Media give info about takeover. “Lies. If it was real the media wouldn’t have this info, it’s all planted by Fat Ash. The club admitted to the tribunal...”. Media is quiet about takeover. “Well everything has gone quiet. We’ve been done again”.

Ronaldo lol tried to head it in whilst being offside and in front of keeper - idiot Had a stinker tbh, missed 3 massive chances. Fewmin at the cameraman following him at the end n'al.

Dybala disallowed a last minute screamer.

Juve have been shite.

At least another 2 Aye, of celebrations of the sale.

CSKA bumming Real at the Bernabeu.

Maybe but I still say the money being quoted for him is just stupid for a player playing at that level. In a footballing world where Leicester reject bids of £25m for Demarai Gray, I don't what prices are stupid now tbh.

Rafa seems to rate him, good enough for me. And the fact that if it happens, a deal for that kind of money that is, it must surely be Rafa finally getting one of his top choices.

£24m, actually.

Bollocks. If that ends up being true, anyone going to the Fulham game on the 22nd, I'll get your pre match pints in.

:thup:

Most believable article yet.

I'm just clinging to the hope that he knows we're now at the most attractive we'll ever be under him (Rafa and Premier League), if he doesn't sell now, we lose both of those and bang goes his last chance of getting anywhere near what he wants for us. Pretty sure I thought similar this time last year Rafa is gone if Ashley is still here at the end of the season. I think the two of them both know they see the club as different entities in terms of what it is and what it could be. If Rafa goes, for Ashley to want to carry on his shite of spending minimally to get PL safety, he'd need to spend significantly on the playing staff as the twat brought in as manager will be some clueless cunt. If that happens, relegation will surely happen and no PL and no Rafa would equal a major drop in both value of the club and advertising for his horrid company. I think right now would be the time to sell in terms of maximising profit for the club, but you can never second guess that wanker. Also if we go down next season who would Ashley be able to cash in on to minimise his losses? Last couple of times he was able to sell big names to fund spending for promotion and still minimise losses. Couldn't do the same this time because we've got nobody that would be in demand. Yep. I personally think the 'its a cash cow for him, why would he sell' point only washes with Rafa here; there'll be no Rafa next season if Ashley doesn't sell and that squad won't stay up without him. 1-3 signings between £1m and £15m, which is Ashley's imposed limitations on the club in the transfer window, won't change that. If he doesn't sell this time it's out of spite, which I don't think any of us will put past him, the sociopathic cunt.

Not anymore.

Focus on the leeg marra

At the risk of repeating what's been said billions of times in the past week, it's all on him to fuck it up, again. If the sale doesn't happen now, we'll be stuck with him for a long long time unless he suddenly decides to accept a low-ball offer...ha!

Regarding the former, it'll be either the HMRC thing or SD, but Martin Hardy says here that a takeover would result in a clean break from SD. Agree with the latter and that's been the Achilles heel since forever.

The Kenyon stuff came to light before the Leicester home game, Ashley's first game back was at Palace the week prior. The rest of your post I agree with and that is the worry. I do think the Staveley stuff looking back was played out a bit too much in public; her appearance at the Liverpool game, the curry house (whether that was staged or not), etc. She did make 3 bids though and the fat cunt didn't take any of them, which was the issue then and is still the same issue now if/when one is lodged as you say.

I remember reading at least one group is that far, Kenyon's I think but a bid hasn't been made. Which is what everyone's waiting for apparently.

Didn't have you down as just as much of a perv as Dave.

Who is in the original photo btw? It was in the first Rafa thread as well.

Invalid tweet? It was Douglas saying "As an addendum, Rafa had been expecting news on the takeover on Sunday which didn't arrive."

Will he not see it as unsustainable for his vile model of spending as little as possible to stay in the league? The average net spend of PL clubs this year has been around £43m which he refuses to match. His refusal to match that whilst promoted clubs are spending that or more means relegation struggles which we would be dead and buried in if not for Rafa. Rafa is gone if Ashley remains. Is he not trying to get out at the maximum profit he can to focus on his shitty retail without having the bother of us going after his shite shop? It's the only real reason I can come to regarding him actually selling and not lying again. Based on the speculation and the mild optimism in the press, I do feel that he is trying to get a deal done to sell the club. He will only spend money on players if we have the money physically in our account, and will not speculate to accumulate. If he does speculate and say sanction deals for club record fees, then he is doing what he has never done for this club - pay going rate, pay in installments, structure deals like every other club does. Yep. From the people I've spoken to in the MG, they've been advised it's legit, like. It's not a case of there being no potential buyers it's whether Ashley is going to be a cunt and move the goalposts. That’s been the situation for the best part of a decade though... Quite a few think there are no buyers, that Kenyon et al are all in on some sort of Ashley conspiracy to fool the fans.
