Markspark92 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Maybe Abdullas pissed off with Corney for not paying the staff and pulled out of the deal ? If that’s the case Simon well done you youve managed to fuck it up once again ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll remember the, "damned if they, damned if they don't," thing the next time you say something pissy about the Trust. It works both ways. For example, I knew wages hadn't been paid, you said it was bullshit, but if I had posted about it you'd have said I was spreading rumours with an agenda. You need to find a balance. I said it was bullshit? This would be a great comeback if it wasn’t based on a lie. I didn’t say that. I actually said “why is anyone surprised, we are skint”. Thereby confirming I didn’t think it was bullsit, but actually thought it was very likely. Yes, I think the Trust is sometimes inept and polarised. I also think Corney is sometimes inept. However, I don’t think either is malicious and that is where we differ You need to find a balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s the case Simon well done you youve managed to fuck it up once again ! If the so-called investor is serious about buying a football club, then I cannot see that being the case. If he is investing, maybe it would be a stumbling block. Let's not forget, Corney is a successful businessman, he is not going to "fuck it up" as easily as many think he is capable of.

Looks like a broke bum with huge gambling debts on a hiding to nothing trying to sell a football club whilst retain some power in the only business he has any influence in. Either that or he's really successful with loads of cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiler13 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Isn't this Companies Check only for the UK. I am sure that you don't have to register a company at Companies House if you are a director of a Company in America or China. Also any good business man would have assets registered in off shore accounts that are not accessible to HMR scrutiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Me thinks some on here are a little confused. We know our club is for sale "to the right person". There have been rumours of potential buyers and said buyers being put off by the asking price. After time a new scenario of getting someone to make an investment into the club that is not a takeover was mooted. The August disclosure of the current "whatever it is" was made by SC in his video statement. Since then we have seen a lot of things happening. We can all as a result of what we have seen and heard speculate and that I thought is what this message board is for amongst other things. To agree to buy something can take just a handshake. I am aware of a multinational group of companies agreeing to buy a significant slice of another multinational group in this way. It took months to sort it all out but the sale and the price was agreed quickly. I have worked on the regulatory aspects of 100s of company/group takeovers/investments and examined the accounts and documentation for many more transactions of this nature post event. These transactions can take months, weeks or days it just depends on both parties being willing, organised and having made all the necessary preparations. Now given my experience with the statement and what has followed I am in no doubt that it is reasonable to speculate that either the buyer is not in a hurry or that regulatory issues could be holding up the deal. Of course it could be something else because I am just speculating. We might never know why it is taking so long but then again we might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it's the FA and EFL who could be holding things up, they have made some debatable decisions in the past and may be treading carefully now.

Or that a "buyer" with a lot of players in his agency has found a weak and vulnerable man to take advantage of and has seen a shop window to put his players in.
