So what do we believe....

Fri Jul 04, 2025 2:16 pm

And before anyone has a pop.. i am not having a go at anyone or doubting anyone's information... its obviously what they have been told and shared.

So last few weeks we've been told a first bod was sent at 40m then the trust and the idiots @ WO say nothing been sent.

Then this bid has been sent at 20m (a second bid) but "officially" the first bid but I've seen as high as 85m which tan is going to say no.

So what we have is somewhere between 20m-85m 1 or 2 bids, Tan is willing to talk but is going to say no.

I personally believe we're further along than what is being spoon fed out. & this is going by Bales own words in his interview.

The only people who know are the board, and the consortium themselves.

The ins and outs of any offer at this stage are not going to be public and rightly so.

WalesOnline, other media, the ‘ITK’ (supposedly) crowd on here can speculate what they want, but at the end of the day they know the same as you and I. Absolutely nothing.

You may know (quote) “nothing” but I can assure you that one or two people on here with strong links to some within and around the club, are not a million miles away

Reliable sources say a bid has been tabled and rejected (I think the club have acknowledged that?) and ‘other figures’ discussed to ‘test the water’ before a decision is made on whether to raise the stakes again

As Bale himself said, they are ‘hopeful’ a deal can be reached, and it seems others are watching developments closely as a gauge to Vincent Tan’s selling point

Nothing to get too expectant about quite yet, but the different sides are getting closer to bridging the gap! :ayatollah:

Is that good or bad?
With 3 tan can use it to get a bidding war and push up the price, which may or may not end up being the best of the 3 for the club’s future?

Annis, would you prefer Bale’s group or one of the others from what you know of these interested parties? Do the other 2 have substantial backing in comparison?

I know for a fact one, Bales because he spoke on it, interesting there are two more, I would love Bales because he cares about the city and will have Cardiff’s best interest at heart, do you know what country the other two are from, USA, middle east etc.. :bluebird:

Do you know if all of them are American-based bidders?

i don’t hold out any hope until at least next year
