That was my first thought, and they are always linked with us when it has come to take overs.

If they were thinking about buying the club then it would need to be a consortium and one with some clout. Jasper did sell his shares in Selador (the people that made Who Wants to be a Millioniare) for over £10million, and its reported that Chris T and himself wanted to do a significant business proposal but that did not happen - so that is at least a plausable link between them.

As for TF, he is a legend but played at a time when £1000 a week was a kings ransom - I am not sure he would have the millions of pounds needed, but his knowledge of football would be invaluable.

However on reflection I think that a buyout from any/all of these 3 is quite unlikely unless they have backing of some kind.

Thye biggest problem (from the supporters' point of view) is that CY paid 81 million pounds for BCFC

Let's be honest it's easily three times more than we were actually worth

Will he be prepared to take a massive loss on the investmnent ??

Considering he faces time behind bars (innocent until proved guilty of course)then he might be forced to


I am starting to worry a wee bit to be perfectly honest.............What hurts the most is that had we stayed in the Premier League (and irrespectrive of whether McJudas still popped over to Aston for some short term employment or not) we would have been a much more attractive proposition for buyers out there

parti i toiled with this for a long time now , did cy borrow or buy bcfc for 80m , why would some one pay double somethings value.

i thought for a while now that the 80m figuire was what he borrowed to buy the blues including money for player investment , cause we did seem to have cash when he took over.

i dunno is it just me but i think 80m sounds unbelievable whoever valued us for that

please remember that cy does not own the club, BIH do, cy only owns 26% of BIH, although he is the one that puts money in like the 7mil in Jan but he got that back wen he sold shares in BIH. The reason why there is no money is because the BIH venture has not worked eg the newspaper is losing big money, if you remember at the last home game he told us that money would be tight due to bcfc working towards the uefa cost model

You bring up a good point there, one ive been saying for a while, who is going to buy a championship club over 3 times its actual value? if CY doesn't sell at a big loss were are stuck in the mire, the only person who would buy Blues is a businessman, what decent businessman is going to do that for 3 times its value? aint going to happen sadly. :(

The Times rich list has a combined wealth of around £40m between jasper and tarrant, so although wealthy, they would need backing of some sort.

Jasper was rumored to be worth around £50m when he sold his celador shares in 2001 but that doesn't stack up now.

Tarrant paid his wife off to the tuje of £15m in their recent divorce, that's how much him playing away cost him!

I think it would be a great combo if they could get some serious backing... I mean lineker did it save Leicester and sold it on, so it's not beyond the realms of serious thinking.

As for the other comments about redundancy and the club being skint I completely believe... I think we will be seeing stories of staff and players not being paid on time very soon.. just my opinion, not based on anything I must add.

the source cannot be named as he fears he could put his job in jeopardy




You omitted the last line from the post on facebook, which for me sums it all up.
