nufcjb Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Everton just got their new stadium plans approved. They're going places. Without the takeover, we'll be going places too. To visit teams in the Championship next season. Hey..maybe even a trip to the darkside again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To visit teams in the Championship next season. Hey..maybe even a trip to the darkside again. Exactly and with Bruce in charge they’ll do the fucking double over us. The club could literally be finished for years if this doesn’t go through. If people think Ashley has been a disaster up to this point, I suspect a post covid and disinterested Ashley could exceed all our expectations. This is a tipping point whether you think this goes through or not, i literally don’t think there’ll be a club left worth supporting if it doesn’t.

Happinesstan Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 If we get relegated, and the takeover fails, we could well be fucked. There will be vultures looking to take the club off his hands [in some shady deal] and he'll take the deal that suits him best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll meet them in the Championship next season and Bruce will take us to League One. Mackems might just stay up coz Bruce makes us shitter than any other team, including them.

Happinesstan Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Replying in here as I didn't want to upset the optimism: Undoubtedly the club could burn for me if the takeover doesn’t go through. This is a good point made by Keith though, I think we have to be extremely confident in the legal argument club has. Has he never lost a case? I'm sure he gets paid either way and taking a lump sum from Ashley isn't going to damage his reputation. The fat cunt that didn't do due diligence when buying the club in the first place. I imagine his lawyers in the Keegan case were confident also. Has anybody asked the PL's lawyers how confident they are? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 They're confident too. But I guess we only hear what we want to hear. At least now we know it is not straight forward as some made it out to be at the back end of last year. Now, less the wait and soon and imminent wordings in some people's post. Its more 'silence is a good thing, they're cracking on with the case' type of posts. Does not help to build any confidence in me one bit. This ain't on. I'll happily raise my white flag in defeat and shame if it does happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 A lot of talk about confidence. There’s been confidence of some sort for nearly 12 months now. Still no signs whatsoever that this deal is even remotely close. What’s the new #wait deadline now January and February have both passed without action? Still March? Or the end of the season? MA ‘hands off’ from the club and concentrating on other business, Bruce being allowed to sleepwalk into a relegation... barely even sounds like a deal is still in the pipeline at all, to be honest. If it was, I doubt everyone would be sat around watching this relegation play out. Ashley is supposedly desperate for this £300m deal and spending a fortune on the best legal brains in the footballing world. Yet he doesn’t want to sack the manager due to the minimal compensation due. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Ashley probably has a stack of emails from managers and players agents saying they won’t sign for us whilst the takeover situation is unresolved. In the event of us going down Ashley will wave these as the courts and say he couldn’t sack Bruce and couldn’t sign the players. He tried. Either the courts will a) block our relegation or b) compensate Ashley so much that he will sell the club at a pittance. In event a) PIF can then buy the club. In event b), Staveley and Reubens and some second rate investors will buy the club and PIF will buy out investors upon takeover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Liam Kennedy has followed Caulkin down the line of Journalists being duped by the people trying to buy the club.

I must have missed the part where they forced us to not give Rafa a new contract and instead employ the guy with one of the worst managerial records in the history of English football.

Candi_Hills Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Aye, our relegation isn’t getting blocked but a compensation case doesn’t seem beyond the realms of possibility. A dream scenario would be for the takeover to get signed off and then Mike to ask the PL for £900 million because it affected his House of Frazer shares and cheapened the Donnay name.

BirtleyMag Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 If Ashley got 300 mil in compensation he would probably just let us rot as a championship team knowing he’s already got his money from us and still being able to take the p*as out of us. Alternatively, he might gamble on getting us back up and the race to 17th place starts again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
