Which group would be your preferred choice?

Your preferred consortium?

We know there are three potential parties:

Bale fronted group
Otto group
Other group

There are plus sides and negative sides with all three I would imagine, but for me, the way that Otto talks about football and his path to ownership is a really good sign.

Bale

South African bid way out in front! :thumbup:

But I’d accept Bale as an investor, if that was a possibility! :ayatollah:

South African or the other one.

Not Bale.

Any involving Bale. Football is all about publicity and media these days. Bale being the face of the consortium would be global news and the sponsorships he could bring in would be massive. Could have a positive impact on future signings too.

Bale.

Beyond name recognition he’s invested a lot within the area already so stands to gain a lot if we can finally become a consistent Premier League team.

I worry with the South African with what happens if his “dream” to own a football club (no disrespect to Sutton but we’re a clear level ahead) turns into a nightmare. What does he do then?

My dream ticket is Otto and Bale together

I just want Bale involved. But I am warming very much to Gary Otto, while trying my best to distance my headspace away from all the rumours! Tan will still have a spanner in the works and a big part to play , I just feel it :banghead:

I would answer the same way & as long as Tan is gone we can move on & hope for the best from any of them.

South Africans have the Real Money to take us to the Top / So Def them :bluebird: :bluescarf:

They’ve also offered double what Bales group offered

So its going to be the South African then.

Tan will not get a better offer.

Not Bale he may have city at heart buy at end day it's the money men that counts..... not sure about their commitment given what other American investors panned out elsewhere... at least with otto he's doing it for right reasons and you'd expect his backers also to be in tune with him despite being American.

SA for the insane wealth.

If possible get Bale on board for obvious reasons.

The ones with the most money Let’s face it we don’t know much about the people behind the bids So can’t tell who would have our best interest at the forefront. So might as well go with the money

whichever one who has the deepest pockets.
Then hopefully they spend that cash on new players and new developments for the stadium. (maybe blue seats)
Personally I preferred when our stadium was like a bowl because the atmosphere was so much better than nowadays at home games.
Thinking of when we beat Man City in our 1st home game in the Premier League in 53 years.
