Other board poster says meeting called and club will be sold?

Goes on to say he's messaged ***** on facebook to see if he can find out through his contacts:sherlock:
How much truth will be in this news? Or are the hits low so needed a story :hehe:

Sold to Craig Bellamy.

LOL.

Bellamy has no where near enough wedge to fund that.

It's true

:hehe:

As long as it hastens a return to red, I'm all in favour

From be told, to not being reliable, you couldn't make it up. A reply to the op.

Trouble is they make up a lot on that board.

:tumbleweed:

Probably complete bollocks, but that said, when someone mentioned on here that we'd be changing our kit to red, we all laughed......

Truth is, anything is possible with City

Headline about Tan selling club to Bellamy - or consortium with Bellamy attached - granted with a question mark.

Then admission that the source is unreliable.

Finally settles on 'news' of a club staff meeting tomorrow that the OP 'don't think it's going to be good news'

Move along. Nothing to see here....

:hehe:

Comical isn't it.

"Would you like to buy us *****" :hehe::hehe::hehe:

The story may be bollocks but what interest does Vincent Tan have in the club since the reversal of the rebrand? Still spending massive amounts of money on a loss-making business that he hardly ever visits is surely untenable for him.

:hehe:

"speculation amongst some academy staff is the club is being sold"

Well you can't argue with that....

Hear, hear. Also change the badge - get rid of the bluebird, replace it with an image of Max Boyce.

That Wez fella posted it, he's the thickest poster by far over there and I would take anything he says as nonsense. Surprised he's talking football, he's usually too busy being a racist. :hehe:

I don't think anyone disagrees with that but would Tan call a staff meeting to tell them? I doubt he gives a shit, it's more likely they'd call one to mention redundancies.

I have no idea about the veracity of this rumour whatsoever. I just think that Tan has very little incentive to hold on to the club unless continuing parachute payments reduce rather than increase his losses in the short term.

The meeting has probably been called to tell staff that their work is either going out to tender or to invite them to apply for their jobs at a lower rate of pay. I can't see anyone buying the club unless Tan is prepared to sell along similar lines to Philip Green selling BHS for a £1.

We need to get this Cardiffian to buy us (richest Welshman alive)...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Moritz

Has an interest in footie too...

http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/67638032-6...06ccb37f2.html

From this piece - Moritz says he is “an enormous believer in the power or the ability of an individual to do dramatic things with any organisation.”

Can someone send him a text?

We need to be careful that he's not too Welsh. He might change our shirts bright red and put a big Welsh Dragon on our badge...

I bet his real name is Morris so Mike are you him?

I'm sure this is click bait bullshit, but out of interest, what is the current debt level of the club? Has any of the announced conversion to shares happened yet? I'm just wondering how much money any potential invester would need to purchase the club.

Easy.

Set up a limited company, Stick a tenner in of your own money, then borrow £100m off a bank, leveraged against the club. You get to own a football club, the bank makes a few quid, club pays the debt.

I'm surprised no one else has thought of this before.

:hehe:

Is it possible Tan's plan is to run us cheaply as possible, establish in the premier league, convert debt to equity and sell for a profit? At that point he can go to America and take a much larger stake in the club that he's a part of over there.
