Mike Ashley (former owner) (still alive)


Recommended Posts

I don't like the direction this proposed takeover is going.

 

Sudden gush of optimism, followed by conflicting reports, then no news and now I'm expecting the familiar final act of Ashley rejecting any deal.

 

Wouldn’t expect anything less

I don't like the direction this proposed takeover is going.

 

Sudden gush of optimism, followed by conflicting reports, then no news and now I'm expecting the familiar final act of Ashley rejecting any deal.

 

That’s because the only article that’s come out with anything has been the WSJ. Every other local or national paper was caught on the hop. But they know this is a once a year spike in clicks so they are happy to feed into the mindset of the obsessed supporter who are also more than happy to get wound up by the whole debacle.

 

Jim fucking White mentions the next 48-72 hours will be critical based on nothing but yet everyone seems to think it goes in tandem with the transfer deadline. It doesn’t.

 

We can probably accurately guess that Mandy and her pals have come in with a decent offer this time and Mike is the one saying “let me have a think about it”

 

He doesn’t really want to sell. We know that. But he might if the deal is sweetened somehow.

 

This whole thing leaking doesn’t make discussions easy now because all eyes are on them all.

 

And it’s Mandy and the Reubens who are negotiating. The other Saudi party don’t need to be part of this, they’ll just cough up the money once it has the green light.

Got to agree, the worse thing to happen in all of this is for our gutter press to get hold of it and start speculating/lying. The first report was the only one that had any facts in its everyone else is putting 2 and 2 together to make £340m.

 

Until/unless there is an official announcement on anything it's best just to ignore these itk red top goons and anything else that appears on the twitterverse.

Why does any conversation about her taking over always descend into comments about what you would do to her sexually?

 

In some way it's probably similar to the reason why talking about Ashley always decend into comments about what you would do to him violently.

Has wor Mandy had her boobs done? Don’t remember them being that big during the last bid. Lovely stuff.

 

Deffo had a tit job. Previous were eggs ??

 

Either way I'd be her b*tch for life if she can get rid of the fatman. Same goes the Reuben fellas. Totally worth it.

Looking like another fade-away story line now. Even the chronic has dropped it.

with these things the sad thing is no news atm is good news I'd be a lot more skeptical if we were seeing somebody mouthing off about who they'll sign etc etc, not great for us waiting to see something happen but thats life

Disapated into thin air now like the last Kenyon one.

There was no official end to that like there had been with BZG and Stavely the first time round. It was just mentioned then not mentioned - so few were taken in by it that there was no need for a line or lie about it, save that for another time. Like to think the press might have enquired as to why that was though but nevermind.

the interest is very real, the stuff in the WSJ is accurate - the issue is Mike Ashley and if he's finally ready to truly sell like he says he will if the buyer comes along to take the club forward. That buyer is here.
