Gareth Bale Takeover Thread

Re: Talking of Takeover's - Gareth Bale part 2 UPDATED

We've got to do whatever we can to push this through the door. I give full support to Bale and his consortium and hope negotiations can be made.

What can we do? I don't think declaring support for Bale will make any difference.

What lunacy
Do you think we are the only club to have struggled - in fact we have done so for much of our existence having only been in the top flight for two seasons in the last 70. And it’s easy to list a whole number of clubs that are under achieving and an an even longer list if you ask the fans.
As has been said, we know nothing about who is in this consortium or their plans and commitment to the club. What will you say if they want to rebrand?
Clearly Tan has made mistakes but CCFC has cost him in the region of £250m and you and others expect him to take the first offer and walk away.
Let’s hope that the consortium offers an acceptable price, has the wherewithal to continue to fund the losses and an ambitious plan that they can deliver and fans buy into.

Re: Talking of Takeover's - Gareth Bale part 2 UPDATED

For the first time in years it looks as if Tan may have an offer that he may have to consider seriously.
Apparently there other groups sniffing around. Nathan Blake is involved with one of them and Dalman might be as well.

Re: Talking of Takeover's -Gareth Bale part 2

I don't know why everyone is getting so excited. Does Bale know how to run a football club?
Who's behind the bid? Do they know anything about running a football club?

While a new owner might be good it could also be bad. Until we know more about the people behind this I don't think we should be getting excited.

Have they actually got a decent budget, or do they just see a great opportunity while a club is relegated and the owner in a difficult spot, which is fine. Except that he's a stuborn old bugger and won't sell for a penny less than he feels it's worth.

I could go to the papers tomorrow, saying I made a superb offer (£20, but no one else would know that) and say it was rejected.

Time will tell, timing could be good, I'm sure Tans fed up with the whole thing, but it will have to be a realistic offer.

Re: Talking of Takeover's -Gareth Bale part 2

Yes but if he is just the public face of a consortium and not the man with all the money how much of a say will he have in how the club is run?

How much did the Glazrs put it, and how much of it was borrowed?

Thats the format a lot of US club investors use, so probably a bit more than my £20, but maybe not as much more as you would think.

Maybe Vinnie needs to name a realistic price, whether he gets all his money back or not. Think of us poor long suffering fans Vinnie my boy!

Blakey is involved? Where did you see that? And Dalman in another? It's all go :hehe:

Maybe they'l have the business acumen to not make losses. Imagine that.
