Not a direct EFC rumour, but connected to previous posts relating to Red Bull.
The tabloids are reporting that Red Bull may now be making a 60 million bid to take control at Leeds Utd, so it doesn't look like they want us.

It would have cost them a fair penny more than 60 mill to buy efc. Part of our problem when any prospective buyer is looking at english clubs to take over. Stadium doesn't help our cause either, but the buyer wants to buy a club cheap and invest their money to make the team better, with efc already a partially well set up organisation with good players to attribute towards the value of the club, it's difficult for us to be sold to prospective buyers, particularly when the sellers (kenwright and the other shareholders on the board) want a return on their investment. Added to this our chairman wanting the right buyer to purchase us, and already being a shrewd person not wanting to take much risk on the sale due to the club he owns is the club he supports. With this in mind, until we have a nice new stadium with a good source of income, we will always be overlooked by the buyers.
