It's not a substitute for watching live games. It's an earlier process to cut down the choices to something manageable.
Do you all really believe that a potential buyer would put 30 million into a business they don't own?
Doesn't it? I can't imagine the PL/FA would be thrilled at having to re-do its marketing and images globally to reflect an updated Hull badge.
I don't understand all this, I expect Pete Saxton and OLM might explain better but the way I see it is: if you pay £100 million for the club in September but then carnt improve the squad until January you could be buying for a championship club as we could be cut adrift, so your £100 million purchase is now worth £30 million
I thought in this technological age it wouldn't be much effort to replace one image with another. They would have a database of information on each club - one field would be the graphic for the badge. Everywhere the badge would be used wouldn't have to be changed. There would simply be a link to the database field. They would change the graphic in the master database and the graphic would change everywhere automatically. I do something similar all the time.
Yeah not sure why quite a few seem to think the new owners can't put money in immediately when they know they will be owning the club in the near future.
A lot of advertising isn't just digital though. If there's nothing stopping clubs changing their badges mid-season though then I guess it doesn't bother them too much.
That's your top priority? Not squad strengthening, appointing a manager, using our name in marketing?
To be honest can't see the Allams going along with that, if the takeover collapsed at the 11th hour, who would honourer the new player/players contract's
Would prefer them to bring back concessions, kids and disabled prices first, to be honest. The badge should be low on priorities.
This could mean that the club may not even be sold and the money loaned would have to be repaid. In reality I would expect that a lot of work would be being done now but signings wouldn't happen until the sale is completed because otherwise any sensible deal could be very onerous to one party or another. Diame deal went through very quick. A lot of the work done on that could be being done now and could even be contracted dependent on the sale being done by a certain date. Practically anything is possible but one side may think that there may be too much risk involved in doing too much.
Lets say it happens then, but what would happen if the sale fell through at the last minute. The buyers pay so have some players but no club for them to play at ( yeh yeh I know they own a club in China ) or the Allams pay a whole load of money investing in the club they want to sell. I just don't see any financial commitment until the deal is irreversibly done.
I agree it is a risk but then if the takeover doesn't happen would the Allams be happy with a small squad - unless that is part of their masterplan to get their loans repaid.
