    No it wasn't. It was Huw Jenkins ex Swansea owner & S African was part of the Consortium. Also Piquet but was too late to the Party as they say

    Nothing other than running away with the league title would be enough for some. I happen to think that winning any league is typically the exception for almost any club. Clubs like Liverpool, Man U, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, have all had their extended periods of failing to win their leagues. Man C will experience the same at some point. The same has applied at a lower level for many other teams.

    Overall this season has been a disappointment, for reasons well expressed by several different posters on here. Yes, we could have done rather better, but there’s no need to wet our pants over 5th.

    Yes the South Africans are the Nandos group.

    Its clear Reedtz was the best bidder the rest tyre kickers as Ray would say.

    Also the crook was sniffing around until he got outed.

    Nandos was nothing to do with it. That was pure gossip/rumour. A bit like the Yank that was going to buy Notts a few years ago who was suppossed to be NYY owner. the only link was he was once married to the owners daughter.
    Also the Huw Jenkins deal didn't happen as the main man doing the negotiating suffered a heart attack from what I can recall

    An interesting insight into what intelligent managers deal with covers how Pep Guardiola has adapted his philosophies for Premier League football.

    Maybe Burchnall may have some of that.

    And maybe the Bros plan is first and foremost sustainability. Or do you want another Trew/Hardy or even Munto 5 year plan to the Championship and remind me where that got us.
    Maybe we just need to attract some owners with financial clout, plenty of other clubs smaller than us seem to do it
    Lets face it since Pavis we have had no owners with any real money, the reason munto, Trew and Hardy all failed was down to lack of money - pure and simple

    Why did the South African consortium pull out?

    All of it is gossip as none of us really know who shown an interest.

    Nothing to stop Pique as you put it coming in is there ?

    Everything has a price.

    Seems quite a few supporters are happy with a lower play off place, and us then being also rans in the play offs for the forseeable future

    Its a shame they never had this mentality when we were doing well in League 1 with Curle, and later League 2 with Nolan
