    Seems like he's sold STVV - looks like the Belgian journo has swapped imminent for very quickly.

    Sorry for the Google translate.

    "STVV could be taken over very quickly by Japanese "

    The full acquisition of STVV is on til. "It's up to the Japanese to take the club into the hands," says Sporza-football commentator Stef Waleed.

    "I know there is a whole delegation of DMM.com in the country. That Japanese online company already has a minority stake in STVV, says Stef Waleed.

    "It was said that DMM.com STVV would take over the new year from Roland Duchâtelet, but from different angles we have now been told that it could go faster."

    "The Japanese would seize the interland between Belgium and Japan in Bruges to take over power now." To watch out, there is no definitive affirmation of, but the months long by lighting by the Japanese of STVV would be in the decisive phase. "

    "It would therefore not be illogical that DMM.com will seize this time to launch the news that they will take over a Belgian club in their own country."

    "Big Boss Roland Duchâtelet does not take his phone and does not communicate, so it is waiting for him to put all his signature. But that it is fast to arrive, is clear. If STVV soon sends a press invitation, it will not go over the dismissal of his trainer."

    Blackpool and St Truden to be liberated - surely it is now our turn.
  • Also being mentioned that DD has highlighted “more than 30” areas of concern.

    CEO, CFO, vol au vent budget included ...

  • "30 areas of concern" = that damned car park again !!

    Fascinating little article in today's Times about Bradford. I had no idea that average wage in League 1 is £100,000.

    Shame Roland didn't commission a documentary about his first year in charge.

    https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/bradford-city-owner-german-players-get-50-of-wages-in-bonuses-english-want-90-up-front-q5bmc8wx9?shareToken=68c2017764033c04df92d927338625ed

    £2K a week on average seems about right? Ours will be higher than that but teams like Wimbledon etc will pay much less.
    Ours will be a lot higher, hence Marshall and Clarke moving from them to us. Solly has never been a well paid player, for example, but he's likely to be on £5k.

    So if we are getting value for money we should outperform them, all other things being equal, because we can attract better players.
    It doesn't mean we can attract better players. It means we can attract the same players, but pay them more.

    It was slightly more than 30 originally, but the lawyers have worked through them and two thirds have been addressed. I'm told there's nothing unusual in that number.
    How many different ways are there of writing "Katrien Meire" in a spreadsheet? Sounds like there must be at least twenty.

    Roly will love that...he can dance to it to the tune of the Hokey Cokey!! :smile:
  • Never realised the parallels between Bradford and us in terms of new owners. We are third and they are fourth. Yet I still feel their experiment is working and ours has been a total failure. Confused.

    It was slightly more than 30 originally, but the lawyers have worked through them and two thirds have been addressed. I'm told there's nothing unusual in that number.
    So we’re looking at perhaps 10 or so problems , which may or may not put the kibosh on a deal this week

    It's not clear that any of them would be an obstacle. Some things just need you to go away and do something rather than simply explain.

    If you've ever bought a house, it's quite usual for the buyer's solicitor to ask for things from the seller - warranties for improvements, etc - that haven't been put on the table at the outset. A business is a lot more complicated, obviously, but I assume it's the same principle.

    So these problems should be something that the club will actively sort out in order for a deal to ether be completed or be completed quicker?

    By your analogy, I guess problems are effectively down to value versus actual state - for instance a buyer would pay say £1m for a larger well maintained car park but due diligence has found that there are potholes everywhere!?

    Exactly what's happening, which is why any claims it's a "non-story" are for the birds.

    Maybe as they are buying a football club they want proof we're members of the football league and have a license from RB Greenwich to stage football matches.

    They would be fairly easy to evidence imho.

    Could be a lot of things but as we've been told it's all lies so why bother to speculate.

    I would have been amazed if it were any less. All sorts of issues tend to be included, some very minor.

    Was it Bradley Wright-Phillips who "saved the MLS"....or was it someone else

  • I heard it was due to an empty pack of vol-au-vents found in the director's box.

    So do we take it from that that the directors with an Interest have been contacted in order to fill some of the 'potholes'? and my source is indeed telling porkies? Be good to know as it may stave off a nervous breakdown for one or 2 on here as I dread to think what could happen if it does all turn out to be nonsense

    It's not nonsense though, we've established this plenty of times through plenty of posters and sources.
    If it doesn't happen it will be for various reasons but not because there isn't serious interest.
