Saudi Takeover?

[Roland Deschain]

Report from the considerably reliable Wall Street Journal claims the club is about to be bought by Saudis Public Investment Fund, backed by Prince Mohammed.

Effectively makes us more or less the richest club in the World.

Surely this should have "broken" before the start of the transfer window, not nearly at the end?

What is Ashley asking price ?

Maybe it’s actually real?

Maybe it’s actually real?

Well, yes, there is that option, but given historical precedence ...

Take over talk, deals for players completed before the last few days of the window, scrambling results late into the game, FA cup taken seriously.....what has happened?

Stop the positivity, stop it right now, as when these type of things happen we are due to some calamity to wipe it out!!

It's on again.... Woohoo

Good
It's been a few months since a bullshit takeover story. This one better be really funny!!!

What is Ashley asking price ?

£50M




More than anyone offers. Then there’s the little extras. Then there’s the transitional arrangements..then ...

The takeover is codenamed 'Project Zebra'... Timing is all wrong for a MA stunt. League position, stadium and fanbase makes us a very attractive proposition currently. WSJ very highly regarded publication. Saudi Arabia have already begun trying to diversify their economy away from reliance on oil, with investment in sports and entertainment one avenue they are exploring. Could be real.
