I’ve heard on the grapevine that Gareth Bale has enquired on a minority stake in the club.
Probably bollocks but wondered if anyone had heard the same?

I know the sell on fee thing is a joke but I know for certain the contract to cardiff last year was 100% drawn up and truthful.Quote:

I’d still have him on the pitch.
Wouldn't be picked - not defensive enough.Quote:

What’s his estimated worth? Does he have enough money to waste in football.
I saw him yesterday coming out of Greggs in leckwith and he had his cheque book in his hand (had a steak bake in case you’re wondering)
How did you know it was a steak bake?Quote:

He’d be mad to bother with it, what’s the club really worth? £50 million? Tan wants 100….its never going to happen. Keep your money Gareth less you have a £100 million in spare changeQuote:

I don't think this is a goer but I'd love it if it was.
We need something.
Are you having a fecking laugh..How many movies has he made? He's not even been in a soap let alone a long running comedy show.
How to become a millionaire? Be a billionaire and buy a football club. Boom boom. I don't believe this Bale rumour for a second.
Nice to have another rumour mill now the transfer window is shut. I've heard John Oster's thinking of investing. (Source: the voices that come to me in the night).
Can’t see Tan relinquishing a minority share to anyone.
Nah I heard he was buying Howell's with Dirk KuytQuote:

He will never attract a manager capable of getting us up, Warnock was just a miracle but like Leicester winning the league, therefore he will never get the ridiculous amount he thinks he’s owed.
Tan would continue to want an involvement in football matters, not just be a silent partner whatever his shareholding. Unlike the Glazers I can't see Tan relinquishing too many decisions to someone with a 25% share.Quote:

No offence but this is a playground rumour.
I don’t dispute there was a playing contract being discussed but the idea bale would waste his money coming here in any other capacity under the current regime is laughable
The media dept had already started working on the announcement stuffQuote:

The buzz around the club when he was announced was worth it, that goal at Leicester will live long in the memory as wellQuote:
