Takeover (1 Viewer)

ladywoodskyblue · Feb 27, 2017

A friend who has an executive box at the ricoh has said to me he has heard a takeover in principle has been agreed.
Before anyone asks, Im not naming them and I dont know who they have heard it from. I also dont know if there is any substance to it. However, me and my Dad have had a season ticket for many years (bar Northampton season) so the club means a lot to my family. Therefore, i dont believe he would simply say it to me as a wind up. He says he has heard it from someone who is within the club. However, I accept this could still be an untrue rumour but he isnt the sort of person to spread rubbish.

Again this is completely unconfirmed. I have 0 proof and I don't know who the source is. I am merely passing on the information I've been told to fellow city fans.

This comes up from a few sources, I think there must be some truth in it. Pleeeeeese.

There's been smoke before like this with no fire.

I'm full of hope, but not expectation.

Felt like I didnt really want to post it as I wouldnt want to get everyones hopes up for nothing. Praying it is true, who knows. Ultimately this cant go on forever

Not having a go, just saying we've had very good rumours from several sources before like we are having now and nothing came of it.

Thanks for passing on whatever you hear.

Where do you get your hope from? All sold out at my regular outlets.

If a potential investor was at the Ricoh on Saturday undertaking due diligence, then they may have counted a number of bibs, balls, goalposts, but no footballers!

bradwellskyblues · Feb 27, 2017

what they saw on saturday would not excite them much but if they stayed for the week end things may of got better

look mate, if you hear something like this you've got to post it so fair play.
You're not saying it's definite, just posting what you've heard, if people choose to take it as gospel that's their issue.

Tell you what, things are so bad think I'd even accept a Joe Elliott takeover.

I would take relegation if it meant starting next season with new owners who could give the club a new direction and start taking us forward.

More than just take it, it would be great. The relegation is going to happen anyway so imagine starting their 4 with great new owners who want to give us loads of money. We could fly up the leagues.

So who were the 4suits sitting in the small blocks of Black seats in the top tier on Saturday?
Like they were trying to be inconspicuous.

SkyBlueRuffian · Feb 27, 2017

Simon Jordan could be involved.

Suffolk sky blues · Feb 27, 2017

I will pray tonight.i feel guilty I feel I have taken ccfc for granted.if a take over happens I will buy a season ticket next season.my last season ticket was 36 years ago.

to be honest mate, I'm not even bothered about the loads of money, although it would be nice. Just someone who can run the fucking club properly for once. Secure us somewhere to play, rescue the academy, put in a recruitment policy with a bit more focus on the longer term, pretend to give just a little bit of a shit about the supporters, I'd be happy.

Greggs · Feb 27, 2017

Quality/Quantity of posts incurs me to call bullshit. You previously claimed to be a friend of an academy player's relative, telling us Stevenson had been sold. Attention seeker i reckon.

spoilsport.

oldskyblue58 · Feb 27, 2017

Think it will be more of a reversing the football side out of the current set up by sacrificing certain assets to achieve it. Doesn't make sense for anyone to buy the current set up with the debt and preference shares

I don't think you have a choice when it comes to "taking relegation"

Again, that did come from an academy players dad. If you message me ill tell you who but im not putting it out publicly. I dont claim to be ITK if i hear something i post it on here.

Grow up mate

There have been approaches but the people involved would not meet SISUs ridiculous valuation.

Maybe the start of JR2 was even held back for a short while to see if any deal could be reached.

Given Joys obsession with the court room there is no chance she will sell the company that has bought the lastest round of litigation. There will be no tunnel let alone light at the end of it until JR2 and all the appeals have finished.

wingy · Feb 27, 2017

Is there any way certain players, who fees for were resisted in January, could have been siphoned out of the current structure if there were to be another event.
Unlikely I know and can only really think of one.
While we may have been struggling financially the cup boost should just about rectify.
It just seems odd that we didn't cash in the 3-4 players, offers were allegedly made for.
