SUFC: The Future SUFC up for sale

[Suffolk Blue]

He ain't selling, it's been nearly 5 months. Ever been had ? Martin is literally going to watch Maher start his first league game this season without filling the bench, unreal.
No way is he selling, he's having far too much fun. Show me a prospective buyer who thinks they stand a good chance of a takeover imminent !

Oh, I see; I've been had?

But of course I can't show you a prospective buyer because any discussions would be being held on an NDA basis.

In the same way as you can't back up any of your statements with facts, can you?

I'll let somebody who actually knows what's going on say something before I believe this.

 

[Suffolk Blue]

Certainly doesn't seem to inspire confidence that he's going to let go easily, despite the urgency of the situation.

@CRATE did you mean that Ron isn't going to sell the club when you posted "Goals posts haven’t been moved. They’ve been installed on a completely new pitch" with a smiley face?

 

[Thor1]

Not going while Rons still there, its the only way. See how he feels when he looks over an empty stadium.

He won't be there. He hardly attends.

I took it to mean the original deal was FF related and now the goal posts are on a completely new pitch as the deal is just RH related and nowhere near the original discussions being held

 

[Alexshrimper]

Then the group need to use one of the politicians as a mouth piece to tell everyone how and what has changed.

This

I hope that's what he meant, but with the news/rumours of a group of investors being at B&L, coupled with RM's track record, I took it to mean that he's up to his old tricks again...

 

[DirtyBeats]

For my once a day updat I regularly scroll back 4 pages, read my way through to the latest comment and then realise I've learnt absolutely nothing.

This limbo is agonising now and every season feels like we are giving every other team a 10 point head start before a ball is kicked.

I pray to the footballing gods something happens soon.

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

Have I missed something? Why are people saying the club isn't for sale?

Is this because nobody has announced that a bid has been made for the club yet?

I get confused because Ron said it was for sale and announced what the price was (sort of).
Chris P and Crate have both said that people were talking about buying the club.

Isn't there an NDA in place that would prevent Ron and any prospective buyers from making a statement, even if they wanted to?

I think it is because if you go back and watch his press conference on 17th March he actually said he was looking to sell the club OR find additional investment.

So he never solely has said he is only looking to sell the club and that the investment route has always been in his back pocket and reading between the lines is his preferred option for obvious reasons.

The devil is in the detail and this is one devil of a detail!

He'll feel it in his wallet though.

Feel like I might need to start getting familiar with the NLS grounds

Without knowing exactly what the NDA says it’s difficult to say. Usually a NDA would cover information received from the other party during the course of a bid.

That would mean Ron would be free to state what he would accept for it and probably for a buyer to state what they would buy it for but not for the buyer to state what Ron would sell it for or for Ron to state who wanted to buy it.

 

[in the know]

Who knows who know but I did know that Australian investors to his project were meeting him at the training ground yesterday they have no interest in buying either rootshall or the training ground but want to invest I also know Ron is over the moon with all the volunteers tidying everything up so his investors can see a much ‘ nicer’ environment… I also noticed yesterday on my day off a lot of activity at the training ground prior to the arrival ….

Hear the aussis were there today and met some players and watched some training.
Don't know what significance that holds but at least shows interest

Anyone have any idea if they are just investing with Ron or they are part of actually buying Ron out

Not been reading all the messages on here, but what’s this with Aussies? Investors leaving RM involved?

 

[Cricko]

Made me laugh. Saw this on Faceache.



Martin declares Fosset Farm Stadium complete and ready to play this season!

The Trust Statement would read “whilst we are glad to have a new stadium, we have concerns regarding the new pitch”.

I’m not sure that’s good news (for those that want Ron gone)? If they were allowed access to players and watching training then that must be with Ron’s approval (or perhaps at his invitation) which would strengthen the view that they are investing rather than buying outright which keeps Ron in situ.

Genuinely hope I’m wrong but I believe that’s what he’s been aiming for last few weeks (once he realized a sale wouldn’t get a price he’d be happy with)

How will Bridge down that wing?

I think investment has been his game since he started this ball rolling. Mentioned quite clearly in the press conference.
