I have just spoken to a family member who works in the city in a company that deals with aquesitions and mergers.
He has never heard of kimura.
Google kimura and the reading causes me consern.
Weird post... they are very well established.

Suggest thats user error using Google :D
 
Where did you get the impression that they were keen on the RH deal?
Obviously I can't share that out of respect. I didn't hear a lot, and as I say out of respect didn't dig for further info, but the obvious read of what I was told was that they were just as surprised as us about what was in the statement, but their initial reaction was to engage with it, not turn their noses up.

You may well be more ITK on the situation of the past 24h than me, I'm just sharing the little I've heard as I'm sure there are many interested to know what's going on, and @CRATE seems to have heard similar to me.

Respectfully, I don’t think that’s true. They see the RH proposal as a commercial catastrophe
 
Kimura have operated in good faith and Ron has behaved in his usual way - dishonest and utterly unreasonable. Now there are other scumbag property developers circling our wounded club like sharks and it isn’t going to be pretty.
That I would certainly agree with, and the unbold part would not surprise me in the slightest.
 
For me and many others, Ron never really wanted to sell to Kimura and has used them throughout this process for his end game.

He knows that after 25 years, he won't be able to get FF stadium off the ground especially with the hike in interest rates, cost of materials as well as labour which have all gone through the roof.

I do not blame Kimura one bit if they decide to close their suitcase on this because it is not ANYTHING like the deal that was first proposed. Its like bidding for a 4 bedroom house ,the seller ignoring your bid and then offering you a 2 bed bungalow alongside a bunch of cats who have lived there for years.

The rat is a lying slippery devious C&%T, who is happy to just continue to play people like a violin and I dare say he probably enjoys seeing it all happen in front of him.

He has never, and will never have anyone but himself at the forefront of his plans and for me has planned this all along, probably finalizing the sale to another property developer who may well do a similar thing to us in years to come.

Let's hope for the following:

1: They actually know how to run a business and get things done.

2: They have enough money to at least make us sustainable long term.

3: They are kept on a very tight leach by the council, trust and us fans because nobody can be allowed to get away with what this piece of **** has over the years.

Bring on the next protest, I hope his wife and the MPs are giving him absolute hell that he rightly deserves.
 
Does anyone else think kimura would show Ron up too much with how they would run the club?

It's like he wants to sell to someone **** and say "I told you the grass wasn't greener"
 
You'd have to ask Ron that but from what I've heard the offers remained the same and been on the table since well before last weds and he hasn't co-operated with them since that meeting a few Fridays back. This is why James Dudbridge is now acting as mediator.
