Prutton Away Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 You would if someone else had offered it up.....see other threads, makes sense. Chansari ploughed a fair wedge in prior to buying the club. Mandric took it as part of the due diligence (best phrase I can think of). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddyowl Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 If you were selling us, would you be asking £200 million ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but he'd get £100m or even£50m..... especially if it's from the balloon man (mate of DC's?) who advertised on the fancy hoarding on match day. Apparently, part ownership is a way round FFP. Again another theory that seems fairly credible on another thread. The Chansari family have done pretty well with this tuna business thing a value of £7 billion doesn't just happen by luck and he will have someone lined up to step in.

Rev Owl Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 If you said you were selling in a moment of high emotion and then regretted it you might set an unreasonably high price to avoid backing down and avoid anyone buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastern Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I am not so sure he will sell. May have been spur of the moment after a heated forum. if new manager starts delivering and fans are not having the ump, would he still want to walk away?

wilfsmith Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I wasn't at the Fans' Forum but it seems clear that DC was adamant Jos was going to stay on Wednesday night but by tonight Jos is gone. Don't get me wrong, I didn't want Jos to stay but what sort of strategic thinking has there been at the top of the club in reaching this important decision between Wednesday and Friday? Is it the same sort of strategic planning that suddenly put the club up for sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly, he might give him a 12 month roller and I would probably estimate that the club wouldn't be sold in under 12 months. I mean, would you buy?

He could possibly give/loan the money to the balloon man to go in with him. Probally really dodgy financially, but all sorts of weird stuff like this goes on in big business to make tax laws work for you So why not with FFP.

Morepork Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Said it the other day and Bullen said the same in the presser. DC, emotions running high pretty much said something in the heat of the moment. Sure, it's technically true as most things are for sale at the right price but he still wants to succeed here make no mistake. Bottom line is, he could still succeed here if he can bridge the gap between him and the average fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzieowl Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 What DC said about selling could be taken two ways. Could have just meant when he’s ready (if not wanted) he will put us up for sale and expects plenty of interest.. in another breath earlier said wanted pass on to his son. mek thi mind up lad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adelphi1867 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I don't know about selling a football club, but I would NEVER,EVER. buy a football club. Just a money pit, espescially Wednesday, the squad needs renewing and only time can help there, the ground should be in a museum and will cost up to £100m to bring into the 21st century, a ground that has 40k seats but can only hold 33k due to safety concerns and generates very little financial return. Who ever is stupid enough to take us on will need £200m, either as a consortium or on his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably he's had the nod from Bruce, hence the change of tac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
