As things currently stand, there is 4 board members, with Mick and John owning about 47 / 48% each and the other 2 pretty much sharing remaining 5/6 %.

If the takeover goes through, they could just purchase 1873 and its entire assets and liabilities, or a deal could be done that the new owner (s) create a new company, and a selection of assets transferred across (SL license, players contracts etc), and the new stand / stadium remain a asset of 1873 and is leased to the new owners new company.

Its all guesswork and speculation at present what if anything will happen, but if the club is sold, then the current owners will be wanting to make a few quid on it one way or the other.

Guesswork? So why post so adamantly that they are wanting to get £200k a year from the stand and that they are blocking the takeover?

Seems to me some people are trying to cause trouble at the club by spreading misinformation.
I hope you all reveal your 'reliable source' when it all comes out as of course you want the best for the club.

I’ve plenty of evidence for all and more, that aside I’m happy with my ability to judge character

PT, you do not know him

Correct. I don't.
I don't think he's an angel by any means. But I don't think he's the devil that some think either.

I think he's a guy who makes hard decisions not everyone likes

You’ll quickly find out that those with a long term bee in their bonnet about MC and JM have migrated from the lawless site of Facebook onto this site and will try their best to continue to shed bad light on both regardless wether there is concrete evidence to back up their stories or not

What a joke of a post, ifs and buts,

if my grandad had tits he’d be me :grandma

Hi Jon.

Of course its ifs buts and maybes, no deal has yet been done. One of the majority shareholders is happy to sell for a quid, and is absolutely not bothered about his directors loans -doesn't sound like a pretty difficult deal to do if that stance is correct.

And you can only judge him on what you know PT, I don’t criticise you for that!

Not necessarily!
Now testicles that’s another story, then again in todays world maybe not

All that means is you don't understand the process.

Selling a house is much easier and that takes ages after you agree terms.

There are also some checks on owners from Super League/RFL if I remember rightly and that's before they've gone through the due diligence on the potential new owner. We've had a few like Pearman or Glover who talk big but then can't back up what they say.

Not a quick process at all.
