ChrisMcQuillan Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I'm quite certain that only refers to dealing with prospective buyers outside of Staveley and PIF. If you have arbitration and lawyers in place, you don't just stop that entire process because of this. I'm not sure you even could. Attention-seeking, IMO.

Yorkie Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I mean, I don't get it. Why would they take the club off the market cos of relegation fears? Surely it would be the other way around, with the buyers saying "sort your shit out then we'll talk"? I'm quite certain that only refers to dealing with prospective buyers outside of Staveley and PIF. If you have arbitration and lawyers in place, you don't just stop that entire process because of this. I'm not sure you even could. Attention-seeking, IMO. That too. Would be quite ironic/coincidental for the most negative arsehole/wind-up merchant who just HAPPENS to be the one journo who gets the leak on the whole thing crumbling down.

Probably because under no circumstances will Ashley accept a lower deal. He’d rather try get club back up at first attempt that cut £100m-£150m off the asking price Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 If it does happen to be true, then hopefully it may force Ashley's hand in getting rid of Bruce. We can but dream. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandy Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Said it before and I will say it again. When we are relegated the next carrot that will be dangled to keep the fans onside will be "the takeover will go through if we get promoted". So utterly predictable.

Fantail Breeze Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Low and behold, it turns out all the ‘ITKs’ are full of shit and nothing is happening. Edwards is a completely cunt, but other than the Mauriss bullshit he was fed by the club... He’s been more accurate than fan favourites Caulkin, Kennedy etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandy Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 This won't have anything to do with what DeMarco is doing. What it is refering to is that with the club heading for relegation there are no buyers, confirming that the Saudis are not interested in buying us as a Championship club.

Yorkie Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I think it's just sensationalist language from Edwards designed for attention. Arbitration is happening and will continue to happen, with a view to removing whatever the obstruction is to enable the takeover. That won't have just stopped. Everything hinges on that reaching a successful conclusion. If it does, Staveley and the Saudis will complete the takeover... ... on the condition that we stay in the Premier League. So nowt's changed really, imo, other than a rebuttal to the speculation that relegation wouldn't matter. It wouldn't matter to Staveley but clearly it would matter to Ashley, presumably because it would mean a lower sale price. We need to stay up, simple as that. We knew that.

JeffJ Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Going down and stuck with Ashley, can’t wait to hear the positive spin on it. We are completely fucked and yet again totally self inflicted.

With the players we have out and Bruce in charge it’ll take a near miracle to stay up so aye the takeover is finished Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Well, nah. If Spurs beat Fulham and we beat West Brom which - despite everything, is hardly beyond the realms of possibility - the gap is six points again, which is actually more than it was at this stage last season.

gdm Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 And if West Brom beat us that’s only 6 points between us and them and suddenly that’s 2 relegation spaces opened up. Lots of ifs but one thing for certain we are missing 3 huge players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deejeck Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I haven't taken much notice of what Edwards has been saying lately, but hasn't he been pouring cold water on the takeover talk for months now? Therefore, from his perspective, what has actually been halted? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Anyone really care anymore? Clearly the takeover is absolutely nowhere near or for that matter even still on the cards at all, regardless of going down or staying up, what is the point of it all with Ashley here. Also shows Bruce is going nowhere because if as many believed the takeover rested on being in the league he would have gone by now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
