There was me thinking he put that money in because he loved the f@!#ing club, not because he wanted a return on investment...

So it sounds like he is keeping the stadium for himself,

 

[Ian Benjamin]

It depends on what he is selling. Is it everything?

 

[GDM]

Be interesting to see if @Carl and his backers will put in a bid.

The development is not up for sale so I would say unlikely, what's up for sale is a debt ridden, loss making football club. Form an orderly queue everyone!

 

[Tommy2holes]

It's great that he has publicly agreed to sell and he has hired people to find a buyer that have real credentials.

What we don't know is how the sale will be structured. If its a case of buying the club but Ron gets his property and the new owner(s) get the stadium when (if) its built. Then that makes us a very decent proposition.

If he is expecting someone to pay 10 million plus and rent a stadium, then he will find it very hard to find a buyer other than a billionaire. 10 million would be pocket change to them.

The devil is in the detail, which we have very little at this point in time.

With a that in mind. I say we still refrain from buying season cards and also keep protesting.

And this vague wish list of a statement was worth calling a press conference for? There is nothing in it of any substance just the usual waffle. What exactly would a buyer be getting? New investment? On what basis? Only a delusional narcissist would come up with blather like this just to get fans off his back. Meanwhile back in the real world there are bills to pay, staff wages at the end of the month and a management team experiencing a dip in form just when some fresh faces would have helped, but made impossible by the embargo brought about by financial mismanagement.

 

[Jim Levenstein]

In the short-term probably hard to predict anything but more embargoes and late/non-payment of wages whilst he cuts off investment as he tries to “sell”

 

[kentblues]

Blimey, he only made the announcement 15 minutes ago.

That was in answer to people no asking, now the club is now for sale, who would by a club with no assets in the NL...having been demanding he sell because there were lodas of people who would buy the club..

 

[Yer Blues]

 

[lreed567]

Not sure how to take this, yes now we will see if any interested parties are genuinely out there, and Ron can now also say I'm not putting anymore into the club, so what will happen with wages etc.. again until someone buys?? To me this doesn't sound like it's close to being sold/investment

 

[bazzashrimper]

So he’s selling the club and the stadium. But keeping the houses?

 

[mattytheshrimper]

The longest debate of all time is going to be answered within the next few months (hopefully) 'Who will buy the club'?

 

[Texas Eslan]

So it sounds like he is keeping the stadium for himself,

I didn’t read it like that. i thought it sounded more like he is prepared to accept a loss on the club to ensure it keeps the stadium but I could be wrong (with Ron I most probably am). He’s going to make enough money on the property development.

 

[hlane17]

So he’s selling the club and the stadium. But keeping the houses?

There is no mention of Roots Hall in this. Odd.

 

[SeldomSeenShrimper]

Big Question

Will the club sell?

Or is Ron using this as a ploy to be like "I put it up for sale, what more do you want?"

 

[Jim Levenstein]

So he’s selling the club and the stadium. But keeping the houses?

He’s not selling the stadium. If he was I’d be more happy

 

[Willis]

If Carlsberg did pointless press conferences…

 

[kentblues]

He’s had offers why didn’t he accept, why won’t he accept them now? Trap to get peoples money for season tickets!

What? He wants the best price so he got a leading agency with reach both sides of the pond and the ME to seek buyers? Why would he just deal with who he knows or who knocks on his door?

 

[meerkat54]

Totally underwhelmed with that. Ok he is going one day when it suits him, thats about it ..the rest is just the usual stuff he puts out to quell the masses.

I’m a bit deflated by the statement, it’s not anything that we didn’t already know.
It’s just carry on as normal. Embargo’s , staff unpaid, creditors stuffed. This could all go on for years yet.

 

[Jim Levenstein]

Pretty sure a big fat lease will be included in any sale of the club on fossets
