G and S for me as they are the only ones we know about, there is to much of a grey area with the rest.

G&S have experience, they have their own money, but have been around for ages...I feel that if something were going to happen involving them, it would've by now. Also they're only bidding for part of the club, I'd rather the icelanders were gone for good.
TF - Has turned airAsia into a well run business, wouldn't mind seeing him here - but would DEFINITELY be based on loans, as his net worth is only just more than what Straumur are asking for the club.
Italian bloke - Unless he has just been using Cagliari as a learning curve, he's nothing special. Should've come in earlier if he was THAT interested...
I've voted Intermarket, I just hope we get the ENIC type consortium, rather than the BG type. Of course, the two big questions are 1) where is their money coming from? 2) are they real? However, IF they live up to their word, they'd be the best choice. Also, they're bidding for 100% of the club

I don't want us to be yesterdays Birmingham!
G & S will only take us to mediocraty and this goes to show in the amount they've bid in my opinion (based on paper reports). They just won't be able to keep up with the real money men needed to run a top flight Prem club, Birmingham have taken off sinse they've left and lets face it, judging by what I've read on here and heard from Birmingham fans G & S were not that popular and was not keen to put their hands in there pocket!
I do like Gold out of the two, he comes across very well when speaking on talk sport recently and I would like him involved but Sullivan no way just not keen on him, Sullivan just wants to look good sitting on top of the cake saying aren't I the nuts!!!
They may bring some form of stability and sort out the finances, I just can't see them taking us any further than previous owners we've had.

They would be the safe bet but our luck has to change someday so i would be up for taking the risk with someone a bit more ambitious.Tel The Hammer wrote:Gold & Sullivan.
At the end of the day I just hope our new owners arnt a bunch of c****. Villa would be a great mould to follow imo

TF for me. He's shown with Air Asia that he can think big and deliver. Of course he'll borrow money but that isn't a problem. Anyone who thinks he bought all his very expensive aeroplanes with his own money go to the back of the class. Borrowing to invest isn't a bad thing. He's grown Air Asia into a very well run business and both his investors and the banks are happy.

I bet that exact same thing could be said of Mike Ashley. Obviously not Air Asia but still.....Johnny Byrne's Boots wrote:TF for me. He's shown with Air Asia that he can think big and deliver.

Re: West Ham United FC Ownership Poll (13/01/10)
The problem Mike Ashley had was that he was dealing with Geordies. Sacking Sam Allardyce was a massive mistake, bringing in King Kev was the next and then employing Dennis Wise as Director of Football was his 3rd.Yea Why Not wrote: I bet that exact same thing could be said of Mike Ashley.

Alan Shearer taking Newcastle down was just the icing on the cake.
