    I don’t have any info but my guess is Mark Warburton

  • Bloke hasn’t got a crust. 
  • I’ve haddock enough of this.
    Just roll with it.

    I just hope he's not a seedy character.
    No offence of course @JamesSeed 😉.
  • I know they do crumpets......but what about vol au vents?
  • Away from the puns for a second why do people think its Mark Warburton?

    The link mentioned that the Banker has experience with Premier League clubs but he's never been involved in that respect unless of course it means dealt with clubs when he was a Banker before going to Brentford?

    He's selling. If nothing else comes from this thread of almost 150 pages, at least we can take away this one fact: he's selling. He may not be selling today, or this week, or this month. But, he's selling. We all want to know who the new owners are, what the price will be, how much money they've got, what their plans are, who we might sign and what is going to happen to The Valley. All of these remain firmly up in the air. But there's one, cast-iron fact we know: he's selling. He won't want to lose more money. Despite how some people present the opportunities to offset losses against tax, he doesn't want to lose more money. No-one does. It's a stain on his business record, it's a loss to his prestige, it's a drag on his resources and it's a diminution of his - and his family's - wealth. So, either sooner or later, there is no doubt, whatsoever: he's selling. I want to know when and I want to know what's next. But, I can wait. And, if he's reading this, I have one message for him - I can wait longer than you, Roland. Not least because, unlike you, Roland, I have nothing to lose. And that's why this thread - despite being inconclusive on a number of issues so far - is so heartening, uplifting and positive. Because, sooner or later, there's no doubt about it now: he's selling.
    He might still be selling but doesn't appear to have been too worried about losing more money otherwise he would have done so by now.He doesn't seem to realise that, eventually, he will run out of players worth anything to sell. And I'm afraid the "heartening, uplifting and positive" ship carrying my hopes that he would do so sooner rather than later sailed some time ago.

    Would be ecstatic to be proven wrong and for it to happen before next season though.

    With the Academy between 2006 and 2010 reading through his Wiki entry so potentially joined them the year they got relegated from the Premier League with us - They then didnt return to the top flight until 2015
  • Warburton leaves his farmhouse with his bread and buys the assets of Baton 
  • I know they do crumpets......but what about vol au vents?
    Think that's just a load of waffle...
  • These bread puns are a real pain
    They sure are, they should be using their loaf and concentrating on the bid, which, in my opinion, is "Brown Bread" before it's even started I think.

    Ah! If so it's no wonder Muzza has had his head down, NDA and a conflict of interest! You just knew he would be lurking in the background.

    Would take a punt this mystery banker bid will have a familiar face (in Charlton terms) attached to it
    What you thinking boss RM or Reg? :open_mouth:
    RM then  :s

    If correct, that would explain a lot ... particularly Roland’s apparent preference for this consortium. 
  • 1563, The English surrender Le Havre to the French.

    And that folks would explain why The Aussies were always 'The Preferred Bid'.

    Murray just can't help himself yet again putting his own interests ahead of those of the club.
    I think Murray would try to insert himself into any deal, to be honest, and that’s also why I believe he would be keen to block any deal involving Varney.
    That may be so Airman.......but would Goldfinger be influenced by anything Murray has to say......at one time that may have been the case but I doubt it is nowadays?

Roland Out Forever!
