SUFC: The Future SUFC up for sale

[Holy Joe]

It does baffle me that as soon as a name is mentioned the whole entire fan base questions Ron's motives, why he wouldn't sell to this person and if he really has the best interests at heart.

Whose to say that when Tara reached out his proposal was miles behind that of the supposed Aussie interest?

FWIW - Ron is still a massive **** and I am sorry for remotely sticking up for him.

Personally I'm not saying he should sell to camp a, b or c, but to not even reply or respond to offers is, well, rude. Even if it's not in the ball park you're expecting, at least reply and tell them that.

I suppose that depends on the number and quality of the offers. If I was getting inundated with offers and some of the offers were a packet of hobhobs and an IOU for a £1 I'd probably ignore them too.

We have no idea what anyone is actually offering. Whether it is close to what Ron wants or whether it's insulting derisory offers in the hopes that Ron is desperate enough to take it.

Would that be the job of the people who are selling the club on his behalf though? It mentioned in the article that they received it, passed it on and RM said no to them.

Agree the communication is clearly lacking - although you pay agencies to feedback/let people down gently/keep them warm to some extent as well. I'm not clear if everything is going through the agency- or some are and others direct. I'm sure Ron is a nightmare for the agency as well.

Anyway what is not complicated is why Tara, the 5/7 are getting nothing back. He doesn't want to sell the club independently of the FF development. Its why he engaged with Kimura which appeared attractive until the FF piece proved too "difficult'. Scuppered it for both parties. He now has another option that keeps FF alive and an integral part of the plans.

My take anyway. This whole club for sale here's the price thing was window dressing to keep certain people happy IMHO.

The offer from Tara was part of a consortium, with a considerable combined wealth, to which Tara would have headed up, so in answer to your question, funds certainly wouldn’t have been an issue,

However Ron wouldn’t even engage enough to find this out though.

From what I’m told, the bid was a sizeable amount and would have been a full cash payment upfront.

Brady said: “I made a firm offer that I thought was fair for the football club.

“It was acknowledged but I haven’t heard back since then so I’ve moved on and I’m looking elsewhere.

“I can only imagine they must have better offers.”

So Tara's communication was acknowledged.

He also said the bid was for the football club, and seemed fair to him. Probably way off what RM thinks is fair, or what he's looking to sell, hence no further contact.

I'm sure the next protest will definitely force Ron to sell the club like the last one did...or the one before that....or the one before that....or the one before that....or the one before that....or the one before that....or the one before that....or the one before that....or the one before that....

At least they're trying to put some pressure on whether or not it shows any affect. Better than sitting around moaning and moping and doing nothing

I'm not moaning, or moping! I am sitting around doing nothing, but that's what I do for a job

I'm confident things will work out just how Ron wants them to, regardless of protests. I'd put up with a lot more than a few protesters if I thought I was going to get a few millon more out of a deal.

 

[RONMARTINOUT]

We are ****ed. Dont think a deal will ever happen. Given up hope

 

[LeedsSUFC]

Wish Tara could/would say how much he offered and on what terms, so us fans can judge which side of this is in looney land.

All good seeing a car I like on sale for £5,000, but if I offered £2,000, of course I wouldn’t receive a response.

(I know it’s not that kind of offering, because the club costs £1+bits and bobs… but you get the gist…)

Do you think Ron (either personally, or though one of his many group companies) would have spent the money he has recently if he was going to let the club be wound up?

Now, I guess he might let us suffer a 10 point deduction; but not if that would affect the value of the club or the attractiveness to potential bidders.

Keep the faith, and don't forget "In Ron we trust..." Not really of course, unless that coincides with what he wants.

 

[Jack_23]

Will be staying calm until people in the know start panicking . I still have faith it will be done in the next week or so.

 

[BEERMONSTER]

Believe!

 

[Che's Left Foot]

Believe!

 

[SeldomSeenShrimper]

Highly doubt a takeover will happen before the court date, I imagine the priority is paying enough of the debt to avoid the 10-point deduction.

Not sure how this affects the embargo, surely if we avoid the points deduction, we will qualify for that to be lifted instantly?

If I was a betting man, I'd say that a partial investor of 30-40% will be the most likely option with some kind of deal for Ron or Jack to be brought out once the new stadium is complete.

Short term, could really help us ... Long term ... not so much

That'll be an automatic action from Co.s House as he hasn't filed the Jan 21 annual accounts (Yes, Jan 21), which were due by 31 Oct 21.

Yep, just not announced. Ronny boy had money on 1500 pages and 30,000 posts and he won’t announce anything till then

Others have mentioned that IF the debt is paid, then HMRC will promptly issue us another one, for unpaid monies owed since the date of the last one?.
IF that is correct, then the embargo will remain?.

I believe if that is the case that not only would the Embargo remain, I think we could be subject to decision of the 10 points, but I could have misunderstood leagues statement, maybe others could confirm.
