Jinky Jim Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I know Ashley's an idiot, but even he must realise that with Bruce in charge, his £320 million business is looking very fragile...this is one reason why I'm still confident that a takeover will happen.He's not wasting any money sacking Bruce as he believes the takeover is going to happen and the problem then moves across to new owners to solve. If it's going to take a bit longer than February/early March, then see Ashley putting Graeme Jones in charge...A cheap way of keeping PL survival, in his opinion.

That would be a valid point if we didn’t know Ashley and his history of not caring at all about the club and always gambling we will have enough. I don’t think him not sacking Bruce has anything to do with a takeover being close, more that he is willing to risk it again because we aren’t in the bottom 3 yet so he doesn’t see us in major trouble and as a result saving himself money.

Awaymag Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 basically I can't be arsed keeping up. I'll wait for a club announcement on the outcome of arbitration. Anything else is guesswork and conjecture by people try to getting clicks or whatever and its just so mind numbingly frustrating. At least we have good football to take our minds off it............

gdm Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Jacobs completely contradicting Kennedy then, stating arbitration has started. Don’t think it’s that simple. I think Jacobs is meaning all the prep and choosing of the panel is part of arbitration where as I think Kennedy is meaning the actual hearing So In a sense they are both right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is very much Ashley’s way. I just think this time, he is a willing seller, and believes he and his Lawyers will win the argument with the PL. I remain positive but may have to review my optimism if nothing happens by early March and Bruce is still here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdm Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Ashley doesn’t sack managers unless he has to. He’s sacked 3 managers one because he wanted his own man, one because behind the scenes/dressing room issues and mcclaren because we were deep in the shit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Jacobs is meaning all the prep and choosing of the panel is part of arbitration where as I think Kennedy is meaning the actual hearing So In a sense they are both right Possibly.

I know we’d like to think Ashley is an idiot but he isn’t. He might be a twat and he doesn’t give a toss about our club but he’s not an idiot. Got to disagree there. He is obviously a successful businessman but has little knowhow of how to run a football business. With a little more input and sound backing, the club could have been a regular top ten finisher with potential top 6.The club could have been worth twice as much as he is potentially selling it for.That's why the Monica "idiot" is very appropriate for his dealings as a Football Businessman.

Candi_Hills Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Ashley has several qualities which make him a good businessman. He's a hardworking, unscrupulous cnut. I don't think he's particularly intelligent though. A smarter man of equal immoral fibre would've got a lot more out of the club than he has. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonjam88 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Watched that gallowgate shots interview with GC last night. When he said last year we were literally down to the PL putting a signature down and it was done. So so close. He also said the arbitration isn't about MA getting compensation, it's about getting the sale. What's going on with those ITK rumours on the f365 forum? Has he gone quiet for a few weeks? The f365 man said we ought to listen to Liam Kennedy because he suspected that Liam and he had the same source. We now know that Liam's source is Keith. In fact, Liam and Keith get on like a house on fire and they talk most days on the phone about non-football related stuff, as confirmed by Liam himself. So I'd say Mr f365's man is in that loop and that his source is probably also Keith. He might even be Keith. I don't believe Liam's source is Keith, like. He's even contradicted him a few times. But to update - there's been no update. When you say Keith do you mean Keith Downie? Keith Pattison or whatever his surname is, from NCSL. Ah ok ??

Far be it for me to gate crash, but would you trust this man. Stick to Kennedy he’s got good sources. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/article-1251554/CHARLES-SALE-Official-BBC-report-bares-Ben-Jacobs-sabotage-saga.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
