New Buyer Progress

[ramAnag]

I really, really wish I lived in your world of fairy godmothers and pink unicorns rA, but who is going to "step in" - the administrators role is to find a rescuer they are not just titting around waiting for a miracle to come riding over the horizon If the price goes low enough someone will take a punt, but that may well come with more penalties.

Nowt to do with fairy godmothers and unicorns, pink or otherwise, GP. I don’t believe in them any more than you.
I thought the ‘rescuer’ or ‘miracle’ - whichever you wish to call it - was a prospective buyer. Thought that was the point...but so far the four or five that have shown interest all seem to have either been frightened off or be indulging in a level of ‘brinkmanship which is harming rather than saving us.
Again I have to question the integrity and suitability of any potential owner who will only step in once the price has dropped low enough meaning that next season is ****ed too.

Integrity and suitability....of getting the best price. Yes it may rupture next season but maybe the potential owners are playing the long game? Or maybe they just naturally have a screw loose.

Let's just look at the logic of buying a football club... and the almost certainty of losing a shed load of money every year in so doing. Then let's consider the sense of buying a club with huge debts, one that has won **** all in over 40byears....

See where I'm going here - you can't apply normal rules of logic in buying a club, especially a crippled one

Bit of a case of moving the goalposts, GP...but I can only agree.
Never really understood what motivates people to buy football clubs...other than a bizarre mixture of extreme wealth and ego.
Our ‘crippled’ condition and the current situation in Europe can’t help at all...as Chelski are doubtless discovering. Welcome to Wayne’s world.

Aha, the current situation in Europe is to blame: Brexit! So it's all Johnson's fault the DCFC cannot be saved 😃. Strange how everything comes back to one focus

I give up. Your ‘end game’ and logic is as difficult to understand as Putin’s but...to be clear...my reference to the ‘current situation in Europe’ was to impending war...not Brexit.

Just when I thought you were capable of reasoned debate, you spoil it, but I presume your being humorous!

Ashley must be the best bet for us then, he actually made money on the Newcastle deal!

Saw a bloke in town earlier with a sandwich board.... it read "the end is nigh". Bet that comes earlier than Quantuma naming the preferred bidder

Perhaps he meant for Derby?

Surely it said "Het einde is nabij"
