Reggie Greenwood Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 37 minutes ago, GenBr said: For the same reason Mel Morris did. If I remember correctly when Mel first bought a share of the club he did it at a value more than he should have based on the fact that we may have been in the Prem shortly after after thus increasing the value of his investment. He took a risk that hasn't paid off, but he didnt do it purely because he is a fan. Thats the only reason why anyone would buy an EFL club really - purely to get access to the Prem money. There are other illegal reasons why you want one as well, but we can't discuss them here. Direct those discussions allegedly to our near neighbours chairman ?

Abu Derby Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I know this sounds daft but I’m wondering if the money has been misplaced, or worse, lost. I imagine that there is a lot of finger pointing and name-calling taking place. I just hope the cost of insuring £60m in cash is not too much. We really are in trouble if this is true.

Tyler Durden Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I've refrained from posting on this thread before as didn't want to be guilty of adding to some of the near hysteria building up. If the potential new owners invest as much in players as they do on website designers then I can't see what the big fuss on the takeover delay is going to be as we will be dining out on waste food bin dipped from Asda rather than Fortnum and Mason fare.

TomTom92 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Gone passed caring really. But can’t help but think it’s all gone Pete Tong. Not sure the length of time that it’s taken and the silence this week can conclude to anything positive. At least we look better on the pitch though.

You know what you've done now? That's another "excuse" that some will attribute directly to the club? In all seriousness. Whilst possible, I think it's incredibly unlikely.

Tyler Durden Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Wigan Athletic: Takeover of administration-hit club breaks down - https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/55547220 The prospective takeover of Wigan Athletic by Leganes owner Felipe Moreno has fallen through. The club's administrators announced they had ended negotiations with the bidder on Tuesday morning. They said in a statement the bid had been reduced by almost 50% over the weekend and proceeding with it would have resulted in a 15-point deduction for the League One club. Moreno had initially been part of a Spanish consortium looking to buy the club before the English Football League rejected their application at the start of December because one of the group was subject to a disqualifying condition. Moreno subsequently became the sole bidder and it had been hoped the deal would be completed at some point between Christmas and 1 January.

The only difference between our takeover and the Newcastle one is that Kamil Midhat hasnt been chatting to fans on Watsapp telling them it's a done deal, like he was with the Newcastle fans. Things wouldn't be so bad if we were top half of table, no danger of relegation, waiting on a bit of money for a couple of players to get us up...but we aren't, we are bottom 3, with a very really prospect of relegation, with no permanent manager and desperate for players. After the year we had in 2020 I thought we would start 2021 with stability and a plan, instead on the very last day of a crap year we get the news our players hadnt been paid 2nd year on the trot, it just sums up the situation at the minute.

Or totally not surprised if it doesnt. 1 thing though, if the takeover does collapse, with a chairman no longer willing to put his money in the club, we are in for a rough patch.

"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow" I think it was Brian Clough who said that. To Peter Taylor, late one night in the Midland Hotel over one last whisky before driving home to Quarndon.
