Latest Rumours SUFC up for sale

[Medway Blue]

So… any news on todays court case?

Nope, not yet. It's really bugging me as we have nobody in there to report back to us, and you can rest assured that the club won't say anything.

 

[Blues ‘n’ twos]

Just remember we have 100% record against 2 teams....Manchester United and HMRC

Whilst it's easy to get carried away with the winds of change and excitement (me included) I think we do need to temper that excitement just a little. I suspect much paperwork and due diligence to be done and of course Ron playing ball (it's his ball remember)

Let's stay hopeful something can be done soon, but not assume it's going to be this week. Fingers crossed of course that it will be.

Too late, I've already bought the bunting

I can't take this for another week and a bit, so I'm running away to Tobago for two weeks

I hope it's completed by the time I get back

Doesn't say much, although good to get an update of some kind.

You would assume that satisfactory evidence of a sale was presented.

Another terrible statement. To pay ‘staff’, but not really. All debts will be paid by 12th July, but still only in discussions with other interested parties (plural).

Continue to try and find financing options to pay the debt as it did in March, to clear the money we had to pay and couldn’t get away without paying.

Clear as mud and very depressing

Doesn’t sound confident re take over or have I read that wrong? Why would they be looking at finance options ?

So, it sounds like the NL have agreed to extend their deadline to the same date as the next hearing. I was really hoping for something before that. However, just because the deadline has been set that far ahead doesn't necessarily mean it will take that long to complete a deal. That's the longest it will take. Hopefully something will happen sooner rather than later to give KM et al a chance to actually compete next season.

That is not a statement written by Ron! It's clear and sets goals .. ?

Damned if they do, damned if they don't

Because that is what RM announced when he announced the sale. He said either a sale or external finance (not his words). In that respect they're just being consistent.

I wouldn’t read too much into that.

95% complete => 5% where things can still go wrong / need to have agreement. Ron will maintain interested ‘parties’ until the deal is signed.

Let’s hope it is 96% done now and will be 100% soon so we can all breathe

 

[Grayson]

Enjoyable to see the responses on here and Twitter that expose people who are entrenched in a default position of moaning and do not really understand.

This statement is a clear step-change from the past. It has little concrete news yet but that alone is a great sign.

It feels like they have had influence

 

[borientater]

How can it be ok for a business to only pay some (the top earners ) and nothing to others ? Is that even legal ?
