SUFC: The Future SUFC up for sale

[Mbof]

The partyman arena, players slide onto the pitch instead of running down the tunnel
Could be fun times ahead

 

[Jim Levenstein]

Not the statement needed when we have ~1 week before we are booted out the league

 

[kentblues]

It makes so much sense to have a consortium to share the load.

Its not about load sharing (thats not needed, at least I am sure in the financial sense). Surely it's about getting the job done, and how that can be constructed to make clear there really aren't any alternatives. What we don't need is Ron doing a bad deal with people with insufficient funding, for example, just because he dislikes them less.

Any "normal" seller would have identified the realistic buyer by now, and just have got it done. I commend those involved for the lengths they have gone to, and continue to go to, and for not walking away when many surely would have done.

So they’re a little bit in and a little bit out and making room for other’s to join in

At least they’re not Out Out.

 

[Smiffy]

Sorry if it's already been mentioned but I couldn't get on the Twitter chat last night.

Anyone able to just give a quick summing up as it seems like it was a very positive experience.

Apologies if it's already been outlined on here but pages are building rapidly.

This was taken surreptitiously during the meeting. Look at the person furthest away

Look familiar?

Is it the New X Factor panel .

hopefully not with the same odour as partyman world in Lakeside though.....

 

[Mr Browns Ghost]

I would suggest this isn't the statement. They have just primed their position for clarity.

We will get another one outlining the new groups plans.

Bring back Clairvoyant and Foreverblue.

And wolfy … ooh **** sorry know we hated him didn’t we

That's super, thanks very much!

A consortium of local people would be the ideal outcome IMO.

Not doing it for their ego (as an any glory would be shared) but to save a local asset. No one person in control like Ron but working together like Maher and the football department for one common goal.

 

[C'mon you Shrimpers]

Why I said share the load I meant share the losses, certainly in the short medium term. Rich men can afford to lose a million or two. Who in their right mind is going to commit to losing more. This is not a normal business investment it's a recipe for losing money.

 

[SeldomSeenShrimper]

Have I missed something?

Or has Twitter just gone mad for no reason?

So many people think that the deal is done etc

I'm really confused

Agreed. Losses of £1.2m a year is a lot for one person. Shared between 5 or more it makes it a little more palatable.

I'll have a listen to Talksport, as advised on Spaces last night...

Just after midday?

 

[Joshy boy]

@CRATE Twitter Space at 9pm tonight?

 

[CRATE]

Read between the lines.

No where in the statement, does it say they’re out.

I said there would be a statement within 48 hours.

Its quite possible that the bulk of the funding will come from one side but with additional investors providing other significant benefits as well as a level of investment....we need to wait and see. Tenterhooks!!

Kimura have passed the baton but are still in the relay team, so to speak.

The good thing is that during their leg, they undertook extensive DD, so their team-mates will know what they're up against. This is not a standing start, but the obvious outlier is Martin and how he responds to a public counter to his "offer"...

 

[Jmayhew32]

So I read that as they are still in but in a capacity of helping another main person(s) complete the deal, either with investment or knowledge.

I expect there is more to follow.

Oh yeah! We nearly forgot about him…
