Barrs Court Red Posted April 29, 2023 Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 Hopefully we can get an update on how far off a sale is likely to be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Well of course we're always exploring what's best for the Club and if the right deal is out there then we'd certainly look at that. Obviously I can't talk about anything specific right now but we are always looking to invest in the Club and in the city and that's always going to be our focus." 7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke_bristol Posted April 29, 2023 Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 Love what SL has done for the club, but he’s a very shrewd businessman, I doubt he’d be revealing anything ground breaking during a live interview. He’d prefer to control the narrative via official statements. I imagine we’ll get a pretty standard “it’s been a pleasing season with a mixed bag on the pitch with plenty of green shoots of progress thanks to the hard work of NP and the coaching and playing staff, and significant progress in FFP off the pitch. Hoping to kick on and move up the table next season, etc” 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will I’m sure, whilst also thinking “I’m glad I won’t get any proper questioning now for a while”! That’s going to be the biggest loss when Geoff goes - straight questions. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those kits are lush, the flying Robin was inspired by ‘er indoors, she was baking a cake and a starling tried to come through the bi-folds at our gaff and flew straight into the glass. Our Jon, quick as a flash grabbed the grease proof paper from the cake and traced the image…and there you have it. Ace.

Kid in the Riot Posted April 29, 2023 Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 We're talking to a "serious" overseas investor on possibly sale/investment into City.

Warwickshire Red Posted April 29, 2023 Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 Been speaking to overseas investor for a while. On going. No timetable. Not sure if it will come to anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted April 29, 2023 Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 I was surprised but happy to hear him say he doesn't see eye to eye with Nigel on everything. Think that's a good thing. I was interested, and again happy, to hear him point out how well Luton, Millwall and Coventry are doing compared to us. Gave a shout out to his mate Mark Robins "doing a brilliant job at Coventry". Contract talks with Nige have not begun. Scott price is £25m but could be higher if there's a bidding war. Doesn't know if Scott will go though, clearly hopes he'll stay. Thanked Geoff at end of interview. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bexhill reds Posted April 29, 2023 Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 Good interview, it’s clear he’s not going to pass the club onto just anyone, it’s not a one off purchase it’s an ongoing investment. No rush to sell Scott would like him to stay and build with the club a contract is on the table. Non committal on a new contract for Nige, it’s clear they’ve had different opinions, but is pleased with the way the club has built both on and off the pitch. Next year aiming at top of the table, top 6 if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice, if Steve does want to hand things over, if it's phased, similar to how Steve got the club in the first place. With someone new taking over through a period of 12 or 24 month, seeing what works, what doesn't and then making a mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
