It's highly unlikely there is anyone to sell to.

I actually think it's time they officially put the club up for sale rather than wait for someone to put an offer in.
The club is stale and has been for a few years now.

What a ridiculous thing to say ‘I rather the club fold’. Hasn’t 97/98 season made people think or are you a supporter that has basically seen success. Trust me, there wasn’t much in the 70’s 80’s and 90’s. That has got to be the worst statement I have seen on this forum

Only offer's the board would receive currently would be derisory in their eyes.

I think they're quite happy to sit back and wait.

Problem is that their ideal buyout sum may never materialise.

Would you expect them to carry on running the club in the meantime?

Do you want them to pull the plug and call in the administrator?

Yeah, that's how selling a business usually works.
You don't close a business or stop running it when you want to sell it.

There are plenty of people out there who want to buy football clubs. Ask Gillingham and Scunthorpe. The club isn’t going to receive offers when know one knows it’s available

When the dust settles I don't believe the op will believe its better to fold. Its a knee jerk reaction to a heavy defeat and its because he does want rovers to succeed and is fed up of some of the shit we've been fed over the last 2 years

I dont know the words to describe how I fell mate , I’d go watch them in national league north , with a local business man who gave me hope if that makes sense but that we are at the moment does not sit right with me , and that does not mean I will go support Rotherham to get my footy fix

No I didn’t. I was going last week. Every game is an away game for me. I was a season ticket holder for many years a while back.
I get ceres allowance as my wife is disabled. Unfortunately I can’t afford many games but I have to be here for my wife a lot. I never depend on people to help.
Doesn’t stop me supporting my club but also making sensible answers or comments.
So I apologise I can’t get to every game

No need to apologise, we’re all facing different circumstances (Sutton will be my first game in a good couple of years) but perhaps you shouldn’t be so quick to judge those that have seen every game recently.

that is what I keep saying, it is his money he should do as he wants with it. It even said he bailed us out during covid.

I bet all the fans combined that have been to see the club home, away etc haven't even spent as much money as he has alone. Something like £20+ million?

And i bet looking from the comments which I bet he does or gets from word of mouth. Will be relieved it is now sustainable.

Hence why we are getting spanked on the pitch and had to subject ourselves to hammering like at home to Rotherham and again today. I lay the blame for the demise of the last 2 years down to him,, Blunt and Baldwin for the bad decision making, poor recruitment of novice managers, shoestring tightening and abject demise of performances on the pitch. No.denykng.it now like two years ago that it wasn't happening, we wouldn't get relegated etc etc it did and the owners are to blame,, overseeing one of the worst run off results over 2 years in our history. Fact.

In my opinion, and I believe the owners were there today to witness the shower, I hope they were, they are no longer interested in running a successful performance and results driven lower league football club, they are not interested , only in limiting how much its costs them personally, and Bramall the biggest culprit.

If they were to leave then we would likely be able to find an owner for a club with a lease on a modern stadium with room to grow into, a club that is financially sustainable, etc, Scunthorpe were taken over and they're a basket case. Whether a new owner would be better than current ownership is yet to be seen but surely everyone can see that with the current boards decisions in a football capacity, whether it's on the choice of manager, HoF or overall short/long term strategies at the club were going backwards.

At some point we have to same thanks for everything Terry but it's no longer working. The club would be better going in a different direction.

There's loads of fans on here, including myself, that wouldn't ever question the board, especially Bramall, due to what he's put into the club over the years but we're all starting to see our club go backwards and we don't see action to negate that. The football club may be in a good position but the football team is at a 15+ year low.

Utter whoppers.
