We’re now two weeks down the line since Nick Barnes said the sale could be done by the end of August.

As he suggested we’ve heard no news and are unlikely to hear anything else before the end of August.

Interestingly the latest WMS podcast ends with them all agreeing that in their view the supposed takeover is just a red herring and that no such talks are ongoing.

In the early halcyon days of SD they were obviously fed bits and pieces from the club - I’d wager they’ve been asking about to see if anyone’s heard anything and have drawn a complete blank.

That could confirm its all just a complete fabrication or that the NDA is holding firm and there’s no leaks.

Time I suppose will tell.

Some people must think August only has 10 days in its month.

Yeh agree,
Two problems an owner who is either totally deluded or just flat out greedy, if he thinks he’s getting £37m and nobody really knows 💯if he will even pay back the loan he owes to yanks of another £10m.
COVID effect on business and especially FC’s that rely on people coming through the gate.
So yeh won’t happen unless owners soften there stance imo, on everything we have seen from the owners that’s not happening.

I listened to that and to be honest while I normally like WMS and their podcasts I thought that part was pathetic. Spend an hour talking about shirts and other stuff and then leave the last 30 seconds to one word answers all saying it’s a red herring.
Why not expand on what you know and why they think that, put pressure on Donald if they think it’s all nonsense instead of pretending to sound in the know without saying anything. If it is a red herring then Barnes has been well and truly used by Donald and people should be calling it out.

That makes no sense as the asking price has been known for months by everyone.
Why go to all the trouble of creating a consortium then saying "Wait...how much?".

agree the Supposed asking price was known from the start, but in this case the person in question was weighing up with his contacts the total investment needed to make the project viable therefore making the asking price unviable in this case

Does £37.6 include the cash that SD has said he will put in? Does £37.6 exclude debt owned to FPP? Is there a contingency if we go up?
headline price is one thing but these three unknowns could move the value by >£20m.
