Looks like the cat is out of the bag.... or at least one of them.
No, Deloittes have been tasked with talking to the other interested parties to assess their suitability and if or not they can satisfy the premier league conditions etc.
I've only heard that they have been talking to Deloittes. Don't know what the outcome was, other than they've said that they're ready to go. No idea about the other parties that have been mentioned.
No evidence? The club's CEO himself, stated that there are other interested parties at his meeting with the shareholders. Deloittes have already been talking to them as reported by NYT and elsewhere. They don't have to declare anything until it suits them to do so. If this falls through, they...
Of course they are... they're after a premiere league club with a brand new stadium for less than the cost of the stadium. They're prepared to pull out all the plugs.... especially as they're spending other people's money in anycase.
My understanding is that these want a full takeover. They can meet all of the PL conditions and are ready to go now. I've no idea if they're interested in a partnership or anything like that.
Personally, I've never been convinced by 777. So, at first impressions, I'd say they are a significant improvement. If they are successful, only time will tell. I've no idea about other potential buyers.
Tbh, I think the fella in the bedsit mentioned yrs ago might be better than 777.
The only name I've heard mentioned is of very similar background/status to say LFC's owners. Whether their strategies/approach would be similar or not, I've no idea.
