    I completely disagree that we're unattractive to new owners. I think the opposite is true. But yes, we have to live with our current parameters for now.

    Can't work out if Luton left it too late to try and get people in, needed to shift loads out first or keep getting turned down but I see they've given up trying to sign Barnsley's captain now.

    If Keillor-Dunn could leave, that would be helpful. He always seems to play well against us

    When you look at clubs that get taken over, the locale really is a poor excuse.

    Anyone give any single reason Gillingham would be more attractive than City?

    At a push, you could pretend its because they're Southern and nearer London. Other than that, Gillo is a dive, isn't a particularly affluent area, doesn't have as big a stadium, dont have as many fans, doesn't have as much potential, etc etc etc

    BD8 is streets above some places that get investment in terms of potential, and certainly ad an established club with a support base that can continue to grow.

    Look at Wrexham. No real reason to invest there at all.

    Sounds like Luton are trying to shift a lot of lads and still are linked to 3 or 4 players. Left it really late.

    The great Stan Harland! Half back, signed from Everton if I remember. Very talented player.

    Spot on. The surrounding area isn't a blocker - its a non-issue for investors really. We have a Championship level fan base, single club city (and a large wider populace) etc. Really just a matter of price and what level of investment would be needed to make that next step. We're as, if not more attractive now than when Rupp came in, and there's more active interest and buying activity when it comes to investor owners buying into the UK.

    When you look at what the Man City owners have done at Eastlands, then BD8 is no stumbling block. I would say there's only a few clubs outside the top flight and Championship that are worth as much to an investor as we are. And they probably already have owners who have deep pockets.

    looks like it was dependent on shifting out Kavanagh first

    Re. Hudds, Radishlover is injured and out for a couple of months, May is suspended and the rest are midgets so they are needing a big fella but probably a loan.

    Clubs want Metcalfe. Doesn't sound like he's off til the summer.

    I did wonder if that might happen, let's enjoy him while we can

    Having seen his red card I feel a bit for Alfie May. He was grabbing the guys shirt and caught his hair too. I think there's a very good argument that players shoudn't be allowed to play with long dreads like that. Should be tied up.
