Takeover

It’s the hope that kills you.
I believe something will happen soon but I’m just a fan like the rest of us living in hope.

Advanced talks with two parties. Been confirmed on WM apparently.

When was this said? listened to the phone in tonight ( I know its crap) but unlike Blues when they talked about it none stop, not much was said if anything

Tom Collomosse from the Mail put out an article today stating we are in discussions with 2 possible buyers. Maybe they were just repeating that

I'm trying to stifle any excitement over the Kansas city links. I remember when rumours started circling that the Uber minted (well at the time) Dalian Wanda group were buying us and in walked fucking Lai! By comparison at the time Wanda were worth 500x what Lai was.

If you look at the previous purchases the lawyer has been involved with, it should provide reassurance about what is on the horizon

Hope your right Captain can’t wait to get rid of Lai and his cronies.
Then hopefully get our club back.

Its exciting that we are starting to see progress mentioned by respectable outlets, and the esteem the alleged lawyer is held in certainly makes things appear positive. I think it would also explain the lack of communication about potential further exits in January.

Ultimately the price Lai wants is fair, and he and his backers want rid of the club. MSD will want paying and will ensure due diligence is undertaken, so I’m quietly confident we will come out of this in a better place.

MSD would be better off if we don’t pay them as they have all the security they needed against the loan. 

Legally, I can’t see how MSD would have any right to be involved in any due diligence as this is the sale of shares held by WBA Holdings LTD (Lai’s company)  whereas the loan and securities are with WBA Group (the club)

Another thing I hope the new owners do away with is all the fucking holding companies and splinter companies in our name. It would be nice to have that tidied up a bit too....

Did we own the "office" in London or was it jezza's personal property (possibly acquired with club money)
