ElDiablo Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Hmm, would indicate nothing is close. You'd think with all the acrimony between board and fans the last decade, a new owner would recognise the need for fan engagement and genuine investment. Who are we hoping for? Personally hope we don't become another Man City. Just sensible investment over a sustained period with the full backing of Rafa would do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbo Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Not sure about this. Does a club make a statement like this when there is serious buyer out there? And what difference does advertising the club like this make? If you have the power to buy a premier league football club you're hardly going to worry about whether it's been advertised as for sale. I'm skeptical about whether alll this will actually lead to anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 The statement is for the supporters. Those that signed NDA's will have known full well the Club is up for sale for a while tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 We’ve been up for sale before. Remember when he invited offers via email?! Him going can’t come quick enough for me, but I suspect he will have influence for a long time yet. Why? Because he’s a cunt and gets off on being one.

Personally hope we don't become another Man City. Just sensible investment over a sustained period with the full backing of Rafa would do. I'm hoping firstly, and more than anything, for a Mike Ashley tie-in free deal. Getting rid of him has to be the priority. Best case for the next owner has to be well funded and well intentioned imho. That doesn't mean that they have to be a country nor state just that they've got funds to enable us to compete. Being honest, I'm fearful of any sane buyer being able to do a deal with this heinous creature that completely rids us of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 With Rafa in charge we wouldn't spend money like City anyway, even if he had that kind of cash available. He'd spend a lot but not replacing every player if they don't make an impact straight away. Please sell us... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbo Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I'm wondering if he thought he had a buyer over the summer and it fell through, and this is just a desperate move to rustle up another one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley desperately pleading for bidders in the media and suddenly we're debating how we'd feel when we win the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
