LV Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 When (ok, if) a takeover ever happens I’m genuinely scared to find out how much of the club’s entrails he has ripped out on the way out. I reckon we don’t know the half of the asset stripping he’s done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelveys Hair Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 While Im highly sceptical of anything that Mike Ashley does, says or even hints at, I was thinking the other day that after our performance against Liverpool infront of a worldwide audience on TV and the fact there are all English clubs in both Champions League and Europa finals it could well drum up a bit of interest in us. There is no better time to buy an English club, it might as well be us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon we don’t know the half of the asset stripping he’s done. I think the whole 'asset stripping' talk is overdone. Asset strippers see the sum of the parts as being worth more than the whole and move fast and get out with a quick profit. Ashley's been here over a decade and has sold off the Gallowgate plot and one by the training ground with the vast amount of his invested capital still tied up in the main business of the club. What's more important is the complete lack of maintenance on the ground and the lack of capital spend on training facilities which means any new buyer will have a hefty bill to get us back up to the standards that would be expected of a top flight club.

It wont be so much asset stripping as other things built in, so many years free advertising, being tied in to merchandising deals etc. I'm fairly sure that's why people look at the books and walk off after agreeing with the initial price.

NG32 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 It's not necessarily saying WE have a data room. It's just saying that it's at a stage that is known (by who, fuck knows) as the 'data room' stage.
