Ben Steele takeover

Can`t believe the negativity of some with regards this proposed Ben Steele takeover. Surley this is better than nothing give the guy a break. He looks and sounds determined to own CCFC so lets see what happens and be more positive. I don`t believe the Malaysians are holding off until Risdale has gone simply because if Steve Borley and Guy knew this was the case then surley they would have done something about it. If you were in their position and you were in contact with a potental billionaire you would go all out and deliver. If that means getting rid of certain directors then that is the path you would take. Don`t believe for one minute there were Americans in talks either. The Malaysians have had plenty of time to invest but have for some reason chose not to, so you have to back Ben Steele who looked really excited sat next to Ridsdale yesterday. Personally i have a good feeling about Ben Steele simply because he is British obviously loves his football and at present seems to be hell bent on owning CCFC.

fully agree - cracking POSITIVE post!!

thanks for that post i thought it was just me seeing negative posts

I also agree. Why would he be in it (solely) for the money.....

Hes not exactly short of a few quid at present is he.... Im sure he could just cancel his interest and get by in Life as he is!

If Steele, or anyone for that matter, has the money and skills to move the club forward, bring them on. Personally I think this Steele is another Michael Knighton, full of talk and bravado, but without the financial clout and possibly the necessary skills to do so. I hope I'm wrong, but I believe there is no chance that he will takeover the club, a nominal investment is the best we could get imo, and believe it is a smokescreen in buying Ridsdale more time. He's playing the game and making us all look like a bunch of idiots while we do nothing. I am also extremely concerned that our finances are so bad that any perceptive businessman would think long and hard before buying us. We have huge debt, mounting unpaid bills and a very high wage bill that will make it very difficult to turn us into a business capable of even breaking even for at least 2 seasons, meaning prospective investors not only have to cover our huge debts, but subsidise considerable losses for the next 2 seasons as well.
