After all of the months of uncertainty and troubles, and with just a week to the big day. How about a sweepstake on who can guess the identity of the new owner.

 

My guess is purely from the heart, knowing in my head its totally wrong.

 

Richard Branson.

 

No no no no - categorically, no! (unfortunately)

Vincent and/or Robert Tchenguiz.

 

Involved in property and loads of other things (in 2007 bought Peverel Group based in New Milton).

 

Seem to remember Morph was hoping it wasn't them. They own a company called Consensus who rescued the estate agent Chesterton from administration a couple of years back - the Saints project is right up their street imho.

why do people have such high regard for Branson????

 

I think its because he has the ability (not always but more often than not) to take an idea and turn it into a money making business, and he has lots of money, which to be honest IF (and thats a big IF) the new owners are prepared to spend some of it, with the right team off the feild to make good decisions on we could get some success.

 

However look at QPR big money owners... wont spend it, and put the seat prices up to some ridiculous levels.... And interference off the pitch I am lead to believe.

I dont think Branson is likely to put more into something than he gets out.He is Mr Publicity, it will be balloon rides all over again. If he keeps us having a club so be it, but fans have to remember that we are likely to get a RL Mk2 as in things being run for profit. Branson is much more customer friendly though

Because he's an excellent business man who has built a brand with a superb world-wide reputation that people love to work for.

He creates a buzz, gives up considerable time and effort for charity and is great to work for and with.

 

Plus, he's not interested in football. It's not green and it's not advancing technology to create green fuels.
