We are worth what someone is willing to pay. If that does not meet the owners valuation then he is under no obligation to accept. However if nobody is willing to pay his price then it seems a long hop to suggest that that is the price that we are worth. Marking-to-model is what caused such an issue in the last decade.
I took some time and went off to learn a few things. Some Premier League clubs value themselfs or have have been valued at over 1 billion which may be seen as a fair price when looking at turnover and income. But who would pay that when there is little chance of re cooping that cost and then going on to make a profit. And at the same time should a change in fortune come about ie. a slide down the table the value would drop. Buying a lower level of club would be cheaper but that club would be flirting with relegation and a huge drop in revenue. Of course it could go the other way and you fly up the table but that's a big gamble to take. The Villa owner was in that group and in the end he cut his loses and took 70 million in the end.
whilst 99% of me thinks the deal may well be dead in the water, the other 1% is wondering if the Americans are not forcing the Allams hand by walking away, or 'doing an Allam' in the hope they back down.
Possibility is that a team is rumoured, let's say Everton, to be interested in for one of our players at a huge price, let's call that player Robbo, the Allams then decide to stick £X million on top of the asking price because of this interest.
````` Goldman Sachs & Grieve are the ones who have spent a fortune so far not the Allams .....they really must have been pissed off after the time & money invested so far to then walk away There is absolutely no chance they will come back to negotiations......much better to look for another acquisition which does not involve dealing with our greedy duplicitous owners....can't say I blame them.....glad I put my £3k to better use to those who believe anything the owners say....can I offer you my plot of land on the moon....worth millions....and more likely to be true than any crap coming from anyone in the Allam family
It's only brinkmanship if the offer is still on the table.....it isn't !! There are no other interested parties.......Allam just likes saying he's the owner of a Premiership Football Club....without it he goes back to being nothing more than a diesel generator salesman
Irritable? Thick as two short planks you mean. The value in a sale is the price a final deal arrives at. Without that it's not a sale, and no value has been established. Are you genuinely struggling with that?
Just heard a rumour that it was breaches of the confidentiality clauses that was the final straw. Don't know if tbey're investigating, but Allams are a bit sharp with those things.
If they've got any sense, they'll go and buy Wolves, a third of the price and they own a 32k capacity stadium with a massive catchment.
Makes you wonder how thick they must be then doesnt it. To waste all this time on us. Didnt they do any groundwork? Phew looks like we've dodged a bullet there.
that headline $1.50 was a 2 day blip when remain was thought to be the winner , i think the real stable value was around $1.42-$1.44 (if anyones still awake )
The Allams aren't a bit sharp with anything - they're a pair of clowns who think negotiating is about threatening people - hopefully they're sat at home realising they've ****ed up big time
