[Archived] Rovers Might Have Been Sold?

[Moppy]

So is it Monday when this NDA thing ends?

Its the end of the exclusivity and most people (including myself) assume that is linked with the NDA. If so yes but not 100%, the NDA might be for as long as the bid is alive. As with everything with this take over - nobody actually knows.

Well done Mrs Gumboots, thats exactly what Eid is about. Very much similar to Christmas, but i dont mind all the traffic on Christmas day or the evening.

Could that be cos there isn't a jam of vehicles, causing people to be late for work and making it difficult for them to go about their daily business, blowing their horns, shouting at passers by and generally causing chaos?

Let's hope nobody works near a football ground at the weekend, because it sounds pretty similar to what you have described.

Quote icers comment and mine bucky. Don't take it out of context lad

[USRoverME]

Actually, it was perfectly in context, in my eyes.

[BuckyRover]

I have done what he asked.

Tbh I'm looking forward to the fireworks tonight, they always put on a good show around here. (the dog next door can't say the same thing unfortunately)

Anyone starting to think that rebuttal will never come?

There will be a statement at some point. I hope they are trying to sort out all the details of the deal before then coming out and doing the PR bit, but the longer it drags on the more I doubt it. Monday seems to be the key day as the exclusive period finishes, however I would think the NDA (which applies to Mr Shah as well) will remain in place.

My brain maybe rattled abit from flu but it was said there would be a statement in the LET today from Syed's London PR team ? Did that happen at all ?

Take two minutes out of your busy schedule to read the thread.

All this excitement over a statement.........

Of course it was! Because comparing refences to religious festivals and a football match is completely the same But then you are a colonial boy, so we must make allowances

I'll take that as a no.

TBH I trawled 5 pages of the eternal 'he has no wiki page\is he really worth 8 Billion?' and then a discussion of Eid and gave up.

Statement from Western Gulf Advisory

In response to allegations made on the BBC Radio 5 Live Investigates broadcast on 5 September 2010, please find a statement from Western Gulf Advisory (WGA):

“This report contained a number of false and misleading allegations, which have subsequently been thoroughly investigated by WGA and its advisers and are corrected below:

It is true that Mr Ali rented an apartment in Bryanston Court in London but he vacated the property in a proper state having fully paid all rent.

Investigations by WGA’s legal representatives in the UK have confirmed that there is no record of outstanding council tax debts owed by Mr Ali and no evidence has been found of any congestion charge fine. In fact, in one instance Mr Ali overpaid council tax.

Mr Ali was unaware of an unpaid county court judgment, but has immediately cleared the debt and he is grateful to the BBC for bringing this to his attention.

Mr Ali was a director of two UK companies which were not trading and had no assets. Both companies were dissolved in 2006. The same is true of the Canadian companies and there is no basis to say that these companies ‘fell foul of the authorities in Canada’.

The programme incorrectly stated that Mr Ali grew up in Bhongir. In fact, Mr Ali’s family come from a different district in India called Bibinagar, albeit that both places are in the same state of Andra Pradesh. This is where Mr Ali’s family made their wealth through owning substantial agricultural land.

Mr Ali provided a forwarding address to all his business contacts after he left his London home in 2005 and any suggestion that he attempted to conceal his address is false and misleading.

The conclusions drawn in the programme regarding WGA B.S.C (Bahraini Shareholding Company)’s accounts are false and misleading and have been independently audited by BDO. Like any similar financial institution, WGA does not need to keep significant cash positions as it does not have large liabilities or operating expenses. Furthermore WGA’s Bahraini business is a separate entity to its European businesses, which are responsible for executing all of its investments.

WGA is a well capitalised business and has the sum of $850 million available in liquid assets for investment purposes. As previously stated, WGA remains committed to expanding its investment activities in the UK.

Any attempt to suggest that Mr Ali has a questionable track record in business and is therefore unsuitable to take over Blackburn Rovers is a false and damaging allegation.”
