Buyer is from Hong Kong according to Kieran Maguire on BBCRB this morning. He's "not confident" of it going through after "speaking to some senior people in football."

If true then Dai is once again wasting time the club doesn't have.

Waiting this to drag on, have no news no updates and then fall apart before being told by the club we have lots of interested parties waiting in the wings again before another prospective owner steps forward

I wonder if he’s just going off the rumour started on BBCRB after the Bolton game? I think even the person who started it has now done a u turn. I am hoping that Brogue is correct.

Benny kwong owner of that blue something or other, confirmed over LinkedIn the Hong Kong rumours are false. They are not in the running.

If only Ron Noades was still with us, we'd have both bases covered.

Kieran or the buyer isn't confident of it going through?

I assume Kieran, in which case no shit sherlock.

If we do get a new manager I for one hope it's Brian Cant as he certainly knew how to Play Away (one for the older viewers there!)

Wouldn’t blame him.for going, at all.

Probably best to avoid any chartered flights to get there though.

No, i'm just speculating given the Cardiff news and exclusivity.

You can't really be 'ITK' when the guy making the decisions doesn't share his thinking with anyone at the club. I'm just hearing the same stories about legitimate, solid (not HK) potential buyers and deals that are basically already done. If this wasn't the third time I would get excited - but who the oxf*rd knows if Dai will move forward with them or not.

Can't help but feel that someone writes a half sentence on a social site, a bot picks it up and uses chatGPT to flesh out an 'article' on it (which is mostly just fluff and rewording, to make it sound like they're ITK). Then other bots pick it up and do the same. In that fleshing-out process, the wording becomes a bit vague and certain details are hinted at, that weren't ever in the initial comment. Eventually, we have what looks like a fully fledged takeover ready to go, when in reality, Bob Jenkins was overheard telling Shaun Smith at the Shoulder of Mutton, that his mate at the club had seen someone he didn't recognise walking into the chairman's office. 2024, what a time to be alive, huh?

Just goes to prove that the internet is just a load of bots, and bots usually produce a load of ****
