David flows desevse a clean slate and besides they nicked players under our noises so now only fair that we can final start getting players in from prem club and over seas players. I think crystal palace willing to help us out and I think get both our young players on loan and maybe even a couple players from youth systems. And might odd bargin over seas to be had. £20m is never going to happen, most Championship clubs are not going to have that kind of money to spend. B4, we’re in League 1, coming out of administration, different financial rules to play by and a business plan to keep the EFL happy. What you’re suggesting is simply not possible, we’d be extremely lucky to even see a quarter of that being spent. Don’t lead yourself up a path of disappointment, understand the reality of the situation we are in.

Dave Mackay Ate My Hamster Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) Forgive me. It's late and I'm just catching up... So after it looking like a head to head battle between MA and AA... Mr Clowes has emerged from the wings as, reportedly being the 'fan' that was prepared to facilitate the CK bid by buying the ground - ergo completing the deal.... ... To upscaling his offer to buy the club as a whole? ... And being the frontrunner as the best bid? Is that where we're at? Please, someone summarise for me. And if the answers to my questions are all yes - could he/we not be usurped by better offers from MA/AA in the coming days? How much is Clowes worth? Is it a business deal or a fan deal? Does he have any wonga spare for future investment - or is it a wealthy fan clearing our debt, with a view to us become self-sufficient after him saving us? Sorry for all my questions.

Unsure at this point wether it’s AA, MA or SM. Don’t think MA is a teaming up sort of guy. And would DC want him as a co-investor !! ? AA may be, not least because he might not have found enough investors and he’s used to running consortiums have no idea about SM. As others have said, DC is saving our bacon, he’s not mad keen to buy. So his plan may be to buy the stadium. Then to make a binding offer for the club so that q can say to the other bidders: it’s yours if you outbid DC r_wilcockson and derby8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 It’s interesting as I heard earlier today that He had actually purchased the ground on the 17th of this month which is rather specific Anyway I asked earlier this morning for today to be a positive day and it seems it may well be Caerphilly Ram and r_wilcockson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramarena Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 We need to thank and get behind anyone willing to save our club. We’ve come as close to the brink as any big club in this country ever has. Hopefully Clowes gets this over the line and we can look forward to a brighter future.

Dave Mackay Ate My Hamster Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Whatever the outcome, there are a lot of players, some with huge individual wealth and others with access to high fund raising, that are interested in rescuing us. It's reassuring in our darkest time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where any conversation should start and end. The most important thing right now is saving this football club, if thats Clowes, Ashley, Appleby or even Kirchner, we should be extremely grateful. Millions are being spent on a club that has little more than ourselves, the money it’s going to cost to purchase this club could potentially buy or even own a major stake in most Championship clubs. It makes zero business sense buying this football club, none what so ever, so whoever it is that completes the purchase, we should be eternally grateful as we have been far too close to losing this club that means so much to us all.
