Club Statement - Takeover Update To ensure stability during the transfer window, the Club can confirm that takeover talks have been placed on hold until the summer window closes. Whilst the owners intend to continue discussing a sale to interested parties in September, the priority for the coming weeks is strengthening the squad ahead of the start of the new Premier League season, particularly given the number injuries sustained to key players during pre-season. As always, thank you for your continued support. http://www.hullcitytigers.com/news/article/2016-17/takeover-update-3197377.aspx#03xOTudG66uvAkJD.99
No, it's been replaced with the £30 price cap. Though some clubs have decided to carry on with the things they did under the ASI anyway, like Stoke providing free travel and think Arsenal are doing something similar.
As much as I hate the thought of the Allams staying a moment longer than absolutely necessary, I do see the point of that statement. If these injuries are as bad as forecast, the club are going to have to concentrate all their efforts on recruitment.
If there are any interested parted still interested... That's the key bit. I believe the rest completely.
The takeover wouldn't have stopped recruitment, in fact if they'd have cracked on earlier it would have been done already Even if it was midway it only needed agreements from both parties regarding who to sign Easily sorted I'd think
Club Statement - Takeover Update Under the pretext of ensuring stability during the transfer window, the Club can confirm that takeover talks have been well and truly scuppered. Whilst the owners intend to continue discussing a sale to interested parties, if they can find anyone daft enough, the priority for the coming weeks is strengthening the squad, as long as we can can find enough free agents (we'll be using the 'try and sell the club in September' bollocks to justify not spending anything). As always, thank you for your continued support, you dopey ****s. http://www.diewhenyouwant.com/news/article/2016-17/load-of-bollocks
You're more than likely right 'tash - I was thinking along the lines of new owners perhaps having their own manager waiting in the wings; even then, it wouldn't have been too difficult to sign players.
You know how you accuse the Allams of sulking and throwing the toys out of the pram if they dont get their own way...
