Chris_R Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Why do we only ever get these rumours when the transfer window is open? Why can't someone try to buy us in, I dunno, February or March or something? I mean I get that you want to be sure of the league the club is going to be in, but what's stopping someone doing all the donkey work and then saying "Right, it's all agreed, I'll sign on the last day of the season"?

Because the last few seasons there was no guarantee if we would even stay up, which would massively inpact the price. No coincidence that the BZG submitted proof of funds after the Southampton game had all but guaranteed staying up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 BZG are far bigger than Ashley or Sports Direct. Keep that in mind when it comes to doubting their credentials. If they insist it’s happening I’m happy to wait. We’ve waited 12 years. We can wait a few weeks. Chill the f*** out. The problem is we need to get players in/out. The further along the deal is, things can start to happen at that point. Legal commitments to pay transfer fees etc. The deal isn’t at that stage yet obviously. First they need to sort out Rafas contract. I know their legal team have spoken with his so there’s a contract all lined up to sign once they have the authority to do so. Seriously? You’ve heard there’s a BZG contract offer for Rafa? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I’d be amazed if that’s true. By all accounts they haven’t got ‘exclusivity’ yet but they’ve offered Rafa a contract nae bother Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No coincidence that the BZG submitted proof of funds after the Southampton game had all but guaranteed staying up. That doesn't make even the slightest bit of difference. You can agree a price, contract and sale subject to staying up and have everything ready to sign when the final whistle blows, or when safety is guaranteed. Whenever you want. There's absolutely nothing stopping that happening, and given how short the transfer window is and how long these deals take, it's exactly what any sane buyer should be doing.

STM Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I’d be amazed if that’s true. By all accounts they haven’t got ‘exclusivity’ yet but they’ve offered Rafa a contract nae bother Exclusivity isn't essential anyway is it? With MA he isnt going to limit the period of time in which another party could come in with a better offer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 The Staveley one started in October 2017 and the Kenyon one started September 2018. By all accounts this one has been going since April. Both after the transfer window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam1 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Everyone on the inside knowing the takeover is all but confirmed, and a new contract with BZG waiting for Rafa is the only logical conclusion to this whole fuckin mess imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's absolutely nothing stopping that happening, and given how short the transfer window is and how long these deals take, it's exactly what any sane buyer should be doing. You're missing the point, there was obviously communication done earlier but any official commencement of any deal would not happen UNTIL safety had been confirmed. Then the whole process would start in earnest as it did. You are not going to waste money on expensive lawyers until you know for certain what position the club is in and any 'sane' buyer wouldn't either.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I really believe it’s done TBH, I haven’t heard anything credible that suggests it’s not. Hard to believe for sure of course, but I don’t see why BZG would be openly lying in public to help Mike avoid signing players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
