Excellent news! https://hamrichfc.com/blogs/news/hampto ... -ownership

Yippee!

The sale agreement clearly has a "no disparaging remarks about the previous onwers clause" but we can live with that - well done Ben and thanks to the shareholders that have supported the deal.

Would agree with this, however from experience we are probably a little wary . Let’s look on the bright side especially with optimism for next season.

Good news. Now let's bin #hamrichfc and the other Ramayana trademarks.

Great news that the impasse has been broken. It will soon emerge who the new ownership group is and how many of the previous Ramayana investors follow through. It is not clear whether Ramayana remains the ownership vehicle and how the deal has been structured.

I was wondering that too. Possibly, if it was Ramayana that had been bought, we would have seen the director changes at Companies House yesterday like we did for Simon Davers. But sometimes these updates are slower so we will wait and see.

One slight indication is that Ramayana filed a long overdue share issue form at Companies House on Monday (dating back to March 2024). Could be that the lawyers were tidying up that company before the transaction.

That was my guess. Suspect the relevant filings will appear later today which should give us the picture.

Just think we need to wait to see how the deal has been structured. We have been aware that some of the new investors have been seem at games in recent weeks, so could we assume that they are involved?
With all these things the “devil is in the detail” and then we should get a clearer picture.
It has been clear to most of us that finance was low of late, hence the changes without much in the way of explanation and now we can see why .
As for the future, most of us hope for an ambition statement for the future tailored to our potential, a more realistic off field structure to run the club effectively and a playing budget that produces a string of better results.

Great. The mood is "cautiously optimistic" then. Maybe we can concentrate on the football for a bit now and hope we've already accumulated enough points to stay up...

I’m still hoping for Champions League in next 10 years.

I'm sure everybody is. Just hoping we don't draw Bath in the semi-finals...

Good news, I think. I do find it strange that it doesn't actually name the investors involved. An announcement of new ownership that doesn't actually reveal who the new owners are, why the secrecy?

Anyway, hopefully whoever it is will have a more sensible approach and we can be moving on from Hamrich, Ted Lasso, and owners ranting on social media about the scourge of the 'traditionalist fan'.
