@DGMGH001: It’s nice to see all these names looking to buy us and whoever lastly will get the deal will make a giant distinction. If JT is the one I hope he sticks to proudly owning the membership and never interfering with managing the membership. Personal the membership, carry some names in, give us funds to get us out L2!

@RyanMann15: I stated on Friday the gamers and administration appeared very blissful and all collectively they should have had the information just a few days beforehand, that is large preserve the backbone of this workforce collectively together with just a few new additions and we might be cooking subsequent season, will put bums on seats #colu

All the time stated If I ever noticed this membership having the chance to turn into extra, I might welcome it. Up the fucking U’s Jon 🔵⚪️

@EagleEyedColU: On a severe be aware, that is fascinating. The Solar report appears assured it’s going to occur. An insider states he could have “important affect” on the membership. Does he take up a sporting director/director of soccer function? Don’t you dare contact the Cowleys! #ColU

@OfficialUpTheUs: If true, how a lot of a pull would he carry, you’ll guess perhaps some youngest from Chelsea on mortgage perhaps

@EagleEyedColU: Could possibly be necessary. Apparent hyperlinks to Chelsea who’ve a superb academy in addition to quite a few ex gamers within the recreation as coaches. The comparability to Reynolds/Wrexham and Snoop/Swansa a little bit of an exaggeration by The Solar (shock) however within the footballing world it is going to get eyes on us

@OfficialUpTheUs: Yeah my solely concern is all this has come from the solar, not saying it’s not true however they like a narrative!
