MILLWALL AND SOUTHAMPTON are now the two championship sides that Boxing tycoon Turki Alalshiek is interested and GOING TO BUY!!! One of. Unless!! Something more attractive comes up!
Not being biased, but are we not a bigger club with more potential than them two?

We were probably more attractive than Millwall before we got relegated.
But not Southampton.

Millwall yes Annis. But living relatively close to Southampton and knowing people that work for them, they are everything we should be but sadly are not in terms of being run. They have been primarily a top flight club for most of the last 40 years and despite being sandwiched between two other currently more successful Premier League clubs, they have a huge catchment and everything is geared towards top flight. They will go straight back up.

I wouldn’t say we were bigger than Southampton.
They have spent the majority of the last 15 years in the premier league and have had much better crowds than us too.
Millwall, yes I would say we are a bigger club than.
The capital city club thing I don’t believe makes that much of a difference if I’m honest, and Millwall are also a club in a capital city.
One thing that I would say however, is that both clubs are higher than us in the football league and would be cheaper to purchase than what Tan wants.
There lays the problem, he wants unrealistic amounts of money for us.

This man is a serious player. He's pretty much single handed, transformed how boxing match ups are arranged by stumping up the cash. Plus trying (and wont get too far) from monopolising any and all sport that will sell up.
Whoever he takes on, will likely go all the way.
Be nice, wouldn't it? More chance of me beating Usyk over 12 rounds, though.

Posted awhile back if City are not careful we'll be left behind there are numerous lower leagues clubs with possibilities of being taken over with rich buyers ... and they've seen how Wrexham have done it so are keen to go down that route?
Are we bigger than the two mentioned? Both have merits but we are equally as big if not more attractive to buy.... tan as reached a crossroads more than one season in div 1 and he will have a decision to make because of his losses....even if get promoted he won't have the funds to take us forward as in two years club would have lost 15m relegation and if promoted it'll cost him many millions in increased wages & costs ... tan needs to sell its that simple if club is to progress.

Agree Ned and Southampton have a good youth/U21's set up - who lost to Man City last week in the Final .

We'll those who think it's easy for tan to sell? Sheffield Wednesday owner as just turned down an improved offer from Saudi billionaire fans are most unhappy they want him gone as much as we want tan gone ...

Probably don't want to negotiate with Tan with his deluded price tag on Cardiff

I work in Southampton and all I can say is Turki might change his mind when he sees the place and the people that live there….
Would agree with most though, Southampton are probably a bigger club. On paper we have a few similarities with Southampton, club with a large catchment area, good stadium, the club is a well known “name”. Shame we have been run like we have otherwise it could have been a different story
