[Archived] Rovers Sold ??

[j166429]

I think the point which has to be made here is that whilst there has been a lack of infomation in recent weeks, Daniel Williams has never said that he was going to buy the club with is own money. He readily admits that he does not have the ressources to buy the club on his own. He apparently has a consortium looking to invest. Therefore any link made between his house/farm/golfcourse/1970's ford cortina or whatever, bears no relation to his attempts in a buy out.

I just wonder if all of this rumour mongering might not have an adverse effect.

Here's a 2006 US Securities and Exchange Commission report on one of Dan's investment partners, Plainfield Asset Management LLC.

My question about they're being big enough to purchase Rovers still stands.

Here is the site to use in researching US companies. They don't list Princeton Housing Partners.

Presumably it's not a public company. Only public companies appear on Edgar

All this is absolutely fascinating. I have wasted nearly a full day at work reading through a large part of this thread and the Nicko thread. Excellent entertainment, full blown soap stuff. And am absolutely non the wiser as to the current situation of the takeover.

Everyone, keep it up.

Is there any GOOD reason why you should be?

[salothsar]

Probably not but I thought that after 80 odd pages I might have gleened a little more insight

[seahawkdad]

But just think how much you now know about so little...

[American]

What interests me most about this thread is the skepticism that people have with Rovers management. It's almost as if internet sleuthing will provide better information about the potential buyers than Rovers due diligence, which I'm sure includes company records research and probably follow-ups by private investigators.

But I guess a bunch of web surfers know better than a group of people who have been running successful business(es) for years....

[roversmum]

In a nutshell, American, couldn't have put it better myself...

[trueblue]

It's been well over a week since we had any news on this proposed 'take-over'... nothing from the club, nothing in any of the papers... what's going on?

[Guest fernhurstblue]

the phrase "information junkie's" springs to mind ..... just let things take their natural course

[trueblue]

Information Junkie ??? for taking an interest in what's happening to the club I support ?

[Guest fernhurstblue]

the comment wasn't aimed at you, just in general ..... i am sure that when there is something 'worth' telling, it will be told, and anyway i am sure that takeovers aren't usually conducted in the public arena with 'customers' (which is what we are to a business) spoon fed information :ph34r:

[BlueMonday]

Must be some hardnosed negotiations going on. With any luck thats because there are other interested parties. It might even be Rovers who are taking their time on this, which would fill me with more confidence.

More likely a stand-off because of difference in valuations?

I have it from a very reliable source that this is exactly the reason why it is taking as long as it has

[Brfcrule1]

hello Nicko,

I know it has been a while any news on rovers takeover talks? has a bid been lodged any idea on howlong before due dilligence and approx. how long do you think a takeover will happen have searched all over but can't find any new news on it?

any help would be great

speak to you all later

[Eddie]

I would say you are unlikely to get an answer. Best we all be patient and just see what happens.

[modes98]

It won't make any difference to cash available for transfers now anyway so i imagine things will slow down as a value is reached. Assuming that Danny boy is still interested.

[robborover]

i think you're right. it will take time and one day we'll hear. best to enjoy the football instead.

i wonder who the queen supports?? she must have a few quid!

[thenodrog]

i wonder who the queen supports?? she must have a few quid!

J K Rowland has more! Trouble is I think she's more interested in the Chudley Cannons.

[rebelmswar]

i wonder who the queen supports?? she must have a few quid!

I see her as a Spurs fan.

"One loves the Hotspur" The Queen to Prince Phillip in regards to his support of West Ham.

[nicko]

I think the Mirror might be worth reading in the morning.

I hope that the wait is worth it and I also hope that the paper knows a good story when it sees one.

In a shamless bid to sell papers I will just leave it at that.

If the story is not printed in all of its glory I will fill on some gaps tomorrow.

But for now that's all I can say.

[Taggart]

I am completely lost on this Guided Ars*hole - Dan Williams take over saga - Nicko seems fine to me, and hasn`t caused the meassge board any harm, yet some of the posts towards him, have been quite personal, obviously there are angry people !

but what I`m not understanding, is who is GM ? is it Mr Rupert, friend of the old England Rugby coach ? can someone put me out of my misery and PM me or something !
