Shearergol Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I'm going to be controversial here, and suggest the hoardings being taken down has absolutely fuck all to do with any takeover. Nothing whatsoever. You’d be about the 20th person to say it tbf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest godzilla Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I'm going to be controversial here, and suggest the hoardings being taken down has absolutely f*** all to do with any takeover. Nothing whatsoever. Nobody knows nothing about what's happening with the signs. If the hoardings are being taken down and Ashley is selling then I would very much doubt he would put them back up. Looks like there maybe some signs being taken down, but for a start with the picture of the skip we don't even know when it was taken. Mofo earlier stated that signs had been taken down in the Milburn stand and he was there yesterday. So fuck knows Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I'm very eager to get past the part where we wonder whether the takeover is real and get to the part where we gradually realize the new owner is worse than Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I genuinely do feel he actually does want to sell and this time he is getting what he wants cash wise. He's going to make a tidy profit out of it also. I've always felt that him being a willing seller was utter BS though (stated purely to ease tensions with the fans)... even if he scooped 350M from the sale, that's nothing compared to the meagre funds he outlays on the club vs all the TV money, free SD advertising, player sales etc. over the long-term. We've never been anything more than a SD advertising vehicle and a steady stream of proven income in his eyes. I'm definitely not banking on anything until it's official like. This is what gets me also. He took £33 million out of the club less than 18 months ago, plus free advertising, some money from our merchandising and god knows what else. He hasn't reduced the price by £33 million though, notice that. Why would you sell? You'd gamble on staying up and taking more money out surely (if you are a selfish cunt that is). I've been as cynical as anyone about this whole thing I'll admit, however at least it would appear as if we have a willing buyer. Although we've been here before and it hasn't come to anything. I really want this to be different but I still can't believe until it's official either. Rafa and new owners who aren't a disaster is still a dream to me.

ponsaelius Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 The thing is even Ashley must realise he's another shitty gamble away from ending up with a permanent Championship club worth half what it is now and no global PL exposure for his brand. That would be the only thing that would make me think he'd be happy to scoop 350 mill upfront and move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribesman Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Don’t think the signs are relevant to the takeover in the slightest tbh. Was hoping the lads on here who were giving positive information would’ve provided some kind of expected timescales, I am hopeful it’s going to be done soon but at the same time fear it’s weeks away. I don't think it will be done until the end of June if it does get done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a chance he would lower the price as he is a businessman. Still maintain he is a willing seller and looking to use the money to invest in his actual dedicated expertise.

I don't think it will be done until the end of June if it does get done. All depends when the fit and proper test process started. If it was at the time or even before the statements were released then I think it will be very soon and certainly before the end of June. The fact that the new company was created yesterday (could have been weeks ago or when the statement was released) suggests to me things are moving ahead very quickly.

And it's the first chunk of cash he's been able to get his hands on in years. At the current rate, it will be a long time before he gets to £350m and he knows that the squad needs investment meanwhile his main business venture is having its own problems which no doubt MA will want to be hands on with. It's an ideal time to sell. As for the other stuff, even if the outsourcing of the NUFC retail was bent in favour of SD (and there's no real reason to do that) it's absolute buttons compared to the cash that comes in from the TV deal.
