Dokko Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I for one trust Dokkos gut feeling and Mike Ashley more than the likes of Caulkin. I trust Caulkin, but he was fed 3rd hand news and spun a yarn. It was a clever campaign from her, in the end though not serious enough to come back at any time in the last year, even when interest has sparked again by other bidders. Not sure if she was just an Ashley pawn, the setup meal makes me think so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if she was just an Ashley pawn, the setup meal makes me think so. What did she stand to gain from not being a serious bidder? She didn't get any good publicity from the bid and, in any event, she doesn't work an industry where good publicity makes a difference. If anything, not making a serious bid would damage her reputation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 He sat in her living room for an interview with her iirc. I would say the reason she hasn't come back is because Ashleys a piss taking cunt, and he also rejected 3 offers from her. Guessing it gets to a point where you realise you aren't going to get the deal you want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stal Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I always thought her serious. She even went public with her more than fair offers after ashley said she was wasting his time. Its this one I don't feel is real. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmy1892 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Someone from another toon forum, he isn't a bullshitter. "I'm not in the know, but just got a call from someone i trust. They are claiming the takeover is all but signed and new will break in the next week or so. I went through the whole bullshit claims and he is adamant that its done and its come from the accounts department within the club. If this is indeed true - happy f***ing days. Kenyon is the man and if he is involved then I am happy to believe we will become a sporting club again, as opposed to whatever the f*** we are and have been in the last decade."

Guessing it gets to a point where you realise you aren't going to get the deal you want. Ashley called up Sky when he was pissed to call her a time waster ffs, it's pretty clear why she couldn't be bothered dealing with someone like that after such an incident. Also, let's not forget it was Ashley who, in the original for sale statement, claimed he would welcome staggered bids, which she offered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine if anyone inside the club was going to know about a takeover it would be the finance department and even if an NDA had been signed stopping either buyer or seller from speaking about details of the takeover, it doesn't stop someone from inside the club leaking information. I'm pretty sure that's how the vast majority of insider share trading is done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it just be solicitors and the potential buyer? In my experience, anyone working on, or with access to the information around the deal. So if someone in accounts has anything to do with it, they should be asked to sign an agreement. Of course, people do talk, but anyone in a high enough position to know about this won’t be the type to leak it. The only person leaking info is Bishop.
