ScottishMagpie Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I spent too much time reading all the posts during that last takeover. I'll not bother this time. If it happens then great, if it doesn't then I'll not have wasted my time. Glory hunting bastard! What about those that have believed since the beginning?!

Ameritoon Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Not the first time that's happened during a takeover saga with Edwards/The Telegraph. Genuinely baffled by it, why doesn't the employer ask for his input if he has information? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Not the first time that's happened during a takeover saga with Edwards/The Telegraph. Genuinely baffled by it, why doesn't the employer ask for his input if he has information? He takes pleasure in winding our fans up, what he says is meaningless. If it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t mean he had any knowledge about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 As we've seen in the past, chances are this won't happen. So if he gets in there early and says it wont happen, when it doesn't happen it makes him look like he knew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 They’ve probably completed Due Diligence, found out that Ashley has us tucked up nicely in various contracts beneficial to him that would need separate negotiation and all those generous interest free loans when he relegated us twice to be repayable. I can’t see this happening but you have to ask why it came out in the WSJ first and if Staveley is involved you’d have thought she’d be better prepared to negotiate Ashley’s way of conducting business and would also know what to expect from Due Diligence. It makes too much sense for Ashley to bail out now, falling ST numbers, end of the 10 year deal, the whole club needing major investment; he might be tempted but the vindictiveness will get the better of him.

The loans aren't an issue- it would be absolutely standard for those to be repaid as part of the consideration for the club. Whenever you see price tags bandied about- that is inclusive of those loans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Trying not to entertain a single thought of this happening, but then at the same time my brain is taking me to directions of trying to work out what moves he has made recently that would help to reduce any potential capital gains tax coming his way. Can't think of any slightly dubious moves the club had made recently though....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I don't understand why the deal could collapse because it's being leaked to the press. Because Mike Ashley is a petty, spiteful twat and a control freak and would cancel the whole thing because it wasn't announced on his say so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 He’s milked the club dry, he’s lucky Bruce has been a lucky cunt this season or it would be another relegation on the cards, and this time we wouldn’t bounce back as the fans would have no appetite for it. If things do equal themselves out, next season the club is relegated Anyway, so it’s just delaying the inevitable, allowing further rot to set in just like the mackems did. He walked away now with £100m cash in pocket and same again on free advertising. Not bad for how shit he’s been. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
