SUFC: The Future SUFC up for sale

[Westcliff DGS]

No they don't, but the point is more about the reserves councils sit on while claiming to be skint and that includes when cutting services.. Like having a rainy day fund but it's never used even when the roofs leaking..
Putting that aside perhaps the council could also add pressure on RM working with the MPs that will costs them nothing !

That is very true they could.

you not listening to twitter chat then. Lots of positivity on there are the moment

No I can never follow this things, some times poor audio, sometimes poor connection.

Hopefully there is some positive news coming but over the last how ever many months we have been here and then it goes bang and we are back to square one

 

[meerkat54]

Sounds promising, but I won’t celebrate until the inks dry on the paperwork.
We have experienced too many false dawns. But fingers crossed yet again

That's good to know but please remember not everyone is on Twitter

Can we get a summary for the non Twitter people please? Would be nice to hear some positivity!

Hummm.........my interpretation of what I'm hearing tonight is that a group of local businessmen are going put forward a plan to buy the club. I think we may have to look at the posts from Forever Blue and even Clairvoyant in a different light.

Why?

 

[The Original Tribal Chief]

Why?

Because they repeated what I’d been saying a couple of weeks ago.

A meeting took place today between 5 (I think) local business people, all based in SS postcodes, interested in using their substantial experience and skills in saving the club. One person leading the discussions has been involved in the purchase of 4 of the top 6 premiership clubs.

A statement from the consortium is imminent (probably tomorrow) and we were also advised to tune into Talksport at midday tomorrow.

It sounds like there’s some confidence that if the deal is accepted quickly by Ron (big “if”!) then we will be OK to start the season with the embargo lifted, debts settled, staff paid and new players.

Fossetts is off the table for now.

Local MPs, especially Anna Firth, have been very helpful.

I think that’s about it.

Didn't hear all of it but Lord Football came on quite upbeat about developments today and though he didn't say much specifically on there, I saw on his Facebook page a post that read: -

"A statement, probably tomorrow, from interested party."

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Why?

Because things I'm hearing resonates with some of what has been said by them

 

[CanveyCastle]

I am not getting excited at all until Martin rides into the sunset and has finally ****ed off.

Unless I have missed something all they kept saying was that Ron was playing Kimura along as someone else was lined up.
These 5 new guys, from what I read in to tonight, have come together in the last few days - FB and Septic Peg wouldn’t have had prior knowledge of this group.

 

[Shrimper1985]

I believe its worth pointing out nobody said its a new consortium

 

[JD]

I think it may involve some familiar names. But that’s my hunch.

 

[GIBBO]

The chap who has been involved with 4 of the 6 premiership takeovers is Laurie Pinto.

Pretty sure, Kimura hired him to work on there behalf with Negotiations with Ron?

Has to be Kimura? I'm just guessing have no inside knowledge. But, do when it comes to kits!

maybe Kimura connections but not under the Kimura name?
Along with a.n.other(s)

Would make sense given its 5 guys with local connections to SS post codes - and that the deal has changed and maybes Kimuras funding isn’t appropriate for this kind of deal - but SJ and KT along with Pinto are regrouping with some additional support to make the deal happen….

Let’s see!

Not forgetting the biggest hurdle being Ron’s ego.

RE: the people behind tomorrow's statement, we won't truly know until it goes public. I think it's best not to speculate.

 

[Strykr]

Yet another scenario to get our heads round.

Maybe a collective is a good idea. And more importantly spreads the cost of purchase.
