HawK Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Would I be right If there was nothing to it the club would have rubbished it imo Why? How does that benefit Ashley? It's about patterns of behaviour. Hes quashed Staveley (who was genuine), and Kenyon (who he was mates with), why wouldnt he have dumped these lot by now. He will be inundated with questions, he could have responded at any time and hasn't. Not until after the story had served its purpose 2-3 weeks left to go, expect another drip-fed, sugar-coated shit pill to tide us over till then.

JP Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Why does time elapsing make everyone so nervous here? Look at all the facts of the situation. Don’t speculate and stay patient. We don’t have that long to wait really. Imagine at the Fulham game, saying we’d be close to a takeover by a Sheikh by mid June. Everyone would snap your hand off for that situation. Relax!

Teasy Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 So what we are saying is staveley and Kenyon were set ups. This is just a great coincidence for him and hes gonna be over the moon None of them were setups.. The only thing setup about any of it was the timing of leaks about those past takeover attempts, which always happened near transfer windows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johneddy Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Ashley would have to be some kind of sick twisted psychopath with fully complicit stooges in place to be staging all of this with the intended outcome of being able to chase Rafa, spend nothing - put in place a Neil Warnock or similar and add a few loanees to the squad during the last week of transfers. That would make him akin to Jekyll and Hyde or Norman Bates ... the taking down of the signs and reaction to it being all part of his twisted plot then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I really don't get what an extra five weeks of people not complaining as much buys him if its fake. It'll all unravel before the season begins even with the Fakeover. If its PR, its a poor move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Can you stop saying fakeover please. It's a Sheikhover. The only thing Ashley can be doing is ignoring it all and letting everyone debate about what's actually happening before eventually saying it's not happening. There's nothing staged on his part. Worst case scenario is that he's just laughing at all the speculation knowing he's not going anywhere, then eventually rubbishing it all. At that point all the conspiracy theorists will come out shouting TOLD YOU SO. I'm still at the point now where I'm still hopeful he decides to accept and fuck off... So far there's been nothing to make me think that's not going to be the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johneddy Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 If Ashley’s ultimate goal is to get rid of Rafa, he doesn’t have to stage any fakeover. He just needs to let Rafa’s contract expire. The only reason to stage a fakeover would be to get the hopes of fans up before dashing them just as the season begins. But he does if the conn is indeed the intention here ... it buys him all of June and most of July to get in a replacement who is happy to spend 'all of the money the club generates' plus a loanee or two to keep the fans onside. In short it is just possible and I stress the JUST that another 90mill quid in the back pocket that bought Debenhams last year is his goal and who knows that is surely ... worth putting 5 mill in a Sheiks back pocket to play along to his merry tune All conjecture but getting into the mind of a psychopath driven purely by profit is interesting stuff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I think it’ll happen eventually. I just wish we could have some clarity of what stage we are at. Chronicle over last couple days saying PL test not started and mirror saying they havnt even presented proof of funds. Also they are consistent in saying there are other bidders.

Only Ashley, the law firms and the proposed new owners, and possibly the Premier league will know. As many have said I highly doubt they'd have made those public statements if they didnt believe them to be true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Little Waster Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Heres how it works , Ashley sees the abortive bid for Liverpool makes a mental note and when the time is right he signals a willingness to talk to Sheikh Thingymuhjig knowing full well they are timewasters ... drags the whole thing out over another close season , lets Rafas contract run out and shortly before the season starts appoints another yesman as manager and complains about said tyrekickers /time wasters not being serious ...

Don’t be stupid. That makes no sense. Are you thick ? The fans will be upset and pissed off if Rafa leaves yes? So what your suggesting is Ashley concocts a plan to get the fan base even more rilled up and pissed off (when takeover fails) and then let Rafa’s contract run out.

gdm Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Thinking about it logically and not like a mental case. Rafa met with Ashley. He’s been given an offer and Rafa is waiting it out to see what happens with takeover. If by the last week of June there’s no positive news on the takeover Rafa will give his decision wether he’s staying or going. By all accounts he’s still doing work behind the scenes and doesn’t have to decide till end of June. A conspiracy ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
