Snowflake Royal The next month is going to be super boring isn’t it.

Nothing to play for other than pride and momentum to take into next season in the remaining two games.

Contract negotiations and releases likely mostly on hold for the takeover. Blackout on takeover info until its done or falls through.

Speculation on new signings pointless until the takeover goes through, or if it doesn’t.

Hard to get too interested in ups and downs while we wait to see if we have a club.


I agree IR.

With regards to the takeover I am hoping that Howe did so much legwork to get to exclusivity that it’ll be completed sooner rather than later. Going with almost a full glass I reckon it’ll be by 26 April.


Please let this happen today or tomorrow.

So the charge is for 240M shares at 50p. I'm no expert , so does that mean its costing £120M?

That's their nominal value, which reflects what Dai originally put into the club when they were issued. It doesn't reflect their market value, which is substantially less than 50p per share.

These things are complicated and take time, but if I was in Chiron's position I would be breaking my back to try and get it done by tomorrow's game so I can introduce myself to the staff, players and fans before everyone goes away for the off season. Would boost all contract renewal discussions and let us start recruiting immediately.

Stranded So, and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong,

Redwood have lead money and Dai's shares in the club are the collateral - so if the deal falls through and Dai/the club default on repayments of that loan, Redwood can claim the shares as repayment? Therefore essentially getting the club for nothing.

If that's correct, then suggests it is basically done then doesn't it?

I think it's the point of no return. This seems to be like a mortgage now - Dai still owns the club, but if he falls behind on repayment of the loan the Redwood get all of Dai's shares. You wouldn't enter into a binding agreement like that unless the deal is happening.

Certainly bodes well that after a month of paying accountants and legal firms to undertake detailed due diligence, they're still willing to lend money. They haven't found anything to put them off.

Add in the leverage the charges give them over Dai, I think we're at the stage where it's very likely.

Hopefully this is the "good news" Elm Park Kid was referring to earlier in the week

Definitely rate that under spouts as much clickbait nonsense as possible, so thoroughly unreliable.

If they do that on day 1, I'm creating Sell Before We Have Nobody to Cheer-on.

He’ll be just scouting for someone I’d imagine.

If we get to 20th May with no more significant news, then might be time to get a bit nervous.
