FindernRam Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I'm off to get a metal detector! Apparently in a Rubbish Tip far far away is a computer drive containing Bitcoins worth 200 million. Worth a punt. And about as likely to happen I reckon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people have Friday (prayer day) off, which feels like Sunday in the UK, while some people work a half or full day on Saturday. Hmm Let's hope they work on Friday. IF the money has already been sent the hopefully it doesn't matter about what days are working days in Dubai etc, it is a case of hoping that whoever is doing the checks on the money transfer. Not sure if they would be in Dubai, UK, or elsewhere. If the money has already been sent it could literally hit the bank at any point in the day. Probably a Forest or Leeds fan doing the checks so isn't pressing the approved button on the transaction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we’d just have to hope to goodness they don’t just asset strip us. May I ask what you are basing this on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why couldn't we be told that, it seems an accepted part of big money deals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not illegal. The hierarchy is simply owner ->director->manager so if the owner wants to do something he doesn't need the others on side. Bear in mind dcfc is a private limited company under the sole ultimate control of Mel. Not according to Companies House. MM ceased to be a person with significant control in DCFC on 28 June 2018.

But the details for Sevco and GN203 haven't been updated this year so might be out of date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topram Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 He said last night on sport scene that money can take a while to transfer few checks etc but didn’t know if the money had even been sent? Just doesn’t make sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just doesn’t make sense If someone says "yes I sent the money" you don't KNOW whether it's been sent until it arrives in your bank Just putting it out there btw - anyone transferring large sums of money into the UK previously would have done it using EU banking regulations - As of now that won't be the case and they'll have had to put new processes into place - Even if there was an agreement made that we'd use the exact same processes they would need to re-draft ALL paperwork to show it's now British regulations governing it and not EU ones to ensure everything complied with a post-Brexit Britain And since our government didn't get the trade deal agreed until late December and weren't able to explain to people what it mean until early January that's gonna have an effect on when the deal could be finalised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinhectoring Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 15 hours ago, Cam the Ram said: To sum up for any folk who didn't catch the interview. On the takeover: All about timings. In constant dialogue with those in UAE and despite delays they have no concerns over it not happening, so much so that Mel hasn't even considered alternative solutions should this deal not go through. No threat of administration. Any of the actual stuff we don't know much about he claims he can't talk about because of confidentiality. Says he's in regular contact with those in UAE but avoided answering whether he'd seen evidence funds had actually been sent from their end. Also says the club is currently being run in tandem with the potential new owners who don't actually own the club yet. Cool ... On transfers: PLANS PLANS PLANS. STRATEDGY STRATEDGY STRATEDGY. Sounds like we'll probably sell some players but he makes it sound like that was the plan all along and it's not suddenly a fire sale due to the wages problem. Was asked specifically, using Sibley as an example, about selling players on the cheap and said that would not happen. On season tickets: Refunds are 'happening as we speak.'

Just doesn’t make sense He said he hasn't seen proof of funds sent which he wouldn't have, they would have had to show it to Mel as it is him who they are paying and then Mel will tell Pearce if they have been sent or not.
