The credit crunch will f*ck us over in terms of finding a new owner

[acrossthepond 866]

Think it's Sammy's time of the month.

 

I fully anticipate and expect a nasty reply but get creative this time, just "stfu yank arsehole" doesn't do it any longer for me.

 

Getting back on topic, I've said for a while that this "deadline" business and all the other claptrap about selling the club is a smokescreen. Soon as we win a game Ashley will probably think we're pacified (and maybe some of us will be by then) and will announce his asking price couldn't be met and give a long-term contract for Kinnear.

The credit crunch will have fuck all to do with a potential buyer of a football club. In fact this IS the time to gather assets as semtiments, prices and confidence are low.

 

It will have to be a Roman abramovich type rather than a George Gillette type.

I work in a role that is linked to the city and the credit market has dried up....completely.

 

Unless the potential new owner has committed borrowings in place or big money in the bank, forget about it.

Just as well you work in the city and are privy to this insider info or we would be completely in the dark about it.

 

TBF I dont think your average geordie spends more time pouring over the business media rather than some grot site.

 

I don't think you read any newspapers/sites if you think that's where it's restricted to.

I don't know where you got that impression. I'm a mathematics graduate, IT worker, film buff.

 

There's no-one more boring.

A takeover wouldn't have been bank financed even before Keegan left- after what's happened at Liverpool no bank will want to finance a football club. The credit market just doesn't come into it, it's been out for months. The fall in commodity prices is probably a bigger factor.

Yeah. Geordies are too thick to spell poring right for example.

Charlton could be the latest club to be taken over by foreign investors after reports claimed a Dubai-based group are keen.

English football is being swamped by foreign investment with Manchester City the most recent club to be taken over when Abu Dhabi United group bought them out.

 

All of a sudden City have money to burn and were able to sign Robinho just before the transfer window closed. Now reports on skysports television have suggested that a Dubai-based investor is planning to takeover at the Valley, news which is sure to excite the fans who have seen a number of key players leave the club recently.

 

Addicks boss Alan Pardew has had to sell his top stars as a lack of finances following relegation to the Premiership have taken their toll, and any new investment would be welcomed.

 

How much will be invested if indeed a deal does happen, remains to be seen, but the rumours are sure rumble on until Addicks officials make a comment the reports.

 

Betfair is a bit different to your normal bookie; they actually want you to win. Instead of a bookmaker setting the odds, their customers do. That means you. And because you compete against each other, you get better odds. Up to 20% better odds in fact. You can either make a back bet (bet on who's going to win) or place a lay bet (bet against something happening). Betfair matches people on either side of the bet with the odds they agree. Simple. Use this £10 free bet and give it a try.

Now there's a recession and even depression proof industry.
