Some very very good News Regarding NEW OWNERS:

Sun Jul 20, 2025 9:22 am

The South African brought up in the UK / USA Very Very Wealthy and Backed by Billionaires as well has done a deal with Dalman after his visit to Monaco and has now put a fully revised Offer to Vincent Tan:

Tan wanted Dalman’s £38million sorted out Separately before anything further happened, it’s now done so over to Tan.

Vincent Tan has not said yes or has he said no.

They are coming back to CCS this coming week.

And hoping to meet Tan in person in London.

Big time in to football.


They are a fair way down the line. They have been respectful and kept it out of the press and really want to get the deal done.

Tan dependent now. I believe they are back in Cardiff this week and Steve Borley has been excellent in helping all parties.



I KNOW THIS:

They have watched and listened for months.


All Red Seats they intend to Remove.

They intend to bring Our Badge Back.

A massive clear out of current personnel.

Tan is the 98 percent shareholder of the club.
Surely any deal would have to go through him first not Mehmet????

Dhalman is owed around £40m so has a big say in how he gets his money back or shares in the new company :thumbup:

I'm going that he has accepted the share option.

That will mean no more interest to pay on the loan and the security value will rely on the success of the club. If Dalman does accept this then he must be confident of this move.

What remains is will he be invloved in any running of the club. I don't think so.

Explains the lack of signings.....just hope a swift deal is done as need to then allow the ownership EFL fitness tests...although maybe not as stringent as premiership?

That all sounds great, add in swapping the Canton and Family stand and there will be a huge uplift in atmosphere. Please please happen

Can a badge be changed mid season?

Re: Some very very good News Regarding NEW OWNERS:

Excellent news, hopefully it’s all 100% and not the usual bullsh*t being posted by Daya on X.

It’s probably been mentioned before but is Bale separate to these?

The main priority is for the right people with the right money taking us over but it would be a fairytale if Bale could also be involved?

I feel that is a tad unfair.

Steve has been a mainstay of this club for a very long time and is an ardent fan.

He was keeping us afloat when no one else was interested and due to his love of the club, has stepped back when bigger spending has come in.

As with many deals before, he is making himself available to help the deals and big up the club.

If on the back of that he gets a bit of money going his way then I say good luck to him.

Like him or not Dalman is NOT a money grabber, he has a unsecered loan of £40 million riding on this deal we need him onside. Ken Choo on the other hand is a total money grabber come freeloader.

Probably can just like we changed home colours. I reckon it’s unnecessary cost though

Re: Some very very good News Regarding NEW OWNERS:

Great news, hopefully they have the financial clout and commitment to take us to where the capital city of Wales belongs!

They would need to spend big next year if we got promoted.

Waiting for the post where Tan changes his mind and asks for more…. He’s been known to change his mind once or twice!!!

Agree. Complete clean sweep needed. I’m sure Borley has made an awful lot of money under Tan. Probably why he backed Tan with the rebrand because he knew there was money to be made. Some will say it’s harsh because he saved us 25years ago which is completely fine, I get it. But it’s time to freshen up in my opinion.

Re: Some very very good News Regarding NEW OWNERS:

Sun Jul 20, 2025 10:16 am

I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for good news, but I am still a bit sceptical.

There was a post the other day saying that people at the club had been told something was happening, but that no one knew anything because it was all very hush hush.

Now there are posts saying exactly what has happened, what is going to happen and what the new owners will do.

I think I would prefer to wait until it is confirmed by the club officially rather than get excited by unestablished rumours.

I really do not believe if this is going through that they have been discussing changing the badge or removing the red seats even though we would like this, there are far more important immediate problems to deal with like keeping our important experienced players and establishing a new budget with the manager so he can bring in the players he wants and needs.

It seems that some people on here are giving potential new owners instructions already.
