OutByEaster? Posted July 20, 2018 Moderator Share Posted July 20, 2018 Are we aware yet of how much of the club they've bought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems either could have bought us on their own. Wes (first names for my new pals) has some sports involvement, but not that much that he would be an expert brought in to help out. Have they done stuff together before? I've been looking into that too. I read an article (which I now can't find) about Nassef setting up a Sports company in which to do this kind of thing and I guess as Wes co-owns an NBA team, they may of met that way? There are photos on google with them both at the same location and event name tags etc!! I'd like to know that though, I know they found each other and approached Xia, just not how they know each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Gotta admit while I like Nassef Sawiris’s face I’m not to keen on the other guy. He looks dodgy. Not Wyness face dodgy though so not too concerned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying you don't know these things, just wondering how you know theses things without giving sources away. They'll be people on here and elsewhere that can vouch for certain things I've said to them privately, but I'm not really overly fussed what others think or believe in truth bud. In an ideal world we'd all just share what we know, but it's just not worth all the silly posts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much closer to 30/30/40 (xia) so overall a 60/40 controlling stake. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday there was a real possibility of going bust, today that has gone. Today is a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowychap Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Let's hope it all works out okay this time. Not convinced that Xia still hanging around (even if in name only) is great news but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) @terrytini Wes Edens just looks like a guy that has had to work 80+ hour weeks since he was in his early 20's to get to where he is now. He just looks old and tired to me. Edited July 20, 2018 by Daweii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
