It was in the original post, exactly as portrayed.
The poster said there was £3m up front but then in another post said there was £10m up front.

Thanks, must have missed that amongst all the furore questioning why the offer had not been accepted.

Are you saying Stockholm changed his mind from £3 to £10 million?

to play devil's advocate The Swedish bid was 3 million upfront, with subsequent add ons, meaning it came nowhere near £10m. Dave Allen wants £10m, he probably won't get it mind.

Wrong. The bid was £10m

Interesting!!!!!!

Where did you get that information from, may I ask?

It certainly fits closer to how I was thinking and nowhere like how it has been portrayed.

Wrong. No matter how you want to think it was portrayed. But wait for it, it's coming...

Never changed my mind at all. Some people just using figures how they like and making their own opinions/stories.

Let me clarify: £10m bid to be paid in one installment. Sponsors to inject £500k each, totalling £3m to immediately 'plug the hole' and continue from there.

You have to admit its getting a bit bizarre, no way on this planet is this club worth 10 million, an when we go down it will be worth around half that. The club it seems has been ran into the ground, with the chairman seemingly not caring that much, an living in cloud cuckoo land.

Begs the question, has or is this been done out of spite, during the Sheff yoonited game, lots of abuse was thrown towards the directors box, an the next day the chairman resigns an takes his toys home.

All a bit weird, an sadly it seems as though its going to get a lot lot worse before it gets any better.

I remember DA saying something along the lines of "...a few fans seem to try and put the club down and whatever it does...we shall see then."

That set alarm bells ringing. If he's done it out of spite , he surely must realise that he only needs to spite the 0.5% of the fanbase who are doing this.

There is no reason to dispute the claims of SS imo

What has he got to gain by posting such a claim if there is no substance to it?

So why was this bid firstly denied by the club and then finally when it was made public dismissed out of hand

each passing day nearer to the bottom division makes the £10-£15 million asking price even more laughable

The club will soon not be worth that amount of fag cards

For some reason some people seem to still believe what AC says. The fact the club didn't want the fans to know about the deal at all makes me more suspicious that they turned down a perfectly good bid, and if so why.

Imo and I have said this in an earlier thread DA wants to keep hold of the banqueting side of any deal
and he knew this Swedish bid would blow him out of the water in this respect

Hence the later news being filtered from the club sources that a bid has been turned down because they only want the football side of things but will they be coming back with another bid?

Cue DA saying he has reluctantly accepted a slightly higher bid for the football side and he will keep hold of everything else

Just a thought of course

I apologise for anything I may have got wrong or misunderstood Stockholm, I really do.

One question, though, which I have not seen an answer to is regarding in what form the offer was presented and what detail was given, to whom it was addressed, by whom it was delivered.

Cash injection, as in pump money into. 10 million to buy off Allen, 3 million injected into the club to cover the running losses that are occurring under the current ownerships watch. Why would you use the term inject to talk about buying someone out?

Why would anyone gift £3 million to the club under the present stewardship?

Surely, they'd try to complete the purchase as quickly as possible and then introduce the £3 million under their own management.

[SpireiteFitzy]

They wouldn't. Stockholm clearly says the bid is 10 million followed by the 3 million injection, presumably when said original bid is accepted and the club is theirs.

The immediate cash injection would be £500k from each investor, as a gift/sponsorship from their companies. That right there, is over £3m. It would certainly plug the gap in the finances and remove the need for loans to be issued. Further six-figure payments would have followed as season-upon-season sponsorship. If any loans were made, they would not be re-paid in part or whole until a minimum of £250k profit was recorded.


The £10m bid was turned down , and this is a direct quote from AC’s pm to me: Dave Allen does not think your starting point or final bid is worth further consideration. We wish you well in your other investment ooertunities.

Please tell me you can now see the wood for the trees...
