 I wonder if we spend a hefty chunk of money on players in January? If so could this be a clue? Would love to see thee Americans out of our club. Its not them being American that's the problem its that they are investors . (they want to take a lot more out than they put in ).

| This post has been merged from a topic called 'Takeover in weeks?' by bexleydave I have seen 2 figures £125m and £215m I think one of the papers has a typo. Worrying times until we know more. Where is the money coming from? I hope they are not going to do a Man United and buy the club with our money saddling us with a load of debt? What are their plans or do they see us a a PL cash cow? Here's hoping its the right kind of owners.
