Also, last 24 hours hasn't it gone VERY quiet, was almost hourly bait being chucked around previously. Fingers crossed. It's being reported they've knocked our bid back. Mind you it's only the torygraph and they are saying we'll be back with a better bid imminently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's based on Ornstein's comment "bid not sufficient" from a few days ago, where he carefully avoided using the word "rejected". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 7478 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 More detailed reports I've seen have been saying that the cash amount was right but they're not happy with the structure of sell ons and whatnot. We're not far off. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you it's only the torygraph and they are saying we'll be back with a better bid imminently. I don't know if there's been any update on what I read yesterday but it seemed to be then that our bid hadn't been accepted or rejected and the thought was that it was broadly what they wanted and we just needed to tweak the payment terms a little. Surely if this is the case we should just tell them we can pay it all up front? Unless my thinking is wrong, we are just about the only club on earth who paying out in installments makes no difference to whatsoever. If the idea is to get in and get it done before the mancs can pull together the finances, then accepting Red Bull's terms is the way to go about it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 12383 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 I may be clutching at straws, but I'm interpreting the radio silence in the media since the bid went it as a positive thing. I'm assuming they're deep in negotiation about the finer details of the structure of the deal rather than the deal itself. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would think the club would want to avoid any further embarrassing rejections 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 9903 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Or they have a formal bid in from us so they’ve scurried over to Man Utd to see if they can do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 27784 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 (edited) The third thread on this from the SMB is approaching 3000 posts. So maybe 8000 so far in total. Mainly racist shite with a dollop of misogyny thrown in, they really don't like that Kendall lass. I'll tell you what fletch, when you racially abused Bent's mam and he left, what we didn't do was talk about it obsessively to the extent we amassed thousands of posts on it you sad mackem bastard.
