Argies do want to take over , get rid of the board!

[jezzer]

Just had a message from horses mouth that board have been aware of Argie interest since beginning of year, if we get falmer they`ll want to make a takeover bid and oust the current board. I want falmer but not if it means we lose the very people that helped get us the chance. Worried a bit now.

I wouldn't trust the argies anyway, not after the Archer/Belloti fiasco.

The horse's mouth? You have a direct feed to Dick Knight that you are not telling us about? Do tell.

Did he say 'Neigh lad' ?

Did he say 'Neigh lad' ?

Did he have to 'saddle us' with that comment?

If the Argies do take over, I suppose we'll be keeping the same shade of blue for our kit we've had this season...

As we are not a plc, as much as we welcome investment (Richard Branson, Virgin Stadium) no-one can actually come in and takeover the club just like that anyway, can they? I would hope that the fans have a say, and I wouldnt imagine Dick and Martin being happy to relinquish control unless there were serious safeguards in place to protect the future of the club, and no disrespect to the argentinians, but if they want the present board ousted after all they`ve done, then it doesn`t augur well for their feelings about the club or their intelligence in thinking this would be a good way of gaining support for a takeover.

Big articles on Maradona in some papers this weekend - very positive portrayal of him - kicking the drugs, losing weight, etc. Wonder if his PR people are building him up?

Saw an article in the Times where an interviewer had a real go about Lord Des Lynam - probably a Palarse fan anyway.

Yes, I think we could be being taken for a ride !

Saw that too, seemed to me he was just making something out of nothing

I still think this story has as much credence as the Gadaffi/Palace story last year.

You can disbelieve all you like, but I havent posted on here for months and the message came from a very reliable source within the club who hardly ever offers information. Seriously worried about it. Source not a gossip monger like most on here.

I think its positive that people can see the potential in the club.
I'm sure it will come to nothing, but if someone is willing to chuck big bucks at the club, I don't see it as a bad thing.

 

[Lewesian Seagull]

Ossie Ardiles & Paul Miller as part of a consortium are brokering a deal to purchase a 45% stake in the club. This is from a source within the club.

But you're hardly likely to post and then say "oh, by the way, it's just a load of bollocks that I made up to pass the time", are you?

But the board won't budge unless the terms of the takeover are met, no matter how much dosh. And one of the terms is 'no single majority shreholder'.

If they were REALLY keen to show their intentions, they would have put some money in by now as a show of goodwill.

Don't worry, they will not be able to buy Knight out. He will be looking to cash-in on the planning approval.

Why? I doubt if they will trust their money to Knight.

I think we would all agree with that. Re, your earlier post, it's plausible that the board may have heard whispers and rumours of interest, but the thing is, they probably get hundreds of these rumours fed to them by well-meaning and not-so-well-meaning people every year.

They really have to disregard them all until they get a confirmed approach, and that's what is lacking right now - and that is a cause for concern if these investors are serious in their ambitions.
