It will be interesting to see if they kick on next season as a result of this.

No surprise the Prince with no money has flipped the club as this will give him a tidy return following the Blades seasons in the Prem. His purchase and financing of the club was largely through loans which will probs be paid off following his gamble.

Ironically, it seems the potential new owner specialises in purchasing and selling entities for profit.

These sort of owners don't put their own money into clubs, just take it out one way or another. A few owners gambles pay off but most don't.

Could be a bargain if they sneak up via the play offs
