Why is there a video of John Carver giving a press conference half way down the article - is that who Kenyon has lined up to replace Ashley? The video doesn't play on my computer as I think John Carver is banned in Indonesia.
He owns 30% of Debenhams so it's in his interest to offer them a loan to stop them folding, quite why they haven't taken it is beyond me...maybe the rest of their shareholders are more stubborn than Ashley . He seems intent on high street domination so hopefully his interest in owning a football club is dwindling with each passing day.
I'm absolutely shocked and astounded that this has not made any progress... It says something about the love for the club our fans have that they are willing to believe this **** every year. Or perhaps it suggests they're ****ing stupid? Either way it reminds me of this please log in to view this image I am more convinced than ever that the likes of Kenyon and Staveley are part of the Ashley Massive.
It’s oh so quiet. SHHHHH shhhhh (Bjorg) Nothing to see here. In fact, close the thread because we are just wasting our energy in here. Can we start talking about something more productive like Mitrovic, Pardew or Penfold please.
What is the obsession with a deal being done before January 1st .................. and the presumption that if it doesn't then the deal will be dead. If it happens by second week of January that would still give new owners more than enough time to bring in fresh faces.
It's all bollocks anyway mate Ashley is going to spend nothing on January and he's stringing rafa along with the hope of a takeover
Oh, please don't misunderstand me ...................... it will definitely NOT happen at any point .................. but theoretically ...............!!
I do think that there are interested parties ................. but Ashley seems to be the zen master at scuppering a deal because it inevitably turns into a pissing contest for him. I think his 'revelation' on Sky was his clumsy attempt to push things along. I doubt that Rafa is taken in by it any more than we are ...................... he knows better than anyone what a prick Ashley is.
So just to be clear - the reason the club doesn't spend money is Mike's absurd policies, poor commercial revenue and weird book-keeping that ensure daft situation such as being able to sell in staggered payments, but only be allowed to buy in lump sums. This utter horse-**** model has held us back for the previous eleven years and has FACK ALL to do with the pending takeover. We wouldn't spend the same pissy amounts if the only party interested consisted of Bert, Ernie and Big Bird. Nothing about the January window has anything to do with a takeover - it's baffling how anyone comes to that conclusion after the Summer of 2018. The MOST LIKELY reasons for the takeover "delaying" are as follows (and in order): 1) There's no delay at all. It takes time, will take another 2 weeks, possibly all "working" days which could delay something til mid-Jan. 2) There's multiple bidders, under NDA. Mike doesn't have to adhere strictly to the NDA, hence shooting his mouth off, but still hasn't said anything controversial. The 'delay' (see 1) could be due to differing offers. 3) Strawberry Place is an issue under consideration - there have been rumours about building casino/hotel facilities, similar to the set-up at Chelsea. This would be reasonable to assume if Peter Kenyon is involved. The issue is a bidder may need council assurances about using the land/expanding the stadium. 4) Offer(s) are lower than £300m as due diligence has meant the value of the club is really around £270-275m.
6. We are not actually for sale. Mike enjoys all the publicity and is hoping this will generate sales of bedsheets from Debenhams and HOF.
7. Doc and Marty have used an alternative future and unfortunately peter kenyons disappearing from his family photographs.
Are you calling @Somebodys pinched my sombrero a Purple Dildo as it was him that started this latest rumour?
