Whoever puts in a bid I hope they have an interest in football and want to build up the club in a sustainable way. Town are just stagnating and we need a new person at the top to move us forward. My concern is that wish may well and truly go out of the window, if, as mentioned the Chairman is " desperate" to sell. |

My concern is that wish may well and truly go out of the window, if, as mentioned the Chairman is " desperate" to sell. As much as I criticise Roland, I don't think he will look to sell to just anyone and would genuinely only sell to someone who he believes would be a good thing for the club. The problem is Roland's ability to judge people as we know that there have been a string of dodgy characters that he has brought to the club |

Capricorn: Known for their unwavering trustworthiness and commitment. Taurus: Often at the top of the list when it comes to trustworthiness. Virgo: Pisces’ opposite zodiac sign and reliable. Cancer: Also considered trustworthy. Libra: An intellectual and sensitive air sign. |

does anyone want to talk about what could been ? Not sure why you’re treating Burton’s poor form as some sort of bizarre “I told you so”. The new owners have only been there a few months, it’s not like their squad is full of new signings. As Shelton says, I’d much rather be them than us. |

I guess the difference between us and Burton right now is that if they have to make changes, such as sack a manager, or go back into the transfer market they actually can.
Whereas we’ve got the chairman being praised for putting in an extra thruppence to loan in a Port Vale reject, and a head coach telling some of our fans they need to do their research if they were expecting better than 4 points from 9 games.

Pilch do you think Mickey Moore would have wasted all the extra investment?
I'd have thought our excellent director of football would have used it very wisely.

I've no idea what that means sorry Well you're suggesting Burton haven't benefited much from the takeover and their initial investment. Surely we wouldn't have wasted the same money? |

Don't disagree with you but their squad is very much full of new signings, over 20 in fact. Quick scan of their starting XI yesterday and it only contained 3 players who were at the club last season. |

This was reported (the English is theirs, not mine) at the time of the Burton takeover:
"The early indications are that this will not be a situation like so many other in which a wealthy entrepreneur steps and and throws multi-millions at a club. But the consortium are promising significant investment in the ground, the playing side of the club and in their community activities."
Right now I'd be more confident about Burton's future than ours, until & unless that sale comes along.

Even if Burton are currently struggling, the new owners have put money into the club, they have a clear vision about how the club is to be run. They are looking to make it run in a sustainable model. They also own another club i think it's in Norway. So they are not asset stripper's and have a genuine interest in football. So I know who I would rather have running the club. |

You just have to hope that whoever takes Town over does it in a similar vein. You would hope that RW would think the same way too, being a fan you would hope so anyway. |

In Norway the clubs are generally fan owned with some commercial investment on the side, in Sweden they have to be not for profit and cannot be 51% owned by an individual or company So while they are probably lovely people, their merits as strippers or not are untested |

Whilst words are cheap.what they have said in interviews is they plan to invest in improving the ground but also invest in the local community ... One of the consortium is billionaire Karl Johan person who is regular seen at Djurgarden matches, so at least he may have a genuine interest in football,a number of the members if the consortium are billionaires |

Quite amusing reading the Burton forum. They have quickly gone from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the river. They are now forecasting a return to L2 and doubting they will ever return to L1. Lots of fans saying they will not be bothering attending their matches any time soon.

OLE Jakob Valla Strandhagen is to become the new Head of Sports at Norwegian Eliteserien side Molde FK from 1st December.
He will remain as Burton Albion Chairman until a successor is appointed.

Here's a thread on them discussing their chairman quitting today I wonder if they wish they'd have bought Shrewsbury instead 😝 burtonbrewers.proboards.com/thread/5713/chairman-quits-brewers |

And as we know, all football fans have to take what their club tell them as gospel Anyway, personally I'm delighted to see the Burton struggle and I'm sure most of our fans would agree, the challenge is to find 4 teams worse than us this season and hopefully they are one of them |

It was only ever intended as a short term position - so why has a replacement not yet been identified if they knew he would leave.
He was there to cover the initial transition - that's a pretty short transition period considering the changes there.
Like on here, some Burton fans want to believe all is fine, while others will be sceptical. I would be in the latter.
