Surprised the investor is an American They're not WTF has the nationality of a potential investor got to do with it anyway? It doesn't seem to bother the current incumbents that the current effective CEO is a Greek (bearing no gifts incidentally). |

Surprised the investor is an American They're not WTF has the nationality of a potential investor got to do with it anyway? It doesn't seem to bother the current incumbents that the current effective CEO is a Greek (bearing no gifts incidentally). Because people automatically start saying "why would an American get involved?" and get a bit panic laden over whether the change is such a good idea. Now this may be purely unintentional by the board, or it may be an attempt to split the fans, or an attempt to flush the investor out - the the latter may be dangerous if the investor turned out to be even more credible than they thought. I never used to get carried away and beleive the whole conspiracy theory - of the board trying to influence people through careful PR. Those days are long gone, rightly or wrongly I am suspicios of anything the board says now. |

Made it up, dreamt it, long lunch? Who knows with this lot? Paul - what is the next stage or, has previously been asked, are we now at an empasse? We are at a bit of a logjam, yes. It would appear that despite previous statements re burning leather the current regime are not that interested in securing investment in the club. There's a variety of ways this could go if the current childish obstructionism continues, but I'd still hope that it can be resolved amicably by sitting down sensibly with the Wills family. For the moment, though, I don't think there's a lot to be gained from stooping to the yah-boo-sucks level we're seeing from the board. |

And which members of our current board are fans of the club??
Sandy? Mik? or maybe little Willie
FFS the chairman says he has no time for us except to get a return on his cash, and they say someone wants to get involved who's not a fan!! :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Cant the trust just say to the board, right, we have investment, we want to purchase the club, what exactly do you want from us?
Or is that a bit simple?

Not meaning to sound disrespectful Fred, but if you are involved in this deal and the trust is trying to convey it's professionalism, I hardly think the public arena of a forum is the best place to discuss who the new investor is or isn't and make points to a football club's board.
It's starting to sound like a childs arguement.
And in response to someone else's post, if the statements from the club are to be believed then bank statements are not the most professional means of providing proof of funds.
I'm playing my usual devils advocate role here, but i wouldn't sell a club, if i owned one, for love nor money if the above club statement is to be believed.
