SUFC: The Future SUFC up for sale

[defender05]

Could Stan not just be working in the US as the MLS has just restarted.

 

[overseas shrimper]

Are we reading too much into Stans Instagram activity and where he is in the world. Surely the man is allowed a holiday without us jumping to the "which rich and famous person lives in the same place that Stan is in today"

I hope Stan's next destination is a morally dubious but mega wealthy Gulf state, just for the fun of reading the inevitable meltdown and fervent debates.

...Or if he checks into a Sports Direct.

No
He works for a French sports Tv channel Showing live Prem football and hosts the show, its only because of the international break that Stan has been able to go to America.

I still fail to see how the sale will even work to be honest. The new stadium complicates matters and the fact the club doesn't own anything we're going to need a very wealthy person to buy Fossett's & the new training ground plus any potential debts we'll have. Add even further that Ron still wants to run the build of the stadium, what crazy person will want to deal with all of that?

That's if he even wants to actually sell, does he even want too, or has he just said that to get fans off his back for a while. Perhaps he'll prefer investment instead but again, who'll want to intrust their money with Ron? Again, if someone invested, how would that work with potentially taking a slice of the pie from the stadium money?

All very confusing.

This would incredible for the club but I'm not sure DB has that much interested in owning a UK based club, what with living in the US.

Imagine what a profile he would bring to the club. Ryan Reynolds is one thing but DB is football royalty.

It would certainly Spice up our lives . Couldn’t resist it !

Any buyer will be looking at the potential of the club, with its fan base, going in to a new stadium.
There’s a lot of potential if you ask me. So I’d be very surprised if there’s no interest out there.

He's back home now.

What was the score in that friendly v Real Madrid C?

lost 3 - 1 I was there!

 

[Texas Eslan]

Stan follows him on Twitter... probably nothing

As does Chris Philips now…

 

[RHB]

I can forgive many things about the Blues, but I can't forgive lack of effort.

I genuinely don't believe it was just a holiday. I also don't think whatever he's doing out there (and we can all guess) is at the behest of RM or TL.

I doubt ron could afford a plane ticket to america...

Thats not what Ron said at the press gathering.

I'm sure he did

No doubt there's potential, I don't dispute that. My points of concerns were listed in my post.

Any proper business man ie someone successful and with real money and clout, would simply walk over Martin in a deal. They would massively have the upper hand because of how skint Ron has become.

You'd think that but I genuinely think Ron will just **** everyone off so much that they just can't be arsed anymore. Don't underestimate Ron's ability to mess anything in the world up.

 

[JB Shrimper]

I doubt it's Ron doing the negotiating though. Most of the work will be done by the company he appointed to oversee the sale

 

[SeldomSeenShrimper]

Is this possible.
FF doesn't go ahead, financial reasons.
New owner buys club plus RH freehold. The latter at a football ground price rather than development value since that only possible if football club has somewhere else to play.
New owner spends money re-furbishing RH and takes time deciding long term ground options.
Can someone advise how much that might cost.

Roots Hall is beyond refurbishment.

It would cost Millions to do and with modern regulations we would end up with a smaller stadium. Not to mention we would have nowhere to play while this work was taking place.

Fossets farm will be our next home, whenever that will be
