SUFC: The Future SUFC up for sale

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Unless I've missed It, absolute silence recently from the two local MP's. Not that they may be able to do much, but one would have thought at least an expression of their deep concern as this crisis rolls on to a possibly catostrophic conclusion. After all it's a worry to a large number of people inside (and outside) the City

I’m at a loss what the trust can do tbh. Try but one stubborn wotsit of a man is the only one who can solve this. Looks like he won’t so depressed and down .

Well one idea could be the Trust becoming a bidder itself on behalf of fans . It would mean a great deal of fundraising work would be needed . Paul is an excellent chairman of the trust and OBL does great work with the youngsters . Also we have SUCET that does good charitable work in the community . The new owners do not need to be wealthy . Exeter City manages to keep afloat and nobody would suggest they are wealthy owners .

The power of 'Want' is greater than the power of 'Need'

Do Kimura want to buy, greater than Ron needs to sell? OR

Does Ron want to sell, greater than Kimura need to buy?

if you get my drift?

Or is it a fair and reasonable offer ie acceptable versus unrealistic expectations, it seems to me RM has agreed a price, but is unwilling to take responsibility for past misdeeds ! Not really surprising .

Is there not a way the crook can be forced out? Surely not paying tax bills and staff we can do something for someone to take some sort of action against him.?

Yes we could force him out by 10:00hrs this morning if we really wanted to. Then what?

Despite the total myth on here , nobody actually wants to buy the 'Club'. They all want the trimmings that go with it. That's what Carl wanted, so do estate agents, Hollywood super heroes and the cockney British actors......Even hedge fund managers.

Its not Oldham, Grimsby or Scunthorpe and buying a house is not the same as buying stadium that doesn't exist.....Whilst renting one that barely exists.

Even if Ron gifted the club to Phoenix group we would be out of the NL within week.

At the moment Its Kimura or bust. So put your trust in their experience, knowledge and ability to close deal.......None of us have any other choice.

 

[Ron Manager]

Unsurprising that people turn on the Trust because it is an easy target. As it goes, we had a scheduled Board Meeting last night and it's pretty obvious what the main topic of conversation was that took up 75% of the meeting.

To answer a few things, the phoenix plans never went away. The Trust is not a single entity in all this, and has been working hard with other significant persons from other supporters groups, nevertheless, the Trust is the one that attracts the criticism.

I think our chairman, Paul, has forgotten he has a full time job with the amount of work he's currently putting into all this. There is so much going on behind the scenes, including regular dialogue with the local MP and Government representatives, but of course, the majority of supporters don't see that, they just see perceived "inaction".

Last night we discussed several courses of action which will become clearer over the next 48 hours or so - I don't intend to put anything out publicly because, well, then I'd be exposing everything being planned and discussed to RM. It's a tricky situation - how do we let all supporters know what we've been discussing and planning without letting him know?

Just wanted to clarify that my own reference to the Trusts Phoenix Club plans was an attempt at a gallows humour joke and not a dig in any way.

There’s a lot of people among our fanbase who’ve dedicated time and effort to try and keep our club alive - those in the Trust among them.

Please keep fighting the good fight, it is appreciated.

I think its they agreed a deal on 2nd June but now the situation has changed due to the DD uncovering other debts which in theory should knock the original agreed price down but Ron not playing ball. That looks the issue to me.

Exactly this has happened I would suggest. It’s a question of who blinks first now and the concern has to be if one or both don’t.

Not many working days left before the next court appearance and my gut feel is either the sale takes place before the 12th July or the court finally run out of patience with us and calls it a day.. incredibly sad times

Simon Jackson turned the comments off on his “Wallop ” instagram post, as I think he realise it’s look rather stupid longer it’s stay there.

Tell Duddridge that Boris wants him there and he'll do it in a second

 

[Mad Cyril]

I wonder if Kimura are delaying until they have seen what next seasons kit looks like or if PG Site Services are going to change the font they use?

Kimura are backed by institutional investors - they absolutely will have a breaking point - it’s all about the return for these guys - if the DD has uncovered problems / costs that were not factored in - if the numbers no longer work, they will move on. Ron / his advisors must know this, so they are playing a very dangerous game.

Unfortunately, even if Ron has 'advisors' he will only listen if it suits his objectives. If the advise is counter to his objectives, its fingers in the ears and ' la la la' time!

Agreed here. However, Simon Jackson does have a real affinity for the club and the local area, so I'm hoping that this might contribute to a last push to get this over the line...

 

[JB Shrimper]

Come on Kimura, please be our knights in shining armour. We need some good news for once!

 

[Petejames]

Come on the kimura lads We are right behind you get this done your be heroes forever…. Watch this club grow with you boys… let’s get it done

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

See your point but my friend who works at the club and is waiting for wages isn’t so happy about fans boycotting season tickets

Interestingly got an email from a mate yesterday who said he 'd just got 4 tickets in the DB (presumably for the Dons friendly )and hoped that would go towards paying for staff wages.FWIW, think I'd have waited a bit myself.

 

[E for B and Billy Best]

Come on Kimura, the deluded one has been on the ropes for months, time to give him an unfortunate one round the ear-oles and knock him out the ring.

 

[Ramsdenblue]

Come on the kimura lads We are right behind you get this done your be heroes forever…. Watch this club grow with you boys… let’s get it done

Yes there will be songs sung about you, our saviours, from the terraces,
and will go down in folk law for many years to come.

Your name will always be attributed to, the wording

"Do you remember when we were at our lowest and our saviours, KIMURA came and rescued us, and look at us now, Playing in Europe"

Now that is a legacy.
