Possibly. I just thought I'd point out he was **** last night. You bringing him up when you realise you've been talking absolute rubbish about acquisition theory despite apparently working in the field just highlights how out of your depth you were.

Carry on all you like though.

How ****ing old are you Syd. have you ever experienced business situations or are you still reading from your high school economics textbook ?
Perhaps I didn't explain stuff well enough for you, but with your need for the last word, prompted by your inability to be clear in your posts, and your blind acceptance of what you believe is "accurate" reporting in the press and on forums such as this, I really pity your analytical ability.

If Hull City bought Joe Hart for £100m and £150k a week wages are you saying that it wouldn't affect the value of the club? Of course that is an extreme value but every major transaction would affect the value. You seem to be looking at it as some short term accounting exercise: Dr Player Assets Cr Bank/Creditors. Clubs are not valued like that. They are more likely to be valued on future estimated cash flows - which are very difficult to judge but are more important to the buyers. Buyers may just give up on the estimates and decide that in three years time the TV deal may be a lot better and if the club can stay in the Premier League until then they will be winners.

Never mind. This is going in circles. You're being argumentative for the sake of it.

It's been explained to you numerous times why the new owners won't have issue with any of the players brought in. It's also been explained to you why players being brought in won't affect the value of a takeover that is going through in a matter of weeks.

My name is John Cleese - you can claim your 5 quid. Send me 10 quid for backing out of the discussion. Net 5 quid.
edit; I forgot this...

With regards to the transfer deadline, can we not sign players after so long as all terms are agreed in writing and submitted to fa before deadline? Just thinking we could possibly have a bit more time due to takeover if everything was agreed with a player and his team?
 
Soz if this has been posted already, but according to Villa's owner they bid £20million for Abel, we turned them down and they are going for someone else instead

Only if the funds used to purchase the player were not existing funds. If you have money in the bank and you buy a player, the club's value doesn't change in the short term.

At last some are starting to see the light, one are two are still holding out. Your $100 dollar in the hand then buying an apple for $2 idea works IF the apple really is worth $2 and you do have $100.

The club Hull City may have a few quid in the bank but it also owes the Allams 70 or 80 million. Lets say today the club is valued at 100 million a figure agreed by the seller and buyer, if the club was to buy a player for 10 million who's paying and how does it not change the value of the club?

It changes immediately because no one else is likely to value that player the same...hundreds of factors involved in that purchase as opposed to e.g. tomorrow.

Deals must be completed before midnight on Wednesday, the only deals that can be done beyond that are for players who are currently free agents.

There's a deal in place to buy players now, the only thing stopping us doing so, is agreeing fees and personal terms with players. If looks like we're finally getting some of those over the line, it's all going to be a bit tight, but hopefully we'll get there.

Apparently we can't sign anyone until the takeover is ratified..? So a real chance of not having it completed before the window closes?

Surely the PL can recognise the situation and speed things up?

Where has this come from that we can't sign anyone until the sale is ratified?

It was from an article FFS.

A takeover at the club by Chinese property developer Dai Yongge is meant to be close but until it's completed Phelan can't sign the six players he believes are needed before the transfer window shuts on Wednesday.
