Mike Ashley (former owner) (still alive)


Recommended Posts

Why are people shitting themselves over comments that can’t be backed up that even if they were made, were made by someone who would have fuck all knowledge of the takeover in anyway?

 

Who do you think the sources are. We all know Ashley likes to feed the press things. If it was 1 or 2 journos I’d just think they were being negative, however it seems like they are all saying the same things. Ashley is up to something.

 

To be honest there’s no point second guessing Ashley. This could happen but history tells us it could very well be a waste of time. At no point do I think it’s some mad conspiracy tho

We have seen this game before from Ashley if nobody meets his unreasonable demands then smear them in the press by saying they don't have the backing to meet his price. I don't like how this is playing out now.

 

My thoughts entirely.

 

But he's not doing this, how does the tweet above indicate in anyway that Ashley is saying they don't have the backing to meet his price?

 

Their sources are obviously in and around the club or Ashley. He maybe making no comment officially but is he passing info to sources that tell the press?

 

Again I'll ask how does that tweet indicate Ashley saying they don't have the backing to meet the price? No official word has come from Ashley or the club and until they do we can only go on the official information which has been released from the group, that a company has been created, that Ashley has shut down several companies and it looks like the signs have actully started being taken down. The media have been virtually silent these last few days as they don't know what is going on. Typical fans hear nothing for a few days and doom and gloom (I am suprised by you mind as you have been pretty much saying the same all the way through). I'm convinced we will get official word either this week or next.

 

I’m trying to stay positive I just don’t understand how all the local and some national journalists are saying the same things and there being no truth to it. They can’t all be guessing. If it was a concrete fact that proof of funds were submitted it’d be 99% certain it was happening.

I don’t really get it. ‘Takeover talks’ were reportedly finished, and the paperwork was with the league.

 

Do we have good evidence that contradicts that?

 

I know it’s frustrating for everyone but just wait and see is the only sensible reaction. Pointless trying to judge if things are more or less likely day-by-day. Journalists need to do that to sell advertising, we don’t.

Unless we see the actual document (which we won't) then all we can go off is the word of an offical statement from the group stating they have, which has not been officially denied. The media claim sources but where is their proof and funnily enough the majority of that media have suddenly went deathly silent. This is a multi-million pound company who have masses to lose if they are giving bullshit information out. Reputation is massive in the Gulf and I'd be astonished if they were putting this on the line and not expect serious consequences. One article about the signs and it's gone to armageddon on here.

I guess the quietness should be a good thing but seeing so many UK journos being unconvinced has me nervous. One negative article? Fine. But it's more than that.

 

Also not a fan of the "all good" updates, which scream amateurs to me.

 

Guess my opinion now hinges on Caulkin's opinion.

Was there official statements last time from Ashley about staveley and Kenyon? Or was it just sources then too....?

 

For Staveley there was, but there was nothing regarding Kenyon.

 

Think with Kenyon he basically admitted himself he was struggling to raise the funds.

They're being hounded every day and if they don't say anything then everyone immediately goes on a huge doubt campaign, bit like this place. One tweet about signs and the whole place implodes. Actually thought it was a stupid suggestion about locking this thread until something official is released, not so sure now.

Whilst not naming Kenyon, Ashley went on Sky News saying a takeover was 'further on than ever before' around the time Kenyons interested had been reported though, didn't he?
