    With £2m investment we could sign that Haaland fella for a month (£500k per week), but knowing our clueless lot that month would be June...!!

    I hope it’s with a view to eventually buying him out or becoming the majority shareholder. I heard a few weeks ago that Hughes might be involved but it could just be terrace gossip.

    Is this all Chinese whispers and wishful thinking by supporter. What ever happens , its perfectly clear we need to spend what we have much more wisely.

    It was one of the lads I know from way back who I believe has something to do with hosting hospiality but he didn't have a name for the potencial new investor Huw Jenkins name has certainly been mentioned during Julians second time at the club.

    Not happening. We get the same rumours every year at this time. A rouse to drum up interest in STs after yet another season of decline.

    Huw Jenkins .. Welsh. Mark Hughes ... Welsh. Spooky eh?

    That should reinforce the rumour mill ;)

    Darragh McAnthony was the white Knight name I heard mentioned. As I say, I think its nonsense.

    We'd end up loaning him to Swindon

    Is this the new annual rumour to replace Billy Sharp?
    If this was to be true then what does Jenkins or anyone else get out of giving us £2million as it can't be a loan if it's going into the player budget unless it's transfer fees so it would have to mean they are buying a share in the club

    if someone is giving £2m for a share in the club and the cash is going to Hughes then our owner is going to struggle even more to ever get his cash back out by selling the club.

    If he has out £6m in so far and is giving up a third of the shares for the £2m investment then he would have to sell the club for £9m to get his £6m back

    That’s the area his name was mentioned yesterday. But it could be just another rumour. But what isn’t a rumour is the statement saying we have a very competitive budget this coming season
