So bates has said talks are at an advanced stage and that the deal should be finished soon.....Bith he and the investors are sorry about not meeting the deadline in August. He said the investors are a bank but can't name them. Still think he is just doing this to get the crowds to ER
is he spinning a bit? - yes do I think the essentials are true (still negotiating, buyers/investors are a finanical institution of some sort)? - yes
what concerns me is the use of the word investors rather than buyers. hope i am reading too much into it
Am i the only one who thought the interview seemed a little forced? Like someone had a (theoretical) shotgun in his back. Maybe he got forced to post this?
No, I think he's hacked off with LUST, & feels the need to say as much as he can within the confines of the confidentiality agreement. Time will tell. But if there are 4 strange faces in our bit of the VIP area, it would support his comments that the investers are over to try & sort things out. The one worry would be if it's investment as opposed to a takeover. Time will tell, but at least we're winning at the moment.
Its "Investment" no doubt leading to Ken no longer having a majority share holding, but with no one party holding enough to warrent declaration to the Football League. With Ken remaining as a figure head of the club..... Or in other words, it will be another Bates ownership merry go round.
A mate of mine was playing golf today with someone associated with the club, just another rumour but he said he was adamant that 7-10 days there will be an announcement.
