trooper 940 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) Tbh if we lose another couple of games i think the £250 million bid will look like a very generous offer Edited December 6, 2017 by trooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could understand if it wasn't during the season, to get attention when there's no football on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
247 597 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I have the horrible feeling that its not going to happen now, was very optimistic when the bid was made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) If she had immediately returned with an improved bid it would have looked desperate and he would, correctly, turn it down safe in the knowledge that he could probably extract more. She'll be waiting until closer to Christmas, when he wanted a deal by. Imo. Edited December 6, 2017 by TheGingerQuiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I'm reading it could take a further 40 days once the deals accepted before PCP would be new owners. The reasons being further due diligence & approval by the football league. This must be why the 2 week deadline was mentioned at the begining of the week. if a deal was sorted today we'd be looking around the middle of January for the new owners taking over. Giving Rafa very little time for reinforcements 2 weeks later & the window closes, Rafa would have very little to buy reinforcements probably having to sell to buy. The clock is ticking.

ewerk 34550 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Well the deal wouldn't be finalised until the PL gives the go ahead so I can't see how new owners could give him any money until the everything is confirmed. Plus trying to get the PL to agree to anything over the Christmas period could be tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 If Rafa knew 100% that Staveley was deffo taking over he could have all his potential new signings ready to just sign their contracts.

trooper 940 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) If thats the case unless theres news next week you can pretty much write the January window off as we all know Ashley's stance Edited December 7, 2017 by trooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken 119 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Best to err on the side of caution. Nothing concrete will be happening imminently. Jan window is shut. Put yourself in Staveley's shoes, or high heels, for a moment; Why would you pay more for a club that is a threat of relegation. Better to wait to see what happens and the pressure goes back to Ashley to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
