Wish they would tell us. All this secrecy makes the Iron Curtain look like a blabbermouth! Gets all our hopes up to possibly find we've ended up with the same mob that got us in this mess.

It seems that you're right, though on reflection I don't seem to remember any rumour coming from any of the TUFC sites that actually turned out to be true. I might have missed something though, and of course all rumours help with the straw clutching.
It seems also that there will be no fanfare from the bidders unlike the Wrexham crew. let us hope we are not back to square one and are going to be treated like mushrooms again!

Ok, consider me the preferred bidder for a moment. Now ,I get my accountant and solicitor to go through the accounts and company set up with a very fine tooth comb,considering the previous set uo I would probably pay to have fine combing done twice .That will take a few days. Assuming their are no black holes that havent been disclosed I may consider waiting a week or so to see what league we are in, it will make a huge difference to the overall business plan, staffing etc.
So I am not expecting anything until well into next week or even later.

That is why I alluded to the Wrexham crew. If our bidders were of the same ilk we could expect a meteoric rise in our fortunes, but if they are as you surmise checking where every penny is coming from and going to, our rise (if any) could be rather different!culmstockgull wrote: ↑13 Apr 2024, 13:45 Ok, consider me the preferred bidder for a moment.

And Wrexham owe about £9 million in loans to their owners I believe.

The club and fans really could do with some good news regards new owners before the game with Taunton. It would lift the players and supporters right behind the team.
Or have the new owners done a runner as the trap door opens?

Wrexham are now in Division one after consecutive promotions, so £9 million well spent me thinks. We spent almost two thirds of that and look like we're heading for consecutive relegations, so money not so well spent.
A Mike Bateson type owner (which is probably what we'll get) is fine for stability, and he kept us in the league for more years than I can remember. We are no longer in the league though, and being stable, and possibly part-time in the non-league is not something I am looking forward to.

I would think it unlikely that there will be any announcement regarding a potential owner until our fate was decided.
We need to keep our eye on the ball for Tuesdays match.

Seen the picture and it does for all world appear to be Chris Dawson. Really quite unbelievable that he could be involved.

Wondered what the Chris Dawson connection could be, didn't realise he was born in Plymouth and I guess they're not available.
