They have to tell the others, but don’t have to tell us.



Obviously not annis as fans last to know! :o but must assume s African is preferred bidder... given Bale was not highest bud

Thank you Annis, I think you’re spot on and correct with the statement as usual, hope that lad Tan sees sense! Keep up the good work keeping us all informed with the the accurate information :thumbup:

Yes he’s under Contract and yes he can refuse to be sold or we can refuse to sell him either way.


He may refuse to be sold but the club would have ways of forcing him to go whether he wants to or not.

The manager (who seems to be another in a line of managers so desperate for a job that they'll put up with whatever Tan wants them to do) could be told not to select Salech or make him train with the reserves if he refused to be sold.

Don't forget how David Marshall was sold against his wishes - he was heartbroken when forced to leave for the relatively paltry sum we received for him.

Hopefully we can hang on to Salech Robertson.. bring in a couple of free agents/ loanees .

we can’t have another situation where the owner sold players to line his own pockets.. like the Graham kavanagh situation.


In fairness to Sam I don't think the sale of Kav to Wigan was to "line his own pockets" :o

The club was losing money hand over fist at the time and there was the famous story of Kav travelling by helicopter to sign for Wigan in order to get the transfer monies (about £400k if I remember) into the club's coffers to pay running costs.

It was quite a shock to Kav at the time too!

Great news that none of the buyers have been put off and they are all still circling.

Your comments defo confirm though that BBM was not the clubs first choice to be manager, more the only one that would work with no budget. Hope to God he comes good.

Really need to keep Salech now. No1 is gonna be able to handle him in league 1. Keeping Robertson would be great too but Salech will be key. Would Tan really be that stupid and sell our prized asset when he's possibly close to selling the club??? It would be a nice parting gift, a nice dig in the ribs...but to see the back of him, I think I'd take anything.

He won't sell otherwise risks buyers pulling out something tan will not want... once sold family silver got nothing else to sell so he'll lose even more money and any more cost cutting will lead to relegation and loss of even more money... so it's on his interest to keep buyers on board.

Annis, the no money is true I think.

Des was just about to be installed as manager (as stated by Worcester) and I was very happy with that. Apparently he was told various things about money being available for players. This caused delay and he was given no guarantees about money and was told it was unlikely there would be money so he respectfully dropped out.

That came from someone close to Oxford United so not sure if true.

That doesn’t make it any better. Worse if anything. Kav was worth far more than 400kz

BUT the buyers None of them have gone away and are all still wanting us.

As I said yesterday The South African has spoken to Dalman about if a deal can be reached.

Tan though intends to Trim Our Whole Club even more so that it can reach as low as a loss if £5Mill a year.

BBM, NO Money at all Available, But he knew this when he took the job, that’s why it took so long to find a Manager.

If a good offer for Salech comes in, he will be Sold to make it a Zero loss for Tan this season.



Dint forget Dalmans Consortium still want US.



VERY POSITIVE NOTE:

The South African has come this far and he 100% Still Wants is and So does Bales Consortium.


Can't wait for tan to move on now annis .I really hope a deal can be done for a new owner to come in and freshen things up and give us some new investment.
As for selech we have spent years looking for this player it's just so negative to even think about selling him .
We be back to square one again .
If he goes ill really be annoyed big time not sure I'll even go down .

Sooner tan goes the better mate
