According to members on the other forum news due in October

Steve Hamer said there is a difference between business culture in Jordan and that in Britain and I think he is correct. I am not saying that one way is right and the other way is wrong but simply putting forward the proposition that Dwane Sports misjudged the situation because in their business culture the perception of strength and power is more likely to change a negotiating position than it is in British business culture. I do know for a fact that in June 2016 Dwane Sports were trying to revamp the deal with UWE so they must have purchased the club knowing they would have to renegotiate and felt confident they had the means to persuade UWE to make concessions. 

I was as pleased as anyone when the takeover was announced and, like many fans, wrote to Wael to offer best wishes. Some things, such as the way Michael Cunnah, Lee Atkins and Will Dubey were paraded, made me uneasy but even when those three disappeared virtually without trace I didn't comment. It was not until over twelve months after the takeover, when the accounts were published, that I commented negatively about the funding being 100% through interest bearing debt because I hold strong opinions about that. In June 2017 when the charge was registered against the Mem I expressed concern because this is not a normal thing for a 92% controlling shareholder to do and the excuse Wael gave was extremely lame. 

Following on from this I have been critical of the way Wael has conducted himself and again this may be rooted in the business culture difference. I realize I am treading a fine line here but I do think that in a country where wealth and a world class private education is restricted to very few people there may be a tendency for that elite few to expect others to believe them purely out of a sense of deference and because of this they may feel no obligation to substantiate what they are saying. Many fans on both forums seem mystified by what Dwane Sports are doing and why so I am just putting forward a possible explanation. 



 

So wael turns up in the uk expecting everyone to fall at his feet and show deference to his mighty and obvious wealth?
I mean this was his first ever journey outside jordan and apart from the above he also noticed it was very cold and there were no camels to be seen anywhere!
"what a strange place" thought wael,"i will just have to hide away from all these people who dont know there place in society"

Do you have any direct dealings with them that suggest that this "Jordanian Way" is actually true? Has anyone from UWE said that they felt that they were being bullied? Whatever they AlQadi's do, you always seem to have a negative spin. In the last couple of days, a rumour emerged that a possible new owner had tried to negotiate with UWE and met resistance. Were they also trying to negotiate in the "Jordanian way"?

5. ok scenario; They keep improving the club and its facilities,they pay off any losses over and above the value of the mem,in other words they simply do what the rest of the football world is doing. They seek out investment partners to finance a new ground.

They are interested in the Club. Just not from a 'footballing' perspective.
Current annual losses are around £700k a year (Oldie had an update on this recently). I guess the simple answer to your question is that they are not "forking out" £700k pa.
The money that has been 'ploughed' into the Club is all effectively loans from Dwane Sports. That's how it appear on the balance sheet. We've been told they won't call in the loans.
Wael said that - so it must be true - right? 
When (please God) they sell... they would hope to get: What they paid for the Club + any money they have 'invested' in the Club. Above that - is all clear profit. 
(Remember Dwane Sports have already taken money out of the Club to the tune of 6% per year loan to BRFC. I understand that that's what it says in the accounts - ref swissgas).  
Question: Why have they spent so much money on senior non-playing management? My answer: To give the veneer of a professional organisation that would be attractive to an investor.
Question: How can they possibly justify spending £250k on a London office? My answer: To give a safe place away from Bristol to negotiate the sale of BRFC.
UTG.

it might be unrealistic, just wondering whether any sale by The Al-Qadi's is factoring in 29 acres of land at The Colony site especially if it is Southampton, Hampshire, Liverpool, Reading, Isle of Man Builders  who are apparently buying us this week
