TrickyTrev Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 MM gets a bonus if we get promoted to the Premiership so it's in his interests to sell us to the right people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Without the "potential" of Mammadov's money we might not have signed Westwood so even without buying us he got us a lot of points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themaskedowl Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 "A lot of you people".... F.ookin' idiots..."A lot of you people" Never get the facts right...."A lot of you people" But the main thing that f.ookin' bothers me..is how you bloody generalise..."A lot of you people" It's alright mate, I think he just means me.

F. Spiksley Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 It's alright mate, I think he just means me. No. Not just you Masked. I too am a f.ookin idiot. Being generalised hurts doesn't it?

The Batman Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 No one slating MM imo. MM agreed to sell us to HM, had HM's financial troubles (that some on here found out about way before MM got sick of waiting) had surfaced aday after the cheque cleared, we would be up sheet creek. We got lucky and dodged a bullet. I just found the MM wankathon when he sold us to DC a bit sickly, when it could have so easily gone boobies up. If you really believe that people on here knew of Mamadov's financial situation before MM got sick of waiting then you've been here in the Owlstalk bubble too long. What MM and any other Chairman/owner say in public isn't always what they're saying in private. Places like this have titbits of truth and fill in the gaps with speculation that then becomes "truth" once enough posters agree. Like I said, it's just lucky for us that it all kicked off for HM back home before he'd paid and got control of the club. If HM hadn't lost access to his money then we might've been OK with him, we don't know. On the surface it looked like we'd got a wealthy man that had an interest in football.

There was loads of articles posted on here that made HM's situation look less than ideal. I ain't doubting the mans intentions, but it it didn't take Uri Geller to tell you somethjng wasn't right well before MM pulled the plug, that said, to play devils advocate, I suppose you could argue that MM knew Hafiz's money situation far better than anyone on here and thought there was a good chance the difficulties could have be overcome?

Blue n White Rampage Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Thank roger Milan pulled plug when he did. Just found out RC Lens are relegated to Ligue 2 no matter how well they do for the remainder of the season. We really missed a bullet with Mammdov and a lot of you people were getting too excited, a man that has two football clubs isn't going to fork out 40 million to buy another club when he could spend the imaginary money on something else. Don't think Dejphon Chansiri is the same kettle of fish as Mammdov. UTO we were lucky that milan was waiting for money to come through and confirmations, however you should get your facts straight. Mammadov has loads of dosh, far, far too much infact. We were lucky that he didn't try to buy us a few months earlier cos then he would have owned us already before his poo poo storm hit, his bank accounts got frozen as he's accused of tax dodging. So he still has loads of cash, just owes loads of it and no-one in Azerbaijan seems to have a calculator big enough to find out how much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramone Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 It wouldn't surprise me if the whole Mammadov saga was all staged by Milan. I bet he's a pal of Milans from way back and ultimately, had no intention of ever buying the club. My theory is that Milan sweetened this by saying he'd get 'Land of Fire' on the shirt free of charge for a year if he came out saying he'd bought the club for £40 million and it was always going to fall through but always knowing that this 'failed purchase' would get someone else interested in purchasing, and it did.

I think he probably wanted an English side and just ran out of money, as Lens found out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Think we got lucky that Mammadov financial problems came to light when they did. If he brought us 6 months before I dread to think what might have happened. More by luck then judgement MM did not sell it to him. Only time will tell if MM sold it to the correct people after all.
