Confimred new owners of Raeding Footbal Club

[gazzer, loyal royal]

could just be manny pacquiao in all fairness

[mumbo-jumbo]

How many others feel decidedly underwhelmed and rather uneasy about this whole thing? So this tiny litleThai chap ( sizeist but never racist ) is our new saviour apparently. Very odd the club haven't yet made any sort of statement and yet have somehow 'leaked' this photo - are they giving us all time to adjust slowly to the concept, by releasing snippets at a time? I guess they're once bitten twice shy too, but this is all being handled very oddly if all is well and above board

Yep and LOL that the downmarket rag the evening post are getting all the scoops - the Chronicle must be kicking themselves over the hooliganism gaff.

[Todd Margaret]

If we're to believe the rumors,it's not only this billionaire but a consortium of billionaires involved. Exactly how many billions and billionaires will it require to make the HNA crowd truly happy?

Maybe they are waiting till they can announce the gylfi signing aswell

[Norfolk Royal]

This could be seen by some as confirmation

I thought normally confirmation was more often displayed by the laying on of hands and prayer.

Still surprised nobody is asking why the bloke from BetVictor is at this meeting.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Why wouldn't he be there?

[CholseyRoyal]

Why are several papers and reports including the Chronicle, now back to saying it is only an exclusivity deal that has been signed? Are they waiting for the FLs approval?

Didn't Tim Dellor say that an above type deal was only valid until tomorrow?

How do you know it was RFC that leaked the photo and not someone from the buyers side? The photo looks like it was taken on a phone so I think it is unlikely that it would have been taken by RFC.

Their stories are based on research of anything published last week ....

We've all heard that a billion billionaires taking over a billion clubs will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare...... or something like that.

lol

The photo has been 'leaked' so that fans feel that they have some idea of what is going on. The club won't want to make any official announcement until all the i's are dotted, t's are crossed, and photos/statements have been spruced up. This is arguably the biggest PR moment the club has had to through in it's history...so it's pretty important that they get it bang on.

Not everything is a conspiracy.

[Pepe the Horseman]

^^^ obvs in cahoots with RFC.

[Libertine]

On a side note it makes me wonder how many more "unknown and undiscovered" billionaires there are in the world.
