I'm not saying she should 'just pay it', rather that you'd hope she has a better idea of the type of clown she's dealing with and what it'll take to get the deal done. Again, she can value the club all she wants but if he won't sell for £100m less than his actual asking price or whatever then it's dead anyway. I'd imagine there must be ways to reach a compromise that don't just involve ponying up the cash in full. Aye, I'm sure she knows she's dealing with a grade A c***. As you say there must be a way to reach a compromis, but to me if mike Ashley isn't going to give any compromise at all, ie not accepting anything less than his valuation, and not accepting any of the clauses, then the deal was dead before PCP even came along as these sort of clauses were inevitable in our current position. number9 above saying 'if she wants it as much as she says...' hinting that she's not really serious is mental. She is obviously serious and put 3 bids in. But as always there's only one person to blame for it not moving forward positively imo.

But why would you go to his asking price when you've put a lot of work into valuing the club and don't believe the club(in it's current position) are worth anywhere near what he's asking? I wish as much as the next person that she would just pay it, but to say she's wasting time or SHOULD just pay the extra is ridiculous. That would change if we were safe or didn't have the hmrc thing hanging over us obviously.

seems pretty low...we're 25/1 just to win on bet365

that's f***ing comical "go on, pay what I want to prove you're serious...I dare you!" What an absolute cunt man. Contrary to what I said earlier about thinking he wants out, if he is actually saying this shit, it definitely sounds like he's just trying to be a cunt so she walks away.

There wasn't any heat on him at all. If he's done it, it's purely for s***s and giggles. He wants out, but wants x amount and won't budge. To be honest I think it's even less likely now that this little war of words has started.

Which is basically what the whole 'no offers' shite has been about. I like how she basically called his bluff about other bids "someone has bid £350m!" ... "nee bother, but gis a shout when that is proven to be a lie"

Isn't that something that happens when the PL do their 'checks'?

Aye. I literally wouldn't sell anyone without bringing people in first. We're just getting shafted again.

Not at all. They've based their offer on months of due diligence, threat of relegation, investment needed and god knows what else. Ashley's based his asking price on the fact he wants x amount of profit. Also ashley is a lying parasite.

Just more games imo.

That free kick Shelvey blasted into level 7 from 18 yards out was a chance as well. Has flashbacks to Atsu's class free kick against Cardiff last season. He should have taken it, Fabianski left a massive space to his right Yup. Was made for Atsu that.

class

He's such a fuckin cunt man.

There you have it, zero and persy confirm everything we didn't want to hear. Goodbye cruel world.

Stupid thing is, no matter how much i don't believe them, there's always the tiny bit if me that hopes.

Thank f*** for that. I was starting to get withdrawals from bullshit rumours.

Hell on now. Game sounds feisty n'al.

This isnt sounding good

So when we start the kids people complain were not taking the cup seriously, play a full strength team and people complain still. Rafa can't win Its great to take the cups seriously, but not when you are fighting relegation with a supposed Championship squad and have no budget to change it. Begging for a key injury, and we got it. Calm down Alan. If we go down it won't be due to a cup run. 3-0 1st half shows the team was overkill. Fuckin hell man. We're 3 up try to be happy. You don't even know if it's a key injury yet. I am actually trying but an injury to our most key player has really taken the shine off it. It is a shitter, but it might be nothing. No point worrying till you find out the extent. It's not like he was on the wrong end of a crunching challenge, it was off the ball. Could just have easily happened in training or against swansea. I just don't think it was the wrong decision to start him today. I really hope not, and glad we're winning...but i wouldn't have even had him on the bench. This isn't hindsight btw as i said in the match thread plys the kids plus Joselu, i'd play anyone who doesn't matter...i'd even have played Colback for this one, might even get someones attention to get him out of here. Fair enough. I'm just happy we're making it comfortable. They could do with the confidence as a few have said.

Went off in ambulance. Rafa was crying.
