There's some strange opinions on here. This thread is getting weirder by the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Can no one on here read, the statement about the transfer of funds said categorically that the money to complete the sale and purchase of the club had not been received into the sheikh’s lawyers bank account not Mel’s bank account. Transferring funds between countries is almost instantaneous and foreign currency can be purchased prior to transmission of the funds, furthermore to transfer to your own lawyer, whom would have checked money laundering compliance before taking on a client, would not result in a delay of days/weeks/months, it is obvious that the funds to complete any deal are not yet in place.

I am merely pointing out the likelihood that, if the funds had been remitted on Thursday they wouldn’t have been received and cleared on Friday (UK bank holiday) Saturday or Sunday (non business working days). Unlike you, I remain open minded to the fact that the takeover may or may not take place. You may be correct in your continuing assertion that’s it’s fallen through (we all look forward to your “I told you so” posts) but none of us actually know the truth yet.

On what basis are you saying transferring funds between countries is almost instantaneous? Maybe my knowledge of the banking system is a little rustier than I thought.

This takeover sounds amazing. Remember when the big rag newspapers were making out we would be the next Man City ? I think the journalist on Twitter probably got it right when he reported that the initial investors have pulled out (most probably due to our lack of promotion potential this season) and now Sheikh Khaled is busy rallying round for more investors. If so the defeat to Sheff Weds probably came at the wrong time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Durden Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Is destined to take place as one of the great urban myths. Derby County underwent a takeover by a sheikh during the 2020-2021 football season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No.........it is a bank holiday in Scotland tomorrow, and we are all enjoying a load more drink up here today, to celebrate you lot going back to work tomorrow! And the Arabs have decided to have the money cleaned by sending it through David Marshall's, Graeme Shinnie's and Craig Forsyth's bank accounts before it lands in Mel's ramaccount.

Maybe our form has scuppered the whole takeover unfortunately. Needs to be a plan B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanish Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 1 hour ago, Tamworthram said: Why would the funds be sitting in a NY bank? The transaction won’t be instantaneous, even for a first class bank, if it’s being transferred from NY to the UK and a UK bank. Regardless of that, the funds wouldn’t be released to the beneficiary until, as you say, AML checks had been completed. Point is they could be in any front line location. I know you spent some time in banking but you are not the only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would imagine the takeover was being done on the basis that we get through to January, make a real go of it in the market and try and get promoted. All the talks of Rafa Benitez seems quite amazing and pretty embarrassing right now ? Khaled clearly knows there is potential, but trying to sell that to rich businessmen when we are 3rd bottom of the table must be a tough ask.

And Jack Stretton who was born in England but has two Scotland U19 caps has volunteered when the cash arrives in 1p coins to check it all out and put it all back together in them little plastic bank bags in £1 bags. He's a clever lad is Jack and knows a dodgy 1p when he sees one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
