Also Ashley has another bidder willing to go 50m higher allegedly so no doubt he now wants this one to be successfull.

Additional 50m from new bidders and the 17m non refundable from PIF if this sale falls through
I'm sure I read somewhere its not as simple as that. Plus its that knacka Luke Edwards spouting about the 14th. I am almost certain this one has to run its course at the Premier League 1st as even if the slug tried to accept a higher bid I cant see them having 2 owners/directors tests at once. Am certain it ends only if the money isn't paid in a timeframe after the go ahead from PL.
I am totally calm over it all as it will go through. The 1st date mentioned was 9th April when it went to the PL. The day before Good Friday, so it won't have even started at best until 14th/15th April. So we are what, 3 weeks into a 2-4 week test. Patience, our fanbase want this so much and a lot are driving themselves crazy checking every 5 mins.
A lot of them say it won't happen as it is out in the open. Well it isn't from Ashley, Staveley, Rueben's or the Saudis. It all came from Companies House. Then a lot saying it won't happen as there has been no news. Well we can't have it both ways. We will soon be dining at the top table instead of Burger King. #cans
