and were shown around the ground etc before a game a year and a half ago
Marcus Evans then simply didn't bother to get back to their interest in the club and they moved on to pastures new
if he is so interested in selling, why is clinging on and refusing offers? |  |

How did your post jump from them having a look around the ground to them having an offer rejected? |  |

I actually heard this from a good source a while ago.
They couldn’t afford what Evans wanted from what I was told. |  | | |

Fair enough.
Are their owners filthy rich or happy to fling some more cash about? If not then we probably wouldn’t be much better off anyway | |

Wealthy Hong Kong gamblers.

They are called International Entertainment Corporation.
There is nothing to suggest that they would have been any improvement on Evans. |  |

Evans having a dying subsidiary over a long period of time is bringing a tax advantage to the ME Group. | |

Think it just died out and they got bored of it as he didn’t get back to them |  |

They gave up pretty damned easily. Doesn't suggest they were overly keen to buy us.
Seems they were just looking for any old club.
Nothing to see here. | |

Are you suggesting that International Entertainment Corporation wouldn't have the club's real best interests at heart? |  |

If it was such a tax advantage, surely he would engineer to lose more money? | |

To be fair, Ive no idea. But there's nothing to suggest that they would have been the answer to our prayers.
I don't see them as a great loss. | |

I trust ME far more than I do those chancers. He's had plenty of offers to sell up and has refused. Fans slate him but he's still a much better custodian than any of these fly-by-night idiots. | |

I agree.
But I expect to get slated for doing so.
I'm not saying ME is perfect, we all know he's made mistakes. His biggest was probably buying us in the first place. But I think he's better than a lot of owners out there. | |

How many times do they need to chase before they give up - they went elsewhere and wee dynamic enough to get a deal done | |

They found someone more desperate.
I don't really see what the discussion is here, there's nothing to suggest we missed out. | |

What do you know about those ‘chancers’? They have worked closely with Joe Royke at Wigan and things appear to be going well
I’ve not looked into them in great detail but nothing to suggest they are poor owners or fly by nights that I can see | |

Poorly worded from me, Joe. I shouldn't have said 'those' in relation to the new lot, no real idea about them tbh.
What I should say is that I meant some of the *reported* offers to ME previously, many of whom I understood to be a bit like that. | |

They finished 18th having taken over a steady club with a settled manager in November.
During their tenure they have recouped £4m in fees and spent nothing.
I think this is a case of 'wait and see'.
You would think ME turned down a meeting with Sheikh Mansour or something.

Was longer ago than that, I think, and wasn't before a game. It was during the week. Were given the whole tour. I don't know why nothing came if it. That'd be conjecture on my behalf.
Joe Royle - Director of Football by SWGF 7 Nov 2018 12:40Not as interesting as his son being shown around Town with a group of investors (presumably the lot that have just bought Wigan) a year or two ago.
