Stop checking planes from South Africa . The head of it was born there but has spent most of his life in the states and England







The South African billionaire was at the CCS today with his people.

They arrived in his £60m plane ( The Bombardier Global 6000 ) at Cardiff Airport.

They stayed at the CCS for a couple of hours speaking to Tan's people.


Good news is that Tan is negotiating at them and both sides are actually trying to get a deal done :thumbright:

They are determined to get a deal done before August, but as you know Tan can be hard to deal with.

Sounds really positive fingers and toes crossed a deal can be made and we can push on and forget the last few disastrous years

More good News Ned,

My only worry is Tan is very very hard to do business with.

At least we have 3 Different potential buyers.
:bluebird: :bluebird:
I believe these are the best for our future

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

I'm pretty sure Johan Rupert owned Saracens rugby club at one stage, he's also an ex cricketer and built a few golf courses, so seems he enjoys sports, says his estimated wealth is 15 billion so has a few bob lying around

Totally agree, but Tan has money and where has it got us, we are not a toy, GB would have is heart in it, like every City fan, he wants success.

Tan hasn't got £15bn. Tan is worth less than 5% of that

Wiki not always reliable but apparently he's an ex-cricketer and set up a sport foundation which he funds globally.

Also had 50% of the ownership of Saracens Rugby for ten years, which was a successful period for them.

So according to Forbes Johann Rupert is worth 14.3 billion US Dollars which is roughly 11 billion £'s. Not short of a few quid and did very well as part owner of Saracens when he joined in 2009 with the club winning 7 major trophies during his stay. Sounds promising that he has been trying to get us for a couple of years and that there are others also in the background
