Conway out Facebook group official statement

They definitely can't talk the talk. Whether they can walk the walk or not, I've no idea, but if they're a serious proposition their communication and chosen platform to present it is just plain dumb. It makes me believe it's simply not real, but I can't evidence that.

 

I've read that as nonsense.

As Jay says, how can you have funds in place and have no idea what the potential asking price is? Why would you have tens of millions of pounds just sat there waiting to be executed? If it was from some form of lending, why on earth would they approve something in principle without disclosure of an asking price or a willingness to sell?

The transaction process has an initial stage coming to a heads of agreement. As part of the process, proof of funds will be required and from where they are derived.

I don't know who's written it, but its amateur hour. Very poorly worded and the slant is more defensive than providing clarity of any form.

 

We can't know for sure, but this reads to me like utter baloney. Would you expect a favourable negotiation while alluding to your negotiating partners' "four years of mis-management"? What signals have there been that PMG etc want out? What interpretation can you put on PMG's objection to the title qualifications other than that their plans involve something other than football? Would a serious bidder really publicise their intent like this? Don't think so.

 

If you were this luke all you would need to do is google the said person/people who have come to you wanting to buy the club. Anyone who has 10million to spend on a football club would come up on a search. Hopefully it comes off get them out.

 

The first thing you do if you're interested in buying something is enquire if its for sale and then get into basic discussions. NDA's would need to be in place (well, for any serious discussion).

Granted, it could be someone (or a group) who just don't really know what they are doing, are naïve in the extreme and haven't been involved in an acquisition before. But they should have advisors to guide them.

This just doesn't feel like it rings true. And that's before getting into analysing the text and how its main line is to defend the facebook group and then saying we won't say anything else. Why would a consortium defend a facebook group, say we have the money (despite not knowing the likely bid needed) now we're not going to tell you anything else?

 

This Conway Out Facebook group is all a bit Amateur Hour at the moment to me,

either that or it's going to rumble on like this for a few weeks.... then on the 1st April announce a Big April Fool "Gotcha!". It's all very clever

 

Worth pointing out, the statement was written by Luke and someone else(can’t remember his name) and was given to the potential buyers to agree to.

Doesn’t change anything you have put as you’d think they would amend etc.

 

Ok Noel.

 

Same here, plus it’s laced with typographical errors.

 

my name's Jeremy. Beadle. Watch Out

 

Doesn’t feel right. Anyone who has a genuine interest in buying the club to run better than current owners wouldn’t be washing (part of) this laundry on social media. I would also suggest any official statement would come from an official representation, typically solicited or media org managing comms. Anyone with funds and acumen to run the club will have access to both. I am confused if they support the Facebook site or not, is it driven by them or not, did they seek fan feedback and what are they acting on? I don’t know.

Despite my feelings I am open minded. However I am seeing and hearing nothing that helps me make any decision on whether this will be something I would support. I’m not confident in the future of our club right now whatever happens.

 

But wouldn't you conclude hopefully amicable negotiations with the selling party before you attempted to get others behind you?

 

I don't get the angst towards the group. I've nowt against them. I won't buy it hook line and sinker but can't see the harm. It draws attention to the club. I'd have hope for some media attention (other than Chronicle) by now.

 

I certainly wouldn't have signed that off.

 

And the rest! It's that bad I can only assume we are about to be taken over by Wayne Rooney
