Thus on that basis I am in Mearþsǣthām in Suthrig, Westsæɑksnɑ ˈritʃe
Still would have preferred Ashley
The money generated from the sports direct sponsor would have bbe massive
Having read the detail, I'm not that sure we are any further along. In simple transactions like house buying, exchanging contracts place significant legal obligations on buyer and seller that mean the transaction is as good as 100% certain to be completed - I've never known one to not do. What we have here though looks like a 'conditional sale' where completion is only obligated where all conditions are satisfied, and I've know many of them to fall away. Sounds to me like there are still two significant flies in the CK may well have only done what he's done 'in good faith' with his intention to bankroll the club in the short term being his only real commitment.
I still smell something mouldy in the cupboard, lets hope not
I think its been done like this because they werent getting away with another extension and Kirchner was dogs abuse, not to mention Morris getting threats and also people threatening to raid his home etc
I still have doubts we’re gonna be saved at all, I have this sneaking suspicion theyre letting this club go to the wolves and Chelsea are another thats being strung along whilst they milk it as well
As for the detail no we arent any further along
A lot last night were celebrating over absolutely nothing ffs
These rich scumbags know how to play the system and drag things on with fancy jargon
How hard is it to sell a football club?... its ridiculous at this point
Im waitingnfor the bomb to go off
Anything, be that a house, a car, a rare Northern Soul 45, any business.... they are only worth what somebody is willing to pay for it.
Take DCFC as a case in point. League 1 bound. Doesn't own the stadium. Doesn't own the Training Ground. Only has 3 players registered for next season at the moment. There are 2 more on which the club has options for next season but the EFL won't allow the club to trigger those options. Went into Administration in September with debts of around £65M. That debt has risen since. Operating losses of a few million to add on. Plus another £8M to add to the £26M already owed to HMRC. Find someone a) willing to pay millions for what really is a basket case of a business b) someone willing to pay enough to avoid a 15 point penalty for not paying creditors at least the 25% minimum demanded under EFL rules c) get the stadium sorted, either bought or leased d) someone that passes the EFL fit and proper test e) can prove they have the funds to transact the business plan f) have that business plan accepted by the EFL g, h and further.... other things I am unaware of.
All of this done in a climate where MM has received threats of violence and death threats. In a climate where a few choice tossers have been verbally abusing the man trying to buy the club. Slating him for visiting Bangkok on other business, part of which was attending a golf tournament his company slync.io was sponsoring ........... we're lucky he hasn't pulled out.
The above is just part of "how hard it is to sell a football club".
Blimey, MA. You’re usually my (forum) source of common sense and optimism. Not doubting the common sense and don’t doubt you’re right...but that’s the most depressing post for a while. Lighten up or the razor blades and Leonard Cohen CD’s will have to be put into storage.
At least we don’t have the sort of fan who appeared to head butt Billy Sharp senseless last night. Not a typical Forest fan I know, but I hope a lifetime ban and a lengthy jail sentence beckons. Unbelievable!
