Takeover ??

[Blue Pike]

Dont know if its a wind up but just been on Batley forum and it comes from sky sports rl of an American investment group wanting to take over Fev.Any truth. ?????

[Robin Evans]

I would imagine as likely as me being mistaken for Johnny Depp.....

[Blue Pike]

But I honestly thought you were in Edward Scissorhands.

[plug]

So thats you robin in the pirates outfit ??

[Blue Pike]

Is someone from Batley really that sad they would spend time designing a news article thets a lie??

[Robin Evans]

It's rubbish. The same 'account' was posting the same carp about a takeover of Bradford last week. Someone's got too much time to waste.

[The Phantom Horseman]

It's a wind-up account.

I was also in Pirates of Penzance so is this a 'First Rate Opportunity'  Robin? Perhaps if it is rumoured to be American then it is USeless. So if it is wind up rubbish does somebody want clocking?

[Robin Evans]

To be fair, I only did pirates once. I did HMS pinafore many times.

I only joined cos I fancied a girl in the production..... ended up doing the full run....

We'll sail the oceans blue etc etc

No. As mentioned, a fake account which has been doing the rounds for a while.

[Fev1983]

It looks legitimate when you first see it.

[jamescolin]

It has got to be illegitimate cos some #### posted it.

Clue to our next two signings: GILBERT AND SULLIVAN. Great players.

It's a fake account on twitter

[Blue Pike]

Thanks .By the way due to all this musical chairs nobody has mentioned that our best centre Ulugia was badly injured and is out for the rest if the season.

On the topic of Takeover I am partial to a bet on the horses and it's widely known how much money Arab owners pay for race horses ,millions just on one horse.I would love just one of these rich people to  have an interest in our game and choose us to invest part of their billions in.If any fan has middle eastern contacts have a word.???

[lingard]

If we could get them to buy donkey's instead...... 

[Blue Pike]

Im sure after looking over our equine stock quite a few of them would be put out to pasture and a couple of them sent to the glue factory and top thorough breads would be brought in from the NRL for us to dominate the debt ridden clubs of the Super League.

Going off topic from all the fake news but would a serious offer to take over the club require a full members vote?

That is why i cringe when i hear talk of changing Salford into Manchester.Salford has a proud history in its own right.If Manchester want a Rugby League side it would only take Petty cash from Man City or Man United to build a team to dominate our cash strapped game.

I once met & had a chat with Sheikh Mohammed for about half an hour, aside of horseracing the only sport he wanted to talk about was hunting with his hawk in the desert. We need someone from Hollywood (or the British film industry, if there was one left) to make a movie about the stand gang, that's the likeliest route to some billionaire falling in love with the club.
