I have heard that Bristol Rovers are actively looking for a new owner with current owner Wael al-Qadi having lost interest ala Andrew Black and refusing new team investment funding.

Difference being that Black actually put some in in the first place.

True that, rather than just saying he would as has happened at the gas, when all he wanted was the development rights of the Mem.

He’s valuing a pissy little L2 club at nearly £10m? No wonder Powers hanging on at SN1.

It will be interesting to see the players Bolton can attract when they are sorted due to the extra points deduction hanging over them, which surely would put them in L2 the following season

The Vegans have had their new stadium rejected by the council again, don't think it'll be long before Mr Egotricity walls away in a strop, that'll then be the end of them.

They'll need to start attracting some quickly. Only six senior pros currently left, according to the Times today

8 according to Wiki but that can change daily. Didn't we have only about 4 contracted 1st team players when PdC took over following our relegation and still did pretty well the following season? Could be difficult to attract players with that 12 point deduction over their head, but saying that with a good run they could be on positive points by September.

Maybe but (again according to the Times), the new owners are guaranteeing a £1m recruitment budget. That's not going to fund a Di Canio style "throw enough shit at the wall and some of it might stick" recruitment splurge

There will always be jobbing football mercenaries willing to play one season on good lower league wages as they near the end of their careers.

A 1 million recruitment budget will get them a ball boy and a tea lady
