ianovthetoon Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 If £70M was the most anyone had bid, and time was dragging on, I think he'd take it, but the purchase price would be undisclosed to save a little bit face Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/89818/Night-on-the-Toon/ All Llambias would say was: “We’re trying hard, there’s serious interest but it’s a case of first past the post.’’ Sounds like it's basically as mentioned above; they want £100m and are just waiting for someone to offer it.

Any interested parties have signed a NDA... The press don't know anything and are just guessing... The supporters are bloody nervous and cling onto anything tangible like a quote... Who gives the quotes and could make it all clear if he wanted to and, as before, is absolutely shit at managing our expectations? You guessed it.. Can't believe Ashley hires a professional PR man (apparently) then lets this idiot run riot with one of his biggest assets.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I think what Llambias meant by first over the finish line, was whoever is first to complete the legal work and all this in-depth investigation of the finances. What seems clear is that Ashley is only prepared to deal with people who are prepared to meet the £100m price. He announced the price at the start to prevent people from haggling over smaller amounts, which can be the real time waster, and obviously is what lots of businessmen love to do, especially at the later stages of negotiation. It's difficult to pinpoint the value of a football club, and saying that the club is worth £70m not £100m is just an artificial pose. The Profitable Group know the boundaries that Ashley has set, know full well that their bid won't get accepted, and are doing it for the publicity again.

Its pretty simple to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Sunday Sun has learned that under 15,000 new season tickets have been sold.' They may know this as fact but they later guess the 3 year deals at 'several thousand' which quite frankly is nothing but a randon number to spruce the story up. Nearly every fan i know has one and thats just my local......i would say 3 year deals(both kinds as one was not refundable) were considerably higher. Figures in excess of 25000 would be a fairer amount. Given the utter shambles we are in thats actually very impressive if albeit totally crazy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roger Kint Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 No! Do you work for the ticket office? My point proven. Neither does Neil Farrington to my knowledge. A quick sift through his backlog of articles highlights a fair level of guesswork and unfounded claims. By all means you stuff your face with the scraps of what journalists feed you but dont be shocked when another juicy titbit they throw at you is nothing but fat and grissle.
