Dave Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Still seems very weird to adjust the price of a £350m company based on what happens one Saturday afternoon. That's all I'm sayin'. It's a company that's currently in a serious decline which threatens to take a massive slice of its revenue away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you pay 350k for a cliff side house that edges a foot closer to the sea every week? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 The point is, we could win the next two and edge away from the cliff. Nothing very meaningful has happened that should affect the value of the club. Kind of sorry I made this comment as it's not a big issue at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 The cliff analogy isn't the greatest as it's not really reversible. Try this: a construction company currently has a lucrative fixed-term contract that's up for renewal in May. The client is willing to renew the contract for another year but only if several KPIs are met. After a promising start where it appeared the company would meet its obligations under the contract fairly easily, the parent company put the contractor up for sale because they want to focus on a different line of business. Recently though, standards are slipping massively and staff are underperforming. The management team believe their staff has could be much better and have asked for new blood; they've got their eyes on a couple of people at rival companies that would probably come if the money was right. Everyone is worried that the contract is at serious risk of not being renewed, and there's little else in the pipeline. Why would any interested party pay full whack?

Big Geordie Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 The cliff analogy is correct, as this is Mike Ashley we are talking about. NUFC is never going to get better under him, because he's hollowed the club out over the last 10 years and it's now running on petrol fumes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 If you've got a £350k house sitting on rotten foundations that will cost £100k to fix or the whole thing subsides, you ain't paying £350k for the house. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 What if the lucrative contract this construction company had was to fix the eroding cliff? Too late. Nature is taking its natural course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 If you had a car worth £2k but needed £3k of work to keep it on the road, Roger lent you £1k and Sean lent you £2k but you were behind on your council tax by £500 and you just knocked up your girlfriend, why would you pay for a taxi to the zoo when you worked at an abattoir?
