Some will decide to be downbeat about the chances of this deal going through, but all the signs from the people who are reliable point to a positive outcome.
People also need to realise that selling a football club is not like selling a car, it takes time for all the t's to be crossed. There has to be a degree of patience from us all.
We have waited a long time for a new ownership group, so a little longer to wait is not a big issue if we get the right outcome - which appears to be the case.
So I am feeling positive about the whole situation.

So, I finally got to listen to last night’s interview with Annis, and I found it to be a pretty good listen![]()
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yocPABuwA ... e=youtu.be
But what did we learn that’s new?![]()
Well, for me, it mainly confirmed what I’d been told elsewhere, by different people to Annis, and different people to Lakey (Tony Rivers), i.e. there is 100% a ‘bid’ (or bids) in for the club, and the ‘preferred bidder’ is some considerable way down the line with their due diligence, acceptable offer, and other negotiations with Vincent Tan, who is himself pleased with the offer (a huge hurdle overcome) and with the privacy with which the talks have been carried out
Why would such high profile people, Annis/Lakey, etc. come out so vociferously on these bidders, if they weren’t more than confident in the information! On a personal level, it wouldn’t make any sense to ‘make it up’, would it?
The work of two individuals (one already named but not sure about the other) has been immense, and when/if this ‘deal’ is completed, they will deserve high praise!
It is clear that the ONLY obstacle to this deal going ahead is Vincent Tan himself, but for it to get this far with Vincent getting pretty much what he wants, therefore providing a reputation-ally intact exit, it is felt that this deal will be the one that succeeds
These are not ‘stories’, they are close to spot on, with maybe small anomalies, and like me, loyal Bluebirds should be very upbeat at the moment
It may still take some time (it’s not like buying a house) but the future is looking somewhat rosier than it has for some time!
Keep the faith, fellow Bluebirds!

At this current moment still all going well, waiting on Tans lawyers etc

Are you still confident in the deal happening Annis?
Hoping and praying the consortium pulls it off. Fresh start, fresh ideas and all the fans united as one is needed. Even better if the new consortium will listen to fans, and not treat us as “customers”.

Not answering for Annis, but you ask a good question![]()
Currently, everything is going very well and the consortium are pushing on. However, as previously stated, Rome wasn’t built in a day and timings (if meetings, appointments, etc.) need to be changed. This won’t be an overnight purchase and we all need to be a little patient when there is little or no news for a few days, maybe (hopefully not) even weeks)
