Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

If the potential new owners have loaned the club say to £2m to cover costs until the end of the season could they put us into administration if Dai changes his mind and can’t afford to pay them back?

Re: Have your go at being ITK

The Baltimore Ravens owner, Steve Bisciotti will be one of our new owners. I am not too happy as I support the Bengals who also play in the AFC North. It would have been worse if it had been the Steelers scum owner.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Exclusivity it is, but there are still further negotiations to get it over the line, wouldn`t put it past Dai to move the goal posts again. I am hoping that now he understands he can’t sell the training ground separately he’ll stop messing around. If Howe has done a lot of work upfront this might g...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Stranded Proposed deal includes the club, stadium and Bearwood.

Now on to figuring out who it is - Generva, the Wilf Brothers or someone else entirely.


It’ll be just our luck that he’s used us as collateral at his casino or he’s selling us to a family member.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

The last 2 tweets from the club have been another reminder about the mini season tickets, along with the fan store being open over Easter. I appreciate this is just marketing, but it’s the usual rinse repeat comms/process whenever we’re supposedly close to exclusivity. I am just waiting for the tal...

Re: Have your go at being ITK

I am hearing that Dai wants to convert the SCL into a dog racing track and a speedway stadium. Also , he’s planning to build a mini Las Vegas on the land around the stadium as he wants his own casino.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I really appreciate what SCL and other sponsors have done this year, but it does allow more procrastination. 7 days ago, my working assumption was we'd either have exclusivity and funding, or we'd be in arrears with HMRC which would mean 2 points deducted and a step closer to the endgame. Turns out...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Earnshaw is back from his holiday tomorrow so it’ll be interesting to see if he has any further updates about the pretend takeover.

On another note, I see over £1,300 has been raised for the Ruben flag, so we might get to see that for the last two home games.

Re: Have your go at being ITK

No exclusivity announcement and the season will end with confirmation that takeover talks have collapsed. Whether we can start the 2024/25 season will become a hot topic on HNA.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I hope more than anything I am wrong, but I think we’ll get to 2 April with no news. The club will go silent apart from the usual tweets from admin and in the middle of April news will slowly filter out confirming that takeover talks have collapsed. I don’t trust Dai to sell the club.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Being owned by anyone other than Dai can only be a good thing; obviously, if we get bought by someone (or some organisation) and they continually fail to pay HMRC, pay bills or pay wages, who look to asset strip the club of its value and take us to the very brink of extinction, then maybe we can sa...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

As short term as it may be, I think we are mostly all on the same page - if whatever group comes in passes the low bar tests and then just keeps us ticking over and invests, wisely, in the team/club then fine. The alternative doesn't really bare thinking about. If you speak to Wigan fans, Al Hammad...

blythspartan The club are plugging the mini season tickets again so it doesn’t bode well.


Err - it would be a massively dysfunctional marketing department if you create an offer and publisize it once and only once. It means nothing beyond marketing.


Yep agree, I am being a Pratt.
