Kanji Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 100M + Spurs season tickets and Ash would sell for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMc Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 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.

magorific Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 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..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Wouldn't surprise me if all the bids were made by Shepherd, just so he gets a share in the club, and keep us miserable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Icke - Son of God Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 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.
