Synectics to bid again NOW EXCLUSIVE

[Howjy04]

Hold on there Cowboy. "The Club has entered into a Confidentiality and Exclusivity agreement with Carol and Kevin Shanahan regarding the purchase of the Club and Vale Park in their entirety."

 

Yes that is progress but we ain't out of the woods yet by a long chalk.

 

It was RS who announced it via Colin Garlick.2pm news.

Love it to be true and sorted. Give everybody a massive lift after all the troubles we have gone through. I'm also though not opening my champagne until the deal has been signed, sealed and the present owner has fled the City never to be seen again! Good luck Carol and Kevin, you'll need it but I sincerely believe all Valiants will back you as much as possible into giving Port Vale it's rightful respected name back into football.

Sadly I treat everything that comes out of the club with scepticism until it actually happens

[valefan16]

As im no business man, does this mean a deal has been agreed to enter the actually exclusivity period? Garlick talks about now waiting for ratification from the EFL for instance.

[Iron Curtain]

Very positive news!!

 

Fingers crossed Smurthwaite does the sensible thing and doesn’t throw a spanner in the works!

It like Sold subject to contract on a house.

Not always guaranteed to succeed but no one else can come in and out bid them

Hopefully the EFL have stepped in and politely told Norman that he cant put the club into admin when there is an offer on the table.

That’s how I understand it

Time to go

Let's hope someone has talked some sense into Smurthwaite, the sooner he goes the better for everyone and everything concerned. He's become an absolute pariah.

[Bycarsbill]

Shame our lovely owner will reject it

 

Let's hope that this time, sense will prevail and he will negotiate in good faith!

It’s not over until the fat bar steward signs.

I think he knows his time is up. He backed himself into a corner where he could ultimately lose more than he could ever gain. I think his rant on Radio Stoke was just bluster and bile. He would never feel safe anywhere if he carried out his threat. I am optimistic that the end is nigh for the fat controller. My season ticket money is eagerly awaiting to be handed over to our new owners and I hope there will be a huge surge of disgruntled supporters who will do the same. If this news come to fruition it will be a massive boost for everyone connected with PVFC.

What about the exclusivity with the Asian bid ??

[Heatwave]

Hadn't been on today and just had the email from Mark Porter announcing suspension of the protests, so it looks like good news.

 

Fingers crossed but I won't start celebrating until the ink is dry. Looks like someone told him he'd get naff all for the club if he put it into admin.
