I have a feeling it isn't just him and there will be multiple co-owners, possibly multiple billionaires.
No, but reasonably happy I suppose.
Unfounded rumour or he's saying nothing for now, that's the two meanings I'd read from that.
Nashville Predators sounds like a new Chris Hansen show
I read it as curtains, like the end. So for example the end of Wasps in Coventry or something
My favourite part of a potential takeover has always been the gif interpretation stage.
Jeff Stelling and Andrew Lloyd-Webber's love child?
I'm guessing you've carried on investigating further. Just to make sure you've been thorough, like.
But if all the football fans hate the wasps and the wasps only attracting small crowds and burning money left right and centre, why would anybody want us to have an owner who also owns wasps as the good money that could be spent on us will be used in their burning money pit.
I’d rather they just pissed off and we have absolutely nothing to do with them like we always have and concentrate on finding a buyer for just us and the stadium

The guy isn’t recognised as a billionaire by anybody (apart from a BBC article!), so I think it’s wildly optimistic he has a network of them ready to buy a football club.
He was part of an ownership group for the San Diego Padres in MLB a few years back (although since sold). Similarly with the other sports clubs he's owned. Nothing to suggest he could buy us on his own though.
This is the thing with him, he is involved in sports teams as a group, never owned one outright himself. To be honest I don't think he will be that interested and it is more about Ashley taking over. If what is being said is true, he seems to want to make his presence known in the local area by developing, bringing in employment, owning a football club that has potential to grow and he is from Walsall. Furthermore he will be well aware of Coventry's recent history. Taking on the wasps at £30m + is a massive loss no matter how much money you have.
Isn’t Ashley primarily interested in London Wasps and the stadium? The only place where it’s been claimed that we’re the main goal is on here out of hope more than anything else.
The problem with that is if you got one, put it on & looked in the mirror you would want to violently kill the twat who was looking back at you.I wonder if you can get an Elon Musk mask.
Well he needs to bid for the Wasps Group because that’s how he gets hold of the stadium, but if he had a choice between a failing and soon to be relegated rugby club and a Championship football club I think the latter is genuinely more appealing
