Hi folks, posted this response on a recent thread on here. This is not an attack on the poster or those who have speculated, but i think its fair for us all to share what we know. Hopefully a few truths can be presented on this thread
Not name dropping, but with the large thread regarding a take over and then seeing this post, im in a rare position to comment on something i know about. I am related to DYLAN Matthews via marriage, and his son scott by blood. Although i have only ever spoke to terry a few times in 21 years i am in more regular contact with scott and less so but quite frequently dylan. I can categorically tell you this is not happening. I couldnt give a monkeys about who takes my word, but apart from golf and polo, events at celtic manor, terry's only real 'local' investment and proposal was to work in conjunction with the WRU under the Graham Henry regime fifteen years ago. Dylan has had small investment newport gwent dragons and was offered/approached to smaller installments in newport county. However only the rugby investment came to fruition. Terry is 90% of the time based in canada and has smaller input in canadian franchises, and although being out of the country wouldnt have a real bearing on the prospect of running a british footy club i can tell you that the only real investment if he were to make one would be a gwent based rugby investment. Failing that he would be more inclined to help out the jacks. After all he is an honoury president at his beloved swansea university! Im not saying a take over of some kind isnt in the process of happening, i can with regret tell you as a matter of solid FACT that he will not be investing in our club. I knew in advance of the investment dylan made in NGDragons, however that lacked any kind of interest apart from in rugby clubs and pubs. But with rumours of this kind on here i thought it appropriate to inform fellow BLUEbirds that unfortunately this isnt true.. wish it was.
