Altamullan Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Sky have been Nuke's mouthpiece for years and will run any story he feeds them. Last night it was bid increased today it's off, are Ashley & Amanda playing each other through the press? Nuke Was supposed to say "Mike's" but we can stick with Nuke. Nuke Ashley. If only...

Hhtoon Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 "Carefully considered" does sound a bit sh1te. He's clearly over valued but seems PCP were way off the mark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 There's every chance that they met the asking price as well btw. It's specifically the sort of ignorant behaviour that he's known for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I don’t see how anything has changed. PCP submitted an offer that Ashley didn’t want to accept and that’s it. Neither is prepared to budge a great deal so they’ll either find a compromise or PCP will walk away. That was always the case. The only problem is now Fat Mike might up his price because of the new TV deal. PCP will probably be prepared to pay more though if our PL status is assured for next season. Same same. You don't see how much has changed? The language used was pretty insulting to someone who brokers big deals for a living Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 There's every chance that they met the asking price as well btw. It's specifically the sort of ignorant behaviour that he's known for. Exactly. The amount of ill feeling he’s created and caused with other chairmen when buying and selling players would suggest he’s a fucking nightmare to deal with. Every possible bit of evidence points to Ashley being the one who’s not playing ball or doing things properly or with even a modicum of respect and class. The bloke is a weapons grade cunt. Always has been and always will be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 It's amazing how depressed this is making me, I'm grumpy with everyone at home. Cat got told to feck off when she wanted a fuss. Nutted the jehovah's witness that knocked, poor old girl. I'm so sick of Mike Ashley, honestly how does one man make you want him to die in such a fashion it harps back to the holocaust.

Minhosa Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 A part of me hopes we go down cos the cunt will have absolute misery for ages.

Tsunami Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 So the club is still for sale yet Ashley uses language that quite clearly says I’m a fucking nightmare, don’t even try to negotiate with me. Any remaining middle eastern interest will be dead in the water after this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I just think its Ashleys way of saying to the pcp group . Talking is now over you know my price either paid it or walk away from it. . That's the hope right ? Or the alternative is, he never intended to sell at all. He put us up for sale so he could avoid giving Rafa funds in the summer, timed this so it's too late to do things properly. Sounds far fetched right ? It's Ashley and his cronies, nothing is too far fetched for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I think people are looking for complicated answers to something that's much more simple. The consortium became interested when we were about 6th in the league. Since then, the results have slipped and we're a far less enticing prospect. Although PCP may have started off thinking in terms of £250m - £300m, there's no way they can risk that sum now for an asset whose value might slip to £100m (if that). At the same time, Ashley isn't going to accept a bid of around £100m for a club whose value isn't going to go below that figure and which might easily be worth far more in a few months' time. The idea that a deal could be struck whereby Ashley would effectively pay back part of the £300m in compensation in the event of relegation is completely unrealistic. He would be bearing the risk of relegation whilst having no say about how much was invested in the transfer window to prevent that happening. All the signs are that if we stay up, the deal will be back on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFC has helped inflate SD far beyond what he's put into the club. He could give the club away and still be quids in. You think he'll stay around if we go down and never come back? He'll drop the club into administration as soon as he's finished with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
