TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Douglas, deary me, now we should question everything apparently, despite his lot baiting the fans with every bombastic headline going throughout this entire saga and doubling-down defending it because "it all goes in the live blog" Suppose it's an easier line to take than "I knew absolutely fuck all about what was happening for the last 17 weeks" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 The whole point of this test anyway was to prove they have the funds to run a club. We’ve been shafted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggys First Goal Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Aye, when Ashley bought the club, it was public knowledge that the bloke was rich. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2007/may/23/football Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 What we thinking then, this will just play out into nothingness? Honestly, probably. The consortium haven’t officially pulled out of the D&O test, but will not engage with the Premier League anymore and will wait for an official response by them. In the end the Premier League won’t make a response. It all comes down to if Saudi Arabia are willing to gamble on threatening to pull out of trade deals with the U.K. government in order to force the Premier League’s hand.

Skeletor Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Henry Mauriss has huge red flags all over him. Billionaires can not keep themselves out of financial media and blogs. People write about them constantly and their net worth info is everywhere. There's no way he's rich and managed to fly under the radar like this. All the google search results about him are only in reference to this alleged bid for our club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 They’re getting absolute pelters online, how long can we keep this up for?

Wouldn’t it be amusing if they had to make their Twitter private like KBA.. their silence on the matter is quite telling They can’t make their twitter profile private, it being open is the whole point in their account. If it continues though, they will just employ someone to ban all the people who post negative stuff on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t it be amusing if they had to make their Twitter private like KBA.. their silence on the matter is quite telling They'll potentially disable replies, but then that limits the point of their tweets in the first place which are designed to provoke engagement.

It will annoy them at the very least which is all the more reason to carry on doing it. They have a very high engagement in their posts and basically 50% of what I’m seeing is takeover related. As someone above said, they’ll have to have very thick skin to weather this. They’ve fucked us over, we won’t forget this in a hurry no matter how much the rest of the media will want us to.

SUPERTOON Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 The Mauriss deal would get us closer to better owners than keeping Ashley now that the Saudis bid is done. And by that I mean any good owners will find it easier to buy from Mauriss than Ashley. That’s based on absolutely nothing other than surely he can’t be as thick skinned and difficult to deal with as Ashley surely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Aye, when Ashley bought the club, it was public knowledge that the bloke was rich. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2007/may/23/football Yep. He was media shy but when your worth strays into the billions you tend to develop a profile even if it’s just within your particular niche. If Mauriss has anything approaching £350m I’ll butter and eat my own arse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
