gdm Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Just an opinion but based on info posted I think this deal is much closer to happening than either Stavely or Kenyon. There have been improvements at the academy level and talk of streamlining our loan system to accentuate player growth. Those are infrastructure moves and would not have been done unless an owner wants to take the club forward. Further, the action on Companies House is more than just "tidying up". BZG feels they have the assets in place to make the purchase. The ball is in Ashley's court and I do think he's motivated to sell. I think a majority of hand wringing is due to Rafa's status. We love the man. If he were still under contract we'd be more patient. I think that’s a fair assessment and fairly level headed. I agree with that.

Kasper Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Mike Ashley, at this point, has spent probably 6 figures on trying to sell the club. The conspiracy theories are looney tune land. :lol: Poor Mike!! He's clearly tried so hard too. 10 years of trying to sell us? And nobody until now has matched his valuation it's not rocket science you know I like how the narrative has suddenly changed just because everyone is desperate to believe this is happening. We've talked about how there might be a reason why its taken him this long to sell, as in his valuation is unrealistic. We've talked about him inserting clauses in potential takeovers about SD advertisement etc. Now he's suddenly a willing seller who has spent a lot of money trying to get rid of the club for ages. See that's where (some) people are not getting it. It doesn't matter what the support or other bodies think is the realistic valuation for the club, it's what Ashley as the current owner of the club thinks is realistic. If nobody matches that valuation he won't sell. As I said it's not rocket science. I think you're the one not getting it. If I have a car worth about 500 pounds and I'm saying I'll sell it for 5 000 pounds would you say I'm a willing seller trying to get rid of my car? e: Just to be clear the point im disputing is that he has been truthful in his attempts to sell the club. He has had no intention to sell unless someone offered insane money for it. Maybe things have changed now because of his other business interests, who knows.

Looks like this company have agreed to the 350 million he was asking for so yes I do think it will make him a willing seller as his valuation has been met. The other two bids did not meet that valuation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
