Barclays Capital Appointed to Find a Purchaser for the Club

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

They've been looking to sell it for some time if they get an unrealistic amount of money. What's changed?

 

That they are looking to sell the entire football club, both out of necessity and out of desire to leave.

Again, what's new?

[Pidge]

the fact that the situation is developing shows that there are at least efforts ongoing, which is a positive. But it's a small positive swamped among some pretty big negatives at the moment.

[Chinandeler Bong]

Nothing on SSN about this.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Again, what's new?

 

Again, that they are looking to sell the entire football club, not a minority share. Not just because they are being forced to, either.

[Horus]

Let's just say, that if someone employed me to sell Chelsea, I wouldn't do too god a job. I'd get them sold, but I wouldn't pick anyone that would add to our worries.

They've always been ready to sell the entire club for the right price. We're just going round in circles now though.

One of them was willing to sell his entire stake, the other wanted to sell a minority and hold on until the stadium was built and make a much bigger profit.

[Brownie]

Hopefully we'll see something concrete and soon.

 

It would be great if RBS demanded repayment of the loan and the two cunts had no choice but to sell for a reasonable price. Maybe then we'd have a chance of getting some responsible owners in.

[The Party Boy]

With all the money we have paid to consultants we could have paid for the new stadium.

 

Yep how many banks/advisors have had their fingers in our pie now. I'd be pissing myself if this was Everton pulling these stunts.

What makes you so sure mate ?

How many times have we been here like ?

[zigackly]

And I bet he still does Numero. It's just that no-one wants to play that game.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

It's actually embarrassing. I despise what this football club has become. I hate everything about us.

[Jarvinja Ilnow]

 

fatfuka!

Have they? That's news to me to be fair, I'm aware they've looked for people to come in and basically give them cash for not much in return, but was always under the impression they were pretty much imovable, with Hicks especially determined to dig in.

 

I'm allowing myself to feel a little nugget of optimism here, I deserve it.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I think that, as a fan base, we've become so pessimistic because of their antics that it has become hard for us to see good news. This is good news.

Fair enough, I'm completely drained of optimism.

 

They would have sold to DIC if they'd offered a billion a year after buying the club though, if we are to believe the same press we're believing now.

 

The price has come down, but they'll never find someone willing to pay £600 million either. This will play out until they have no other choice than to accept a fair value.

Cant find much about this - the page from the original link has disappeared

Just a message saying..."The investment you are looking for does not exist".

:D

 

Quality.

How do you know?

[BolshieBastard]

Nothing to see here. This is what the 3rd or 4th company we have approached to find the owners someone to invest a minority?

 

On a completely different subject, did SoS have anything planned for our next game?

 

Got it in one. Dunno why people seem to be excited by this news. Those two could appoint the guvenor of the bank of england but if they hold out for the amount of money they want, they wont sell the club.

 

Let me say that again, if they want too much money for the club, there will be no buyers.

[JimmyConway]

They can search for investment all they want but nobody will buy at the price these cunts want.

I'd love to go all "law abiding citizen" on these 2 rotten,greedy whores.

Let's just say, that if someone employed me to sell Chelsea, I wouldn't do too god a job. I'd get them sold, but I wouldn't pick anyone that would add to our worries.

 

but then that wouldn't look good on your cv when you next went for a top job.but if on your cv it had that you had sold chelsea to one of the richest men in the world,all kinds a doors would open for you.maybe even the chance of selling liverpool to THE richest man in the world,who might even keep you on as liverpool chairman.

[zigackly]

Wonder how BA looks on his CV. We're scraping the barrel a bit in terms of accomplished chairmen with great reputations.
