LOL.
It's a language that you struggle with, especially the written version.

Haven't a clue about our lot pulling out though this mag rag eventually questioned it all as you can see at the end :lol::lol:

The BZG were very vocal and came out to say everything was progressing well and they had submitted an offer. Ashley stayed silent which was fairly typical but he didn’t deny it – and that seemed key. As it started to look like it was fading, there was another “statement” by BZG, released 5 weeks before the season started. This was released through Peter Redding of Capital Radio in the UAE (which seemed dubious I have to say) which said:


Then……….absolutely nothing.

Nothing. It is like they disappeared into the abyss.

What actually happened with the takeover?

But then that opens a whole load more questions.
  • Do we really believe that Ashley has enough power to influence the Bin Zayed Group to pretend there was a takeover just to increase season ticket sales?
  • Why has Peter Redding, who boasted that he was in regular contact with BZG, not said another word?
  • Do BZG even exist?
  • Was it all just a figment of my imagination?

I am not a journalist but surely those who are should be at the very least asking these questions?

Why hasn’t a local (or national) news outlet pushed to find out what has happened to the “bid”?

Are we just supposed to forget about it?

If you're going on about the supposed mags bid, in the words of Rhett Butler;
Frankly my dear I don't give a damn
 
I check these threads a few times a day. Go straight to the last page. Nothing obvious has happened. Skip back to previous page. Scan through. Some argument ongoing. Nowt to do with the takeover. Skip back another page. Some reference to something which might be related. Skip back a few more pages, wading through a load of shite to find the original post offered nothing new anyway. Give up and come back later! :lol::rolleyes::confused:

I have not read all the thread but does Ellis own the Hilton near the ground? If so the new lads want that as well apparently as part of the deal. Don't shoot the messenger.

Ellis owns it. Any deal to buy the hotel will be separate. There's no real reason why they'd need to complete at the same time, other than convenience if they want to bring the hotel into the group (easier to do all the restructuring in one go). It's hard to see how a delay in Short agreeing terms would hold things up radically.

Absolutely this, what had potential to be the best thread ever has descended into possibly the worst, it’s like Groundhog Day!
