So. is the Bale led consortium out now?

Thanks Annis and Worcester for keeping us updated from things you guys hear out there!

It seems the South African group are leading the race and by the sounds of it, on paper they have more money than the Bale led group, but we have not seen all the details regarding that but seems to be the case.

For me hopefully the Bale led consortium is not dead yet, I personally would like Gareth involved within the football club in some kind of role, he of course has some much smaller business interests within Cardiff as a city, and expanding his portfolio investing in businesses now in a wide range of sectors, seems to have a good business brain outside of football, and I feel he will be successful in business and his net worth will continue to grow.

Anyway, a club is only worth what some rich cats are willing to pay, and seems the South African consortium are very much leading this race, and either one of them will be great to get over the line! I don’t know why, just hoped it would be the Bale led one.

Anyway, the good news is, this seems to be making good progress, and we are getting closer to new owners who want to revest large amounts of money, and try again for the Premier League dream.

Fair Enough, I work with Americans daily and over the years I have been asked a lot about Wrexham, from many different parts of the US, I speak to them about Cardiff, and they have no clue, but Wrexham over the years have built up a big USA fan base, drives revenue and they can spend money and stay within FFP rules etc.. depending on the league they are in, but I understand it can be a circus like you say.

If done well like Wrexham it can be a huge benefit in the modern day to any football club, I don’t think Snoop Dogg will have the same effect but more people will sadly know where Swansea is off the back of it, and it will drive some revenue of course, but Wrexham have the well liked film stars and now have so called fans all over the place, so it can build a huge brand.

Still hope for Bale personally, but none celebrity owners with lots of money, will do 100%

I'm only going on what I read hear about way they treat football only got look at premier league franchises mentioned playing in usa also no promotion relegation all driven by American owners... which is getting perilously close to 14 the tipping point for majority needed to change things! Let's hope new regulator as teeth to stop them? As for Wrexham would be totally different from any other American takeover be difficult yo replicate now even if had "A list" ownership like Brad Pitt ! As for swans that's going nowhere anytime soon but looking at their statements they are hoping to cash in on modric's knowledge/contacts and dogs media profile as hes got 100m followers but there is very little money involved ... anyway its all over social media about takeover...

They were NO Where near in their Bids.

For me it was a big publicity stunt, BUT HELPED BIG TIME IN PUSHING THE SALE OF OUR CLUB.

Annis wonder if potential owners bring him in as ambassador or similar yo give yhem more credibility? Just a thought

Great the publicity helped, gutted seems Bale won’t happen, but excited we look to be getting close to something very well financially backed up, with a chance of good progress.

If Bales bid was well off the mark, do we assume the price is going to be well above £40m to £50m, then?

I thought I read the Bale bid was very fair, so I'm surprised Annis is now saying he was nowhere near the valuation?

Bale said he thought the offer was more than fair. So god knows what these South Africans have offered.

Mention in x that Otto is trying to get Bale involved. No brainer for the winning consortium really. Fingers crossed

Allan,

They might as my friend they asked to who you all know, had to Decline as he’s with another Club, but in the Premiership.
I will reveal his name once this deal is done.

Thanks to Bale, it’s pushed this deal forward

I said that.

But Tan did not accept or even think about it.

I think the Bale consortium will give it one more go, but like you say, god knows what the South African group have committed to, but based on many they appear to be leading the race so far and seem close, money talks, but Bale’s consortium will have a limit of course and if it does not make sense to bid way over the odds to them. as it would seem they won’t.

If they don’t get city, I am sure another club will come on their Radar but hopefully even if the South African’s take over the club, they hopefully see involving Bale in some way as a good thing and give him the option To be involved in some way.
