The stories about the buyers wanting some sales to decrease the overdraft/ wage bill seem to be pretty widely reported by the likes of Caulkin.  I'd guess that the squabbling is over the overdraft (rather than the whole debt to Ashley).  For example Fat Fred is said to be offering 60m, the Malaysians 85 plus dealing with the overdraft.  They may only accept a bid when it reaches 100m plus taking on the overdraft.  This also tallies with the .com etc sources saying Ashley is trying to squeeze out a bit more.  We3 might be here a while longer yet kids

That Guardian article seems a bit better researched than some of the other s**** in the past few weeks.

 

Lift it from the Chron, season with a pinch of financial jargon, reheat and serve up as fresh. Job done.....

MOst places (ie) Talkshite are reporting that these bids are meeting the asking price and away we go.  Are we being TOO negative here?

No we are being realistic, we have been carried away before time and time again, this time its only natural to be a bit pessimistic.

A lot are being too downbeat IMO. People seem to only indulge in either unbridled delerium or suicidal levels of pessimism on here.

 

Personally I think we can approach this with some degree of caution. It's patently obvious something is happening after the two stadium/training ground tours by flush foreigners and various rumours, I just think we can't get too excited as it could drag on for another week or two.

Its just like wearing a blob mate, can spoil the fun takes away a bit of the pleasure but well you do have to protect yourself after all.

If we like this and nothing happens its not such a let down.

Even if the sale does go through soon it has already dragged on way too long. If we get promoted next year i'll eat my face.
