    Makes me think why would people spend £15m on a team that doesn't own its own stadium.

    Even if the deal included the ground they are still being ripped off...

    I wonder if part of the deal is to buy the ground too for that price?

    Think the concept of NFTs is pretty cool.

    Foundation is a pretty interesting platform to have a look at if you want to know more about what they are and how it works.

    Here you go... https://foundation.app/

    Adams is a big believer in stats based data, so he would probably be extremely excited to have new owners that believed in the same.

    Either because they're (a) idiots, or (b) they're very very confident that they can turn it into something worth much more or (c) they're rich and £15m is a drop in the ocean.

    If they're offering 15m for something the previous owner paid less than half for and has made it worse, then (a) is definitely in play.

    Or its all BS.

    I think everyone dreams of a sugar daddy for their club and recently, the only likely takers are oil rich Middle Eastern royals with dubious political and social ethics.

    I for one welcome our new Cryptonite overlords.

    Do these Americans have guns by the way?

    If so, can we delete my post insinuating they're idiots?

    I’m all for Rupp out but not to some American nerds experimenting with our club in crypto currency. This will surely get blocked by the EFL either way!
