It won't be us, it's a bit too "hush hush" to be a club of our size. Any of the stories linking us with a potentional buyer have always named us pretty much.
I think there's a few clubs you could rule out
Arsenal - that Russian fella is buying more and more stakes in the club
Villa - Lerner's doing such a good job there that it's likely he won't want to sell.
Chelsea - I don't see Ambrovich selling and it's too quiet
Everton - Kenwright wants rid of completely doesn't he? So the 60% probably wouldn't suit him
Liverpool - too quiet and the 60% stake
Man City - can't see them selling yet
Man Utd - I don't think the Glazer's want out just yet and again it's too quiet
Portsmouth - already in the middle of a takeover aren't they?
Sunderland - just been bought by the yank
West Ham - just been bought by some bloke to stop them going into admin, unless that was just to sell instantly to the arab but I doubt it.
So that leaves - Birmingham, Blackburn, Bolton, Burnley, Fulham, Hull, Stoke, Spurs, Wigan, Wolves.
I know Levy wants to sell Spurs and they're a "biggish" club in the capital, so could be a good buy for a man with money. They've got a good crop of players with a manager who seems to get the best out them, with a big investment could finally break the top four.
Hull with their new stadium could interest future investors and again it's a massive city which always attracts players and investors.
Stoke could easily be taken over as well. With their ground, which is a boss ground, and their fan base crammed to the rafters. They just missed out on a top half finish, so with a healthy investment could make the top ten. Although I'm not sure, even with that investment, if the name Stoke City or Tony Pulis could attract big enough names.
Blackburn, have a very well respected manager, by most of Britain, in place but investors will be looking at their lack of fans and should turn away, same goes for Wigan.
Fulham is a good shout. It's in the richest part of England, west London, the other clubs in that region, Chelsea and QPR, have had massive investment in the last few years and maybe Al Faeed has finally realised now is time to sell as the Cottagers are going places and they need big money pumped into them to go that one step further.
As for the promoted teams, I don't Burnley will be bought. After the year they had last season, they would have brought a lot of attention on themselves, but I just don't see them being bought to be honest.
Wolves, have a fantastic stadium and a loyal set of fans, along with bright prospects such as Hennersay, Ebanks-Blake and Keightly. So it could be them but major investors don't seem to have found themselves in the Black Country yet.
Birmingham, they're still my tip.
So I think it's gonna be out of Hull, Spurs, Fulham or Birmingham.
