Well... he did ask...
Jessel, is the Peel Arms still in Tamworth?
They haven't said we're on a downward spiral. They've said we need to sell, but most clubs in this division have to sell players.
So if MM's plans were to spend a fortune trying to get promoted, and if he didn't achive that after 3-4 years he'd want all his money back - by any mneans necessary, you'd be happy with that?
Even if it meant selling the ground to the egg chasers and going into administration?
I'm not saying I want a detailed account of everything MM would do, just assurances that he won't leave us in a mess.
Too many people assume MM coming in will guarantee success, but the only time he's done well in this country has been when he's had Redknapp as manager, in his first few seasons at Portsmouth they finished in a worse position than we're in now, and last season they looked like relegation certainties until they got Redknapp back and bought some player's using Gaydamak's money - because MM had no more to spend. If MM can run out of money in the premiership - with all the income that brought him, he could easily do the same thing here.
I thought that back in November the Board recommended to shareholders that we let MM examine the books through DD as this was the best option available (And due to the clause in MM's contract for DD the board are unable to pursue other offers until his deal has either been accepted or refused). This would point to me that they must have had some sort of indication of an offer to put this forward as bid numero uno, above the 'local consortium and the two American investors' that were allegedly chomping at the bit at the same time as MM declared his interest.
Are you sure though that they have not reached this point? I have heard nothing to the contrary since Tuesday that the final bid had not been submitted. If the Trust were to come on and say they had not yet received the final bid document, then fair enough.
As regards to trusting them? I trust Andrew Taylor's judgment, as he has been the one driving force with the attempts to get financial backing. But... They would need to have a fecking amazing back up plan if it didn't go ahead...
Firstly, although we expected the final bid document early this week, it has still not been issued to shareholders.
There was an indicative offer prior to the EGM, however it was very sketchy & the terms of the offer have changed since then.
The value of our players is less than the value of their contracts. :icon_conf :icon_conf
Do you personally think the deal will go ahead?
Have you spoke to MM recently, and if you have does he still seem as keen as he was 2-3 months ago or is he getting frustrated and angry at the whole process? Has he given you any indication?
Got to wonder if the lack of money is the real reason the MM deal seems to have stalled, is he waiting for cash out of Pompey from the Russian guy & without it can't go ahead?
Nothing is certain, we thought it was getting very close a week ago, the latest delay appears to be from the MM end (prior to his Mum's fall), but we are not clear as to why.
Direct contact with MM has only taken place on match days since the takeover panel rules came into play, so can't really give you an answer of his current thinking. At the Fulham home cup game he was keen.

Cock.The only comments from people in the know have indicated that we are in dire financial straights...I refer you to the interview with Big Tim on Radio Leicester (his first after the Mandaric rumoour was confirmed) where he stated that sales would have to take place in order to balance the books.The only comments from people in the Know indicate that we are finacialy stable (not healthy, but stable) for give me if i believe people in the know ahead of over emotional fans.
Proof - Sources - Or is that a response from an emotional bias fan?its also worth noting that the curent board are working to lower the debt, and running costs of the club.
MM would look to increase them
Proof - Sources - Or is that a response from an emotional bias fan?Millions of pounds of debt from an ambitious chairman is hardly profit though is it? and thats only managable while he's here.
its also only temporary.
I doubt we'll get an answer, the FT don't want to jeopardise their position. Its a shame they won't/can't answer the supporters questions.
