Kimbo Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 The guy that's buying Fulham is probably mainly interested in owning real estate in London. There's non-footballing reasons behind most of these sales. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Location is a big reason for the lack of interest, I'm sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 A pity if that's the case. The future under Ashley, irrespective of the Pardew and JFK factors, is bleak at best and potentially catastrophic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MW Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I have forgotten our situation. Who is actually running the club? Ie doing what llambias did? Is it Kinnear? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I have forgotten our situation. Who is actually running the club? Ie doing what llambias did? Is it Kinnear? Some sort of reshuffle involving Lee Charnley and another bloke on the board. Think JFK is (in theory) concentrating on football matters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Late to the conversation here but there was a murmuring in a SSN story on Khan tonight that he'll eventually look to move the Jaguars to London as well, or so their fans are beginning to think.

Kanj Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Location is a big reason for the lack of interest, I'm sure. Are taxes lower in the North East? Just curious if its location centric like over here in America. Not that it really applies to the topic at hand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Who is khan? The dude who just bought Fulham I think. Also owns an NFL team or summat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Owns the Jacksonville Jaguars. He's a sound guy who has done his utmost best to galvanize the city of Jacksonville to get into their stadiums. He's modernized the logo, uniforms, etc. He has tons of ticket price offers, they are building a damn pool-like endzone atmosphere to get people into the stadium ffs. He really wants people back in the seats to help obviously his investment, but he genuinely has been investing in the city and local business as well. So far, he's done whatever the fans have asked him to do and he listens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Fulham is an interesting purchase, limited fan base and location limits stadium expansion as well. Nice day out on a Saturday mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I mean, purchasing Jacksonville to me makes 0 sense as well, but everyone in the city loves the guy and what he's doing/trying to do for keeping that team there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Yep, have family in Jacksonville and they rave about him. My cousin lives downtown and is really enjoying the things he's doing in the city as well. Put it this way, if he was our owner, I'd be chuffed. I'd also probably figure out a way to get involved with the club as I probably could get in touch with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I used to live in Jacksonville, wow to think it's over 10 years now since then, but the downtown area needed something. It's too big a city that's the problem there, in terms of size it's the biggest in the US I believe, but it is so spread out and doesn't really have a heart to it.

Just curious if its location centric like over here in America. Not that it really applies to the topic at hand. Taxes are exactly the same but the cost of living is much higher in London. The one thing Fulham has is PRIME property on the Thames. The ground would be worth a huge amount if it was ever re-developed for housing or offices.

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 If Fulham can get sold in a day, for a good (rumoured) price, how come this twit can't sell the club. We know he's trying. Al Fayed converted Loans to Equity. Much easier to shift. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hithere Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 no , the holding company that owns the club owes Ashley x amount of money But doesn't Ashley also own the holding company? So in essence he owes himself that amount? I'm confused. Bottom line. If Ashley leaves then he can ask for that money back which is putting off potential suitors? Correct?
