SouthDownsRoyal The notion that dai wants lots of strings attached IF we get back to the prem etc he gets X% back does sound a plausible to a point but How many months has this been dragging on for?
And only now dai realised couhig isn’t a multi billionaire or wealthy Hollywood celeb Ready to spend whatever it takes to get RFC into the champions league?
Wasn't there a Saudi/US consortium offering more money than Couhig? They sound more likely to bet big on promotion like Dai. It was probably different stakeholders with different expectations.
Howe mentioned senior club members interviewed potential buyers, and they probably felt that Couhig had the experience to bring the stability we needed plus we was well liked at Wycombe. And was always going to get through the EFL checks. So he was put forward to Dai, but there was an expectations gap.
Dai wanted someone who could promise big bucks and ambitious. Of course he is wrong; he'll probably get a guy who can talk a good game who the EFL are skeptical on and who may be capable of spending big money but are more likely to have their pants pulled down by agents than take us back up the leagues. Seriously ambitious, competent people are likely to be put off by Dai's conduct and asking price.
The club want a steady pair of hands, but Dai wants to sell to another gambler.
Why didn't Couhig just lie to Dai? Say we'll be Premier League in 3 years.
