I don't think it's good news at all. I don't think a takeover is going to happen, we can't just fanny about until the end of August and then try to offload them. It's all very well saying this squad might do well in the championship, if it doesn't get promoted then we really would be fucked.
The best we can hope for now is Ashley to commit himself to the new season and hire a new manager. This takeover is not happening and if there's no change to the squad we're going to end up with a wage bill that dwarfs our revenue, then we will show everyone what "doing a Leeds" really is.
I find it hard to care what alot of these people say. We're going bankrupt and their wages have alot to do with it. It's not their fault they get paid so much, and they're not obliged to take a pay-cut or leave, but please don't pretend you give a shit about the club.
No. For a start Ashley wouldn't give a shit, and secondly the season is fast approaching, Ashley or no Ashley they still need to focus on what they're paid to do.
Can't remember ever hearing of people being shown around the facilities and meeting players last time he tried to sell. Can't remember hearing anyone had completed due diligence. Can't remember any solid claims of bids either.
Rumours rumours and more rumours.
Rumours we didn't have last time though yes? Rumours that have been coroberated by numerous sources as well. Clearly the situation is not the same as last time.
All i see is a weeks speculation caused by an Asian man being spotted at the training ground. It's most probably nothing. Ofcourse the rumours haven't been IDENTICAL, that wasn't really my point.

I never got my hopes up, we've heard nothing over the past few weeks that we haven't heard a million times before, it was bullshit then and it's bullshit now. We're fucked and people are going to have to get used to it.
Alot of Liverpool fans think he's a little s***.
I know. How dare a player want to leave a club as historic as that to try his hand with Real Madrid.
I think it's the way he did it that pisses them off.
It doesn't even matter if he's more effective, i'm pretty sure he's on high wages, probably 50k, atleast over 40k. Can we justify paying him those wages in championship? Not in a million years.
