Re: Bale interview about 2nd offer

Looks like redbird are very busy!

https://news.sky.com/story/all3media...-firm-13395115

Notable investments include:

Fenway Sports Group (Boston Red Sox, Liverpool FC, Pittsburgh Penguins, New England Sports Network);
Skydance Media and its pending acquisition of Paramount and CBS;
Artists Equity (Ben Affleck and Matt Damon);
European footballÂ’s A.C. Milan, the second most winning Champions League team in history;
Yankees Entertainment & Sports Network (New York Yankees and Amazon); and
United Football League (UFL) (Dwayne Johnson, Fox, Disney)

Maybe Bale's move to the States wasn't such a waste of time after all if it is Redbird behind the bid

But would we become the Redbirds if they take us over?

they own AC milan and Toulouse - Milan they bought for 1,2 bn - they certainly have the money, but if it was this group that bought us, we'd be a very small part of their portfolio

Whoever is behind the funding for the Bale led bid are clearly no mugs. They’ve played a blinder getting him involved from the very beginning.

If it is true that Tan has three offers on the table, then either of the other two groups would be off to a bad start if they end up taking over the club.

Regardless of paying more to Tan, could you imagine if a Dalman led consortium now takes over Cardiff? The dejection amongst the supporters would be awful, given the likelihood of continuing the same incompetent running of the club, whilst fully aware we’ve lost out on Bale’s involvement.

I think it’s probably time now for ‘the customers’ to have their say and let it be known who they want as the next custodians of Cardiff City.

Re: Bale interview about 2nd offer

From what we have heard from the trust and from Bale I just get the impression Tan isn't interested and there is no dialogue between the club and the potential buyers.

A bit like some random guy saying he has slid into (insert any attractive celebrity female) dm's for a fourth time and is eagerly awaiting any response.

I just don't see this happening this season sadly.

They may be playing a blinder in getting Bale involved at this stage but, if the takeover does happen, he could be dropped completely his front man job having been done. In any case, what does Bale know about running a football club ? If he hangs around after what use might he be in rectifying the abysmal way Tan runs the club ? When Messrs Reynolds and McElhenney took over Wrexham they got Peter Moore, the former Liverpool CEO in to help them set things up. That's the sort of expertise we need now.

Yes we should make it clear that this is "our" club and not some mega rich guy's play thing on a whim and a prayer.

You get Bale in,
You get Tan out,
Bale in, Tan out, and shake it all about.
You do the Ayatollah and we turn around,
That’s what its all about.

An experienced (and full time!) CEO is absolutely key, and hopefully whoever takes us over, whenever that is, realises that. I'm sure Bale isn't planning on actually running the club, but he could remain involved in the style of Reynolds and McElhenney.

Not sure how we do that, or why Tan would care.
If he sells, I’d expect it to be to the highest bidder. As others have said in other threads I don’t think he will sell, not because he wouldn’t be tempted, but because his valuation will be unrealistic

Tans already tried that and backed down 😁

Re: Bale interview about 2nd offer

Anyone think that Bale speaking about this so openly, if a tad unprofessional, and not how this sort of thing should progress.
