Which would you prefer, an American consortium fronted by a football man like Kenyon? Or an unknown billionaire for whom dropping £300m on a football club is no problem? Kenyan by a country mile. Even if his bid appears to be less wealthy up front than others ( and I’m not saying it is, either), his experience of pushing clubs on to greater things is tied to maximising their commercial potential. I’d take a few seasons under him building up in a proper manner, then reaping the rewards, over some Hollywood insta-money which runs out along with the owners interest in a year or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sch00lraider 999997 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Good point away to a team in sixth position. Stories linking us with signing Miguel Almiron for £15mil. Hopefully if true, has a better impact than the £15mil spent of Thauvin or the other big money flops bought under Ashley! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4762 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 All those big money flops. So many. 15 million is pennies to a premier league club these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30620 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) I very much doubt Ashley has bothered to let Kenyon do due diligence if he doesn't think he has the money together. Particularly with the very real, not at all fictional billionaire waiting in the wings to make a bid. Edited December 6, 2018 by ewerk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When speaking about SD & House of Fraser he was very fluent. Then all of a sudden he started talking about selling the club & he turned into a bumbling idiot stuttering & stammering his words it was obvious he was making it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haydnator 45 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) Many have missed the point about it being postponed. It's sensible to wait until after the window closes. If the club isn't sold and players aren't bought protests will renew with some vigour and I'm sure more people will be willing to join in rather than the predictable feeble turnout for the planned boycott. It also prevents Ashley from blaming fan negativity should a takeover not materialise. People responding to TMG with vitriol doesn't bode well for the future, mind.

There's no takeover happening it's a smoke & mirrors again. It really is staggering to think people believe anything that comes out of Ashleys mouth.

PaddockLad 17281 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Kenyon wants the club but has no backers Staveley made a bid seen by George Caulkin via Chris Mort at Freshfields Ashley says a deal to sell the club is closer now than ever I'll let you all draw your own conclusions....

Kid Dynamite 7030 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 In reality though, if Ashley didn't want to spend in January then he just wouldn't spend. Like he didn't in the Summer. As if he could be fucked on inventing all these rumours and recruiting Kenyon, Staveley etc. to play along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If/when it's confirmed that it's all been bollocks appetite for a boycott will be far higher and more successful. Don't know why it's been so difficult for some to get their head around. The comment section on the Mag has them claiming that the MG and Alex Hurst (wtf) are both Tory Ashley collaborators ffs.
