[Strykr]

How many more times are we going to read this company or this group are going to either buy or invest in our club .Wrll its now timw to concentrate on the football side And whet ever happens after that we will have to wait and see .

The Australian interest (again, from what I’ve been told directly) is not any form of celebrity front (unless someone can prove me different). It is an investment firm similar to KIMURA, they’re London based Aussies who have been involved in the rise of a small NRL team and have links to Wasserman Sports Agency. Just for clarity, the above could be complete and utter toffee, but I have it on very good authority due to the work I do day to day with Wasserman.

The 5 people consortium, a meeting is taking place at the back end of the week. Laurie continues to be in Vegas doing the lights deal currently, but very much has his finger to the pulse with where everything sits. The VNL extending the time frames in the manner they did to match the court dates, meant RM had further time to do what he is doing and court more interest from wherever he can (also why he put us in the shop window with his statement). This part being quite is good, as had they said no, we are out. They would of done it publicly and said why.

No I have read on here they are property developers. So this can't be right...

Thanks as always for the update. Makes sense.

 

[Beefy]

So he has done again got the stadium sorted for getting safety certificate cost him nothing as the waviers turned up to help him

They don't at all @Beefy , but emotions are running high and sometimes folk need to get stuff off their chests.

That’s not getting things off their chest, that’s deciding everyone’s opinions after what has happened this week.

Same old **** we keep seeing.

Would normally look to avoid commenting on these type of exchanges but have to agree there is an underlying tone of blame culture being expressed. It does come across as derogatory and I believe has been rightfully challenged. Sorry but that's my opinion.

 

[Shrimper]

Would be nice to get an update soon. It's been deadly quiet

Can guarantee Ron being Ron will put out what he sees as a positive statement to try raise ticket sales for Saturday. Type of thing he will do

I think we should all now expect our current ownership situation to remain as it is until the other side of our next high Court appearance. Maybe, just maybe, he will clear the current HMRC debt but I'm not reckoning on seeing any further movement on the sale front.

As with all things, we don't know what we don't know. A truism but there you go, it is what it is. Not what we want to hear, but we have no legal right to know anything more unless either side leaks stuff. At least we have football to talk about again.

I would hazard a guess, it will be just (11th hour) before the next court date based on the current ongoings. It’s insane how people are working yet getting no where!

So is it a mystery buyer versus Ron and a case of who blinks first?

don`t forget the 10 point deduction if ron steps out of line again

 

[kentblues]

Two players it seems- the 5 and UK based Australians (we think an Investment Company)
Which is why it will probably run to the 11th hour if its "competitive". Who knows. Two buyers better than one, and one buyer better than none....

Of course we have no idea who we prefer because we don't know their plans, vision, level of investment and what they want to buy/invest in.

With global warming I’m not sure Nevada will be that pleasant a place to be in a decade or so

That’s why Vegas invented pool parties and bottomless cocktails, to keep you hydrated.

Sorry to go off topic.

They're a USL team, but I believe the purchase will lead to them bidding for an MLS expansion franchise.

Las Vegas is making a huge play to become a sports destination. They got the Raiders (NFL) and will soon be getting the A's (MLB), both from Oakland. The Golden Knights (NHL) were a new expansion team in 2017. And they have the new Formula 1 race starting this year. Plus a new NFL stadium and, soon, a new baseball stadium.

May as well add an MLS team to the pack.

From what I hear, the Oakland A’s isn’t a done deal yet and is still only a 50/50 shot, despite their proposal to take over the old Tropicana and build a ballpark in its place.

The F1 may not be a staple for years to come either. Firstly, the traffic situation it’s caused resurfacing roads (incl. The Strip) has ****ed off the locals no end, but most importantly, they’ve essentially F1 have held the casinos to ransom and demanded that they pay hidden fees, or face having massive gantry’s and temporary seating areas put up in front of the casinos to block the view of the track.

This has gone down about as well as you’d expect. Casino execs aren’t used to being on the receiving end of a fleecing.

Vegas has been trying to acquire an MLS franchise for years. There was talk of the Brazilian team Flamengo being involved/branching out, which was well supported by the Mayor, Carolyn Goodman, but nothing seemed to materialise.

The Lights pull in a steady crowd of a few thousand people, but it’s not a fanatic fanbase, (nothing like the VGK, who are treated like royalty out there by their fans.) They do have the craziest promotions though, including mass water balloon fights on the pitch at HT, and another where they hover a helicopter over the centre circle and drop thousands of dollars onto the pitch for fans to scramble for.

Vegas is still a young pup when it comes to being a sporting City, but it’s certainly on the rise.

Just need an NBA team and they have the full set

Yeah, again plans have been in place to bring a franchise to Vegas for a while. There are plans to build some monster sporting arena/resort just off the strip called the All-Net arena, but locals doubt this will actually ever happen.

Anyway, this is off topic as ****, but seeing as there’s not much happening in the way of an actual sale with our club…

Tut tut, no excuse even if you are a staff member. Mind you, it should mean all of us mere mortals will have poetic licence in the future to slightly drift away from the matter in hand, shouldn’t it?
