I love HTT to bits, but his Miggy Mexican jokes and ITK gossip gets tedious.

 

Get back to speaking about cars and reds vs blues man.

I’ve no doubt ‘talks’ are on going but as caulkin said it’s difficult to see a pathway to a positive outcome. Also what are these talks? Are the consortium talking amongst themselves trying to find a solution? Are they actually talking with the PL. masters has already said the deal is off the table and there’s nothing to consider.

Pure guess work but Ashley hasn’t taken bid off table and it’s still with PL, we know for definite all communication must go through club.

 

It’s rumoured Ashley is working to save deal, I suspect he’s still in dialogue with consortium and PL to find a way to get this through.

 

Will it happen who knows, but the point being there is a glimmer and certainly discussions are still happening. It’s been reported PIF will return if green light is assured, how they get to that point is for far more skilled people in this sphere than ourselves to work out.

 

Also it’s still worth recalling the Southampton takeover, they initially knocked it back but found a way to restructure it.

 

I still retain hope that Rick Astley will be belting out over the tannoy before Xmas to herald Staveley’s arrival (sorry for the last sentence Shaun).

The actual deal expired and no longer exists. In reality, despite what Amanda Staveley said, Ashley probably fucked the consortium right off, by trying to get more money out of them.

Who knows what on earth to think.

 

I have some optimism that we're in the twilight years of Ashley, but I can't predict when or how he's gonna go. This lot, eventually? Christ only knows. He'll shift it eventually you would have thought, though. The Saudis/Staveley won't be the only party out there with a legitimate interest and the finances to complete the deal.

Who knows whats going on but our transfer business this week doesnt really reflect what we have done under Ashley previously..

20 mill on 28year old.. Wilson and Fraser surely would be on 70-80k a week

Lewis reminds me of the time we bought Jenas back in the day

I've suspected the same, that if the public withdrawal is a tactic it's probably as much, or more, about exposing the other bids as fake as it is about the O&D test stuff.

 

We don't actually know what the situation is with the deal. In terms of what's publicly available all of the legal structures of it, such as the loan agreement between St James Holdings and PCP, seem to still be in place. If it no longer existed in any form and was completely dead wouldn't that have been satisfied on Companies House by now?

Careful now, you don't want the usual suspects claiming you hate women by saying things like that.  :lol:

I wasn't looking to point the finger at her. It was right for her to be nice to Ashley as they are/were trying to conduct a business deal, but I'm at a loss as to what is now being discussed if the deal has expired and the PIF have publicly pulled out.

I do want to be wrong, I really do, but I don't want to spend any more energy waiting and hoping for positive news.

Who says the deal has expired? Publicly pulling out is different to privately as well.

 

I’ve been pretty sure for the last month that things will almost certainly be happening behind the scenes in an effort to get the deal / OD test passed quietly.

 

I really feel that the whole public withdrawal is a ploy to throw Bein, Amnesty etc off the scent, keep it out of the public eye, and get it passed without further public scrutiny.

 

It only became public last time because of the companies house stuff. That doesn’t need to happen this time. In theory the next we would likely hear (providing there are no leaks) is if the deal goes through or not.
