Otto_Man Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 What on earth are you talking about? I would suggest re-reading what I've said. You're the one claiming to have enough knowledge to be concerned about the situation, I'm ambivalent. I wouldn't bother Dan, reyt drama queen this one. Expect this'll be interpreted as me calling his Mum a slag or summat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris E Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 The general gist of all the articles I've read is that Mammadov has already provided 38m for Lens budget next season. This budget is substantial and puts them in the top 7-8 bracket for funding. I've also read that Mamma is happy to provide further funding as the season unfolds if and when needs be. He seems unhappy at having to stump up another 10 big ones after already providing a more than adequate budget. Also it is implied from a large number of articles that Mamma is unhappy with Martel. This may be because Martel insisted on the 48m budget and entered that with the French league, going against his wishes, in the hope that Mamma would stump up the remaining 10 million. It's now been blown all out of proportion, with hack journalists publishing bullshit articles about bankruptcy, imprisonment and financial difficulties because these stories sell papers............ So annoyed with the crap being bandied about, Mamma released a statement on the SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY website denying these claims and threatening action against the perpetrators. This is significant because a) It confirms he is the owner of Wednesday and b) he is getting pretty miffed with Lens and/or the French football association. In the meantime it is announced that we are to be sponsored by 'Land of fire' and all signs point to a positive conclusion to the takeover. We have Stuart Gray saying we're just waiting for ratification, Milan saying the same, the process is ongoing with the football league. Do you really think that this many people are having the wool pulled over their eyes?? Exactly how I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daleblue Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 So the.FA are looking for any reason to block this takeover? Jeesusd H Christ...its the ******* FOOTBALL LEAGUE I'm with you on this mate. It's always the FL or the FA, I wish that they would just talk to each other. And I wish the FA would hurry up with Ratification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plonk Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I read this as follows; mamma has put 38mm into Lens for next years budget with a further 10mm in guarantees but the french FA (or martel) want the full 48mm up front so mamas told them to flip off. This is ten million quid they want up front not a tenner. Tbh if I was a rich business man and they wouldn't accept my gaurantees I think I would do the same. Mamas wealthy but I don't think he will have ten million in his back pocket!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're the one claiming to have enough knowledge to be concerned about the situation, I'm ambivalent. I'm not claiming to have all the facts though, nor am I claiming to have enough to knowledge on the situation. I'm merely stating that the goings off in France have been enough to worry me personally, whether you or others see it differently is fine, but that's just my take on things.

Earlsfieldowl Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Nobody here knows, that’s the bottom line - it’s all speculation. However the mere fact this spat at Lens is still running and we are still awaiting ratification cannot be mere coincidence. The FA will be watching to see how it is resolved, as it will demonstrate, in their eyes, as to whether Mammadov is 'Fit and proper'. Actions rather than just mere paperwork... If all the paperwork is up to date and correct, there would no reason for the FA to block it. Once the Lens situation is resolved to a satisfactory conclusion, we will then see if the FA move more quickly with us. If not, there must be something else that is stopping the process, as to what that could be, no one knows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
