Nope - was the drop dead date mate that killed it. That's what expired imho.

Exactly this. If the PL did there job promptly this would've been done. Also shows Caulkin knew f*** all about 'exclusivity' or drop dead dates. This aligns well. If Ashley figures he could get more then this dragging on and him pocketing both the deposit and the chance to sell for a higher price pays perfectly into his hands. Aye hence how fucking ludicrous it always was getting the fucking potential buyers to send shit via Barnes and Ashley FFS! Total conflict of interest.

So Mike fucked it. Obvious. If there is a yank, I hope he pulls out and leaves the fat cunt stranded in an empty stadium.

No - dragged it on beyond the terms agreed which dictated when the completion was required. When that expired, Ashley wanted a new deal/renegotiation. That's how it reads to me. If you think back to the PL leak earlier this week, that was clearly a shout to get it done before deal expired. FUCKING PRICKS.

Fucking fat apologist cunt.

Ran out of time and Ashley fucked them by demanding more for the same asset is my guess mate.

So that’s it then? No chance they’ll return? No chance they'll deal with Ashley again mate nor the fat cunt will deal with Staveley either, much to Puke's delight.

Is it safe to say that between the PL's dithering and Ashleys greed (after terms expired) that's what killed it GM?

And thereby cementing the Top 6 forever.

Only positive is that he's lost waayyy more than that on that useless Brazilian lump of shite he signed last summer.

Aye. I'm out too. Cheers boys.

Yup and yup.

Totally agree Chris. We cannot just assume he's sat there waiting for his coin to drop. He would've been scheming, conspiring and manipulating his side of the deal right the way through this process imho. The only thing guaranteed with that fat cunt is that all he'll care about is his best interests. There is even less chance of Mauriss passing the test so he won't be getting any extra cash off him. There may be another bidder. It's not unthinkable.

Not if Mauriss uses money from his own firm and they refund it after we've been purchased.

He did. Which is fucking remarkable. Makes no sense on any level; commercial, moral, logistical or financial. Of course it makes sense. Ashley is a member and a "passed" (fuck knows how) director. PIF are not. The PL has a relationship and obligation to Ashley, not to whoever he's trying to sell to. Nah Chris what Minhosa is saying is that it doesn’t make sense for the club’s attorneys to be the middle person for questions directly related to the acquisition with respect to questions only PIF is able to answer. In theory if Barnes is forwarded or on these correspondence he could easily pass on information (breaking confidentiality) to someone not involved or competing to buy. In any case I’ve been on both sides of deals related to M&A and I’ve never in my life seen a process conducted like this - more so the league wanting clarification from PIF on something, so sends email to MA’s attorneys, and then those attorneys reach out to PIF and so on. That is not market practices imo. This.

I'm amazed Liverpool haven't bought him to partner VvD. Would've been good for Holland too.

Golfmag said in a later tweet that apparently Bruce is 'furious'. If that's the case, and no reason to doubt him, then whatever it is will come out given Bruce is always in the pub with wankers like Edwards etc.

Golfmag is different mate. how? He's the real deal, that's how.

Golfmag is different mate.

Honestly if this ended up with Ashley in their embassy and no takeover, I'd take it just for the thought of that fat cunt getting chopped up and minced.

Isn't the inference just what the Pl have been saying this week ie: They require some action/clarification from the buyers before being able to proceed?

25m seems cheap imho.
