SUFC: The Future SUFC up for sale

[londonblue]

Or he might have been exactly the right person for the club but wouldn’t dance to Ron Martin’s tune at this point

If he was ever interested I doubt he even got as far as speaking to Ron.

 

[londonblue]

A better fit for us or for Ron as a seller?

Who knows.

 

[Shrimper]

I'm fully expecting Ron to sell us down the swanny tbh

 

[tommy tucker]

Potental bidders Crosbey stills and of course NASH that fits nicely Ron

 

[Che's Left Foot]

Surely the preferred bidder for Ron would be the one offering him the most money rather than the one that’ll look after our best interests?

Precisely.

He wouldn’t have had to speak to him but the terms of which a sale is offered is dertmined by Ron and will be more or less attractive to various buyers depending on their aspirations and wallets

For those thinking Ron doesn’t have any influence or ability to muck this up really hasn’t been paying attention for the last few years

It's more likely Ron discussed everything with the agents beforehand and any discussions would have been between the agents and the buyer on that basis.

However, I agree that Ron has the ability to monumentally screw this up because ultimately any deal (including any compromises) will need to be agreed by him. I'd be surprised, however, if anyone has got that far yet.

 

[Tommy2holes]

I'd be disappointed if its not Nash and Co but tbh anyone that saves the club, rids of Ron and runs the club properly has to be better than what we have now.

Can there be worse? Only the Oystens and that fella at Bury spring to mind. Maybe George Reynolds

The crazy Italian at Orient is up there.

The crazy Italian at Orient is up there.

very true

 

[Tommy2holes]

The crazy Italian at Orient is up there.

Yep. Forgot about that lunatic.

 

[danbowen]

My biggest worry is we get someone who doesn't fully understand what it will cost for the club and quickly runs out of money leaving us even worse than we are now. Although the death would be much quicker I would imagine.

 

[Texas Eslan]

Maybe this is a naive statement but I would have thought the involvement of Jez Moxey and GSW would take an element of risk out of the potential future owner in that they would have completed their own Those words are banned on them in terms of having sufficient funds for purchase and also for future years. It’s not like Ron is just flicking it on to a mate of his over a pint. Am I wrong to think they would have completed their own checks? Surely if they don’t they put their own reputation at risk.

I would imagine their remit is to meet Ron Martins sale conditions and make their commission. The longevity of the club isn't their priority.

 

[Mr Browns Ghost]

In a way, yes. But if he's pulled out then he's not the right person. If there is a preferred bidder (which I believe there is) then it must be that someone is considered a better fit. It's also possible he took one look and decided we're too much of a basket case for him, in which case he really isn't the right person, and is that actually disappointing?

This is obviously all hypothetical as none of us really know.

Genuinly you really believe that ? You suggest Martin would sell to someone who’s a better fit for the club rather than who he can make more money out of now and in the long term? I would suggest the complete opposite as far as Martin is concerned

I would have thought it would be in their interest too to see the club sold ? I wouldn’t expect them playing a complete neutral game

 

[tommy tucker]

Maybe as the fans have ****ed ron off .He will only sell to a buyer who will **** the fans off even more to get his own back on the fans that wanted him out.Thats the type of creep he is .

Some of Wrexham's former owners were pretty bad, it's partly why their fans have been so supportive of us, they've been through similar themselves.

 

[Hadleigh-shrimper]

Let’s hope talks are progressing with whoever they can take us back to the efl and beyond with stans plans and kev and co. Utb

I would expect GSW to do Those words are banned and tthe preferred bidders to be a good fit for the club,Its in their own interests to do that ,reputation is a big thing, and im sure thy do this well ,what with the times as they are they could attract many more clubs that are on their knees to come to them for help in finding new owners, and not just football clubs. They have a good reputation i dont think they would want to harm it and just go through the process and find any old bidder who cannot hypathetically afford to buy us ,just for a commission.
