Howmanheyman 26767 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 We're basically knackered, I don't think anyone is prepared to pay FMA what he wants and also keep the club going with funds. They either haven't got the money or don't think we're worth the investment. I just wish either party, (FMA or potential bidders), would announce their intentions that the game is up. I'm just pissed off with the stalemate and being kept in the dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUICE690 0 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) I've read on various boards and threads and I still feel like I have no clue. What's hindering the sale, if there are serious interested buyers ?! Ashley is desperate to sell, so is he simply setting the asking price too high ? Are there some "shadowy" repayments (infrastructure, players, transfers) to be made on top of the buying price and the running costs, which have not been made common knowledge and only show up when they open the "books"? I can understand the buyers wanting to push the price down and therefore waiting to conclude a deal. Still sporting wise it makes little sense, since at the same time, targeted managers and players join other clubs and the start of the new campaign gets closer and the transfer market won't be open forever either. I gave up trying to find a rational explanation for all this a long time ago and I suggest you do the same or you'll end up rocking in a corner of a darkened room repeatedly writing out 'it'll be sold within a week' using hand fulls of your own shit.

Hope its true tho. Is it me or does that website come across as having users with the combined mentality of 5? It's a little like a forum, but lowered and with a massive spoiler on the back.

Rob W 0 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 It's logical that they'd try and get it sorted before the season starts No-one wants to make an announcement on a Friday as it does nowt for any stock price (like Ashley's) It's been 6-8 weeks and that's about right for a major deal due diligence The only worry is that it's FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
