I understand he is only interested in buying the club if the stadium is part of the deal, so unless Clowes is willing to sell it immediately (which wouldn't make much sense) then Ashley has missed the boat. MM is out of the picture presumably Apart from that, I think all the DC development means for sure is that we will see a deal very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orphanram Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Great news and it genuinely feels like we’re heading to towards the end of this saga. Hopefully we can get some kind of conformation that players can sign new deals fairly soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram a lamb a ding dong Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 You might find that this has come just in the nick of time. WR will today be telling the players to give him until Weds at the latest and if nothing happens by then they can go wherever. Contracts will have been drawn up pending a stroke (of a pen) Rammy03 and Caerphilly Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bad Bob Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Not wishing to put a dampener on things, I'm still holding off on my celebrations. We were led to believe that clowes was purchasing the stadium anyway to lease back to the club. And we've seen / heard noises about a deal being all but done (CK signing and exchanging contracts) and continually suffering more heart ache. I hope that this will get us over the line and we can sort Rooney and rosenior contracts out, start signing players and prepare for season start ?

i-Ram Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 What good news. Morris no longer has any say in the way forward of our great club. MSD should be fully repaid too as part of the deal, and whilst we will never know the ins and outs it should be acknowledged that they hung tough for us, advancing further monies when they had easier pathways to achieve debt repayment. Thank you to the Clowes group in securing our foundations, and now hopefully they, and any other investors they want to work with, can start the rebuild that is necessary after Morris’s almost total demolition of the Club.

Elsewhere it says he’ll submit a bid today. Two things on that - it means they’ve been working on the bid for a while to submit it today and secondly that it still has to be approved, by creditors and by the courts, presumably. So not a done deal but hopefully Q will know what will be acceptable and will have been guiding the bid creation. Huge step forward therefore. It’ll be interesting to see what we are allowed to do regarding players and how quickly. By the sounds of it the EFL have been part of the discussions and will have signed up to the plans. Still wouldn’t be surprised if others join him in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers boys and girls. Good shout Mostyn, I've been in the same boat where I've lost family members this last 2 years, Covid when we couldn't go, And last season when I couldn't be arsed to go most of the time, Now I believe we have a duty to support this great club of ours once again, PP will be buzzing again in a few weeks time.

Cheers boys and girls. So sorry to hear about your loss. This post doesn't half sum up how important football clubs are to the cities and towns of this country, the local and regional communities that invest their hard earned cash for what in the main is the very odd moment of celebration. People who don't like football will never be able to understand the emotion that is wrapped up within the love of a football club and it is so much more than a game. It is a way of life, a chance to move focus from the grinds of daily life, a chance to spend time with family and friends cheering on your team. To have that close to being taken away is really tough, and I've experienced that a couple of times with OUFC. And yes, football will kick you in the b@lls more often than not, but it is all so worth it for those stoppage time winners, those local derby 3 points and the moments you can share with 1000s of your fellow supporters.

Celebrate the small wins, Pride Park has changed hands meaning Morris is no longer the owner. It also means MSD’s loans/security are potentially sorted and not hanging round the club’s neck. String it out like a birthday celebration, have a small celebration tonight with nearest and dearest, then maybe another with the workmates when we offer contracts, then a big party with balloons and that when a takeover is finalised, that’s my plan anyway, now where did I put my Rams Tiara….
