Yesterdays meeting in Cardiff.... who did they meet???

Wed Jul 16, 2025 12:19 pm

If interested parties flew in for a meeting, who did they meet?

Tan obviously wasn't there, Dalman? Ken Choo?

Does this show that Tan isn't really taking it seriously if he's not there? I doubt he'd trust Choo to deal with something like this and Dalman probably has conflicting interests.

So did he just ask someone who's seriously looking at buying the club to meet with his lawyers? Hardly sounds like he's taking them seriously.

Would you be happy to part with £80m and not even meet the seller?

Absolutely right. Tan doesn't need to be there and the fact that 'someone' actually came to the stadium for a meeting gives me the impression that we could be close to something happening.

Totally get all that and agree, Tan wouldn't neccesarily want to meet everyone in person who has an interest in buying the club.

Just strikes me as it all being at a very early stage at the moment as I'd imagine he'll almost definitely want to meet them in person to finalise and agree anything.

Visiting ground is always good sign shows intent .... but I'm sure who ever visited is aware of how good ccs is guess it was more of a financial meeting what is not clear is was dalman at ground or did visitors go to him after whatever took place at ccs... if dalman is the last piece of jigsaw can't imagine him blocking anything as it's in his interest to get a deal done and remove tan.

The thing is people are over thinking. You dont travel half way across the world to talk prices etc.

They are at the later stages. This would like be simply to have a look around and finer details.

I think its further along than most believe.

Heard that the South African group being at the stadium yesterday was dismissed as false at a meeting tonight can anyone who was present there confirm if this was the case

Club officials will deny it because it suits them.

Why would they confirm that an group came to the stadium to discuss buying the club when the official line is that Tan has no plans to sell?

So I wouldn't take what club officials say on this as gospel.

They'll stick to their line until something is formally announced.

Well someone big was at ccs as think we've established flight was st Rhoose then went on to Nice no coincidence that dalman is at city and Monaco if someone got a better explanation like to hear it? But asked question other day why is there no reference to sale in any sports media Inc wol? Only reference was from Bale this is behond normal situation ... normally get story that someone wants to take a club over if not giving names what country from is generally used.

Think it is also worth noting that their arrival was on Monday - one of only two days when the Superstore is closed and no supporters around?

Paul have you ever heared of a takeover of a club shrouded in so much secrecy? I certainly haven't and only secrecy is the names really mystified...
