Drewks/WorldClass, I have to agree with all you have said and I too am apprehensive about what will happen to our beloved club and can only hope and pray for a successful, positive and understanding outcome.
It seems obvious that English football and particularly the Premier League is held in a higher regard overseas, particularly in the Mid and Far East than it is in the UK, otherwise, why do we not see mega wealthy potential British owners showing interest.
We all have our opinion on the playing policies of Pulis and management of JP, but this foreign buyer scenario could, potentially, become a nightmare for us all. On the other hand, given this mans wealth, we could possibly become a second Manchester City with real aspirations of success. Untold wealth can be both good and bad - good if funds are available to attract 5 star players and a progressive Head Coach. On the other hand, could it be a 'Vincent Tan' scenario with re-naming, re-shirting and re-branding?
Time will tell but I just hope JP as a 'fan' can see further than the £150m he will draw from any sale.
(Anyone wish for a return to the old days of Bovril, 5 Park Drive, and a 5/-d Steak & Kidney pie at half-time ?)
