AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 ‘Bid’, when a deal is already done the PL are just signing it off? Not sure how that makes any sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 he said verbally agreed...and pcp has exclusivity, so you'd like to think this is just someone telling the press "mike agreed to my verbal offer of X" ... but that in itself could be a breach of contract too.

Dokko Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Exclusivity until middle of May, aye? I reckon the agreement has come out the blue to other interested parties, but now Ashley has lowered the price others have come in to play, a bit late. If it falls through he could still sell the club for £283m and still get his asking price as he can keep the deposit. This again may bring even more parties in to play. Either way, the club will be sold before the new season. It might not be the big money takeover but it could be something everyone can get behind with different owners. In all honesty, if pif fail the test I could see staveley coming back with different partners or if the Barclays payout is as big as she hoped then solo. After everything she’s been through she’s not giving up now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 To be fair were we not led to believe that we were already some weeks into the checks before everything went down?

STM Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Perhaps Ashley is so desperate for the money that he has a back up group waiting in the wings if this one falls through.

Minhosa Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 This has Ashley games written all over it. He's a fucking scumbag. I'd prefer the Saudi's over some pony American Investment Fund/Kenyon every day of the week. Can't wait to be rid of this fat prick and his propaganda.

The short answer would be no, they used the word "putative" to describe the takeover (which means generally reputed to be). Although the fact they responded to Amnesty would point to something happening. None of that would mean Ashley is in a legally-binding agreement where he has to sell though.
