SUFC: The Future SUFC up for sale

[Cricko]

There was talk a long time ago when Tom first joined the club that he had connections that may enable him to one day take over the club. One wonders whether he is behind the mystery party.

I hope not. TL IMO should be in the bin to,

About time someone said it

I do genuinely enjoy the new and angrier Cricko.

I've said for some time now that I think a clean sweep of the boardroom and the upper reaches of the club's hierarchy would be best for everyone.

Agreed, sure he's done some good things but in the grand scheme of things he's still Rons puppet. **** him

 

[fbm]

hour by hour losing hope, honestly can't remember a deal ever being done this late except Bolton a few years back

We were 30mins from going under when Vic Jobson saved us in the mid 80s

Ron letting this get to tomorrow without a sale agreed would be a remarkable turn of events, but Ron and logic are two things that don't go together.

I can't see Kimura paying more post-adjournment, should one be granted, and I seriously doubt any other bidder will pay more either. Therefore surely it must be Ron hoping either Kimura decide to increase their offer / decrease their demands today, or that the other potential buyer is preferable as it allows Ron to keep more of the pie, so Ron is betting the house on both the court giving a stay of execution and that other bidder coming through.

I know the rumour is that Kimura have put a deadline on this before tomorrow morning, which to me makes total sense, there's no logic in a Kimura takeover post-court hearing unless it's signed pre-court hearing and just logistics to work out in the days after.

Simply put (not ITK) if we get to the hearing without any news then I think that would be the end of Kimura, and with it odds on the end of our club as we know it.

 

[Paddypel]

@Medway Blue - any optimism from someone that's ITK that this deal gets done by tomorrow morn ?

 

[SS9_Shrimper]

Still waiting on that released list TL. I am sure Ron didn't ban any form of communication other than those relating to a sale. I get that not saying anything is sometimes the best policy, but the basics would be nice.

Clean start needed,

Cricko 2.0 has definitely been a hit so far

In an odd way with the situation being so sketchy it's bringing out more passion than I've seen from fans for ages.

Amazed me how he (and some others at the club) remained above criticism or scrutiny for so long given their senior roles at the club.

 

[mark387]

Wow I didn't realise we were now allowed to criticise the golden boy who took over a company haemorrhaging money that then continued to haemorrhage money under his tenure.

I still don't think TL deserves criticism for how the club has been run, but if he's part of a bidder that's confusing the existing takeover negotiations that's really not ideal and would make it almost certain he would be replaced should Kimura manage to get this over the line.

 

[hlane17]

I'm inclined to agree. Pains me to say it because on the occasions I've seen him around, he's been nothing other than respectful and hardworking.

If we get our dream takeover, we should be wiping the slate clean.

 

[Flinty]

Can you imagine Kimura carry out all the DD , and Martin gives the club to a TL consortium who have not had to pay for the privilege

 

[JAL]

Unsure how the flack has been shifted on to TL here, people forgetting how we probaby wouldn't be her at all if TL didn't come in, and as well as that, people forgetting TL has dug into his own pockets to pay staff.

This is about Ron and Ron only.

 

[KevinJH]

I've heard there is definately another party involved. I'm not sure they are as rich as Kimura but would stabilise the club. I have a feeling that this other party is connected to the club In someway.

SVC's been noticeably quiet/absent....?

 

[FarmdogSUFC]

I personally wouldn't critique a man that dipped into his own pockets to help the club when the chairman decided not to but that's just me

It's my 29th Birthday i want this to get settled today.......

I even got a cake!!

That’s one of the saddest photos I’ve ever seen

The pond is supposed to be dry isn't it - it's a flood control pond, will dry out when it doesn't rain
