This is it word for word "It is my understanding a new consortium have put in an offer to buy the club and have immediate funds to build UWE to original blueprints". Is that an actual tweet or just a repeat of Gasincider's post on Gaschat? It was tweeted by the FFS which is run by John The Stripe I believe.

That is the tweet. Whilst this might sound like good news I personnaly will wait until we find out A. Who is behind the group. B. Where the money is coming from. C. What their plans are for the club. I could add D, if it is true, but I 100% believe the perosn who tweeted it, if it is wrong then I think he has been led down the garden path.

Credit to the FFS for revealing this information, we've all been feeding off of bones for months now, nice to have a bit of meat served up. I just hope this is not come from a source who likes to feed squirrels with false info. The coverage of the UWE stadium and the club seeking new investment has been quite big, lets not forget that Samuelson was involved only a few months ago, these things don't happen overnight, looks like some rich group somewhere has hopefully now come forward to take up a very attractive deal.

I can't see why FFS have broken the news, unless there's a feeling NH is standing in the way, if so, why has he allowed CS on board?

I find this constant state of flux to be exhausting.

Anger, frustration & a desire not to let the club end up in a stadium that does not provide for real growth & for us to be around for the generations to come. I don't know if you know JTS ? If you did then you would understand that he would not do this without severe pressure and also a deep passion for the club. Unlike me, he doesn't post flippantly and sometimes irrationally I think it's very bold of him & I salute it. I guess we now wait & see as NH has form on turning away interested parties with the line that it is not in the best interests of the club. How I hope this is true and it would be such a tonic for us long suffering fans.

Is it likely that Higgs would turn down an approach from outside investors, even if those concerned had immediate funds to build the UWE? If that is what is going on then whoever they are need to go public.

Who believes every thing they read in the Sun? Exactly. Why should we believe anything on Twit s**t?

At the risk of sounding tick who or what is FFS ?

Firstly i am sad i was the one who had to break this news - my reasons are honourable i assure you and i have spent many days considering whether i was right to do so
I have known about this for a period of weeks and have given ample time for it to surface itself - Sadly it has not - I believe what i have passed on to be true and if proved otherwise i am fully prepared to fall on my sword and apologise fully for being wrong as well as lose any respect i may/may not have from Gasheads - i feel supporters deserve to know something if it has a bearing on the future of the club we love and not just known to a few - i am also not a fan of 'i know something you don't know' and think everyone has the right to do know if its 'out there'
my tin hat is firmly on and i know i will come in for plenty of stick in fact its already begun - that is my issue and i will have to live with it - thanks for some of the kind comments and i promise you i have only done this because i genuinely feel its the right thing to do and will of course keep you updated if i find out anything new
Cheers and UTG - JTS

And that's why you feel the need to break the news, as if that's correct the club is potentially being held back? Many thanks

Many thanks As far as i am aware the club are declining the offer at present - engagement is on going albeit slowly and possibly relunctantly mate
