How can anyone be sure of this? It's not like we are privy to any list of the super rich? There's money out there of it's looked for. Let's not forget good old mike p*ssed away our chance to be city

 

how did he do that ?

It's genuinely difficult to think of a football motivated buyer TBH. If there was such a thing, then they would need to be prepared to sink massive amounts of cash into the club to force us very far beyond the top 5 or 6 reliably. Buying a football club is basically a money pit for most people, without the SD promotion sideline that Ashley has.

 

Assuming we're after someone who's not in it just to make money and/or promote their other interests.

 

I genuinely think that what we're after doesn't exist. If it did they would be lobbying in the background trying to win public support.

 

How many sugar daddies are that arsed about whether a club is turning a profit or has an ex glazier tied up as manager for a few years? None, not one.

 

How many corporations are going to pay over the odds to buy him out? None, not one. They've got Boards and/or Shareholders to whom they're answerable.

 

What are we left with?

 

What we've got, I'm afraid.

 

You don't force someone like MA out. That just doesn't happen.

Super rich are generally that wealthy having had experience of being successful in business dealings and having achieved 'value'. They've got to negotiate the purchase of NUFC with any egotist who will be hell bent on maximising his return.

 

There's easier ways of getting into football.

IIRC went to Abu Dhabi or Dubai and rather than attending the proposed meeting him and Dekka went on the lash.

didn't that trip to Abu Dhabi or Dubai take place after City got taken over? They definitely went there after the Keegan fiasco

Yeah you could be right, he definitely declined City's owner's though before they bought the. I'd assume the Keegan fiasco trip was to meet people with a similar wealth

I'm not sure he did or at least I don't recall any press reports of such and lord knows they'd take the chance to repeatedly ram it down our throats every single time we play city that we missed out on that.

He went out there alright looking for that kind of person and didn't find any willing to buy the club iirc

He wouldn't talk to them over the phone, they rang the club and he wouldn't speak to them.

It was reported the fat greedy twat wanted a massive amount of money for the club though, directly resulting in it not being sold.

What does this mean for Ashley now?

 

I mean Mort, Llambias, and now JFK have all walked out on the same/similar role. If the guys friends can't even work for him then what the hell is going on?

 

Mort was temporary so he didn't really walk. Llambias did walk as JFK was appointed without his knowledge while he was on holiday.

 

JFK was pushed imo. It's just one fat mess with only one bonus. The tramp is gone.

Not fooling anyone you fat cunt. This was part of the plan all along. That senile duffer was just a buffer between him and those on the management wanting investment in the squad.

 

Nice try, but you'll still not get a penny from me. Hope the majority won't be fooled by this charade either.

get the feeling Llambias might come back.

 

Also Mort was only ever going to work for one year, wanted to get back to his legal practice iirc and was helping Ashley settle in for the first year
