So, are they still negotiating or is it off completely? Different sources seem to have different ideas
good interview with an agent on talksport earlier ... he said by his knowledge that ehab and assem thought they were selling to 2 people but the premier league found out there were 10 involved including a guy who "wanted to play the transfer market" ... well rid IMO the guy was an agent who brought his book out this week and knew a lot more than most on here I suspect ... apart from he said "I feel sorry for Ehab as he is a genuine good bloke"
Despite that nice young man on twitter advising them, together with an army of solicitors and accountants we are expected to believe the Chinese consortium signed an £100m deal to buy Hull City AFC thinking they would get the freehold from the Council. Presumably they didn't read the press that said the Council had to jump through various hoops before they sold the stadium. One of which was inviting other bids which could see the stadium sold to someone else because its an asset of community value. They paid a substantial non-returnable deposit on the wing and a prayer the Council would sell at a knockdown price. Do you really think the Chinese are that stupid?
Obi Obi Obi Don't you read this forum? All rich people are stupid. They're rich because they've, at some point, been REALLY lucky. Not because they work hard, or know what they're doing. Cretins, all of them. FACT
did you hear the interview as well ? they went on for a good 5-10 minutes about it despite them coming in to talk about their book ... was actually a good window into what football is now and as they said "the idealism" that all fans have ...
'Cos no ****er 'ud buy 'em. If I wanted to taste something dry, rough to the tongue and vaguely fishy I'd... Umm, can't think of anything appropriate but, you know; it's not good.
No but read a promo interview with him last Sunday, and then referenced it on a post in here about substitutions and their timings having links to players' contracts, clauses and payments. One of the blinkered in house armchair managers predictably rubbished it. If only the publishers had run it by this forum........
heh yeah indeed ... football is not the romance most people wish for , he said about on the average transfer for one player , 15 people are in that meeting sorting it out and they all want a cut of the pie so to speak ... football is dead , monopoly is born "football edition"
I never went away really. When I looked into the Americans I didn't like what I saw. I don't believe that anyone is better than the Allams. The Amber Nectar article shows how little has to be done to get supporters onside. Something that shouldn't be beyond the Allams to achieve. The problem is they have never really tried to bridge that gap. As a consequence the gap is now a chasm. I still think it can be bridged if they decide to stay. But I'm always an optimist.
Can say that around most of our kids. Mine certainly haven't had to endure the childhood I did. He's also not that rich yet in the grand scheme of things, Dad still owns most of it I would think, if not all of it. Sure he gets more pocket money than your lad, and he'll be quids in when Assem dies, but that just reinforces the statement they're just all lucky bastards.
Can you see the Chinese walking away? They've paid a big deposit (I believe). Serious businessmen don't just walk away from that sort of outlay and put it down to luck - do they?
It may not yet be over? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...-make-Tigers-one-strongest-clubs-England.html
