Dr Gloom 21924 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 well all that statement has done is confirm something we already knew. i was hoping it might be something more concrete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I wonder what the reasoning is behind that. Can't think Ashley is doing something just so that it might benefit the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 The club's in the healthiest position it has been for years, will be interesting to see who fancies taking the club onto the next level. Something tells me the Chinese will want a piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Nothing has changed really though, this is just free advertising for Ashley. I see it like a posh gumtree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it like a posh gumtree. yeah, i'm not getting carried away just yet. we've been down this path before. i think it's been obvious for a while that he'd be up for selling up. the question it whether there is a buyer out there that will match his valuation.

David Kelly 1245 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 The fact that they're putting it out there and putting a time frame on it suggests it's something more concrete than the usual rumours. Whether or not his price still puts people off remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trophyshy 7083 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 This statement designed to pressure some hedge fund wankers or summat. Anyway, glimmer of hope returns that we could have a go again. I'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won the Championship so maybe he classes that as winning silverware. Don’t know how to view this tbh, could be a plus as he’s officially saying he wants to sell, or it could be seen in a negative light as he had already made potential buyers sign a non-disclosure agreement so did they pass on the opportunity and now he’s howling it in public? Whatever, just hope he does fuck off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
