Mr Logic Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 He's a gambler - and its a good punt that we will get promoted. It's a good punt we'll lose in the play-offs! Our recent track record regarding what happens when it's time to 'stand up and be counted' is, half of them disappear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottledDog Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Still cant get my head round why Moat would put a bid in for less than Geoff Sheards group. He must be aware the 100 mill has already being met. It makes no sense. Do you have a view why Moat would do this unless he has solid information that the GS bid is not realistic. What is the score with Barclays and the overdraft. Does the GS group need it, have they been passed by Barclays? Maybe trying to shave a bit off the price because of his preferred bidder status? The thing I keep coming back to on this is that if I were Ashley I just would not sell now. He won't get his money back if we are promoted but he'll get a lot more back than he would if he sells right now. Ashley seems thick skinned enough not to give a s*** about being branded a liar and being hated - so why sell? But what if we don't get promoted and they have to sell off more players - he would not get £100m then. He's a gambler - and its a good punt that we will get promoted. At some point even a gambler has to stick, maybe he'll finally decided this is one gamble too far. heres what i think, moats bid includes bonuses for if we get promoted, something like that might make a bid acceptable for ma as he'd get more money on promotion What, and give the next fuckwit owner an excuse to avoid promotion!

Dave Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I think the Sheard stuff is a load of bollocks. That's not to say Sillius is lying of course, I simply don't believe the 'foundation' (if it even exists) is in with a shout of taking over the club.

gekkotime Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 The thing I keep coming back to on this is that if I were Ashley I just would not sell now. He won't get his money back if we are promoted but he'll get a lot more back than he would if he sells right now. Ashley seems thick skinned enough not to give a s*** about being branded a liar and being hated - so why sell? Yeah but he'd still need to find a buyer. The club's been on the market for the most part of the last 12 months, and it's proved to be pretty difficult to find someone who's willing and able to put up 100m for the club, I'd imagine it'd be just as hard to find someone who'd fork out even more at the end of the season even if we're promoted. I assume we'll have the same squad as now, and while we'll receive ~20m more in TV revenues next season, we'll have to invest just as much or even more in new players if we don't want to go down again, so the club's true value wouldn't rise a whole lot imo. While all evidence point towards that Ashley is a grade A idiot, I'm sure that either he or one of his advisors are aware of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
