep , scoreboard, staff leaving etc etc )
    Guy Fawkes night soon !!!!

    Does this mean they have dropped their interest in a Scotch Premier club, as they were apparently showing an interest in Rangers ?.

    No, Queens Park MacJocky Rangers lol, but Im sure I read they were interested in Glasgie Rangers.
    Btw is it true that they can't (or won't) buy two teams in the same country because it could lead to conflict of interest ?.
