Howay 12447 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Aye I’ve heard the same, think Ashley comes back from holiday in a week. I know he obviously delegates transfers but he always seems to be away on holiday when the transfer window is open the fucking oaf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5881 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 With the state of this transfer window there’s no chance Staveley is buying us until we are mathematically safe from relegation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4949 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Yep, that much should be considered absolutely certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30239 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Don't think there was any chance anyway. Ashley was in a good position after we beat Crystal Palace and survival almost looked like a formality, since then things have changed to the extent the buyers hold all the cards. That's why I thought the funding for the transfers coming from the buyers sounded unlikely. I.e. why should they? If Ashley wants to spend the money to protect his investment let him, if he doesn't, that's his risk and he's the one who'll lose out if we get relegated.

wykikitoon 16490 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Aye He's gonna gamble with it and a very small part of me hopes he seriously fucks up. Although that would mean were stuck with the cunt for even longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to hope this particular gamble works out for him perfectly, he spends nowt, we stay up, he sells and off he goes with tons of money.

After the last two relegations Ashley still hasn’t got the hang of this protecting your investment malarky tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 14527 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) This has come from the Stavely camp, she's known to be friends with Richard Desmond the publisher of the star & express. If Ashleys not taken her hand off he's not selling. I think if we were being sold it would've happened by now.

trooper 940 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 He's an utter shithouse there's a deal to be done here yet he has no intention of doing it. Prefering to hang on to see if the club is worth even more money when the new tv deal is done. It's all been a ruse to give Rafa nothing again. If Stavely wont give him £350 now i cant see her offering more in the summer in fact she might well walk away now. i guess we'll know pretty soon.

Aye, that's a good point. In a way the new TV deal isn't that important. If it goes up 50% then we'll see wages and transfer fees going up too. It isn't like suddenly we'll be able to start turning over tens of millions in profits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper 940 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I'd be very surprised if Stavely had upped her offer given our league position predicament Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19735 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Staveley is still positive the deal will go through, I’m told. It’ll be after the new tv money is announced next month though, at the earliest, so fuck knows how that affects Ashley’s thinking in this window. Earlier reports that she would apparently underwrite our January transfer dealings were inaccurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few more fixtures under our belts we could feasibly be 11th. If we're 11th will she suddenly up her bid, then drop it the following week when we drop to 16th, then up again when we grab 12th spot for a weekend?

The clubs been on a downward spiral since negotiations started hence Stavely's reluctance to go near Ashley's valuation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
