WestYorksRoyalSouthDownsRoyal I guess to be fair to Howe he needs to keep his end up, it’s his job (?!) to oversee the sale of the club and he is dealing with an idiot MIA owner so he needs to keep up with the line that it’s all ready to go (a bit like an oven ready brexit deal ) to try and attract some other interest
But we all know (and surely he does too) that in reality there is (probably) no other interest and we’re in a dark place
Also anyone who may have some interest must surely be completely put off seeing how deals keep falling through and acquiring us from the outside looking in must seem a thankless task
The nature of the egos involved in football means many will fancy themselves to be the one to break the deadlock.

blythspartan Sadly, I think we just have to hope that Dai does want to sell the club as there is sweet FA we can do about it. Interestingly, in one of Howe’s interviews I read he said we were a week away from administration. Does that mean Dai would actually put us into administration as opposed to liquidating the club? Who knows, but I guess that way he’d keep the stadium and training ground.

I think it more likely that Howe has a poor handle on the difference between administration and liquidation.

Sutekh Isn’t this the third time he’s pulled the plug? Wasn’t there one last winter then one late spring before this?
At what point does it start getting to where others should step in “on his behalf”?

IIRC, there were multiple bidders in the winter, but only one got to the point of exclusively - which ended in late spring. I don't know if it was made public why it collapsed or who caused it to break down.
By my count, this would be the second time a serious takeover bid has fallen through, unless we count the Storey one as a serious bid.

Genevra on the brink of exclusivity last autumn, he moved the goalposts. Exclusivity round 1 in spring with Chiron fell through and we don't know why. Now this. We've got close 3 times, inching ever closer each time.
Next time Dai signs but the fax machine is conveniently broken.

Snowflake Royal So far Dai has torpedoed deals with:
Genevra
Loitz
Chiron
Couhig and Redwood.
It is never happening, we're a dead club walking and groaning like a zombie.

Remember, Howe says Dai is still committed to selling the club

Brogue i managed to speak to my contact for the first time in a while. what he said is Dai want's to sell to someone who will want to take us to the next level, to pump money into the club keep the academy, and take us to the premier league. like he wanted to do. He was getting fed up with couhigs meddling behind the scenes and his vision for the club which was to run it on a shoestring. Dai has written into the contracts that he will continue to receive payouts, bonuses if you will. depending on club performances. ie if we get to the PL he will receive x. It was becoming more and more apparent that couhigs vision for the club made it very hard for Dai to see us getting there in the timeframe he wants. He wanted assurances from couhig that he was going to invest in the club and not just strip the club right down and look to sell for a profit in a couple of years, whilst still being a mid table team in league 1. Couhig would not give dai the assurances, so he pulled out. He wants an investor to come in with a vision of getting the club to the PL.

He also said despite what people think he genuinely want the best for the club he is committed to selling but wants to sell to the right person. Not someone who is going to come in paint some walls do some decorating knock down a few internal wall make the place open plan and flip the club for a few quid in profit in a couple of years.
