CONFRIMED: Latest rumours Confrimed as Unconfrimed

[rabidbee]

Surely any money raised from STs goes into the club and reduces the demand upon Dai to provide funds for the club before the sale?

[Mr Angry]

I am beginning to feel the first stirrings of wanting to go again as a result of this season;

Returning to the back row of of the upper west? Just like the good old days......

Sadly not; I did check out where my old season ticket seats were - GU6 - and they are now part of Club 106, Royals Suite and Premier Suite and so not available to purchase any more.

[Crusader Royal]

Whilst true, I also very much doubt that any catering company knowing the issues with payment Compass have experienced would enter into and happily announce a partnership with the club without some kind of confirmation that the financial situation at the club is about to markedly improve.

That's how I see it as well. .

or the new caterers have used these factors as a way to get a low cost deal they otherwise would not have been able to get due to the rivals backing out.

It's like a recession - for some companies it's great business (Pound shops etc)

I believe Compass paid us, essentially they rent the space and the right to sell from it and then keep the takings. I suspect the real money for them came from the conference centre.

Maybe you could warm up by going to some pre-season matches and shouting "Keep in shape" at them?

[Reading4eva]

I am thinking that the catering is a first step towards the overall recovery at the club. I'm praying it indicates that everything is a little bit closer

Shame. Best seats in the house....

[Sutekh]

apart from Clarke for a bit until he turned into a fcuking judas twat (Fulham ffs)

That must have rankled

tbf I never really rated him as I was always suspicious he might have soiled himself. So actually he would have perfect fit for those bed wetting twats.

You can say that again.

[Chameleon]

That's how I see it as well.

This, plus getting the Season Ticket process started early, are positive steps imo.

Or Dai squeezing out every penny into his pocket while he still can

That's obviously the risk, sure - but it feels as though everyone is a bit too committed now for it to fall over because of something like that.

There may have been an agreement that the ST sales get on early and everyone who purchases before date x a % goes to Dai and anyone who purchases after date x it goes into the club, or he takes a small % of all sales.

Possibly however that would be very odd - usually when Heads of terms are signed the worth of the entity being acquired is effectively frozen - and the final sale price is usually adjusted by the change in net assets in the DD period + any drawings/findings from DD.

Bloody hell, if Simmops is involved we’re well and truly f*cked

I've been told that there could be some good news this week. We might be finally coming to an end to the saga.

I saw you had posted and knowing you are branded with the ITK tag I opened this thread with some trepidation - immensely glad it says good news and not bad!

[Armadillo Roadkill]

The Selles comments in the local news underline just how important it could be to get the new owners fully committed in the next few weeks.

The planning for pre-season and for contracts has already started. Possibly the most important thing the new owners will do is provide the guidance and backing for those plans to be executed, because that will form the basis of our campaign next season.

Then we can start looking forward to the football and spend less time worrying about the legal and financial aspects of changes in club ownership.

What I found encouraging is it sounds like we already have identified free transfer targets to pursue once the takeover is done. Hopefully Elm Park Kid is on the money (he's got a reasonable track record) and we can get our business done early this summer.

Haha, i'm happy it's good news as well.

If it is announced as complete before Saturday, then that will be an amazing way to end a trying campaign. Carefree home game, with potentially close to a 20k crowd. Party time.

"Party time"-we need at least a draw to stop Blackpool's outside chance of making the top 6 and possible promotion which would put paid to our party time fixture away there next season.
So there is an incentive.

[Hound]

EPK definitely one whose information i take notice of, so that’s encouraging

[WestYorksRoyal]

Does this mean we've reached the stage where all representatives are basically agreed and we just need to get Dai involved to sign it off....?

What could possibly go wrong?

The last thing we'd need to end the season with is a Blackpool pitch invasion for getting in the play-offs. Is that even likely if they make it?
