JR: I'm always looking for investment for Doncaster Rovers. There is definite interest. Apparently another party is interested #drfc

Just a thought, perhaps TB wants to match the alleged Irish bid?

Sounds though any kind of investment is a long way off yet.

I'm unfamiliar with how it works but perhaps one of the other two want a higher price but the Irish lads don't want to pay that and TB is, proceeds to buy them out and then sells on himself?

Probably way off like and expect to be shot down in flames :laugh:

Hope you're wrong- sounds like a recipe for months of instability.

If that is what TB wants then he needs to deliver the good and soon!

Terry doesn't even like football.

But he does like Doncaster.

If he is uncomfortable with the Sequentia Capital bid for some reason and would prefer to put his own deal together then I would look more favorably on that.

I`m a bit miffed he`s pulled out of the event, it would have been interesting to here from the horses mouth the version of recent events

What I find interesting is that it is one person who has made a lot of money out of acquiring land and developing saying no to another person who has made a fortune out of acquiring land and developing!
I take it there is no possibility of developing land in the background to this deal?

If that's the case why didn't he put summat like this together months ago ? He wasn't/isn't happy putting money so get paid off and have an easy life would seem to be the logical answer to his dilemma if that was on the table.

Probably is money to be made by developing land. On the other hand Terry Bramhall is a very rich man he has put £100 million into a fund called the Bramhall foundation. He gave Birmingham University £2 million to build the Bramhall building.He has reached a time in his life where he may feel that chucking £50/60/70 million into his
Home town team might seem like a good idea, but if I was terry I would only want to do such a thing if I owned the club outright. Because at the end of the day Rovers becoming a Premiership team with Premiership income would be worth a great deal of money. But why should others benefit from his generosity.

Just my thoughts on this by the way :cool:

The present structure of the club means the big 2 only match what JR puts in.ie Jr can probably afford to put 650k in annually Watson and Bramhall match but both could afford to put in substantially more.
