Was exclusivity officially extended?
Before I left for my holiday there were two contrasting stories floating around. One was that Dai would make a decision within the next 24 hours and one was that exclusivity would be extended. It’s payday on Friday so that might tell us more.
Go anywhere nice?
I am in Taranaki, New Plymouth until the end of July.
It’s great to see that the usual progress has been made with the takeover. If we stand to make some money on Olise’s transfer I can see Dai wanting any money we receive to be added to the asking price. Let’s hope the wages are paid tomorrow.
If I had to guess why the deal is not complete, short or rumours around investors pulling out etc., a potential Olise windfall this summer has to be near the top of the list. There is potentially £5m+ coming into the club if reports are to be believed which will surely affect its value.
Of course all sell on clauses will have been known about prior to exclusivity, but there's a difference between their value in abstract and their value when there is a rumoured bidding war between some of Europe's biggest clubs coming up this summer.
