SUFC: The Future SUFC up for sale

[TJC]

A ****ed Ray Winstone on the mic at half time would be worth seeing

Might need to change the cats **** on tap that's currently served up first

 

[Holy Joe]

My knowledge of Kimura is that it runs a fund that does supply chain financing in commodity trades. Financing the trade between the time taken when the seller loads the commodity onto a ship and the buyer receives it. It's quite a lucrative business - but they were looking for investors - I don't think they were using their own funds for the trades, but rather they managed it and charge a management fee. As others have said, the firm is relatively small. I'm sure theyre wealthy guys behind it, but not super wealthy. So I'd be hoping they had other backers - who obviously weren't expecting a return on their money.

I think at one point they may have been into bitcoin or something - maybe they were in earlier and became mega wealthy on that?

I have no doubt in Ray Winstones ability to run b wing in borstal, but what does he know about running a football club? No that you need any qualifications or experience, Ron's been getting away with it for years. Are we about to get our own Netflix documentary?

He can’t know less than Ron that’s for sure

 

[RHB]

Not sure you’ve read this correctly… he was seen at Fenchurch last week, which is where the Kimura UK operation is based.

So is the Tower of London, he might have fancied seeing the Crown Jewels (AKA the war chest) one last time?

But what will I complain about if we end up in good hands?

You'll find something.

 

[hlane17]

You'll find something.

The burgers might be a good place to start

 

[overseas shrimper]

Yes buy what does he know about running a football club? Seems like a reasonable question to ask?

And a question Wrexham fans may have asked about Ryan & Rob.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

This thread has suddenly gone into overdrive. Exciting times? I just wish that all this hope and expectation doesn't end in anticlimax

 

[Ricey]

I’ll wait to get excited on this one, Ron has a habit of ****ing things up. Nice to have some names, not sure about the Ray Winstone involvement, never been a fan of his. Doesn’t mean he can’t turn that around if he helps bring success to the club I love. Time will tell how this plays out.

 

[The Original Tribal Chief]

Ryan Reynolds abd the other guy are quite successful business men in their own right. Ray winstone is an actor, unless anyone knows different.

He is a passive investor in a mobile phone company and does their commercials. Football genius I would imagine. As Ray would say, 'behave yourself'.

 

[Sunnyshrimper]

Spoke to Barry Hearn at a boxing charity event 2/3 years ago - got the impression that there's no way he'd go back into football.

Barry Hearn’s parents bought a place and lived in Shoeburyness many many moons ago. He mentioned that in a podcast episode and I’ve seen him many years ago at a restaurant by Kursaal when it was a curry house so has links as well as living up the road but agree, can’t see him getting involved

 

[Ricky Otto]

He was seen at Fenchurch St station - which is where he'd be seen if he caught the C2C into London for a million different reasons, one of which might have been to meet Kimura. I was at Fenchurch street last week - wasn't meeting Kimura.

Me too, I was in the east India

 

[Shrimp and two veg]

My missus loves a bit of Ray. I'll have to take her to footy now, thanks a bleedin lot

 

[Barry.C]

I hope the other interested party steps up to the mark? I could see Ron getting into to bed with this lot though

Dont quite no way but Im feeling markedly underwhelmed at the moment

Reverting back to my post yesterday… if you were expecting Nash then you might feel underwhelmed. I think it’s a case of wait and see if they have the funds to buy the club the new ground and the training ground then they clearly have funds

 

[Hadleigh-shrimper]

is it nearly champagne time this hs certainly cheered me up on hump day. Ray could bring the profile they bring the doe

He gave these guys a period of exclusivity to complete a deal, so I suspect the 2nd horse in the race has been sidelined for now and may well not be engaged with much unless this deal collapses.

I'd love to be in the dressing room if he gave a half time talk

Spud pulled out in front of me from RH car park last Saturday and turned left into East Street. I thought he was there watching the Junior football finals. But...

It was said on the athletic article that kimura sponsored an event the other week at RH, so thats maybe why he was there... I see him over Chalkwell Park quite often with the grandkids and dad used to play vets football with him for courtlands and him and Gary Nelson were always very humble and down to earth guys.

Well you bloody-well should have been.
