So, looks like 49ers are serious in injecting finances and resources and wanted Rodger’s desperately. No surprise he doesn’t want to drop to championship tho. 3 other points;
1 - With 49ers serious on getting us up and making all the right noises - I don’t get why they didn’t buy us sooner having been involved since 2018. Can clearly see the potential of the club. Weird.
2 - I like Farke. Budget at Norwich was limited. Even when they got relegated from prem twice they spent £20m - completely different with Leeds. His style of football suits.
3 - Farke interviewing the rest. Get him in and let’s start early. Rodger’s bottled it.
Farke’ing hell

The takeover hasn't happened because it requires approval by the EFL.
It's 49ers Enterprises buying the club. They are an investment fund. Which is why I find so surprising that people seem shocked that investors are investing in an investment fund making an investment.
I'm not sure what is unexpected about that.

I was specifically thinking about Larry Nance....but I must say I'm filled with less and less confidence the more I hear about potential owners who have never even been to a football game.
Do we get a Ryan Reynolds or a GFH?

"If I recall, Celtic and Rangers would go into the Championship and have to stay for 3 seasons before being allowed promotion…can’t remember why it fizzled out, the Pros outweigh the Cons for me."
So if that was to happen who would drop out off the Championship to free up their spaces?..
If they were allowed to join the English leagues they should start at the very bottom and work their way up like all the clubs that are trying to do so!..
No way 2 clubs should be kicked out off any league to make way for anyone!..

Now we have three u.s. golfers trying to get involved.

I'd rather it was American golfers than Saudi or Qatari sovereign wealth fund investors.
Still, this will no doubt complicate the vetting process, so we can forget about a smooth and speedy transition.
Not ideal but not a disaster, like Bates, GHF or Cellino.

And I thought someone was going to say one off them with Swansea!..
Only because they're not English!..
Mind, I'm not sure, are Millwall English?.

I'm all for rangers and Celtic joining the league, however it should only be at the first available slot in the footballing pyramid.
