Tayls Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 The current owners will agree to the revised terms after some fan pressure... walking away is one of the oldest tricks in the book when it comes to negotiations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what i think too. They put pressure on them and fans turn then they are more willing to listen. Just a shame this has come abiut now not earlier because they probably have enough to stay up now. Im pretty sure they only signed the likea of trusty hannibal on loan because of Richardson and lopez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They found something in the Due Diligence process and the tried to renegotiate. Sellers wouldn't (probably couldn't) I reckon they're technically insolvent. They'll be gone and soon.

Demitri_C Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I think maybe lopez and Richardson didnt realise how **** thw club is in terms of debt and how much money they were losing. They didnt have the money needed so tried to get it cheaper but the owners wouldnt budge so they thought stuff this and walked. They obviously tried getting investment elsewhere but failed as if you got money why would you invest in a a shithole that has a team thats worth less than nakamba, no money, big debt a stadium thats falling apart and a small fanbase full of chavs? There are much better options than sty Andrews. Surely they cant escape punishment as they have broken rules again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post fightoffyour Posted December 2, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) Hang on, so someone invested just enough money to knock the stadium down and leave the piles of rubble sitting there then walk away. Are we sure they aren’t DVBs, mate? Edited December 2, 2022 by fightoffyour 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) Their books might be bad but Richardson takeover was never going to happen anyway as going by those that have some sort of inside track as to what's going on his consortium don't have the money, the money they've put into the club up until now has been borrowed, they agreed a deal for a partial takeover but needed additional investors, had until November 30th to get that funding but additional funding hasn't come, so deal now off. Almost everytime a prospective new owner goes public to a large degree before a takeover is complete then the deal eventually collapses and doesn't go ahead, Richardson was posting all over social media in the summer, holding press conferences in carparks, having his photo taken with new signings and 'zulus' and talking as if he was already their new owner before any deal had gone through, serious buyers don't do that kind of thing, more often than not you don't hear about them until everything is agreed and been cleared. What could be worrying for them is if the people who borrowed Richardson the money want it back, might have to sell a few of their promising youngsters in January.
