levelsevenlee Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 The Profitable Group probably never had the money for a bid and only used the club's sale in a cynical attempt to increase their own profile. Yep, unable to provide proof of funds http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11678_5456939,00.html Well, that surely puts a different slant on things - when I saw the headlines, I thought they'd withdrawn because they couldn't agree a price with Fat Mike. The fact that they don't have the money to buy the club in the first place should surely have the headline "NUFC withraw interest in Profitable bid" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They withdrew their interest because Crouch wouldn't move north, i.e. he rejected them. The Profitable Group have withdrawn their interest because they have no friggin money, and to me it seems like they were never likely to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 There was always a massive chance that tey were never serious bidders, Lambias fkd them off from the start, now we know why. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Thomo Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 It may because they are on the verge of accepting someone elses offer.............So they thought, to hell with it lets look as if we have withdrawn our offer before they accepted someone elses, could be a breakthrough for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Wonder where this story has come from then? Probably the club trying to discredit them tbh. Not convinced it means anything at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 My feeling is that Ashley is fairly gung-ho as a businessman. He goes in feet first and then worries about any mess later, as with NUFC. There's probably an inbuilt assumption that other people are the same, and hence this over-optimistic time scale for selling the club, especially considering that any bidder is starting from scratch. Even at a modest price, a deal on this scale is hard to push through quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Bet we're giving away free home kits or stadium tours with every due diligence. Probably just fuckers looking to get those for nowt. Reminds me of that Simpsons episode when Homer takes a test drive in the expensive car just for the free spa tickets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I am sick of this up the arse of Ashley way of doing things by SSN, poor Mike, poor Dereck fkn dies my head in, they do not consider for one moment that maybe just maybe the fat cunt is a nightmare to deal with.

Guest toonlass Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Where are our nutters? I don't mean the fuckwits who shout at Sky cameras, I mean our proper unhinged organised criminal nutters. Surely there must be some mental gangsters or old-style hoolies who are NUFC fans, why haven't they arranged for a horses head in Ashley's bed or something? Well nothing that extreme, a pony's head maybe. Come on lads, sort it out. We buy your pikey DVDs and foreign fags, give something back to the community.
