According to The Lower Tiers on X a consortium consisting of Dennis Bergkamp, Henrik Larsson, Dirk Kurt, Ronald Koeman and Phillip Cocu are looking to buy a club in England. We can only dream!

Also EuroFoot stating the following 2 hours ago

Dennis Bergkamp, Dirk Kuyt, Henrik Larsson, Ronald Koeman are looking to BUY a club in England! ✈️

The aim is a League One/Two club at this point. Larsson wants to be head coach, Bergkamp will set up the academy, whilst Koeman will also have a role somewhere.

They are working with agent Rob Jansen who confirmed the news to podcast 'Keift Janson Egmond Gjip'!

They'd probably approach Raj and end up buying Rochdale instead.

Well if their aim is to buy a League One or Two club, Pools are out of the picture.

They have probably never heard of the town or the team as it’s north of Watford.

Aye, they want one of those outer London cutey clubs in commuting distance of central London….especially as it’s their own money.
Get any team into the Premiership for a single season even and it’s kerching…£££££

What do you mean by 'cutey'? I don't think the likes of Crawley have a hope in hell of getting to the Premier League, however much money was spent on them. Teams like Charlton and Milwall with decent sized grounds and a proper fan base could, given oodles of dosh and a genius manager.

Stevenage are currently in a play-off place to get into the Championship, but with a ground capacity of 7,200 and average crowds this season below 4,400 they're already punching well above their weight. I doubt Bergkamp and co. would have deep enough pockets to make a massive difference - any more than Scholes and co. have been able to rise through the divisions with their hobby club.

though premier league clubs need a minimum ground capacity also. in that case they,d never make it and that includes pools as well.

I've just read Westlife have bought a controlling interest in Chorley Town. We live in hope.

See, forgotten already…’investors’ are like the tide, ebb and flow and are regular as clockwork, they just vary in height/ real commitment, we need a high tide and a tide table. :laugh:

It's strange there's been no reaction or gossip leaked by anyone in or around the consortium or the trust.

You tend to find if things are going well on the pitch, such things are quietly buried.

Would still have expected something around the lines of missed opportunity from someone in or around the "offer".
Mind, we've still not heard anything from Raj a out what his future plan for the club is either.

Eiphos_3 · **Posted:** Thu Feb 29, 2024 3:52 pm

If it isnt a club in London (which we all know it will be)... Then i bet its an Oxford United or Cambridge.

Wont be the grubby lands of Hull or Sunny Blackpool will it !

They will have pinpointed location - fans and ground capacity.

But who ever they get what a team to have on the board and running the club ! 2 of the best strikers to play the game to say the least !

Imagine the links for loan players those lads will have - be half the Dutch U21s

Not really strange if the organisation is professionally minded enough. What is strange is that Raj hasnt officially backed away from n him 'find me a buyer or else I'll stop funding the club' threat.

They said they hadent give up n would be back.
While Raj hasn't said anything regarding long term ambitions or commitment.
Still up in the Air.
Maybe if KP can't work a miracle he's gone n back up for sale next Xmas.
Fcuk knows

A little bit of shape up on the grass has put it all on the back burner which ain't good or bad

Eh.

Can't possibly be Pools, that they are going to buy, as Mr Porter and Boyd would have informed us all. He's clearly busy getting the Will Farrell deal over the line bbolt

Probably a better investment than Pools. At least the glue factory will get you a bit of s return.
