Zero

What I see the bids are as follows 1: 200m + 100m relegation clause and HMRC Clause 2: 150m + 50m relegation clause + 100m instalments + 50m champions league clause 3: one off 250m. I think the first bid is the best unless the HMRC case could cost us a few ten millions. Staveley will be responsible for the Jan funding and if she is serious about it Rafa would get the fund and we should be safe I.e. The fat cunt will likely getting 300m. The second bid is very tricky. The 50m champions league bonus is a bit strange. I don't think the fat cunt will take it serious. So basically it's 300m with 50m relegation clauses and 100m deferred payment. It does sounds like a bit better than the first but cash flow wise it may not. The third bid is simple, 250m upfront, no clauses. In this scenario, the fat cunt will never get his 300m asking price. I ain't sure what people thinks but to me, the first bid is the only bid that likely meet the fat cunts asking price. The second bid isn't better because a lot of payment are deferred. The fat cunt did say he accepts substantial deferred payment, but he didn't say the price will be adjusted accordingly, which is common in paying instalments. The third bid sounds like a "fuck off you moron we will never pay 300m take it or leave it that's it" statement to me. I am not surprised the fat cunt rejects this. Absolutely not.

Eh? The bids won't supersede one another, they're just different options. Hmm normally people will only submit second bid after the first bid is rejected right?

The last is the only one that doesn't mention the HMRC fine, tells me there might be good chance we could get a rather large fine coming our way. That could be the case, which I am a bit surprising to be honest.

Am I the only one who think the bids are deteriorating? I think the the first bid is the best, and last bid is the worst.

I wonder what will happen if PCP did take over the club. Say Rafa requests 50m to rebuild the team, and so this amount has to get all investors consensus before Rafa can conclude any deals?

I.e. 250m is our last offer.

If Ashley has rejected the 250m bid and PCP didn't come up another offer (which is kinda consistent with the story that the 250m bid is take it or leave it) then to Ashley there is no bid on the table. As someone stated above, obviously the fat c*** wrongly think PCP is desperate to buy and play hardball on everything including transfer embargo and now finally realised he is pushing the club towards relegation and he is the only one who takes the loss, and thus quickly allowed Rafa to make 3 signings (amount unknown though) and then spat furiously through media.

Basically the last offer on the table is still the one-off 250m bid. Does people really think this is fair? I understand the hatred towards the fat cunt but seriously you have to question Amanda's intention as well.

This is the ultimatum that unless PCP meet his asking price, every thing will be run like the deal is dead, and more likely his asking price would change after his further "investments".

Seriously if Amanda's bid is only 1. 300m with relegation clause and 2. 250m one-off bid, then I seriously doubt her real intention behind the take over. To be more precise, this did sounds like what the fat cunt did 10 years ago: buying a sinking ship at a low fee, repair it and then try to decorate and sell on a high one. Although I am very disappointed, I am not surprised. No way the fat cunt would sell the club at that price. I won't either if I am in his position.

To me it's like devils dealing with devils.

Wrong, both will be fine. It's Mktheshitryan that will be sold.

He really does not belong to EPL.

Or there is another potential bidder.

I know I am the minority but I think it is real. That could explain the change in tune from the fat cunt side a few weeks ago.

So instead of bringing in bodies to fight for survival, we are selling our players to our relegation rivals. This is un-fucking-believable.

Was that not more Joe Joyce & Dave Watson's responsibility? Check the link above. Or you mean probably Joyce and Watson are the coaches that advise Lewis to leave?

I told you he should be sacked for Lewis Gibson fiasco but some idiots here still defend him at that moment.

Yea but that means Ashley f***ing sure PCP really wants the club at all cost. That doesn't make sense to me or to anyone. PCP can just end the discussion and walk away FFS.

I don't quite understand what the fat cunt is thinking to be honest. Even if we are safe this season, Rafa must walk and he would have to find a new manager and spend a huge fucking lot to survive the next, if Amanda decided to quit the negotiations. We will be 100% relegated, either this or next. It seems like he wants to relegate?

Southampton have just been sold. Shit lol

PCP can simply go to buy Southampton and hire Rafa as their manager. Ashley would be the only one who suffer from the huge relegation loss. Obviously he didn't realise this.

15M is fair. If he is still in Anderlecht he would cost much more than 15M.

I think the deal is dead. Let's move on to something else.

Seems reasonable, to be fair. Aye, there isn't a young striker comparable to Kane at the moment, closest is Jesus but no way he would leave City.
