Sliding Doors moment?

[Mapperleypie]

The change of company name from Wrexham Limited to Reedtz Limited was completed on the day the Notts takeover was announced as complete. Perhaps I have put 2 and 2 together and made 5 but it seems reasonably logical?

I'm struggling to find this on companies house Swale. What are the respective company numbers?

[SwalePie]

Apologies, you're obviously better informed than I am. I'm now a bit puzzled though. Wrexham Limited is listed at companies house as a fast-food business in Rhyl that looks to have always been owned from inception in 2005 by Peter and Hai Ling Lam. That's company number 05359816.

Then there's Notts County Football Club Limited which seems to be the current incarnation, having been an off-the-shelf company created in 2003 and called Blenheim 1862 Limited until 2012. The Reedtz brothers were appointed directors of this entity, apparently the current football club, on 26th July 2019.

Sorry if I'm now starting a wild-goose chase but I'm now intrigued. I don't care about any muddying of the ownership waters by King/Munto, Trew or Hardy, but it's somehow disappointing to find that our owners may have regarded the choice between Notts and Wrexham as a coin-flip. There'd always be more to it than that in a negotiation obviously, but all the same...

You've apparently been attempting to find them in the wrong jurisdiction. Reedtz Limited, the vehicle used to purchase Notts, is an Isle of Man company, so you wouldn't find it on the Companies House register.

I don’t understand the disappointment. They’re businessmen and, for whatever reason, elected to purchase Notts County. I’m incredibly happy they did and pleased/relieved the path we’re on. The fact they possibly/probably considered purchasing Wrexham, causes me no concern/unrest whatsoever.

Isle of Man Limited Company number 017307V. They had an earlier company (Reedtz Football Ltd.) from 9th July too but that one was dissolved in 2020, basically unused.

Me neither KK, if anything I'm happy that they appear to have decided that Notts is a better investment and put their money where their mouths are. No negatives to this as far as I can see. Two brothers went carefully looking for a club to buy and Notts had the best combination of current state and future potential at the right price. That's how it would appear to me at least.

This week, it's been confirmed what we've probably all suspected - deep down - since the day Burchnall was appointed. The owners are, relatively speaking, skint.

When and how was this confirmed?


I've ob missed something.

Ditto, where has all this come from all of a sudden? Some rumour from the fans forum night Or something to do with records from companies house…I don’t get it.

Has UTM been on holiday with Durham Pie or something?

Yes I'm confused aswell, please confirm how you know the owners are skint , bearing in mind they funded the club through lockdown with no income coming in through the gates and not having the need to furlough staff (like Cheat Town).!?...

It may have come from the bit at the fans forum where Burchnall said something along the lines of "Chesterfield made Calvin Miller and offer which was way above what we could offer him". If we can't compete with the big spenders in this league, 'relatively skint' might not be too far from the truth in the sense that we have money, but nowhere near as much as them.

Or maybe they have the money but aren't prepared to be held to ransom or play fiscal suicide looking at short term gain for long term pain...?
