Rayvin 5176 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 If it takes "at least 10-15 days" and we're on day 18, we don't have enough information to say anything about it. All he was told is it wouldn't take less than 10-15 days. I don't understand why the lack of news over something that we were advised would run on past the end of the month is getting to people. What do we want to know exactly? Which particular part of the due diligence they're up to? Clearly this is the most serious takeover bid we've received, and if it had fallen flat then surely the buyers would have revealed this. It may not happen but it can't have failed yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Carr's Gloves 3809 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 My quote was in relation to the 2nd group. Pretty sure this is a known Ashley tactic to piss off buyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree (agree with KCG’s point about the second bidders too btw). The bit in bold in particular was doing my head in reading the chain, all of them including the knacker journo who put that in were acting like it was exactly 10-15 days these things take fucking ages. The group even said they were really hoping to get it done before the end of June, so it not being done in mid June doesn’t give us anything different to worry over than we had originally.

Isegrim 9733 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I guess I jinxed it. I got carried away thinking a takeover was imminent and therefore took the bottle of red wine (D‘Arenberg‘s Lauging Magpie) with me when I went on holidays to Catalunya two weeks ago. The bottle has been in my cellar for nearly 10 years now and I promised to open it the day the fat cunt fucks off. It looks like I will have rather expensive vinegar on my chips in a few years time tbh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isegrim 9733 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 If the takeover falls through I hope those Arab guys will at least do the best sulking they can do and openly say why the deal was called off and not just do the Staveley and Kenyon thing pretending it was never a necessary business decision, but attack Ashley from every possible angle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t00nraider2 41 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I was informed by a colleague who's a season ticket holder who's been working with the club recently and who's been in touch with a local organisation member associated with the club. It could all still go tits up, but he seems confident of things progressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
