Stifler Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 LMFAO. My step dad has just said he reckons Richard Branson is buying is because he saw something on Facebook about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tollemache Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Always seems like a nice chap, Branson. I find it impossible to imagine anyone chanting for him to fuck off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Always seems like a nice chap, Branson. I find it impossible to imagine anyone chanting for him to fuck off. He's a good guy I reckon, but he likes to go with what's popular or is a PR stunt at any given time and won't commit long term to 'hobbies', nor could I see him investing so much money in a 'hobby', and I fail to see how his Virgin empire would gain from owning us. So for those reasons I think it is totally unrealistic, not to mention that it was mentioned by someone on Facebook. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he is big into charity now, so you never know he might just see us as a charity case. He also likes to try the 'impossible' - bringing a trophy up North would certainly be his biggest challenge yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tollemache Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 The random factor is that sometimes someone will just really fancy the idea of having a football club, even if it doesn't really make much sense. I'd rather take a chance on Branson who seems fundamentally an ok guy, rather than a Thai politician, bearded porn lord or Russian gangster. But yeah, to reiterate, this story about Ashley having some drinks the day after a football match is so much meaningless wank. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The former Thai Prime Minister was born closer to St James than Ashley or Branson, he was born in Wallsend. You probably haven't heard of it though, for your benefit, its to the East of Newcastle.

David Icke - Son of God Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Remember late 90s when Time Warner (?) & Ntl were linked with buying us? NTL actually wanted to didn't they? Until they realised owning a Premier League club outright would be a roadblock to buying the PL TV rights. They ended up buying a small stake instead. I remember the rumours that Frank Williams wanted to buy us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
