MackworthRamIsGod Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) Good on Mike Ashley. Even if he doesn't take over, even if we are liquidated, would be great if someone stuck it to Q and they were struck off.

Kinder Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 This really is shocking. What’s Ashley’s tactic though? Is it going to help him get the club? As crap as Q are, it’s surely going to cause a massive delay if we have to appoint new administrators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBB Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) Ashley has gone public with the basic argument of "I have been duxked about by the admins" it will certainly make it hard for them to turn down any other public bids he may make as it then looks like thhry have an agenda against him. Clever move in my opinion. Edited June 16, 2022 by KBB Sp Derby4Me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenBr Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 If Applebys bid is over £40 million then surely it is close to the amount both Mel and the administrators require? Can't wait to hear from the administrators in their usual timely manner. And Ashley still hasn't submitted another bid for us...

Clever move in my opinion. He’s still got to bid £40m+ though if Percy’s right about Appleby’s bid. You would imagine that’s the leading bid, interesting 3 other parties have put bids in, including Morgan. Confirms that lots of talks have been going on and progress being made. Everyone knows the timelines. With the bids on the table there is surely enough to make something for creditors and the stadium to save the club even if we do incur -15.

Gritstone Ram Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Is the £40m include everything? Even the 25p in the pound they owe @Davidthe Kirchner was going to pay 35p over 3 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley had no luck with his media inspired attack on the administrators now resorting to the courts. Just shows how desperate he is to get his hands on the ground, how does MA know whether there is no justification paying rent for the stadium but is still to table a bid, that says it all, give in and accept my price or i will make a takeover as hard as possible. angieram, FlyBritishMidland, Crewton and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
