If the takeover didn't happen in 2008?

[Didsbury Dave]

Probably another Everton/Newcastle/Villa/West Ham.

Worst case scenario Leeds or Sunderland.

 

[Stephen230]

Probably be owned by some rich, dodgy Yank by now, like half the rest of the league and all be members of Amnesty International like the fans of all those clubs seem to be.

 

[A57 the snake]

Probably with our mates at most if not every away game. Fine balance though with success there is a price .

Can you imagine if the takeover didn’t happen in 2008?

I wonder where we would be?

It's been 15 wonderful years.

The club would likely no longer exist.

 

[Daz_Blue]

Ray Ranson would be hiring his 12th manager

 

[Grassland Blue]

The club would likely no longer exist.

Rag!

Our success has made zero difference , i supported the club through the barren years , in fact i went to far more games in the 80's & 90's than anytime since i started going to Maine Rd in 1966.
If the 115 charges meant we start again in the Vanarama i will be there with the other thirty odd thousand blues looking forward to the fixtures coming out and looking forward to another derby game against Macclefield Town , leave the glory hunting to the Rags.

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

Mid table Prem.

West Ham to Fulham level.

Maybe have a worldie season and be a Brighton.

Especially if we’d bought another few rough diamonds.

 

[Debaser]

We'd have had a couple of seasons under fat Sam, likely be part of that horrific English manager go round of the last decade+ with pardew, pulis, Roy all sniffing around. Foden would be sold to generate money to waste on shite

 

[cheekybids]

We’d be everyone’s second favourite club described as a sleeping giant with incredible support, probably averaging 44k a week.
