The consortium looking at RUFC

[Brin]

As reported by the Tizer here's who they are. Have to say I don't like the fact they've got their financial fingers in three other clubs. I suppose I can rest easy in the fact they wouldn't take any of our current lot and ship them out to China....

A very "buzzwordy" statement that won't particularly resonate with football fans.
Don't really know what to think about this to be honest.

Far Eastern money involved? Sudden Lee Sum Ting Wong springs to mind.

I'll get mi coat.

.........All sounds very edgy to me, not the sort big Tony would hand the club over to but, as always money talks and he's done his bit over the years and now wants out. Maybe if demands weren't as high last time with the Yanks consortium, this would have been well over with 2 seasons ago and we wouldn't have been in our current position.

Mmmmmm ! not very reassuring that methinks !!

Takes the club somewhere uncertain but we won?t be the first !!!

Needs sorting sharpish tho

Other clubs they are involved with never heard of. Doesn't sound to me they'd invest the funds needed to for us to progress?

Multi-club ownership can bring some benefits (if run well), but it can also lead to smaller clubs ending up as feeders to the larger teams in the structure. I'd also flag concerns around governing bodies tightening up on how these structures operate, and the danger of ownership groups having the ability to create profits for other businesses/holding companies set up to 'manage' the organisations. They can be very opaque, and given the consensus with our fans on needing more transparency and communication, this may be a very poor fit for a club like ours.

Put me down in the cynical camp for now.

I found it very interesting, and rather intriguing.
As a rule, if you're investing in something you expect a return, ie a profit,football clubs,especially ones in the EFL generally lose money, so what's in it for them ?
But there's no doubt this is what the club needs, so let's see what happens.

After Hall & Martha I'd give anything to do with Europe a wide birth.

What has Hall done wrong?? Sometimes I wonder if some fans only stick with the club to rip the players apart.
