They must be a complete idiot.

I don't think so. They see this as some upfront pain for a big share of the housing windfall.

They need to play that scumbag at his game If they are being offered the hall for 3 years .Surely in that time with the money at there desposal It would give them time to sort there own ground .And tell Ron to stuff fossetts

I suspect he'd be happy with that as he could build more houses. But I can't see how you find a site, get planning permission and build a stadium in 3 years.

Ron says kimura haven’t completed the fit and proper test … Kimura say they have !! What do the National Lge say?? They would know

I think the only way that it can be fixed is if Ron suddenly becomes reasonable or if Kris and Simon decide they are willing to be mugged off. They are good guys and passionate about this venture but they are also astute businessmen.

You'd have to ask Martin if he's willing to sell more than just an insolvent football club I'm afraid mate...

OK perhaps not an idiot, but certainly with no interest in a football club/community.

Tbh, even if they see it as a business opportunity, they should be very wary of doing business with a man with a lack of credibility.

That's what we need .... best of both worlds. Being astute gets you a progressive business, being gun ho gets you Ron Martin. They should stand firm.

But I don’t want to be lied to, it makes me very angry. When riled I am known to shave silver headed rodent like humans completely bald, which can lead to issues of incarceration…

I'm reluctant to refer to them as 'another bidder', but it's someone who is willing to work with Ron and keep him in the background.

It’s a no from me. Anything that keeps the rat anywhere within sniffing distance of SUFC, in the light of recent events, is unacceptable.

Has Ron said that? I wasn't in court but don't recall posters saying that. He said he needs more time because fit and proper tests can take 4 weeks - but did he name Kimura as part of that?

He said in court that the buyers need to complete the fit and proper persons test, he didn’t name Kimura in court

He didn't name anyone I believe but I guess was insinuating that there was a new bidder, likely to be his ratty new associates, just to play for more time. If there was a new potential investor (not takeover), then I guess that would be at least 4 weeks.

He doesn't get it .... we don't want an investor that keeps him involved, we want new fresh competent credible owners.

I think he also separately indicated as he left court to @CRATE that he still hoped to sell to Kimura. My take is that the latter is bull**** and he actually hopes to sell/partner with another party who will allow him to stay on and they are yet to complete the F&P test.

I believe he also confirmed to @CRATE that Kimura were who he wants to sell to, but they were not named on the court record so I guess he could deny it later.
