Takeover

[bobby]

dont trust any of the scheisters..
they are all after our money..
bernie flavio tony gianni lakshmi vine poundshop jude the cat smudge
one big scam from the outset..
i have moved all my savings offshore..
before the swindlers embezzle it..

[IsleworthRanger]

Has it been confirmed as a fact somewhere that any potential deal has now collapsed?

[LoveRs]

All a ploy to spur the Mittals into making a move. T & C want out big time & they have no mugs to meet their pathetic price so have roped in a pal from F1 to turn the screw.

sounds about right

Could it be that TF was never interested and he was in fact in Italy with FB to complete a sponsorship deal for the coming season... and the papers have put 2 and 2 together... and well come up with 5?

I am not saying i dont believe there is a takeover brewing but maybe not with TF..... wasnt there a Russian guy linked... his name escapes me... Morshadov?

As much as people want to believe they saved us, they need to understand they have ****ed us at the same time.

No takeover, no Routledge, probably no DJ and Puncheon and Judy...

Absolutley brilliant!

I think you'll find youre totally wrong here mate.

IF any truth in this then Im all for it... some serious money behind him !

[robloft]

smacks of that geezer at Man U years ago, think his name was Knighton.

Just what I was thinking, talked the talk but didn't walk the walk !

I bet there is or has been 4 interested parties. Depends on your interpretation of 'interested' ?
Mittals
Fernandes
Ruski Mordashov
Flabio/Bernie
USA syndicate
Dubai/Middle East syndicate
You & Me, yep WE are an 'interested' party.

Of course it also depends on whether you believe what Bernie is saying from one day to another - it wasn't long ago, he was stating regards Mittals comments that they are irrelevant as "the club is NOT for sale". Now it is again.

The thing that confused me about Martinez was I couldn't work out who's shares was he buying to gain 51% ?
If Mittals that only 33%
If Bernies what about the other 11/12% ?

Fernandes? He was buying Bernies. Mittals kept their 33%, 51% to Fernandes an Bernie left with 16%. My guess (and is only a guess) is that he is just using Fernandes as a frontman.

I thought Bernie had 62 or 63% not 67.
You could be right about using him as a front man.

Equally, the earlier poster regards him being part of new Sponsorship deal makes much sense and would explain why he met with Warnock and discussed funding.

Maybe mate, i dont realy knowtbh, only thing Ive read (other than people on here) is that Evening Standard article which is where those figures come from. But we all know papers arent exactly renowned for their accuracy these days!

[Loneranger80]

still not an update on this from the offy.... no shock i know but still... season starts in 9 days... and still no news of a sponsor also??...

Think thats spot on tbh Ric. Although I can see it backfiring on them and the Mittals getting fed up and selling their shares are pissing off.
