Seems several people have been told that there is three bidders, Bale's group not thought to be the preferred choice with Tan possibly even being ready to / has made a deal with a group as yet unknown. I heard similar last night and was told it was in strictest confidence, but minutes later it's online almost as fact.

As NCB speculates this could be why there are no new signings yet as there are boardroom issues to solve first. You see how messy it can get at other clubs. When it looks like sales of the club is going ahead the outgoing owners don't want to pay for things anymore and the incoming party won't pay as it's not their business yet.

All speculation and rumour until something more concrete is reported.
I'd settle for a season of 'treading water' if the club is under new ownership. I don't doubt there are 3 interested parties but what makes Cardiff City such an attractive proposition all of a sudden ? Discounted value due to relegation perhaps, or does the allure of a capital city etc. have positive benefits for prospective buyers ?
