I really couldnt care less about this today, makes fuck all difference.

 

Aye, I don't know why people are still clinging to the hope of there being news today. Yes, because in 2.5hrs they'll be able to come in, appoint a manager, sanction a massive spend and bring in a load of new players. :lol:

 

Oh that's alright then.... let's stop all any takeover talks until january. That'll give us 30 odd days to complete a takeover and then sign the players we need. Good move. :pow: :facepalm:

 

The takeover has to be done! The sooner the better! We need to be prepared to bring in players in January.

Ashley now needs to appoint a manager whoever it may be

 

Would love it to be Shearer but i am resigned to Hughton being offered indefinately.

 

The takeover needs to happen and considering DL said nearly 3 weeks ago that he had group more or less at signing stage, i fail to see any other explanation for the delay other than DL is a lying vindictive cunt of te highest order.

Knowing our luck, he'd be on his way to America to sell the club to Bill Gates and he'd fly straight into the Seattle Tower.

 

And he'd leave the club to Dennis Wise in his will.

It's funny that many people took the piss out of Blackburn fans and how they used to treat Nicko like he was a god, especially when alot are falling over each other to get more of Redheugh and his cryptic, attention seeking shit :lol:

Any news Redheugh?

 

Have a look through your most recent posts, and then have a word with yourself.

 

 

 

Your right!

 

Anyway

 

Redheugh? :)

I think I finally understand Ashley's strategy now. He's just completely disillusioned with the club since the Keegan fiasco and is no longer willing to put a single penny into financing the clubs and its significant debts. And I mean that quite literally: players are being sold to keep the creditors at bay and the wage bills down, but none of that money is going to be re-invested into the squad. Not into transfer fees. Not even to into any additional wages.

 

But at the same time he doesn't want to sell the club at a massive loss either. He's a successful businessman, and it grates on him that he'll get so little back on his initial investment. So instead of selling right away, he'll keep running the club with the zero-cost model until a. we get promoted somehow or b. some bloke with too much money and too little sense becomes so desperate that he'll give Ashley his asking price. (The 'real' asking price, not the 100m that's been reported.) In the mean time, the club can at least be kept in the Championship indefinitely by selling off valuable assets and replenishing the squad with loans, youths, and the occasional free transfer. The idea that Ashley "wants" to sell the club also acts as a pretext to keep the fans off his back to some degree. At the very least, we won't be able to start massive protests/boycotts because of the fear that it could scare off any potential investors.

 

I'm guessing the Simpson signing happened because a. Fergie suggested it first, rather than us pursuing him, and b. Man U are willing to pay all of his wages while he is here. This is also why I expect the Lovenkrands negotiations to hit a snag: Ashley and co. are probably barely offering him a pot to piss in. I'm guessing he really wants to come but the terms he's being offered are very-near insulting to his status as a player.

 

I think the first, best hope for this club is that we pull off a miracle promotion this year and then subsequently get sold for a price that suits Ashley. Otherwise, I figure all of our remaining "Premiership" players get sold off and we face an indefinite stay in the Championship fueled by kids, and frees, all of which will be sold for any good cash offer when they come good, with our only hope being the miraculous appearance of a Notts Co-style sugar daddy.

 

I realize that most of this is conjecture and believe me, nobody wishes that I was talking out of my ass more than I do. But right now I think this is where things stand at our club.

There's no way we can cover the losses this club will make in the Championship season after season by continually selling players without considerably dropping the clubs value.  Which isn't going to get Ashley this real price you're suggesting he's after.

 

I agree with your first paragraph about him not being prepared to put anymore money in, I think that's been clear for a while, but not the rest.

So the deadline has passed. Now time for Ashley to take us off the market.

 

This, expect a NUFC statement in the next few days.

 

"no one has come in with a serious offer, so we will keep Chris on as he has done a great job"  No further comment at this stage.
