CONFRIMED: Latest rumours Confrimed as Unconfrimed

[Snowflake Royal]

Interesting that someone at the club seems to have leaked this, if he's gone a year with nothing leaking it's unlikely his end, but nothing is leaking about the current 'exclusives'

Never underestimate the dark arts of doing business….
I don’t know where the leak is from but just wonder who might benefit most from the interest being made public ?

Dellor just laughed off the Smee bid on the radio as something "you or I could have done"

Go then Tim, you and Ady make a bid

Meanwhile he knows nothing of the current bid supposedly being discussed.

Presume he must have talked to Roger about his offer then to be able to laugh it off.

[Elm Park Kid]

My understanding is that the Smee bid was never credible.

But then, no one knows how Dai will react to any bid so at this point so it's all guesswork.

But do you have any understanding of if a bid is definitely under exclusivity?

Hello. No. My name is Yai Dongge

Exactly
The feckless f*** has absolutely no intention of selling.

[Carnabyswhiskers]

This feels like a case of Munchausen by proxy, with Dai as the patient and us as the child victim. Where that diagnosis leads us, however, is anyone's guess, given the incapacity of any authority to intervene on our behalf. Social Services?

[Mr Angry]

I am assuming that all the tax and salary commitments due late November have been met (otherwise there would have been an extra 5 pages on here!).

So SOMEBODY is paying the bills...........

By ‘credible’ what are we talking about ? Not a high enough bid to tempt Dai ?
Smee is almost certainly going to have a more credible offer than some that we’ve seen but I’d expect it to be pretty pragmatic rather than high value. I’d expect it to be a lowish up front bid with extras depending on how the club progresses.

I read Michael Olise is picking up the tab (may have misunderstood this though)

The Sun claiming that Couhig is now suing Dai for £10.3m.

Let’s hope something good comes out of it. Poor old Dai, he seems to pick up writs on an hourly basis.

[WestYorksRoyal]

My gut says if nothing is signed, Couhig has no case. But he's the one with a distinguished law career. Plus some sort of agreement may have been signed and reneged upon for all i know.

If it is being settled in courts, you're talking months and years. Makes me think it's Couhig trying to force Dai to sell. Out of court settlement will hopefully see the club sold
