Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

According to Howe a deal is a long way off. Yet again we get our hopes up for nothing. https://twitter.com/RFCLatest But exclusivity must therefore be close. It's only the first step and there is plenty of process to go through after this point. So this contravenes nothing James Earnshaw has report...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Earnshaw is the only one who can be trusted. You'd think the ITKs would have learned by now that Dai is unpredictable and whatever their contacts have heard, it means next to nothing. The ITKs on Twitter are oxf*rd laughable. I have not seen most of them post anything before. Some now claiming ther...

Stranded Earnshaw tweeting that there are no meetings today, understands the offers are just with Dai and his people to make a decision.

So don't hold your breath.


Where?

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

But were they criticising him for spending lots of money, or for not spending it well enough? Because if it is the latter, that is still part of the problem. How do Forest fans perceive their owners? They're the closest scenario to Dai's insane spending bringing success to me, and I'd say they look...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Latest rumour of that there twitter is that Zygi and Mark Wilf - owners of the Minnesota Vikings were one of the 3 bidders. They want to follow the 49ers into owning an English Club (Niners own, or have large stake in Leeds) but also wanted to convert part of Bearwood into a facility for NFL teams ...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I would agree with this approach, but you will get a counter argument that it stops ambitious owners investing which would favour the big clubs. And it would make it harder to crash the top table, but not impossible. And I'd say it's a price worth paying. Also, I support Reading. If I wanted to sup...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

You can go over what has got us here again and again, but bare minimum regulation is a backstop against where we are now. Stop paying wages, HMRC or football creditors? After too many offences, the regulator gets involved and uses funds from the industry to meet commitments (perhaps from a transfer...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

People would be hailing Dai as brilliant if he had spent £200m, got us promoted to the PL, not fallen foul of FFP. But the system isn't sustainable if the difference between judging something successful or a failure comes down to whether or not you pull off a massive gamble. You can't build a susta...

Next tie Dai Yongge wants to get involved with football he can give me £200m and I'll teach him how to play FIFA or Football Manager The training ground investment was the only sound advice he was given, Could have worked out alot differently if he'd appointed a CEO with the right experience at thi...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

On the training ground point, didn't Wycombe initially express an interest around November? Which is about the same time Dai moved the goalposts on Genevra. Contrary to trying to save us, is it their owner's fault that this ordeal isn't all over already? We could have Abbey tied down for a 3 year co...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Isn't this pissing in the wind a bit by STAR? As I see it, we're rescued or fcuked and raising amounts in the £10ks will barely make a difference. Am I missing a nuance or middle ground? Perhaps that this is the difference between 2 points or not even if a takeover happens?

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

Akande played one game on my FM24 save due to an injury crisis and scored a hat trick. Didn't play him again though, his stats were rubbish and my coach said he was a non league player.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

From Despair To Where? And it's only cost him circa £200m. Done very well for himself.

Plus what he paid in 2017 - don't have the figure to hand.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

It's been painful, but if Dai can get over £30m or so I'll have to grudgingly admit he's done well for himself by being such a difficult bastard. I think Kieran Maguire suggested we're worth about £20m.

WYR, I reckon you’ll be having a street party if/when the takeover happens. Won't we all? I literally thought we were going to extinct last week.
