The future of the club is in the hands of the PL.
Ashley wouldn’t throw in the towel and loose £300M
He is far too greedy for that .
He bankrolled us when we were relegated twice due to his negligence.
Any extra money would not come out his own pocket but be added to the asking price .

This takeover is past the point of no return.
He lost 10k supporters and had to give away free tickets last year if he doesn’t leave I recon the sheer disappointment would see another 10 / 15 k to add to those numbers SJP would be half full.
If this falls through he will have to find another buyer sharpish
