I have a friend who knows Alan Ball and he says that Alan is interested in putting in a bid for the club! I cant remember the name of the other person who Ball wants to create a partnership with but I know it is an ex england international of similar age. Apparently the two have been considering it recently, and are currently considering how much they will offer.

and before you all start, yes this IS true! the conversation happened, whether they actually do is another matter. So brace yourselves people..my source is highly credible, and would have no reason to lie, you heard it here first

 :D

Didn't Alan recently sell some medals to get some cash as he was running a little short?

i've no idea, it will be a group of individuals, with alan and the other guy (ex england international - name beyond me! ) so alan doesnt necessarily have to stump up any cash

Squeeky would be the front man for the money men presumably.

Don't doubt STFCere is sincere, but I'll believe the takeover when I see it.

As long as we don't end up with the high pitched one as manager it could be positive.

but what will they be taking over.we only have debts

at first i found it hard to believe considering our debt and the fact the stadium is going no where, but the conversation did happen, and they have been considering it recently. i reckon it would be a positive move, lets just wait and see....

your right, they would take on our debts...we have no assets other than the staff...but i guess they see potential further down the line

And was there any mention of STFC? There's lots of other clubs in existence you know...

if it was to happen i hope they don't come in and get rid of Iffy.

Have to say I'm with Batch on this - I'll believe it when I see it!

Cant see it either.

One bloke will have the money and Ball will be the gaffer.

of course i was talking about STFC otherwise i'd be on another clubs website!

i cant say anymore cause ive said all i know, with the kinda contacts ball has, money wouldnt be a problem...i'll try find out some more

 I wouldn't bother...it'll only be some more bullshit.

Til we sort our issues with the council no-one would touch us with a barge pole.

The day the present Board throw in the towel....will be the day the Trust either comes to the rescue or the club folds.

Alan Ball+football=relegation

nah. why would people want to take over this club? to be honest.

 It would only be someone with a romantic attachment to losing large sums of money......once upon a time I used to dream that there might have been someone at Wembley in 69, who made a large fortune in business and then wanted to put some into STFC before dying....bit like Jack Walker.

 I don't dream it any longer...

i dont know whos funnier. alan ball with the squeaks or wille carson at 4 foot 11

 For those of us old enough to remember the young Alan Ball was immense when England won the WC....something which shouldn't be forgotten that he was then the epitome of a proud Englishman...Carson is a Sweatie.

Don't believe it for a second.

Did Chris Evans ever make serious enquiries about the club?

No, Reg is right - Carson is Scottish ;-)

I hope it isnt true, Things are going ok at the moment for us and for the time being we need to keep it this way.

If it means extra money at the club and a better financial backing .. why not?

are they? lingering at the bottom still, stadium plans pretty much non-existant and the possibility of going bust next year. i dont think so. and its all our board and SBC's fault! cunts!
