New owner confirmed…

So this thread has now reached 300 pages. I remember even early summer coming home from work, getting straight onto this thread to get the latest, as it was the only source of news. That was when the sale seemed a formality. Never looked less likely now.

 

And just noticed 6000 posts! and nearly 400,000 views. Seems I'm not the only one using this thread for news.

 

I was using this thread for train puns, but even that's gone to ****.

 

So we've got 4 consortiums interested.
Two from China
One from Germany
And now apparently a Japanese consortium have come forward if you believe a local journalist.
The 130m bid (Chinese/Pearson) was it accepted? or is a bidding battle still going on.
Somebody needs to tell these potential buyers if the deal doesnt get done for January (window) they would have bought a Championship side.
Though with this seasons payments and the parchute payments from Sky/BT they obviously will have taken that into consideration and still view it as a very good business deal.

 

What is the PL tv rights payment schedule?
When is the next instalment due to 'us'?

 

Burnsy probably got his "info" from

 

Lets hope something comes of it, just hope they don't just fade away(the consortiums), and we are left with these two docile twats, because if people think its bad now its only going to get worse, just look at Blackburn absent owners, club being run down, selling club, surviving on loans from other clubs.

 

Or Coventry.

 

Don't be mistaken, don't be misled,
Charles is 25 and he comes from Birkenhead.

 

Why would anyone want to stump that amount of money for us.........

 

That's a good question.

 

I just get it then.
We don't own our own stadium we are pretty much nailed on for relegation yet they are willing to pay 130m

 

Serious question, has there been a concrete offer or is it all innuendo's and rumours.

 

I don't think anyone is willing to pay £130m.

I don't think there are four consortia duking it out to buy Hull City.

I've no idea whether that Hong Kong stock exchange thing was quite what it seemed.

I've no belief that Ehab wants to sell the club to anyone, let alone anyone at a price that is reasonable for both parties.

I believe that in that toxic mix, with a woefully under-invested squad and backroom, Phelan is doing a decent job. And fans could do well to latch onto that and support him and his team, as happened at Watford yesterday.

 

I don't know I'm just going by what ive read in the media.
One group failed the Premier League tests.
And another was put on the stock exchange but I wont pretend to know anything about that kind of stuff.

 

Where's your avatar from Pudsey? I like it.
