Bradford City Takeover.

[Dolph Ziggler]

There's a few rumours flying around currently.

This guy is apparently the new owner http://www.ccdni.com/director-giovanni-paladini-3 - Note that it says he's a director at our club now??

 

[Indian Dan]

Hope he treats your club better than the other Italians have done at Orient and Leeds

OTHER ITALIANS?

The blokes are the same ones from Orient apparently. ha. we're fucked. http://www.companydirectorcheck.com/mauro-milanese-2

 

[valefan16]

Paladini... ex QPR

 

[Indian Dan]

Oh, dear

 

[PUSBCCFC]

Wish we would get taken over.

Paladini is nothing to do with us. Milanese however was. He was never a director, but was interim manager/ sporting director. Since he left we've improved, apparently him and Liverani fell out. He has a massive gob on him as well, slagged off Slade when he was still here, and some players to fans. He also tried to get rid of our best centre back Mathieu Baudry to Peterborough before him and Liverani fell out.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

However I note on Companies House that Milanese was terminated as a director of Bradford City Holdings last month.

you'll be sound, you just need to wait for the 8mil from the sale of tom cleverley to come rolling in like firthy said

 

[Dolph Ziggler]

I heard it was £15m. Firthy told me.

[valefan16]

Paladini tried to buy us with the promise of Carbone and Ravenelli in 2003/04, then he dropped his offer price, he tried to buy Notts County earlier and they rejected him too.

 

[IanPVFC]

Wasn't he the guy who was held at gunpoint in QPR's ground?

 

[Dolph Ziggler]

All over BBC and SSN. Our owners have signed confidentiality agreements.

 

[Cas]

All that progress just for this. We're fucked.

The Daily Mail reporting it now. Phew. Thank fuck it's not true then

 

[jacobncfc]

This will end well.

 

[Dolph Ziggler]

This will end well.

Our club is NEVER transparent at all.
We're really kept in the dark about everything that surrounds our club. I hope to christ that those involved in the sale have actually thought this through.

 

[Cas]

What's David Hockaday up to these days?

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

What's David Hockaday up to these days?

Managing our youth side.

 

[Cas]

Managing our youth side.

Oh, sorry to hear that Joe

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

Oh, sorry to hear that Joe

He masterminded our 2-1 win over MK Dons and signed Chris Stokes on loan. He's a genius.

We could have a right budget on FM16 though, mate. Perspective.

 

[RavenBish]

couldn't happen to a nicer club.

 

[Dolph Ziggler]

After your takeover, you're really going there?

 

[RavenBish]

After your takeover, you're really going there?

Yeah, I'm like the old drunken war veteran missing a leg sat in the corner of the bar. I just want to see the world burn.

 

[Robert Molenaar]

I actually believe that Lawn will sell to the right person, he won't sell to someone who will fuck us over (I hope!)

This is perhaps what we need though, we need investment as Lawn and Rhodes have probably done all they can to progress the club with the money they have. However, I just not sure this is the right guy. I'm sure we'd all love someone with a reputable background and this guy leaves us all with no confidence.

Nothing is signed yet, so I'm sure it'll all be ok.

 

[Bantered Out]

Investment is nice, all the crap that would come along with this guy aint worth it though.
Just watch that QPR doc and you'll get a decent idea of what he's all about.

 

[valefan16]

His reason for wanting to buy Vale was that his son was a massive Vale fan after watching our Anglo Italian Cup exploits against Ancona, Genoa and the like... The only issue that came with this is he said the same about Notts County when trying to buy them!

 

[Youpies]

I dont remember him trying to buy Notts

 

[Ninety Per Cent]

I think he was one of the many sniffing round Notts but it never got past the "interested" stage. Bradford are doing alright, they know what it's like to have a reckless owner so(hopefully)won't go down that road again.

 

[James [bcafc]]

looks a done deal to me does this, 6/8 weeks the chairman have talked and kept Parkinson updated with it all, all negotiations for players on hold, but he's done a press conference today and still hopefull stead will be signed within a few weeks. Fuck knows why, let's wait and see and what type of budget before signing players like stead up again. Might say more about parky tho tbh on that.
