gdm Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 The only hope we have is if he is more desperate to set up shop in the Middle East than he is confident on gambling on us coming back up. I agree that it’s very unlikely he’ll ever lower his price though. If he won’t spend 4 million of the clubs money to preserve its current value then there’s no way he’ll be happy to lose out on 100 million himself. Still doesn’t answer the question why risk losing up to half the value of the deal if he knows there is a good chance the deal will go ahead. The man is a stubborn daft cunt. Apart from not wanting to pay Bruce off he probably doesn’t want to admit he was yet again wrong and should have backed Rafa instead of going for a clueless clown like Bruce and paying good money for him too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF this deal was close then he has never been in that situation throughout his ownership. Which leads me to think the takeover is not close and that’s exactly why he’s following his previous blueprint of gambling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 If the deal doesn't hinge on safety he won't give two farts in a hurricane Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 If the deal doesn't hinge on safety he won't give two farts in a hurricane Then the consortium wouldn’t pay 350m for a championship club. The argument on why it doesn’t make sense is on both sides of the deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 About 2 weeks late to a story that they still get wrong. Italian football isn’t worth nearly as much as the exposure from the PL. Spanish football is even worse as far goes a closed shop and French football isn’t worth the hassle to compete with PSG. I think the Saudis would have gone for Man Utd if they’d been available and maybe they would have if they were still outside the top 4 but revenues will be good for them this season and next. We’re the only other option really. If they still want a club to compete in the PL we’re the best available option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Not actually bothered if they get Inter and turn Serie A into a good attraction. Hope the PL will rue their missing the same opportunities. Would give me great satisfaction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That hasn’t started so it can’t be the case that’s dead in the water How not? If they've had a breakthrough in another deal and decided to drop it, or if PIF just change their mind on a whim as can be the wont of mad bone-saw weilding despots, why not? Not saying there's any actual insider knoweldge on it being dead but I can't see how it's absolutely impossible the deal has gone from the life-support it's been on for about 6 months to dead within the space of a week.

We know Ashley has taken the PL to arbitration, but we don't know to what end. You mean aside from every journalist including the negative ones saying they are there waiting for a takeover. Aside from companies house documents linked to PIF and our club being continued on Companies house only a day ago. Aside from the club releasing a statement a few days ago saying they were pushing for this takeover to go through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Yeah. I dunno where I'm at re whether or not there'll be a positive conclusion, but I think the Saudis are still interested. And the ruling the other day made it clear what the objective of arbitration was. If arbitration goes our way, we can have our takeover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
