CONFRIMATION of the CONFIMRED

[Brogue]

well his latest tweet is

The deal was brokered by Nigel Howe who was contacted by William storey when Nigel put some fellers out to a few contacts. William storey then contacted redbird for the extra funding. William knows redbird through F1

Are Red Bird the one's who only own AC Milan at the moment? No other clubs or?

I won't get too excited about this until it is all ratified, but this is pretty solid stuff if indeed RedBird are getting involved. They own AC Milan and bought a 10% stake in FSG a couple of years ago, so in essence are minority shareholders at Liverpool. These are their biggest brands, but they have also invested heavily in a number of sports tech firm - fantasy gaming, entertainment venues similar to TopGolf, content creation for US sports teams.

In fact I can't for the life of me understand why they need William Storey involved much past the initial relationship with Dai.

Exactly this

They’re busy men so possibly time. Maybe they want someone in the UK to be their voice and to be close to what’s going on.

What power will they have if he makes a complete horlicks of running everything? Presumably could bring in their own CEO and Board?

[South Coast Royal]

When he tried to sponsor the F1 team didn't they find that he basically only had £500 in the bank?

He is one of those shysters who spends other people's money isn't he? He is just a face.

Bit like the labour Party!

Doesn't every government spend other people's money?

[NathStPaul]

Why are you replying to the racist?

If it’s red wood I am sure they know what they’re doing. They seem to have their fingers in a few pies so it does make sense for them to appoint someone based in the UK to oversee things on their behalf. However, I am pretty sure that Storey will be more of a puppet and have no real power.

Exactly like the Labour Party and all other socialists.

Whereas Communists want to legalise the actual theft of other peoples money.

In both cases whilst seeking to accumulate their own wealth and power by the same means of course.

Anyway; this is a little like the Family Guy ‘let’s start a rumour’ episode….

Unless a Football Club is owned by its fans; or by the likes of SJM (rarer than ever these days) they are owned by relatively shady characters.

Shady either politically or financially or both.

It’s just the degree of shade that varies.

We need to sort our ‘sh4t’ out urgently - otherwise it’s further relegation and ignominy that await…

And, instead of protest groups…. (Venting of deeply held and totally sincere feelings about the Club)…that on practical terms, achieve so little….

Fans need to find a way of buying the Club.

If this is not possible; the fans can await the new owner in due course …

Without having a say as to who it is.

‘Protesting’ as a long term strategy becomes a destructive, negative force.

If this is true I suggest we all wait and see the details and individuals behind this, may well work out ok

from my understanding this sale was verbally completed over 3 weeks ago but because of NDA’s it isn’t announced. EFL vetting is at a half advanced stage #readingfc

There was a lot of chatter after the Bolton game that went quiet.

It's all plausible tbh, but all still rumour.

Nope, the current lot don’t even bother spending, they just give it away

Far right dribbling nonsense

I agree! Oh dear I've soiled myself again....

[Snowflake Royal]

My only guess for Red Bird using Storey is that they have some connection through F1 and need an enthusiastic mouthpiece to front for them, who can convenientky take all the blame for anything that goes wrong.

Think if anything adds weight to our friend Huang’s tweets, maybe it’s this. Potentially the source of info

We’ll see

[WestYorksRoyal]

Dellor seems to reporting to the contrary - no mention of Red Bird and his sources think the bid will fail.
