Norman Smurthwaite

My concern is that if such a group exists and is paying the price the chairman is asking for the business shown in the latest accounts, they must be a little barmy.

 

According to Penny Black/Smurf, they didn't pay the asking price.

If you do know where Keith Ryder is, please tell the creditors of the company he absconded from the other year, or the victims of the pension scam he was linked to.

Hedge funds per se are financial investment vehicles that usually invest in riskier stock/shares that does a Mutual Fund (Unit Trust in the UK). Because the investments are riskier the returns can and often are significantly higher and consequently Hedge Fund managers are usually wealthy individuas as are the companies that own the Hedge Fund. Jonn Henry and Warren Buffet built their fortunes initially in Hedge Funds. In the USA Hedge funds are not as highly regulated as Mutual funds.

 

Hedge funds just don't usually invest in Football Clubs (as part of the fund itself), just what Sisu are and the Norwegian Company that Doha (Rodina Sports???) unearthed I have no idea but they appear nothing other than a bunch of wide boys. Vale being owned by a typical Hedge Fund manager/Investment group per se isn't necessarily an issue it's the quality, character and motives of the humans that own/run the business that we should be concerned with. We wouldn't be p'ed off if it was Warren Buffet buying the Vale but he's intent on giving away his $73 billion fortune, pity he couldn't deposit some of it on Hamil Road.

I guess we wont gauge what their intentions are until we know who is involved,as you say it makes you wonder why people so far away would invest in a potentially League 2 club,it would be nice if it was to get us to the Prem and make themselves 90m....well we can dream i guess. As i have said maybe an Hedge Fund wont be as bad as we might think

[werstayinup]

If true and someone does takeover it will add something to the summer at least,a clearout AGAIN,new players,management team,CEO etc..maybe new ticket prices who knows

[DIV3SOUTH]

who is that supposed to be

 

Rafa Benitez with a wig

[For Us All]

Who knows if there is any truth in any of this but if it is a Hedge Fund from Boston and money had to be raised/borrowed to fund the purchase/running of PVFC then I would be concerned 'cause the value of PVFC really is small change to people involved in legitimate Hedge Funds.

More like a boiler room scam?
