SOME GOOD NEWS AT LAST (EXCLUSIVE)

Sun Dec 06, 2009 11:34 am

I have just come off the phone and the Malaysian intend to take total Control of Our club, PR, Guy, Borley, Hall etc all gone, they want the Club 100% lock stock and Barrel and are prepared to pay 30p a share in January 2010 as long as Our Debt is cut at least in half.

They will then put millions in to Our Club.
So PR could yet pull of a masterstroke.

I wonder if they will want Dave Jones?

If Sam Hammam agrees a deal with Peter Ridsdale.

Bit gutted for Borley tbh. Can't he stay on the board? Surely we need at least one person who is a City fan who will stand up and say what's best for the club/fans?

If Sam signs the deal that's currently on offer, would that be enough for the Malaysians?

Are the Malaysians planning on introducing themselves to the fans at any point? You've only got to look at Portsmouth to see the danger of having owners who aren't visible.

Could be very good news!

it's been mentioned before though, if the malaysians want 100% control of club why wouldn't they pay off Sam's debt up front for a reduced settlement as part of the deal rather than leave it to pr/the club to sort out a repayment plan.
I thought they would have rather had the Sam/Langston situation out of the way, especially if they are genuinely looking at a 100% control of the club

Wouldn't PMG have to take a reduced amount as well to cut the debt in half ?

Hope it does happen for the sake of the club.

Who have you just come off the phone from mate? I also got told this information yesterday. PMG will be bought out at a nice tasty profit for them, Sam however will have to take a big cut in what he's actually owed (like him on not he's been stuffed by PR and PMG). The thing that is bothering me, is that PMG now seem to have somehow got the rights to income from the retail park, whereas in Sam's original plan this was the income that was going to fund the club. Would love someone to tell me that I'm wrong, but I believe this to be the case.

The retail park was sold off in order to pay for the stadium.

It was only a dream that the club would ever get the rentals off it.

After all the shit that Borley has seen and been through, I wouldn't mind betting he'd be glad to get of the board and getting back to becoming a 'normal' fan again. I bet he'd do a good book mind :lol:

Re: SOME GOOD NEWS AT LAST (EXCLUSIVE)

Annis, as you stated earlier in the week, Sam still loves the club. Do you think he loves it enough to sign and walk away?

Re: SOME GOOD NEWS AT LAST (EXCLUSIVE)

Sun Dec 06, 2009 2:29 pm

First post. If Sam signs i hope a lot of fans will begin to realize where it all started {Sam Hammam the summer of 2000 }.

They could be revolutionary and incorporate fan representation in their structure. In reality, would cost them nothing financially or in terms of control, and would certainly win them plaudits.

In My Opinion Sam will sign as if he does not we will eventually go Bankrupt and he will get nothing half a loaf is better than none.

Fair play to Ridsdale if he pulls this off, he will done everything he set out to do and will have served us well.

I know he will have earned a fortune, but to get the ground built, debt gone and a new investment worth millions will be fantastic.

It has to happen, fingers crossed, there's never a dull moment being a City fan !!!!

Re: SOME GOOD NEWS AT LAST (EXCLUSIVE)

It goes without saying that we need this investment, hopefully of the "lock, stock, barrell" variety that is mentioned, but I would urge a note of caution. Takeovers are not devoid of risk and we would be naive to believe everything will be rosy under the Malaysians. The off field problems at so many of the clubs who have been taken over are almost endless, Liverpool, Portsmouth, Newcastle, West Ham, even Man United to a degree have all had massive issues haing been led to believe that takeovers were the best thing since sliced bread. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather take our chances under the Malaysians rather than the status quo, but bewrae what we wish for guys.

Re: SOME GOOD NEWS AT LAST (EXCLUSIVE)

Mon Dec 07, 2009 12:22 pm

An official statement would be nice from our Malaysian friends.

Including a statement that they will honour the 5 year season ticket price freeze if they take control. This will then give a lot of people confidence and they may well part with their hard earned cash to take advantage of the offer. This will put more money in the "pot" some of which could be pointed towards SH in an effort to get him to sign......what did he say to Annis....."it's about what is best for the club" !!!! I wonder how he will view this statement ?
