TRon Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 We really need strengthening. Don't care who funds it or who reimburses who. I get that that's a fan perspective and the realities of business are different when talking about multiple hundreds of millions and our shaky premiership survival. So the fact the buyer and seller here are (allegedly) in a standoff over it just fucking sucks for everyone. Fans. Rafa. Players. Everyone. I think Staveley and co are waiting on Ashley to blink. They know that he knows that if we go down, the buyers walk, Rafa walks, the club isn't likely to return and he's fucked. He, on the other hand, is just a fucking twat with more stubbornness than sense who might just chance it than feel like he's getting pushed around. Hope it's sorted soon. I don't think Ashley will budge from his price, so Stavely & co are probably going to wait and see where we finish before completing the takeover IMO. The price has no doubt already been agreed, we just need to stay up now. Ashley's refusal to agree to a relegation clause has probably stopped this going through in time to strengthen properly this window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitely Content Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I don't understand why Ashley has to be in the country for the ball to get rolling? We're in the age of smartphones & instant worldwide communication, seems bizarre for this to be a hold up? Surely can't be as simple as Ashley is on holiday so we can't sign anyone until he's back? Seems very simplistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 OF course he will have extended his holidays he doesn’t need to be here as it’s not his club anymore. If it was a done deal Stavely would be funding transfers. It's his club and we're knackered until the deadlock breaks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems very simplistic. Ashley is quite simplistic though. It's simple he is a c***. He has always had angry teenager syndrome. When he is pressured to do something he will do the opposite on purpose whatever the cost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I know but Ashley is admittedly not that hands-on with the negotiating etc anyway, so him being present or not seems somewhat irrelevant... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Isn't involved in the day to day running of the club either so transfer budget shouldn't be a problem either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Ashley hates us but I'm sure he won't choose a holiday that'd cost him a multi-million sale. He'll not be active with transfers anyway and the sale is probably done. Non-story for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
