Not sure I'm remotely worried about the Binnies dropping out. I'm more worried of Ashley low balling the bid so much we end up on minus 15. I'll struggle to support any new owner who believes this is a better option than paying the minimum amount needed. This. If a billionaire buisnessman is happy for us to start on minus 15 points next season for the sake of an extra 5 or 10 million pounds I think it would be a poor decision. They will instantly devalue the last remaining asset (the goodwill). Keep us afloat and give us a fighting chance next season, regardless of what division we are in, and the fans will be forever grateful.

Unfortunatley I don't think Ashley would care if he has the fans support or not, if he sees a financial benefit to it jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their statements will always be positive until the end. If they ever release a negative statement it will just be the final one. We can only hope that day doesn't come.

Why would a Billionaire want to buy a club who are on their knees, Ashley surely doesn't need the cash, But then he keeps buying failed businesses, Is it that he has to prove he can raise the Titanic everytime he buys a business? It's not that he has to pop round to next door to borrow a cup of sugar, Buying and accepting a -15 points imo would have support/non support by our fans, Support for saving the club, Non support for having to struggle yet again for another season. It would be any PBs objective to get to the Premier League as that's where the loot is, But, Look at Chelsea...could fold, Everton over spend by £255million, Sothampton and Leicester borrow money against the following ST sales, Burnley bought Burnley ie the owner borrowed the money, Man Untd owe circa £850million...football is eating itself alive. I personly don't see the attraction of the Premier League anymore but hey that's just me. strawhillram, derbydaz22, LERam and 6 others 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say that but Wigan were warned several times and their fans raised money to keep the club afloat. there has not been any indication from quantuma that things were anywhere near the stage that we might need to have a whip round amongst the fans to keep the club from going under. £30 million including the stadium seems a pitifully low offer from binnies and if no one is seriously prepared to pay any more than That then I am sure the fans .. particularly the wealthy ones could raise that sum between them. It’s only about £1,000 per fan who went to the Birmingham and Peterborough games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24Charlie Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 This idea that taking -15 and starting again doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. We assume we’ll be relegated and starting with virtually a new squad. There is no guarantee that we will not be relegated from div 1. Look where we are now. We have been given the task of making up 15 points on Reading and up to now we have managed 10. Willingly taking this option to get the team at a knock down price would mean probably a loss of revenue for the extra time in the doldrums that would far outweigh the benefits of getting us cheap. jono, May Contain Nuts and RadioactiveWaste 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimtastic56 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Wayne has said he is worried about the situation. I’m sure if he was to invest some of his £170 mill fortune in DCFC , others would follow. Then perhaps fans could have say a 25% stake in the club.Put in whatever you can afford.
