Raconteur Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Before we all shoot ourselves, I think it’s important to remember that “this time” is very different from all the preceding fakeovers. Ashley has proved himself to be a willing seller for the first time - and all indications are that he’s cash desperate. That might be the only positive to take from the whole experience. Maybe Staveley will put together another consortium - she has revealed herself to be a desperate purchaser. Here’s hoping she can find someone with deep pockets that isn’t already on the PL’s shit list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 It's clear that the consortium made this deal very difficult to wave through at almost every turn like. Feel like if we weren't dealing with a potential bottomless pit of money, and for instance, the deal had been led by Peter Kenyon or someone of that ilk, people would be lambasting their role in the way this has played out.

I’m not gonna be holding my breath and certainly not willing to put up with Ashley for another year. I’m pretty much done and out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE27 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I await all the morally rich billionaires that we keep getting told we could have instead of PIF, to swoop in now and buy us. But of course this won't happen, because they don't exist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzz Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Makes you wonder why it's taken them two weeks to reply to Chi though. Have they just done that because of all the hassle on twitter etc this week? Would they have just continued to ignore her if it didn't happen? Maybe waiting for written withdrawal confirmation?

Current economic climate I can't think of a single reason anyone would actually buy a football club, other than the reason PIF wanted to. 10 more years of Ashley unless he puts the club into administration (somehow).

Sadly, i'd be amazed if Ashley can find someone who is prepared the pay the kind of money that he wants for the club in it's current condition. Future is quite bleak.

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I really hope Staveley ends up finding someone to buy the club, if only to piss Sean off. He’s just a troll. Contributes nothing positively on here. Just ignore him Since when does being positive become the de facto barometer for making a contribution? He's far more conductive to the discussion on here than delusional posters who deliberately ignore / misinterpret the events unfolding before them.

TK-421 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Couple of comments on Independent arbitration on Twitter.. PIF statement mentioned time taking to sort this also a factor in the withdrawal, so if they were expected to go to arbitration that could take another 6-18 months before they got any sort of answer? It it surprising they rejected that avenue? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE27 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 That letter hasn’t mentioned it being Staveleys fault though. Think the hate is now more because Staveley has asked fans to protest, but I'm not sure our protests were ever going to sort the problems they've hit.

Remind me of his day one post please , this Internet where I am is slow as fuck I do find it slightly strange Caulkin is now saying theres no delay, after saying more than 2 weeks ago a decision was imminent, then saying this week was going to be a big week. I'm not fully trusting of his sources (Staveley). At best she's guessed/assumed wrong on a number of occasions. Hopefully that's all it is. It just doesn't inspire confidence. That's from May.
