That Jason Lane on twitter has seemed to hint at an 'ex Leeds United Director of Football' is one of the interested parties

If he posted that he’d done all his due diligence & it’s definitely raining outside I’d still check before I left the house….

He was talking shit about the debentures the other day, refusing to believe he was talking shit

He's ended up saying the ex Leeds link is Luke Dowling representing a consortium who was the fella Whelan mentioned as the person tasked with finding potential suitors.

I saw the attachment. I was inquiring if Jason Lane was Scribblemilk. That attachment says nothing to that.

He isnt scribblemilk

His due dilligence on Able was amusing

Jason Lane >> Arnold Layne

He also had a strange hobby but not collecting evidence of debentures etc. Clothes wasn't it? 

Maybe Jason will catch a nasty sort of person, and give him time

Trying to keep talk of new owners off the match day thread.

While there is no real hard evidence, plenty of hearsay as always, speculation is going to be somewhere between bubbling under the surface to rampant chattering.

So unless someone extremely close to the protagonists slips up or deliberately leaks the first we’re going to know is when contracts are exchanged or a 100% sale has concluded.

Clearly the good ship STFC is listing heavily and heading towards either the bottom of the ocean never to be seen or heading towards the beach for a soft landing. Trying not to think of being smashed against the rocks to smithereens. I’d like to think dry dock for a rebuild, modernisation and relaunch. The latter while wishful thinking has to be more realistic while the ‘club’ and trust own the ground in the JV than when the council owned the ground.

Regarding debentures, they are showing as settled on the Swindon Town Football Company filings on CH, two documents from Sept 22 - but they are paid to Arbib and Black. No mention of Power and no explanation as to how Morfuni had his feet to the fire and had to borrow money off Chris Kiely. Who surprisingly isn't that keen to get his money back and his happy with his, sorry, his wife's declared share. Remarkable how similar Jamie Russell's recruitment strategy is to Sandro's, even though they cut Sandro because he's a rotten egg. Didn't they? Oh, wait.

is there any regulatory obligation to file a change of debenture ownership?

…and this is the problem; if there is a viable alternative out there (and I don’t believe for a second there is) then staying in the shadows is exactly what they shouldn’t be doing. If hypothetical new owners wa t to buy the club the best thing they could do is go public.

They’d get backing from a large percentage of the fan base - hell two mythical guys in suits in the DRS experiencing the ‘real’ match day experience despite being life long fans got support and they don’t even exist!!!

Secondly those that are still pro Clem might get their heads turned if they saw there was actually another option.

The Trust should be doing what they can to bring anyone interested in buying the club to the forefront…

[Berniman]

Any credible buyer would keep their business close to their chest and not go public to turn it into a  frenzy, exactly the opposite of what Clem did (even though his was a hostile takeover so slightly different).

Backing from the fanbase will only raise the noise and potentially muddy the waters in getting the deal done.  Personally I would like a credible owner next time, not a rah rah Jed/Power/Clem..

Rumours will get out, they always do, but personally i would prefer for the deal to be 90% done before those rumours start to surface as our online and vociferous fans do not exactly have a record for acting and speaking sensibly.

We all want to know, but not at the detrement of getting the right group in.

This.

That’s only works if Clem is willing to sell.

If he (and whoever) are digging their heels in or holding out for an unrealistic asking price then letting everything run in the background won’t put any pressure on Clem (and whoever) to sell.
