It's there to be denied, so we'll see. It's also incredibly vague, barely more than an opinion piece. Communication between Ashley’s team and Staveley has been happening regularly over the last fortnight or so, according to sources in the City, This is it. I'd be more inclined to believe what's reported in the likes of the FT than what Ryder, Edwards et al are peddling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Everyone associated with this deal from Ashley to Mrs Fox to Rafa has to ask the question "whats in it for me" I imagine that will take some time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Fucking hell, all else aside imagine hitting January and real possibility that Rafa might get to spend proper money on some players he might actually really want in positions we actually need.

Almost like they see a story and know it's clickbait-tastic for easy work, nothing that has been written over the last few days has convinced me that anything is any closer than it was when the club was put up for sale despite what the media is trying to convince us.

Financial Times not reputable enough for you? Not when the stuff that's written is a load of hearsay that says absolutely nothing that we haven't known for weeks. It's all could be this, might be that and on the cusp of this and so on. They are being incredibly clever/careful with their words without saying anything of substance, it's all bollocks imo and i have seen zero to suggest otherwise.

Ameritoon Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I understand your country's poor journalism standards make you wary (on top of Ashley), but that's literally how reporting works, especially when reporting on bigger subjects. FT had a source close to the situation, that's how most info gets into the press. Outlets as large and reputable as FT don't just print things for the sake of it unless they're sure and trust their source, and if they do they heads roll. Honestly, with everything that's come out plus the statement, there's nothing to suggest that nothing is happening. Quite clearly people are interested, whether Ashley is actually serious and willing to meet an asking price is the main question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's been the opposite of what we think, ie how serious Ashley is about selling. How do you mean? Maybe the dialogue hasn't been Ashley asking how serious potential buyers are (as has commonly been the position the club have claimed), but them asking him how serious he is about selling. Maybe he's taken some convincing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, I hope this comes off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
