We need Smug in Boots here. He'll give us the insider information.

Apparently some American guys are coming into buy us with a £10m down payment. The next 33 will be paid in instalments over 33 years.

Things are looking up lads.
 
If Ashley doesn’t sell this time I think the fans will actually **** off the club altogether and he will lose an absolute fortune.

Seriously as there is clearly an interested party with the money to buy and invest he hasn’t got a ****ing leg to stand on. He has no excuses. Surely he’s not dumb enough to **** this one up as it could be catastrophic for him longer term?

You’re taking about the most spiteful man in football, anything is possible!!
 
According to some kid on twatter, Ashley is asking for the implication of democracy in Saudi before he will sell yet another British cultural asset. Another twatterite apparently witnessed Ashley ranting at Stavely, repeatedly saying 'show me the money!'.
Out of Europe, into the Middle East. I finally understand you northern brexiters. :)

What did you read? Everything looks right, typical Ashley standoff, my hope is Staveley has previous and saw this coming.

Also the earlier post is right - this will be the final straw for many if he somehow ****s this one up.

Of course the other person who could loose face if this goes tits up is Staveley.
She won't want to be associated with another failed attempt at a buyout - wouldn't look good on her CV.
I'm sure she'll be trying her very best...
 
Roland I don't know how to break this to you. Its more likely that it won't happen than it is that it will <yikes>

How very dare you. So are you suggesting that my belief - that we will replicate the City takeover, be saving everything for the last day of the transfer window AND bring in a marquee signing - is somehow wide of the mark?
