BlueStar Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Didn't MA say few years back that he wouldn't consider selling the club until at least the 2016/17 season? Said he wasn't leaving till we won something (and a champions league place counted as winning something) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki679 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 If it's the bloke from Baidu we're sorted. Imagine Google taking over the club and you're pretty much in the ballpark.

Odear Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Out of interest, how quickly did the takeover at City happen? It was all around deadline day iirc? A late bid for Robinho said signalled the start of the spending Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A late bid for Robinho said signalled the start of the spending It took a month really.. But there was a "Letter of intent" signed on deadline day so the club could bid for players.

The timing now isn't nearly as critical but it would be great if Rafa had some sort of similar guarantee. If there was the lure of a bigger pot to spend it would make sense why some of the nailed on deals have been put on hold Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Please let this cancer on our club leave, chinese, japanise, fucking cantonese, I don't care. I just want to do what I used to love doing - loving my football club again. Rafa and his team I love, but I do not like my club! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I don't know how we haven't been taken over already tbh. When I see every other club being bought up and down the country it seems mad that one with our support base hasn't been snapped up. I don't accept that we don't have international stature either, there's a reason why Rafa is here. Maybe Ashley has been asking for a high price, but again it goes with the stature.

cubaricho Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I always assumed it's because no one would pay £129m in addition to whatever obscene asking price Ashley would no doubt demand. I think it's quoted at 400m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Ashley's got us strangled pretty tight. I won't be surprised if absolutely nowt comes of this. Hopefully it won't be too disruptive either way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Is £400 million too much to ask? We're a big club in England with absolutely loads of potential playing in a league that pays out £100 million plus a season for finishing last. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
