CONFRIMED: Latest rumours Confrimed as Unconfrimed

[Snowflake Royal]

No sign of Couhig at the purple turtle then. Huang Kad misses the mark again.

That's because it's a nobber piss take account that stole my joke.

Not wanting to go all 3-2-1 but...

The poster advertising the 3rd kit is titled "One More Night" - could this be referring to the fact that after the Purple Turtle event there is only one more night to wait until the takeover is announced? What else could it be referring to?

Isn’t “One More Night” one of Only The Poets songs? They were the band at the PT.

Yes, it is.
Also one more night until the season starts?

And one more night until we can buy the 3rd kit?

Something we`ve heard umpteen times before.

Think this is the team Chiron owns?

Venezia are certainly featured on the Chiron website alongside us.
Would be a dream preseason friendly….

Venezia's ground is an absolute dump though. Unless they've done work to it of late, it had one tiny old stand, and three sides of Gillingham style temporary seats on scaffolding.

They do seem to have plans for a new ground though.

Will there/won't there be any confirmation this week? I'm going for Saturday just before kick off v Wigan.

Watching for a press conference announcement, in the meantime though, to be officially introduced to Rob and Joe.

[Royalwaster]

Can someone change the title of this thread - it's really not funny?!

[windermereROYAL]

Every time I see a new post on this thread my hopes rise, only to be bitterly disappointed yet again.
When will this shit show ever end?

I always thought it could be this week to boost the gate of the first home game and overall morale around the place....I think if it doesn't happen this week the club need to update everyone.

Jobi said on Sky that at some point the players won't simply be able to focus on the pitch if it keeps dragging on.

They have put in a great effort, but it's with the motivation that a buyer will come in and then they can push on. If they start doubting that and worrying about payday again, I'm not convenient they have it in them to replicate last year's effort again.

At some point it needs to stop being close and just get done. That time was 6 weeks ago tbh.

To give an update from what I've heard from my usually reliable source.

There was every hope that the deal would go through last week and it could be announced at the season ticket party. Pretty much all of the 'work' has been done and all the necessary sign offs have been received - but there is one key aspect of the deal that is still being negotiated. I'm told that everything is still all very positive, a matter of when not if, but obviously until the paperwork is signed nothing is guaranteed. No indication of when the deadlock will be broken - maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe another week. I assume (this is my own speculation, not source) that Dai doesn't care right now as the club will have funds available to pay bills until the autumn. So he's holding out for the 'best' deal.

Cheers for the update. A good buddy told me last week that there’s a slight stumbling block, but it’s being worked through. If Dai is the issue I just hope he doesn’t oxf*rd it up again.

I read something on Twitter last week that sounded stupid but given the above posts could be plausible....

Dai is attempting to negotiate a dividend on any academy sales for the next 2 years, given his investment in it...

"Earn out" clauses that allow the seller to get their share in the profits for several years afterwards are common in M&A, basically a way of knocking down the day 1 price and making the seller put the money where their mouth is that this business they're selling is as great as they say.

If Dai perceives that the up front price for the club is low, this is an obvious way to try and claw it back; we all know our academy is the real deal. Whether Couhig, ourselves or any other observer would agree with Dai's perception on the price is another matter, but that's just how these things work. It's exactly the sort of T&Cs that could slow down a deal.
