New Manager Ideas

[Mckechnie Orange]

Oh aye, forgot about Greavsey, though I don't think the Allams can take much credit for that one, he was at the club before they were.

Accrued most of his value under the current ownership also.

I've been researching (Wikipedia)Ruben Sellers and I see he's a manager that's never been a professional player. That'll be overlooked until he loses two matches in a row.

its a good job he wont be playing then

So no
They didn’t sell

....because the PL stopped it.

Which is even worse, they didn't do enough checks to ensure they would pass the fit and proper owners test.

 

[Drew]

This has come up several times before but I think it's much less clear cut than the version that has become accepted. The PL didn't like something about the consortium, but that didn't necessarily mean the whole thing was off. Neither the PL or FA ever even announced that they'd failed the test. Assem Allam announced himself that the takeover was off because of it and that became the accepted truth, but he was always an unreliable source of information. I think the reality is more that it could've been sorted if all parties wanted it to be, but Assem was spooked by the findings of the test and pulled the plug with the Dai family as a result. Perhaps that and a combination of the other factors that made him and Ehab reluctant to sell at various times. Assem was obsessively paranoid about being ripped off.

In a way it was a bullet dodged, although the following 6 years for us were pretty miserable anyway.

I think that's probably fair enough - but it doesn't alter the fact that the Allams agreed to sell to a group which failed the test. That flies in the face of them saying they would only sell to good owners. They clearly didn't do enough checks to do that, otherwise the PL wouldn't have stepped in.

It doesn't matter - in a business deal the sellers don't really have the responsibility to do checks really - but I don't like it when people say one thing and do another.

Ffs did they sell ?? No

 

[Amin Arrears]

Just read Dawson is staying on. Disappointing, I was really hoping he would get sacked.

I don't really understand why you're getting so mad Chazz. The fact is - the deal got so far as the Premier League got involved. When they didn't like the deal - it all comes apart.

That means they didn't do enough checks to find out whether they would pass the checks or not, which goes against them saying they were finding good new owners.

 

[Clovis Iscariot]

Can we move on it’s getting boring now.

What’s he ever done to you?

A little update
In addition to Ruben Selles arriving at City, it's our understanding two of his staff from the SCL Stadium will be coming with him. James Oliver-Pearce and Tobias Loveland, two of his trusted coaches, will follow him to the MKM Stadium, joining Andy Dawson and Erbil Bozkurt, who remain on the coaching staff at City following Tim Walter's exit.

There's only KLP we've got a significant fee for, from the players Acun inherited and that allegedly went to the Allams anyway.

Key word being allegedly, it was also allegedly said the money received for KLP came off the price of the club that Acun actually paid, and what about Jacob Greaves and Philogene?

What’s Philogene got to do with the Allams?

 

[eimaj]

KLPs been playing LB for Brentford recently.

He was still an 'asset' sold by the current owners, which was an answer to the original claim posted on here that the allams 'sold all the assets'. The current owners have already sold over £50m worth and no-one has raised an eyebrow.

He was also bought by the current owner
