CONFRIMED: Latest rumours Confrimed as Unconfrimed

[Snowflake Royal]

As mentioned by WYR earlier, I just hope there’s some news about exclusivity by the end of the month. I am hoping we’re down to one interested, viable party and a deal can be made soon.

If we haven’t got new owners before the season ends, I can’t see us starting the 24/25 season.

I don't think we need new owners by end of season but the process of changing hands needs to be well underway or, if not, Dai needs to have changed his outlook on running the club and actually ensure it remains financed throughout the summer to allow recruitement/contracts.

But overall, if there is no exclusivity in place by the end of the season, we will be in a very bad place. This is the absolute latest of course, would hope it is place by end of month.

I expect Dai's hand to be forced by the FL before the end of the season.

We'd survive in that scenario which is the priority, but we would move backwards on the pitch. No chance to extend contracts and recruit well with uncertainty dragging into July and August.

It would seem pretty on brand for us to end up surviving relegation fairly comfortably only to be liquidated in July / August.

It's a bit odd these reports that Dai is surprised the club is now worth less after it sold sold off some of the assets which would have been included within the sale.... that's like selling a car dealership with 20 cars on the forecourt and then wondering why the price has dropped when you sell 5 cars and only have 15 included in the deal?

I do suspect that buyers are stringing it out because every month they don't own the club is another month they don't have to plough any money into it, Let the current owner keep it chugging along and they'll get more desperate to sell as well. Say if Dai is having to put £1m a month in, he might agree a £5m cut to buy now instead of in 10 months time as he'll save £10m and only lose an extra £5m.

This is why they need multiple interested parties, even if there's no chance of selling to them because it gets everyone wanting to move faster and beat the competition

He's utterly clueless and has no business sense. No surprise there really. No communist corruption to help him here I'm afraid.

[windermereROYAL]

Really don`t know where these £30m stories are coming from, certainly not from Dai is it?
Just baseless rumours people are spreading IMO.

Nothing's from Dai. The pcunt's too busy hiding in a casino.

He's an absolute clueless bellend of the highest order. Utterly utterly dimwitted cvnt, pathologically so. No business sense or even common sense. Really no wonder he messes up everything he touches. A ****ing clown. I wouldn't hire him to collect trolleys from carparks let alone trust him to run a business.

If there's no takeover on the horizon, it'd be a brave individual who'd buy a season ticket when renewal time comes around

They came from The Athletic who posted something yesterday and who haven't got a good track record for accuracy, was part of an article on Chinese owners..

The local journos have just re-posted the same info today along with everyone else on twitter.

I heard from a reliable source last month that he would "settle" for £30m, so may not be baseless.

It'd be a brave bank/credit card provider who'd allow us to sell season tickets on their credit, considering that if we did go bust or into admin everyone would come back to the credit card provider to claim a section 75 refund.

When clubs have been teetering on the edge before, it's often been the withdrawal of credit cards and the resulting inabilty to sell anything except by cash that's helped tip them over the edge.

Maybe we should stop chanting the great escape, given that film ends with the escapees being rounded up and shot (sorry if you didn't already know).

Seems like a potentially perfect metaphor.

Although a few made it to safety
Are they the recent transfers?!

On the plus side, it might end badly for us, but at least the US, UK and Russia will bomb the shit out of Dai in the end.

Will this thread deliver another century for Brogue before exclusivity is announced? I am going with 100 pages first.

we live in unprecedented times. we've only had 15 threads that have ever reached 100 pages on the team board in the history of this site. if this makes 100 then these 3 will have been in this last year. I'd like to thank Dai for my special achievement, i couldn't have done it without him.

There's pics on the academy site of a chef serving pancakes in the kitchens, are they back open?
