I have serious doubts that someone will pay £7-£8million for Crawley Town. I also have serious doubts regarding us making profits.

We did make a profit last year to be fair. However 7-8 million when we don’t own the ground is absolute pie in the sky
Well I saw a profit figure of 400k for 2020 and around 200k for 2019 but those figures are meaningless because they include massive donations of well over a million from the owner. So we are heavily lossmaking - in 2019 around 1.1 million including player sales of half a million.
Also sales figures of over 11 million? Lol - the accounts show somewhere around 3 million

We're they donations or loans?
Donations - see the quick Twitter analysis by football finance expert Kieran Maguire here
So Ziya donated 3 mill between 2017 and 2019, maybe the Watters cash meant he could ease off a bit? We’ll see when the next lot of accounts arrive whenever
I think the lack of activity on the club website, is a sign of impending announcements.
there is never that much activity anyway.
The news part of the website is always only match reports, links to Yems interviews and marketing-related stuff anyway. Also sometimes they take a while to update things like the squad list and player photos (think a couple of players were still on it last summer two months after it was announced they were being released)
I popped into Crawley's centre of culture today ( Wetherspoons in the high street ) and I was surpised to see The Glaser family, Mike Ashley, David Gold, David Sullivan, Karen Brady and Daniel Levy all sitting around a table tucking into mixed grills, pints of Stella and a glass of white wine for Karen.
I overheard Mike Ashley use the words , consortium, purchase, and another pint of Stella please.
I overheard the West Ham trio of owners order some "bread for the table" , whilst Levy and the Glasers spoke in more hushed tones.
With the club up for sale, coinicidence?? You tell me
Obviously you arrived after Donald Trump had popped out for his appointment at Topsy Turvy

I wait with bated breath for the donkeys on this site who think Ziya Eren lines his pockets with cash from the club

I can't recall anyone ever suggesting it? You would need to be a bit of a donkey to believe anyone thinks that.
