This is interesting????

[The Red Baron]

Just a thought. My take is that TB is giving them until July 18 to raise x amount of funds and meet certain criteria regarding future funding and then the sale will go through or won't.

I don't really understand the reasons behind the delay until July 18th, but I don't think that the sale won't go through or that TB will come back.

I do think there are probably other investors waiting in the wings though.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Here's a thought. If you were trying to convince external investors to join the team you might try telling them that the club will be transformed by having a 10m strong fan base. If I were an external investor, I'd want some proof that this could be monetised. What better way than to set up a crowd funding trust? When this brings in the money and shows the potential of the new fan base, the other investors have their evidence.

Total speculation, I agree.

Well b*llocks to you then. YOU tell us what's going on. I'm going back to bed.

Strikes me as good a theory as any. I did also wonder if the 18th July date might be to allow time for JR and LT to acquire the remainder of the shares. Before they bring the additional "investors" on board they may want or need to control 100% of Patienceform.

In my scenario, other investors come in on 18 July if they are sufficiently impressed with the financial aspect of the 1-D fans' support.

Were have all the loudmouths who were telling us they knew so much a few days ago gone? Come on fill in the blanks please!

As I say, it is as good a theory as any I've heard. And Yargo is right- the "ITK" brigade have gone very quiet since the deal has been done.

Just had a look at some of the comments on the crowdfunding website.

This one is rather poignant.

And this one had me in stitches.

Crikey we should count ourselves lucky she didn't have to watch the team last year...Asda would have sold out of razor blades....

Hoolahoop...I still haven't found anyone who will give me odds against a few mystery last minute donations...I suspect a miracle might just happen there....

That last one...I don't think you can comment on the site unless you've donated, so this one has given money but hasn't a clue what for!

So someone could theoretically top it up to the target to get the pledges then take their top up back out and get what has been pledged when in reality the fund failed?

[GazLaz]

They would be burning money though wouldn't they because they would have to pay VAT and fees on it.

I don't know, I have n't a clue how donations to trusts work tax wise

I suspect you are right about both the blades and the crowd funding

I suspect you I'll be right on both counts wing commander. I'm not putting the money in that's for sure !
If I had the sort of money all these directors had , we wouldn't be in the bloody mess we're in now. I would have had none of this bother,.......it' s ridiculous

[wing commander]

gazlad....There wouldn't be any vat on it...And I doubt any fee's either...the individual putting it in would be different to the one taking it out I'm sure....

[wing commander]

hahahaha

[silent majority]

Personally I think it's immoral, this girl;

About littlemixareus
heyy I am Megan x I am a self harmer but will be hopefully stopping soon with the support of my best friend x

should be getting help from us, not the other way around!!!

[GazLaz]

She's purchasing something we are selling. She should get help from her mum and dad.

[wing commander]

You could say that by giving all her dollars to Louis she cant go buy any razor blades...but in all seriousness I take your point...It's a sad reflection on us....

[graingrover]

.. just paid in my £ 50 to help my club that little bit more .

I'm baffled SM, are you suggesting that DRFC are responsible for her self harming?

 

[silent majority]

I haven't a clue how you surmised that from what I wrote. The answer is no.

[the vicar]

Even if it does not make the 2mill and they have to top it up, it makes it pretty cheap world advertising so it would be a success.

[Rios]

Think the world's about to end.  Someone at the Free Press has found some balls and printed something not entirely positive about the takeover... (I was going to say negative, but it does look like it's been re-written and edited a number of times to tone it down!)

Could you clarify your "immoral" remark for me please?

O oh, I sense JRs legal team are monitoring SMs comment

[Sad-Rovers]

I've no idea what JRs legal team are up to but I'm interested what SM thinks is immoral.
