Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Exactly funny how this has happened to swiftly but cant sell the club :roll: It's sort of obvious though. A club comes with loads of outgoings, stadium rent, staff costs, players wages. A training ground facility doesnt come with those things. Much easier to sell because a lot less due diligence ne...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

So now it is has been shown that the planning consent granted was personal to RFC for the purposes outlined in the planning application. Does that mean WWFC would have to make an application for a variation to that consent before they could use it? That could seriously delay any sale and the counci...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Didn't someone far more knowledgeable than me go into details why Dai can't sell assets, take the cash and then go inside administration? Basically, any creditor who didn't get their debts back in full would have been defrauded. But then insolvency doesn't make sense as the £22m is greater than the...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

Find it hard to believe any Wycombe supporter would be against a great deal for their club (on paper). Our issues aren't their issues. Exactly why it’s great PR if they do get some to turn up Let’s face it it’s desperation time - I can’t think of anything we can actually do to help, but again not g...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

One consequence is that the asking price for the club must have dropped massively, but would anyone still want to buy? There is nothing stopping a potential owner developing the training facility next to the stadium. If they managed to buy the club on the cheap you'd think they'd be room for invest...

Re: Could Reading Fans buy Bearwood?

Sutekh Presumably now this sale has effectively saved the club by giving time to complete the overall sale of the club and banishes the fear of not existing in the summer?


It depends on whether the money is going to the club, or to Dai.

If it's Dai then it's probably game over.

Re: Best/Worst Pundit

Dare I say, Keys made a decent point (although it coming from him is a bit hilarious). Pundits are becoming way too matey and banter-y nowadays. It also risks comments like Carragher's that cross a line. I find all the japery a bit cringeworthy. Give me interesting analysis, not pub banter between ...

Ascotexgunner We have Reading City as non League.
Got a nice little ground

Have they done it up?

I went there in the Highmoor Ibis days, and it was a grotty dump without a single redeeming feature.

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

We're chicken feed in the grand scheme of things. Dai clearly doesn't give a toss and the embassy/Chinese government won't either, not when he's got bigger and more serious charges hanging over his head back in China. If they want to pressurise him, they'll pressurise him for that, not what he's do...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

What I don't understand about this £1m shortfall is the following: Why does it magically stop becoming a problem next month? We knew Dai's commitment to the club at the start of the season, why didn't we budget better? How in the world can we be £1m short this month? I was under the impression we h...

Re: The phoenix club thread

Looking at AFC Wimbledon's rise, they had an insane multi season run of 78 games unbeaten as they won back to back titles. Not sure how fun that sounds; you need jeopardy and a sense of achievement. You'd just want to get through the 7th, 8th and 9th tiers as quickly as possible. After the last few...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

For the record AFC Wimbledon started with 3,500. So 4k home seems a reasonable optimistic expectation. It's difficult. We have a lot more fans than Wimbledon. We had more fans even in the Elm Park days. We should be capable of getting significantly bigger crowds than they did, or any other pheonix ...

Depends where a space can be conveniently found with least "disruption" so it would likely be tier 9/10. Bury and Macclesfield both started at Tier 9 (NWCLPremier) Bury started at 10, because they were playing outside their town, and had a few more question marks against them than Maccles...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

WestYorksRoyal AFC Wimbledon are the benchmark, and their attendances are at a similar level to the original club.

They had a decent ground to play in from the outset, which helps massively.

Clubs that have to genuinely start from scratch find it much harder.
