ohhh_yeah 2942 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 On 11/3/2017 at 4:26 AM, Dr Gloom said: staveley could be brokering the deal for another gulf state, right? She was preoccupied? British businesswoman Amanda Staveley’s $1 billion civil lawsuit against Barclays (BARC.L) will not go to trial before October 2019 to avoid any prejudice to a parallel criminal case, a London court ruled on Wednesday. Barclays and Britain’s Serious Fraud Office (SFO) on Thursday confirmed the decision after a partly private hearing into whether the Staveley trial, originally listed for next January, should be postponed. http://uk.reuters.com/article/us-barclays-staveley-court/financier-staveleys-1-billion-barclays-trial-postponed-to-october-2019-idUKKBN1D92R8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't sell up & sod off this time i doubt he'll ever go to be honest the future of the club hinges on this if Ashley stays i can't see Rafa sticking around very long as he knows he'll never get the funding from Ashley to be able to build the team he wants. So in turn if Rafa goes we end up with someone similar to Pardew, McClaren, Carver thats why an awful lot hinges on the club being sold now.

ewerk 30238 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Well I assume it's a rebuttal to the Star's claim that the deal would be completed this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haydnator 45 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 The journalists know fuck all. Their tweets and stories in the tabloids show it. I expect it to be an out of the blue announcement that the club's been sold if it does get sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haydnator 45 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I think we'd probably know by now if there were any genuine showstoppers in the books, or if the asking price was way beyond reasonable. So no news is good news IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said before, I'm confident it'll happen because of the announcement from Ashley, the attendance of Staveley, the caliber of linked suitors, and Benitez' demeanour. When it'll happen is anyone's guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1220 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 The journalists now seem to be saying that Staveley is the only interested party now. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I mean, I suspected right from the beginning that all this talk about four or five people signing NDA's was bullshit, but I've also worried that Staveley's interest seems a bit too public to be genuine. I've always felt that if we were to be sold, it would be someone we didn't know about. I suppose I'm the same as Rayvin in fearing the worst really.

trooper 940 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 If it doesn't go through by the January window we could be in a pickle with Ashley's reluctance to further invest in the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30238 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 She was always the only one seriously interested. I'm pretty sure that barring Ashley being a massive cock and refusing to budge in his valuation that we'll be sold by the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the club will be sold, Ashley is a fucking meff and while I’m nervous he will fuck it up I think he really does just want it sold now so might refrain from being his usual self in order to push it through. I don’t really believe a word the papers are saying at the minute good or bad as due to the NDA I think they’re all just taking shots in the dark.

trooper 940 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I think most people are at the stage of willing the deal to go through & yet there's always that little doubt that Ashley will balls it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
