Football money go round

The young ginger lad who wants to buy Rovers has done an interview with the Lancashire Telegraph. The link to it is here. It's clear he's a front man for some kind of bid. The names I've heard that are backing him will make some Rovers fans weep.

Here's his website for his business making houses Gabon, west Africa, here.

There's also a thread discussing it on the Rovers fans site. Strangely, including a contribution from Alan Nixon, the freelance footy hack from Hale who broke the story. You can link to that discussion here.

Still, it could be worse, you could be a Manchester City fan.

Launched on the BBC website this morning…

07:40 – Thaksin targets Eriksson for City
07:41 – Thaksin lodges bid for Man City
07:43 – Thai ex-PM accused of corruption

It could only happen to City. And what's the question the fans want answering? If his assets are frozen, will he still have enough to buy "our" club? Dignity. Certianly makes the Man Yoo anti-Glazer protests look even more righteous.

Im a little confused by that
