Mike Ashley (former owner) (still alive)

The thing is, Ashley's a wild card. f***ing bought a club without due diligence. I wouldn't put it past him to sign a letter of intent with a potential buyer but say he's not going to pay the lawyers to read and negotiate a full-blown stock purchase agreement until he has confirmation that SKBZAN is likely to pass the owners' and directors' test and only then go to an SPA. Not saying it's rational or likely, but he's also not a play-it-by-the-book kind of guy. It would also explain a fairly significant time lapse until the deal gets done (if it gets done). The whole thing of it being public is also just weird. This is not the type of thing that usually comes out without some sort of joint or coordinated press releases with a clear message. It's just weird. Anyway, there's just not enough info to do anything but speculate, so . . .

 

Just stick to what you know what has happened otherwise you sound like what the journalists and twitter ITKs are doing by jumping to conclusions and speculating without knowing anything. Unless there is an official statement from the club or Ashley all we can do is assume everything is proceeding as the original statement indicated. We can all have opinions and gut feelings no harm in that, but nobody knows what is happening, so best to stick with what we know until we hear official notification.

 

It's a football forum designed for discussion and opinions ffs.

 

I agree but your putting it across like it's factual.

 

Hint - If someone starts a post with 'imagine' that's fairly unlikely to be someone trying to pass something off as a fact.........

 

Not sure why you think you can dictate what people discuss in this thread tbqh.

 

If you don't want discussion, views and opinions, don't go on a forum.

 

ok  O0

at this point we're talking about a middle eastern businessman versus a loose cannon in MA. Couldn't be two different human beings on opposite ends of the table :lol:

 

With one thing in common. Wealth. And when the fat lad bought the club, he didn't leak it first  ;).

Until I hear an official notification sorry I'll stick to what you I know. All I know is that Ashley hasn't said a dickey bird (and in my opinion only as I don't know) judging by past outbursts he would have if he was pissed off. You can quote logic all you want, but at the end of the day you don't know for sure. Respect your opinion though.

 

Lets just stick to facts eh?

"ill stick to what i know thanks" and then make your own judgements about the situation just like everyone else :lol:

 

Seems a strange way to go about for someone pestering everyone about their opinions.

I'd love for this to happen but after reading everything possible about the takeover I just don't know. We've been burned so often during the last 12 years over everything including signings, takeovers, managers, advertising & SJP the level of trust is non existent.

if it is happening and will take some time,a month or so ,it is going to have an impact on rafas preperations if he decides to stay on board,surely all parties will be well aware of this and is probably the biggest part of any discussions
