Ani Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Teams are already into pre season. They do not have anyone even close. FV were named as preferred bidders for us mid June, deal was done end of August. So about 10 weeks, we had Anderson fucking about but god knows what they have to come out. It would be amazing if they managed to get it done in 6 weeks so likely they start the season at best with kids. Transfer window closes 1st Sept. So no idea what happens then if they are not fully sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Well, they have 5 weeks to: Officially buy and own the stadium. Buy the club and go through the various due diligence and EFL owners test. To pay all creditors 25p in the £. Get out of administration. Start to build a team... Tick Tock.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted June 24, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted June 24, 2022 They'll get sorted. Whether there will be much cash available for team building is another matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s if the buyout goes through quickly. I'd not sneer at £266m but I guess there's more to their business than money to piss away on a football club and clearing their debts. Still, sounds more promising for them than Kirchner ever did ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was close to Kirchner apparently and probably thought he'd be in a cozy situation having his mate as the owner. Now that picture has changed. I can't take anything away from the job he did while he was there though. Yes, they got relegated but he made a very good fist of it considering the obstacles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now all over the place. Well bloodhounded. He's not done that without a better offer &/or he's not vonvinced of any major turnaround. Who's got a vacancy in the Premiership or 2nd Division, that carries a bit of prestige. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantra Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I don't doubt that Clowes will be a shrewd business operator, but I like the fact that FV actually were seeking to acquire a football club as an investment and are making their decisions as such. From the sounds of his statement, it seems he felt more obliged to save them rather than doing it for commercial reasons. Be interesting to see how this one plays out.
