Bit like micheal Knighton and his consortium to buy United , or many of the current premier sides looking to sell , when it comes to the show the show me the money , they are often falling short , if that's the kind of chairman you want then god help us Sure thing but by that logic, where is Roland's money? In your world if Roland was coming in now he wouldn't pass your test. I'd also argue that the combined resource of these three respected businesses with the right financing more than passes Pilch's arbitrary test of "show me the money". Edit : also for the "kind of chairman I want" I listed three well known businesses each with town supporters at their helm. I didn't bring anybody else into this debate to use a strawman. You did. Like all the other chairman , they are not coming in now , they are already there If it helps I heard they didn't have the money |

I also heard RW keeps messing about and demanding more money, hence nobody takes him seriously. I've heard he's the joke of the footballing world around the agents, heard a few good stories from my contact up north.
With all the astrology, freemasonry and other general nonsense I feel like it's got to the point where people question if he's in full possession of his faculties.

As for your second, well I'm sure your sources are impeccably well informed as to why 3 highly successful businesses including one with consistent profit in the tens of millions and 9 digit turnovers can't afford a moderately sized league 1 football club, I'm sure it is nothing to do with the incumbents demands for the asset in question. |

Not much point in a fans forum when there's no debate. |

I am baffled what Roland’s motivation is……..
Surely he can’t enjoy this dross, or is all about bank balances and kidding himself he has a 9-5 job in the week

Big issue we have as a club now is why would he want to sell It’s probably worth less than it has been at any point since we moved grounds. No value on the pitch, dropping crowds, no additional land to sell. Who the hell would want to pay £5m let alone 10/12m especially all those with no money to invest |

I just want to say thank you for your efforts in trying to save our club, it's much appreciated the work you did in what seems like impossible circumstances. |

Roland will do what Roland wants for himself.
Nothing we can do about it until………
Doesn’t stop fans wanting him to sell up though

Go on name him Here we go again, you don't need a buyer lined up to sell your home. He'll do what's right for him and his family, but that's because ultimately he's not a fan. If he sells it for his initial investment and puts the ground and training ground in fan trust I'll personally donate £500 towards his statue. |

If I had his money and I was his age I'd sell the club for £1, sign the ground and training ground over to a fans trust and make the difficult decision of where I fancied my statue. |

Roland would look good as a statue. He may as well have been one since his "Championship within 10 years" comment back in 2007. Joking aside he's done some good things in his time, some more luck than judgement; but he's far outstayed his welcome now and it's going to get toxic before long. |

Steve Dale Jeez you really can't see past the end of your own nose , if someone doesn't have the pittance of the Price He wants then Do you actually Expect Investment in the club from them , dream on you are in fantasy land , the biggest part a take over is not finding the buying fee but finding the regular investment after that, that's what's scaring them all Off , |

This is the whole point though, with modern ideas and a bit of foresight it wouldn't be a regular investment, the club would be self sufficient. On an average season we lose peanuts. |
