This Swiss/American bid has been leaked so heavily through the media I already don't like it.

Whilst it was at times frustrating that the club act as a closed shop, there always felt so much more dignity and control over things and I also found it amusing that most journalists had no clue regarding the club and resorted to complete guesswork.

There seems to be a couple of reports tonight to suggest Roman has had quite a bit of interest and serious enquiries made around the 3bn figure. This could quite easily be a means to hurry through serious candidates but if it is indeed true and there are other offers that are being made in a much more discreet manner that immediately to me feels more comfortable than this media circus from these two.

Listen, things are about to change for us and it will never be the same as it is under Romans Reign. We better face the music and fast because this could become an extremely hard fall for us as fans... we have been soo lucky to live through the History Roman has given us. We all obviously hope it can continue under a new regime but let's face it.. it isn't going to happen unless we get a City type owner... and it looks asif there are none interested with such wealth.

Many of these English pundits, journalists, and politicians just don’t seem to think that a person can change and evolve and that they ALWAYS have some ulterior motive even when trying to do good.

Someone has a shady, questionable past? They’re evil forever. Someone donates huge sums of money to charity? They’re just trying to launder their reputation. 

No matter how much genuine good Roman did off the pitch these people will never give him credit. It’s really pathetic. People can acknowledge that someone is problematic without treating them as though they are evil incarnate.

The World is spun by hypocrisy. It is common for man to stand on a mound of mistakes only to point the finger of those that others made.

Id like to think people learn from their mistakes. I noticed most massive anti war protests are in Germany and Italy. Maybe they feel some guilt from the past?

And yeah, speaking of hypocrisy:

When you've had an owner like Roman, everyone else feels like a dowgrade.

Also the hypocrisy and the media can just fuck off.

Their consortium giving me a bad vibes, seems like bunch of money hungry businessmans.

Are you talking about the consortium involving the Swiss banker Wyss? If so, I liked the interviews I've seen with Todd Boehly. He's an impressive bloke. He isn't Roman but we've been spoilt. We are never going to find another Roman.

Ditto the women's team Deal breaker for me.

That is one of the things you'd expect to be given full respect at least by American owners given the success and popularity over their own women's football team.

Out of my own curiosity, is it not possible for Roman to inherit the club to Arkadiy, his oldest son?

I mean, that will be extremely insane if Arkadiy have risk of being sanctioned as well, provided he has no relations to Putin?

Even untill now the UK govt still can't build any case against RA. And they have been failing to do so in the past as well.

He 's Russian and he did n't condemn Putin - only declared he is against the war.
So he is a victim of circumstances really.

Of course the intensity given to the story is a cover up - Putin's pals in the UK were the brexiters and Boris Johnson:
