geordiedean Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 People need to be realistic here theres no takeover it's not going to happen we are up against it time wise If BZG were genuinely interested it would have been concluded by now to give them time to settle in and put plans in place for the forthcoming season. As it stands 36 days we have until window shuts and season starts and we have no manager no coaches no goalscorers and a club in utter shambles BZG are in effect paying 350m for a championship club as that is what is certain to happen with or without any takeover That's the reason it's not happening Ashley is just asset stripping as a giant fuck you the petulant cunt he is.

Chicane Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Are folk still seriously being strung along by this horseshit? "A fee has been agreed" "They're going through the Fit & Proper person test" "A statement will be released in the next 24 hours" "No wait, in the next few days" Just one load of garbage after another from random 2-bit "journos", ITKs and fucking dentists and radio hosts Honest question here, at what point do you accept this is all bollocks?

hakka Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Even by Ashley standards, the level of self harm to the club, Pemier League survival and any takeover has been huge in the space of a week. We all know he's a thick chancer, but so far we are in total chaos. If BZG get in they will not have long to bring a manger, a coaching team and then a matter weeks to sign several players and prepare them. If it doesnt happen then its some desperate donkey in as manager, less to spend, poor standard recruits and also short time to get it all working. Why risk it all this much? Surely giving Rafa his project is cheaper than going down and paying to come up, losing PL income for a season, or worse. Villa have fucking gone for it the second they've come back up, and its been bleak for them down there for a few seasons. With normal imvestment Rafa could have made club the fighting in the top half of the table and raise the value of the club. Bizarre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Nah. "Humbled by the support, still committed and doing everything they can, other factors at play but still hopeful" If it was that, whats the delay in releasing the statement? What would be the delay if they knew the deal was on or off? Seems like they have been pressured into saying something and are waiting for some suitable info to share? Could just also have a charnley of their own that is lax in doing things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 A takeover failing can happen and I don't doubt it's actually just as likely as a sale in this scenario. But just because Ashley's a cunt. What I do doubt reject - and I repeat myself with this, I know - is the silly notion (now, thankfully, mostly quashed) that any failed takeover was all some scooby-doo scheme by Bishop; like if you pull off Midhat's mask it's one of Keith's cronies and the ghost that chased off Rafa was just a sheet on some fishing line.

Rebellious Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I’m spitballing here but maybe sales of players and agreement from buyers that these deals and their fees lower the price (and MA keeps the money from these sales) in lieu of agreeing to advertising rights etc could help effectuate a sale. In other words MA thinks his SD advertising is worth 30m of value. Buyer does not agree. He sells Ayoze for 30m. Agrees to adjust price accordingly and keep said incoming fee or portion there-of. Buyer pays less at closing. Absolutely desperate post I know. Crossed my mind too Kanji[/member]. Would be a very sensible way of killing any of the add-on type clauses he'll inevitably want. It would, however, raise a fairly large question mark around the buyers resources if they were willing to cede this. Ya or they want to lower their up front investment to spend that cash on players and infrastructure. Am I imagining it or did they say they are still going ahead but in a different way, could be this ? Or was that from a photoshopped Midhat text ?

Wandy Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I think the reason Ashley desperately wanted Rafa to stay was precisiely because he really, really does not want to sell, and as long as Rafa was here he knew he would always have a mid-table club, thus allowing him to stay on the gravy-train. Rafa eventually realised this and stopped communicating with the club. Ashley realises he has "lost", spits out his dummy and promptly "sacks" Benitez by releasing the statement without telling Rafa it was happening. Now he is in a postion where he has 1 month to find a manager, sign new players and try to steer through a media shit-storm and supporter revolt as he has allowed the takeover story to rumble on without comment. If Rafa had signed that contract we would have been taken off the market, I am certain of it. Now that he is gone though I think the chances of us being sold to BZG have increased. It just depends on if Ashley can use the logical side of his brain or if his inner man-child will once again run riot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Ashley will not invest the clubs money in anything other than assets on the playing field that have a resale value, that's why our training ground is in the state its in and St James looks like a dirty prison.

If I'm being honest, the whole thing is driving me crackers but that's only because it's the final bit of hope to cling on to. Hopefully no news is good news, but it'll become far more problematic the longer it drags on as time is running out to get both a decent manager and quality players in. We must now be, at the very most, days away from a point where either the sale goes through or the plug is pulled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
