tidus_mi2 In a game that no one is watching and considering that the tennis balls/pitch invasion last season hasn't exactly led to anything.

What would be the point?


Wait until the Hollywood boys turn up with the media in tow. Then give Netflix plenty of footage that they'll love.


Not sure Netflix will turn up given the Wrexham doc is on Disney+


LOL :mrgreen:

Snowflake Royal Apropos of nothing, some colleagues were doing training on web bases investigations, including the dark web, and the trainer showed them sites where you can hire a hitman. More expensive than I thought it would be... but still only about $200k.

So I'm told.


Wow

Everything's pricier these days isn't it?!

Presumably to ask why the club is still not sold and why it’s obviously still miles off, necessitating the current “firesale”.

Hope they don’t turn it into a witch hunt when he hides behind the NDA excuse and doesn’t say much more than the usual club platitudes that we’ve been getting and will continue to get over the sale.

More to the point, why aren’t the BBC and Chronic getting in his face with the relevant questions?

Seems more like Andy Preston the local Wokingham journo having a dig....apparently he can't get hold of Howe and has been told to contact to contact Pang for an update. Do we even know if Howe is back involved after his ban?

The sale process has been dragging on for far longer than six months,

Many people (rightly IMO) feel he has misled fans as to what has been going on and at best has given them the mushroom treatment. At the same time it is claimed that he recently responded to an email from someone he didn't know from Adam, who had claimed to be an interested buyer, with information regarding the current state of the sale process which had not previously been shared with supporters groups and/or the media.

He hardly covered himself in glory with regard to his involvement in previous sales of the club.

He has defended Dai's record as a committed owner - one moment claiming he had spent £200M of his money on the club and then a little bit later claiming £400M (ignoring the fact that whatever the figure was, it helped get us in the shyte that we are now in).

He claims that he should be regarded as some sort of saviour of the club.

As for nearly getting a deal over the line (and no one aside from those directly involved, knows the exact detail of where it was and what happened), it could be said that he got a clear shot on goal only to blast over the bar.

Even if all of the above can be discounted he is now staying put in a position whereby he is understandably being regarded by many as guilty through association.

As for SBWD's latest billboard targeting Howe, that appeared before Andy Preston claimed that Howe was refusing to speak to the media and was telling them to contact Pang.

He is back. He introduced some potential new buyers in mid January.

As Martin Lewis says, shop around and check out alternative suppliers. Maybe hire a hitwoman instead - assuming the gender pay gap is a think in the world of John Wick and the Jackal, you could save a few quid.

In defence of Nigel Howe, He's working for Dai Yongge to sell the club, he perhaps has to talk up Dai Yongge is in order to keep him on side, maybe persuade him it's the best thing to do.
Rather Nigel Howe look to sell it than someone like super agent advisor Kia.

This should be a pretty obvious point Forbes, but sadly needs saying regularly.

The people involved who speak to us, Hunt, Howe, Bowen previously, have to speak through a layer of professionalism, and they simply can't be completely open and transparent, can't give us all the details and can't say what they really think, they're in a restrictive role, with limitations on them.

Any of them coming and and telling us the whole unvarnished truth and their real opinion is simply guaranteeing they get booted from the role/process.

Speaking as someone whose just had to sign an NDA and a Clean Team agreement this morning in relation to a similar (Non Reading-FC related) process, I don't even think I can say what it is without being fired and sued.

Speaking as someone who has signed literally hundreds of NDAs, I can confirm that that’s what they are supposed to achieve, Forbes.

If an organisation has a will and desire to communicate with its stakeholders it might surprise some to know just how much can be communicated without breaching NDAs. I speak from experience having been closely involved in the sale of four companies, two of which sold for considerably more than even Dai would have the cheek to ask for.

You clearly only provide headline info and don't go into detail and/or do things like naming parties involved, prices etc. You tell people what you can and explain why you can't tell them other things. In my experience, people understand and are accept that. They also appreciate being told what they can be made aware of.

Also, in my experience, the acquiring party are usually happy to agree with such communications as they realise the importance of keeping stakeholders on side.

The difference is, IMO, that none of those involved in the sale of our club have the will and desire to communicate with stakeholders.
