Kimbo Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 If the club gets relegated there's a 0% chance he would get what he wants, in fact he would probably take a loss. No he won’t, he’ll never take a loss. If we go down the top bid for the club will be £250m. I think he’ll be offered the full £300m from Staveley if we stay up. Him accepting that all depends on if he think staying up and the new TV deal results in an increase on that price which he is said to be ready to accept now. Well that's my point really.

henke Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 think its pretty straight forward. stay up and he'll never sell. relegated he might. This is still one of the worst myths peddled on this board. explain. Stay up - he wouldn't sell us. Go down - they wouldn't buy us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'll get 250mill if we go down. He'd bank on coming back up, however he could be thinking if its 250 up front or 300 with a clause that he'd get 300 with no clauses should we stop up (I'd guess most owners have an idea of how much the next TV deal will be worth already)so He'll risk on staying up on what we have plus the minimum incomings.

If anything he makes sure he protects his money by making sure we get back up first time. Under Hughton, we comfortably had the best squad and a very good Championship manager and last season we had Rafa and a very good squad. If we go down this year, we'd have non of these benefits going into a new Championship season. Basically, this could be the time when we find out how Ashley reacts to more than one season in the Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/mike-ashley-tells-rafa-benitez-11886877 A source close to Ashley explained: “Mike feels that Amanda Staveley, who he has no problem with as an individual, has played out the attempt to take over the club in public. Most deals he has been involved in have been struck behind closed doors with the announcement arriving after they’re concluded. “He has seen all the promises of future investment in the club from her and he knows it makes good reading. But quite simply he hasn’t seen proof that the money is in place and has effectively pulled the plug until that situation changes.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching us at SJP, the reportedly unplanned meet at the restaurant, outlining exciting plans for the club and details of the bid. Maybe she was hoping if/when the deal did collapse, there'd end up being more pressure on Ashley because everyone knows. I mean, how many takeovers are as protracted and clearly as public as this?

Robster Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Eh ? Her interview (her first public comment) only came out as a response to Ashley spouting bullshit via SSN. You cannot think that the curry house meeting wasn't planned, man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Her being at the Liverpool match (which was before anything else) is the only thing you could say was overly public. Everything that came before Ashley spoke to SSN was via 'sources' and some of that was being briefed from both sides, such the infamous 'close to a deal' thing all the media came out with. Both sides told the press the same thing. It's quite simply bollocks, as usual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hit an impasse over christmas/early new year which was reported. Game of who blinks first. Ashley blinked publically spitting the dummy out to try and pressure them and it's backfired. Imo.
