But you just know what's coming next once they have gone,they will say the name change was all part of the strategy to sell the club to the chinese.a selling point so it makes it better for marketing in asia,so we did exactly what we said we would do and thats find a good home which was the whole exercise.
I have no idea what their plans are, though on the basis that it's unlikely we'd be lumbered with two lots of clueless owners in a row, I'd hope they had no intention of messing with the name.
The fact that they only viewed the facilities just over a week ago, suggests it's a new deal, unless you seriously think they've been negotiating for months without actually having viewed the thing they were buying?
I do,i think they having been talking for awhile,and lets face it no one knows if anyone ever visited the club or met with them before hand,or if they even had a representative make approaches for them.
Despite this not being at a stage of agreeing a price? The deal doesn't yet seem to be exclusive? I thought the US bid had completed their due diligence while this group's is ongoing.
I do seriously think they've been negotiating for months. If a proportion of those in attendance on Saturday live in China a week in Hull with a tour of the facilities and watching the first match of the season would have been sensible. specially if the contracts are about to be signed. It doesn't mean there have been no previous visits to the club by their representatives to look at the facilities.
I'm not sure why you think no price has been agreed, I don't believe there's more than one potential buyer and I suspect due diligence is only being done now, as they were fairly late to the party.
They might not be late to the party but being businessman have only now decided to show their hand after deciding to pursue the deal.
Do we actually know what is happening? There's rumours on the Facebook forum the contracts were signed on Friday, which means baring the suitable person test the club has been sold. The sale date will be in mid-September for some reason and Ehab and the Chinese will sort out the transfers. Its not long to wait.
Possibly, I've really no idea, I'm just going off the impression I get from what's gone on recently. Frankly, I don't care, I just want them to hurry up and get the deal done so Saturdays optimism can continue.
Really? But that was literally everything done and the pen was actually writing the signature on the contract until a aa asked for 6 million extra...strange times
When would you expect a sale to be announced? It must be a closely done thing. Otherwise I can't understand why Ehaw ****ed off to play Polo when perspective buying parties were left to watch the game with staff. Highly unprofessional, but probably what we should expect from the complete ****ing muppet.
Although most of this rings true you need to look at it and think would anyone be foolish to scupper a second deal over greed when the first one went so massively tits up. I can't see AA trying the 'an extra £6M for the SMC' a second time after it torpedoed the previous deal so impressively.
