Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

If it was the Wilf brothers then we could have won the owners jackpot. They’ve been transformational for the Vikings, who now have the best facilities, infrastructure and stadium in the NFL. Not going to get excited though until something confirmed. Would love to see football run more like the NFL....

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

https://www.chironsportsgroup.com/ Charlton fans not keen on Rifkind, but one of the backers is a Billionaire. Also not US based but Swiss based but the reports of an NA group could be wrong unless there are NA investors. We know they "walked away" so wouldn't be a surprise if they have c...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

And the ITK accounts are back on Twitter.

A couple confirming it is 100% Generva whilst Jamie Hodder says he has been told it isn't them. :lol:

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

The big question is who with. I expect a journo will report in the next few days. I expect so, there will be no official confirmation as the EFL rules don't allow it but I would imagine one of the local journos will get a name in the neat future. Wording suggest the process could take up to 2 monts...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Proposed deal includes the club, stadium and Bearwood.

Now on to figuring out who it is - Generva, the Wilf Brothers or someone else entirely.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I really appreciate what SCL and other sponsors have done this year, but it does allow more procrastination. 7 days ago, my working assumption was we'd either have exclusivity and funding, or we'd be in arrears with HMRC which would mean 2 points deducted and a step closer to the endgame. Turns out...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I think most of us are expecting any sale to be "dodgy" in some way at best, or complete fraud at worst. The guy has no intention of letting go if he can help it, so if he can flog it to a connection and keep some form of control or exert pressure to get money back down the way, that is li...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I'm also bemused as to how Wycombe could make it work financially, it's worth 3 times as much as the club. Given the limitations on use. I wonder if they planned to rent it out as event space in the summer. This is my thinking - or even carve up the facilities and have half of the site dedicated to...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Thing i dont understand about the failed Bearwood sale takes on here is, the planning permission said it was for the personal use of RFC. Ok, so all you have to do if you want to buy the training ground is ask the owner of the training ground to apply for a variation of that planning permission to ...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Is that like the statement from Bowen that the sale should be complete by early New Year. Or when we should have exclusivity within about a week, three/four weeks ago. And the next thing we heard was Bearwood was being sold to Wycombe and Dai had changed his mind again? Howe's statement is obviousl...

Re: Injury watch 2023/24

Just seen Zane Monlouis has been called up to the Jamaica U23s squad. Completely forgot we signed this guy. Obviously not injured, any idea why he hasn't been making the squad? Would imagine he was bought in with cover in mind as we were probably a bit uncertain as to who was going to stay/leave in...

Re: Ups & Downs 23/24

Winston Biscuit Chesterfield, effectively promoted back to the EFL anyway due to goal diff, but 1 point tonight against Halifax would seal it

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

blythspartan The club are plugging the mini season tickets again so it doesn’t bode well.


Err - it would be a massively dysfunctional marketing department if you create an offer and publisize it once and only once. It means nothing beyond marketing.
