Takeover soon?

Re: Takeover soon?

This is a heavy load you're dragging around with you mate. Let it go, you'll find you're a lot happier once you stop dragging things along that aren't all that important to your day to day life.

Must take a LOT of energy to dislike someone this much.

quite the leap mate but glad to see you must agree with my points. I’ll sleep easy, it won’t change any time soon with the court case but do admit I find it baffling when people claim we’re lucky to have him as owner. Take care

It's not really a leap, you are dragging it around with you, it can't be healthy.

Aye, 10 posts about it for the first time in as long as I can remember, think a CCMB intervention may be needed

Re: Takeover soon?

As an aside to the takeover talk, I learned last week that Mehmet Dalman now lives in Monaco. There was no reason for me to disbelieve the person who told me this, but I Googled it anyway and it turns out Dalman has in fact lived in Monaco for some time.

So, City's owner lives and operates in Malaysia, as do the mysterious board members Marco Caramella, Derek Chin and Danni Rais. The club's Chairman lives in Monaco. The CEO spends much of his time overseeing Tan's car dealership in London, where Dalman is also a director. Jalil Rasheed became a director of CCFC in July 2021, but has already resigned without ever attending a game. Which leaves Steve Borley as the only director who is actually based in Wales.

What a set-up.

Borley the puppet, may as well live in Malaysia.

If we are taken over, brilliant. We have become a bit like a stale marriage where the one side has forgiven the other for banging a bartender on a weekend away, but deep down the bitterness remains (for me, and a lot of my mates anyway)

For all his wealth, Tan hasn’t really grasped how to run a club properly yet, or he doesn’t seem to put the right people in place.

Any bored Hollywood actors with cash to throw away. There’s at least 30 listed with $250m available.. Seems to be working up north.

Will Smith may have time on his hands now.
Also William "the slap" Smith has a Welsh twang to it.

William “slapper” Smith would be better in my opinion. Let’s not mess this up, his investment depends on it.

For years i have been asking the club , on a regular and frequent basis, what the Malaysian based directors contribute to CCFC. The club has always refused to say , I believe on the basis that the answer rhymes with Porthcawl.
However , it is possible that one or more of them receives directors` remuneration from the club as the 20/21 audited accounts show £550k of such remuneration of which £413k was paid to the highest paid director, leaving £137k of payments to other director(s). In 19/20 the figures were £507k and £215k. On the assumption that Ken Choo is the likely highest paid director and on the basis that Mehmet Dalman stated in a meeting with fans in October last year that he receives no salary from CCFC , then it must be either Steve Borley and/or one or more of the Malaysian based directors that was paid for services unknown.
M Dalman may not get a salary as he has stated but he does get management fees through his company WMG Funds Ltd. In 20/21 those fees were £297k

Re: Takeover soon?

I don't know about Leekes, but CCFC are still leasing the training facilities at the Vale according to this:

There are all sorts of things down there now - an FAW pavilion, a WRU centre of excellence, ten different pitches, etc.

Nice research Dave 👍

Surely leasing a facility is far more cost effective than building our own

Re: Takeover soon?

Maybe we'll ultimately know how good/bad an owner Tan is or has been when he eventually leaves the club. If he leaves demanding to be repaid everything he's put in then he'll go on my shitlist alongside Jim Davidson and Obafemi Martins

have to hope he doesn't threaten to shut down the club and kill it and then 20 years on try and sue us for the umpteen time
