loki679 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I feel sorry for the lads who thought this could happen in the first place. Honestly lads if yous fall for this s*** again in the summer you deserve the disappointment. We've got a lot of scope for expansion mind you Decky. The Chinese still haven't been used. Americans only referenced in passing so they could be resurrected. Venezuela have a lot of money and we could play the "didn't want to sell to Communists" angle. The world is our oyster. Looking forward to 2052 when our takeover by a consortium from Madagascar falls through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Its a classic misdirection strategy to get the fans talking about a possible take over, rather than discussing the actual plight of the team and how gash it is. Ashley and his media nobs can only play this so many times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 This sounds like pure, unadulterated bullshit to me. Why is "interest" in quotes as if it's not real interest for starters. Next...other interested parties also confirmed. Righto. It's like bullshit bingo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Maybe I'm horribly out of touch having not set foot in SJP for years, but is there really a sizeable group of people who have kept going through all the crap of the last decade but are only just now thinking of jacking it in, but could be convinced to keep going by a bit of takeover speculation, again and again?

I used to go to school with Pete, can't remember a thing about him, although he was a couple of years younger. He'd no doubt say the same about me but he probably fancied my sister Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, nobody is in that camp, in my opinion. The people who still go are the people who have been going forever and simply don't want to let Ashley "win" by him forcing them away. The anger directed at them by other fans is entirely justified. I do not for one second believe that Ashley is bothered about these takeover rumours, nor do I think he instigates them. I think a lot of them are genuine, I just think that he has his price and is unwilling to budge. In the same way that Rafa thought he was the man to change Ashley's attitude towards the running of the club, each takeover group think they're the group that can make him crack. I don't even think he acts like an arsehole during negotiations, he just simply will not budge as he does not give a shit whether or not he owns the club. Why would he when it's as easy as this?

Sean Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 His price is £10m more than whatever anyone offers. The flaw in this very simple argument so many like to put forward is this: Word gets around, and if that is what has happened repeatedly, for over 10 years, then there must be a huge queue of insanely gullible billionaires out there. Which there isn't. Ashley isn't that clever. They would all know he has no interest in selling. He is however clever enough to plant a few silly stories in the press and have people believe his shit (see:BZG). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time if there is no takeover discussion going on behind the scenes, why not just come out and deny it? What would they gain, or what have they gained by being in cahoots with Ashley to pump out a load of rubbish? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is however clever enough to plant a few silly stories in the press and have people believe his shit (see:BZG). it's clearly not as simple as the above because every bid will be different, the price likely different depending when the bid is made, and the conditions he's asking for will likely change based on the nature of the bids he's not been leaking false stories for 10 years man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
