It will be a crying shame if he sells up . He was just about to spend £80m in the January window as well... Proper gutted like.
I used to dock in Gdansk loading coal for Brazil in communist times.
Sometimes there was no beer to be had.One night in the Viking bar all they had was vodka,it was so strong the fumes went up my nose before I took a swig.We got extra glasses and bottles of coke in an attempt to water it down.
Arthur blank has ruled himself out .. It's prob all a load of Shiite as people have said . The only signing in Jan will be Rondon to free up a loan position.
The Peter Kenyon story doesn't seem to add up financially for me - Rockefeller Capital Management only manage net assets of around £10bn. That includes the value of all current assets, not how much cash they have at hand. They control advisory assets of £4bn. I can't imagine they'd want to invest that in a football club, since it'll take about a quarter of their entire wealth to get us to the point where we might - if we displace Man City, Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Spurs - become a brand worth more than that sort of investment. It'd be a huge risk for a venture capitalist. These things are better left to rich individuals who just want something fun to play with, rather than firms whose entire existence depends on investing for profit - particularly when the current owner's valuation is already too high. Maybe there's someone like that who is also part of the picture, but it's difficult to say. We do know Kenyon/Rockefeller was linked a month ago so this isn't a new story, but he's also one of Ashley's mates so hard to know if he's complicit in just another PR stunt so Ashley has an excuse not to spend in January, again, again. Saying that, the Staveley-led takeover was legit, but Ashley just wouldn't play ball.
Might be other buyers lined up, as has been said, but the Kenyon thing doesn't fit for me on the surface.
If Kenyon doesn't buy it nobody will.
Other buyers either dont have the means, or they will fail premier league fit and proper tests. Ashley is toying with Kenyon to try and get more money, something he has done to several potential buyers over the past decade.
We are either stuck with Ashley, or Kenyon wins this war!
