WestYorksRoyal The big question is who with. I expect a journo will report in the next few days.


I expect so, there will be no official confirmation as the EFL rules don't allow it but I would imagine one of the local journos will get a name in the neat future.

Wording suggest the process could take up to 2 monts - so end of May, which is fine, but be amazing if this can get closed out by the last home game.

If previous reports have been accurate (US/Saudi out a few weeks ago, Genevra now), and no new bidders have entered if's the Wilf brothers, which is an amazing outcome. They already own an NWSL and NFL side and have been sensible with spending.

Stranded Proposed deal includes the club, stadium and Bearwood.

Now on to figuring out who it is - Generva, the Wilf Brothers or someone else entirely.


It’ll be just our luck that he’s used us as collateral at his casino or he’s selling us to a family member.

And the ITK accounts are back on Twitter.

A couple confirming it is 100% Generva whilst Jamie Hodder says he has been told it isn't them. :lol:

Stranded WE HAVE EXCLUSIVITY.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. I repeat THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

Amazing. Lots of distance to run, Dai is a cnut, all the usual disclaimers. But this is bloody excellent news!

Especially that the training ground is part of the package, that is a big commitment, especially in League One.


It's great news that the training ground is included, the costs of running it can be trimmed by cutting back the academy if they have to.

Exclusivity it is, but there are still further negotiations to get it over the line, wouldn`t put it past Dai to move the goal posts again.

It's a Welsh consortium led by St Pauli

I am hoping that now he understands he can’t sell the training ground separately he’ll stop messing around. If Howe has done a lot of work upfront this might get approved quicker than we think.

Zammo Hearing not Generva


The three bids I believe were:

    Genevra Associates
    Sports.com
    Zygi, Mark & Leonard Wilf (owners of Minnesota Vikings, Nashville SC and Orlando City SC)

so take your pick. Worried that the new owners might know something about sport :?

Imagine how shit it will feel if it doesn't happen now. The day I thought we were selling Bearwood is the low point to date, but this would top it.
