UPDATED: " TODAY AT THE CCS / THE FRONTRUNNER TO BUY US "

From my perspective the fact that they is so much silence makes me think something is happening. I truly believe we will wake up one morning to the news that the club has been sold.

CCFC have never been good at keeping things quiet but I suspect an all staff email has been sent advising not to comment.

There will be those on this board who know who all 3 bidders are but are keeping quiet so as not to prejudice any bids - and quite right to.

Ned is often right when he posts on here and if there was a Bombardier Global 6000 at CWL then I believe him.

Working out who it could be is the fun part and only time will tell as to whether his name has been mentioned or not

Agree with all of that Paul.

Don't mean to sound like a pessimist but couldn't the opposite also be said of this?

Patrick Soon-Shiong
Roelof Botha
David Sacks
Rodney Sacks/Schlosberg


Has to be one of these, surely!

What about Andrew Sachs(Manuel from Fawlty Towers).That would be about our level!!

What? A man who died in 2016?

Shocking!

you're 100% right to pull me on that but i never knew he had passed away let alone as long as 2016!!
I retract that remark

Apparently, a Bombardier Global 6000 left Cardiff Wales Airport yesterday and landed at Nice Airport in France

The plane’s registration is ‘private’, so the owner could not be identified. However, it is known that Cardiff City Chairman, Mehmet Dalman, lives in nearby Monaco, so it’s possible it could have been him transporting a new investor to the CCS for talks or a show around

Then again…

Another name mentioned is John Thorrington.

Born in SA but has spent most of his life in the US.

He is involved with LA FC. A club that Tan used to have shares in.

Coincidence maybe, but ticks a few of the boxes.

Sven, you have a point here, has it just been assumed it’s the South African bidders, or could actually have been Dalman showing his consortium around, perhaps his consortium is made up of Monaco residents,very rich people indeed.

Also the club that Gareth Bale played for

Let's hope we get something happening, we would all want G Bale"s team to buy the club, but...anything is better than Tan the man.

I’m not too bothered who buys us.

IF it turns out to be Johan Rupert then he is worth 17b (us) so he’s more than rich enough to take us upwards

You should be (bothered), as most people (some deny it) welcomed Tan with open arms after The Riddler, and look what happened next…

I think we were all duped into thinking Tan was our saviour and a very honourable man. Look how wrong we were

Well he did save us.

He certainly did, despite the protestations of some that he didn’t. However, what happened after that has been a mixture of good (promotion) and mostly bad (the red, poor management, poor decisions, seeming intransigence, and a diabolical attitude to ‘supporter liaison’

Very much so.

He literally could be the hero he wanted to be but instead is the total opposite.

We were more than 20 million in debt and a lot of season ticket money for the next few years had already been banked and wasted. Also when he took us over we had a squad full of loan players. Malky was employed and had to make massive changes to the squad and bring in a lot of players.

Slightly off city? Brentford owner selling some shares and that would value the club at £400m goes to show how much we could be worth if bought by right people.
