Teasy Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I would hope that the only involvement ashley will have on any transfers in January is stumping up the wallpaper cash knowing that it will be repaid once the takeover is complete. If he is indeed just putting the money in for transfers, he should have fuck all to do with the ins and outs of wages offered etc. As long as the sale is agreed in principle then aye there's no reason at all for him to have anything to do with that. Since its the club/Stavely who will have to pay wages ect. Ashley should have no reason at all to get involved, in fact if he does and fucks things up with transfers he could potentially fuck up the sale as Stavely could see that we haven't done enough to stay up and pull out of the deal.

Matt Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I hope not, while she'd make for a glamorous owner, I doubt she's got the sort of money it would take to take us up a level in a hurry. Sounds like bollocks anyway. Maybe we should wait for one of the other zero interested parties to come in? And what's the hurry? We just need to stablise and build over time.

Teasy Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Micky Quinn on Talksport saying it's Staveley buying us solely and also it was stated that Ashley is busy with SD stuff at present so no news today. I hope not, while she'd make for a glamorous owner, I doubt she's got the sort of money it would take to take us up a level in a hurry. Sounds like bollocks anyway. Maybe she will own the club herself (rather than PCP) but then use funds from PCP to invest in the club? Seems like she basically has full reign to invest the $30bn in funds that PCP controls, or thats how it sounds from articles I've read anyway.

Sean Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 What I don't quite get is who went to the papers etc saying 'a deal is nearly agreed'. Not agreed, but 'nearly'. Pretty clear it must have been intended to help the team yesterday, not that it worked. Then the denials again today Getting pretty bored of the whole thing at the minute.

I'm assuming this is a joke? whats the hurry? we are currently headed down The they clearly aren't going to buy the club and just let the squad sink. Otherwise they could wait until the summer when it has. But even if they weren't going to funnel colossal amounts amounts into future kitties, just running the club properly and acting with some kind of integrity should be enough for us all to be over the moon.

That would be fine longer term, but we need a pretty big initial investment in players just to get us at a level where we can compete in this division. Years of penny pinching have left us with a championship squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Irrespective of whether she is buying for herself or not, we're away from Ashley and she only has to sleep with an arab prince and next thing you know Messi Ronaldo Griezmann Berahino is signing for us.

Years of penny pinching have left us with a championship squad. Totally agreed. But I still don't understand anyone getting sniffy about a new owner, because they aren't going to pay Ashley all that cash then let it crash and burn. That's a given.

Kanj Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 When local press like Edwards writes shit like that it’s such a fucking pathetic show on his part. Knows damn well the supporters are gasping for info or news yet he doesn’t write with any grace or humility and instead feels the need to be a pure on ass about it.

B-more Mag Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 How long do people think a deal like this should take to negotiate and close? I mean as a fan it's frustrating, but objectively it doesn't seem to be moving unreasonably slowly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to make another meaningless predicton that by the time we play Burnley (h) on transfer deadline day, it'll be done and dusted. Obviously PCP have hopefully by then stuck some money in for transfers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-421 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Ashley is going on Holiday? Which, you would think, lends support to the idea that a deal isn't that far from agreed, if not already, following on from 'curry night'. If negotiations were still at a distance, then surely they wouldn't have met, and/or him be disappearing on holiday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Edwards strikes me as the sort of person that thinks he's doing the world a favour by simply performing tasks that are in his job description. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
