SUFC: The Future The Takeover - Very very close.

[Liam AAS]

If a Saudi prince did join the consortium the usual ones on here would still be questioning it and trying to find fault with him

Ah yes, the saudis are faultless. Very good

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

Ah yes, the saudis are faultless. Very good

Agreed! Find fault?
That's going to be a lot easier than getting this deal over the line, it seems.
If @annie1954 wants a list of reasons why Saudi needs to be kept away from sportswashing, I'm willing to provide.

Because understanding the mostives of rich/powerful people is important. We don't want to end up with another Ron Martin.

The difference is Justin talks to the people Ron Martin only talks to himself in the mirror

Ron has spent years brazenly lying and over-promising to people. And Mike Ashley started by having a beer with Newcastle fans and look how that turn out.

Try not to hero worship the first person that walks through the door.

 

[Mr Browns Ghost]

Wasn't it Chris Phillips that tweeted he was there?

If he was, surely it can only be because the takeover is nearing it's conclusion and maybe it was a sign of respect from JR to suggest meeting there so he could see us one last time.

I'm obviously massively surmising but it would make sense. Ron hasn't been there in 2 years and had protesters outside his house last week. He's not going to poke the bear again for no reason, especially if the repercussions affect him and his family.

Wouldn't it be amazing to get this done before Saturday's match?! We live in hope

It was london shrimper who’s should stick to his photo album

Per Cricko's list:

Justin Rees
George Taylor
Paul Redbourn
Ian Redbourn
Gary Lockett
John Watson
Jason Brown
Tom Arnold
David Kreyling
Canadian rich Geezer.

Folk have rightly mentioned that there is potential for disagreement within such a large group which is right, and indeed it
wouldn't be natural if there wasn't.

Key I think will be for them all to have a good co-ordinator, someone who is 100% organised, can deal with them all neutrally, maintains confidentiality, and who is very efficient. If this is not done then it could get messy.

Keep a look out on Indeed folks and get your CV's ready

 

[Uncle_Rons_Teapot]

Rather 10 in a consortium over 1 crooked so called property developer

 

[gatecrasher]

I don't care how many is in the consortium, so long as the club is run well and the embargo Is lifted, the trials and tribulations of supporting a lower league club are testing enough let alone the troubles we have endured the last decade

I appreciate he’s probably morally reprehensible but I’d take what Ashley did for Newcastle at Southend.

And obviously must have been some potential crossover between him and Taylor at Rangers I’d have thought?

From what we’ve learnt, I’d say JR is this man? He’ll be the project manager.

Would be nice to see Keanu Reeves as the final member of the consortium.
He lives an ordinary life and is very much in touch with Jo Public. Plus he likes charities, so we will be alright there.
just my choice, not in the know

And has links to Essex via his mum.

As Matt Slater has commented on previously, the Consortium approach to takeovers is very much the acquisition model these days and many have a lot more than 10 in their makeup. It obviously reduces personal 'risk' and makes being part of it more attractive.
I am sure the mechanics for decision and policy making for the inner workings of the Consortium will have already been collectively agreed and legally defined, no doubt including "casting" vote provision.
Additionally a lot of the approach to how and what needs to be done will have already been subject to discussion and agreement prior to these individual's coming on board.
We also arguably will benefit from a Consortium that has within it's make-up people who have long term associations with the Club or Southend itself.
We are talking real business and professional people here, not the 'pretender' on the throne we have endured for so long.
As for the mystery Canadian I fancy Shania Twain, but that's another story!

That don’t impress me much.

It did for me back in the day! Now where have my blood pressure tablets gone?

Luton are owned by a consortium it’s not turned out to bad for them in the last ten years.

As long as it’s not Michael Bublé. He’s one of few people on earth that I want to hear less from even than the bladderless rodent.

How can you say that when you just haven't met him yet?
