Dave Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 What else is fucking daft is the fact the Chronicle's article specifically claims the club contacted them. So Llambias contacted the local media to clear things up a bit, and all he came up with was three sentences that don't actually say anything at all?

Skirge Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 More than 2 less than 3?... I think this is more to stop that shit that its going to take another month to sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Well it does say something to be fair, just not very clearly. If we actually believe him then we now know that the price Ashley wants for the club has been met by at least two parties, which is a pretty huge step forward. I wonder when Sky Sports News will pick up on this and what the wonderful Mr Craig will have to say about it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Maybe, just maybe even giving exact information on the number of parties bidding for the club breaks the non disclosure agreement. Or he's worried it might so he's said more then two to let us know that there are numerous parties bidding without having to get to specific? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Got to remember to take anything which Del Boy (Llambias) says with a pinch of salt. The man and the regime have been only too happy to lie when it suits. When the I's have been dotted and the T's crossed on the sale, can we only believe anything.

Guest Spark Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Is it not possible the Chronicle asked him "are there two bidders?", and he responded by saying something like "there's more than that", and they modified his quote? Why the fuck would he say "more than two"? Anyway, this is good news! Unless of course he's just full of shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
