and yet you'd think if you were interested in buying something for a certain price and the person selling was meanwhile disposing of bits of it you might well alter your offer price. Maybe the sales were occurring to get the price to match the bid ?

Depends on the terms, it may be much more attractive than having to borrow it from elsewhere. Again, I don't think this would automatically attract chancers who only have £20m - that's not something to worry about IMO. Anyone interested will probably still have to prove to SP they can theoretically afford the full thing. If you have the dosh, just pay it off and get rid of him otherwise he will still be hanging round the club like a bad smell. I don't care if Ashley is owed money as long as he's not in control of the club anymore. Being able to pay £20m up front and owe £80m by a set date (say 4 years) is like getting a £80m interest free loan. They can then use some of that 80m to finances what they want to do with the club instead of potentially having to go to the banks and lumber us with millions of pounds in interest payments. The article suggests it would be next summer he'd want the rest not 4 years.

Can't sell a shop, he's no chance of selling a club !

As the song says "could have been worse, could have been born a mackem"

It doesnt but if that makes you feel better i guess you can think that. so you think the money will be used to improve the squad? No it'll be used to pay the wages of the players since we've left the Premiership and lost the TV income.

To be fair we know noubt by that article, still not one quote or anything knew added.

Could of course be the Journal/Chronicle usual opposite stories. Journal says one thing on the morning Chronicle says the opposite, might be all geared for The Chronicle to say it's a done deal this afternoon

Probably someone who wants to leave

Freddy had very little money but the club managed to spend plenty

Dundee was Harper R.Taylor Enrique Nolan Kadar S.Taylor Gutierrez Smith Barton Carroll Duff Subs: Tozer Krul Donaldson Vuckic Geremi Lua Lua

Depends I guess with who he puts on the wings I would reckon Jonas and Duff. I think Kadar will probably start as well. Hopefully Ranger will get some sort of run out too. Hasn't Lua Lua played alot of the friendlies ? It was suggested the team against Dundee would be close to the starting 11.

it was denied by HR that they offered 10m. Even if they had chances are they offered in instalments if we have since accepted less this will therefore be a full payment or close enough.

Who wants Colo like ? I thought a host of spanish clubs, and also Lazio? Rumours like, and it was a canny while ago, although i'd think he will be off considering his wages will be pretty steep aswell. Think that was coming from his agent who looked to be trying to get the player out of the club without him handing in a transfer request and make it look like the club who weren't selling. 2/3 players have gone since then and he's still here so looks like he's just not wanted.

Who wants Colo like ?

Lovely, going anywhere nice ?

Carry on as before and wait for the next big bit of hopeless news like this

Depends I guess with who he puts on the wings

We are shit and in this league for a reason you know. Expect alot of goals and just got to hope we can pinch one more than them.

Would take a while before they would think of floating the club. Would it be a good thing though? It's always good in my eyes to have different people owning the club. Like Arsenal for example. All from the same family like last time isn't good though.

So a company he ran 4 years ago but no longer has anything to do with had problems and that relates to him how ?

He was supposedly fined for not travelling. No idea whether or not he was going to play. Doesn't matter in my eyes, equates to the same thing

Wasn't he fined for refusing to travel to play in the friendly ?

We don't need a left back if we keep Enrique. In the current situation (ie assuming Beye and Bassong are out of here), I think we need one striker who is proven at this level, a no nonsense CB, and a right winger. Then for each other player that leaves, we'll need a like for like replacement. What happens if Enrique gets injured ?

Yes, but that was nearly a week ago, thought it might have been here by now. Ring the number at the bottom
