Gritty Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 An updated statement from club would be nice. Last official one was the "It'll be completed before Christmas" one. Think bbc journalists got the "It's slipped" communication without any formal statement. Then journalists got hold of the "You won't be paid on time. Again" memo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This money was due to be sent to solicitors and so might be held in escrow.

Rampage Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 1 hour ago, GenBr said: So in other words everyone is only guessing that the payment hasn't gone through. I assume there are very few people who will have access to said bank account, so not sure why we should assume it would leak out either. Don't get me wrong I'm starting to get suspicious of these guys as well, but the payment could already have been made and we'd be none the wiser. There are multiple reasons why they wouldnt want to announce it just yet even if it has gone through. This was a point that I made. Hello, we have a lot of money and we will well over the odds for your player. Hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That they'll accept a lower offer today because we haven't confirmed the takeover, then if it's confirmed in days go "oh poo, we had no idea they were getting new investment! we should have waited, we could have got more money out of them!" More likely is that they'd outright reject any offers we made until we confirmed the takeover was confirmed off or complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pottig Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Are people actually making £500 transfers to family members as if that's any way comparable to a £multi-million takeover of a football club by a foreign entity? Or am I reading this thread wrong? Some people need to sort their lives out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know for sure if we are having a takeover, how would other clubs know. I would just want us to pay the same as rival bidders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
