Is he still looking for buyers?

Is he still looking for buyers?

First offer that would give him all his cash back that he's spent over the last 20 years, he'd take.

Unfortunately, it's never going to happen.

That only shows that he would sell, not that he is actively looking for a buyer.

In the time that McCabe has been touting around for buyers....

4 in 5 of all professional clubs in England have been bought.

And 5 out of 8 of all league football clubs will be beneath the Blades at the end of this football season.

And 5 out of 8 of all league football clubs will be beneath the Blades at the end of this football season.

Additionally around 70 clubs have won something since we last did.

 

[LJBlade]

Yet still people laud him

Firstly, is he still looking for buyers?

Secondly, would you be happy for him to just sell up to anyone?

 

[LJBlade]

Additionally around 70 clubs have won something since we last did.

We won the league last year

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

We won the league last year

Ok I'll accept a third tier title for an historic top 20 team is something of an achievement.

Firstly, is he still looking for buyers?

Secondly, would you be happy for him to just sell up to anyone?

Yes and probably yes. Fan power will always win.

Hull Tigers turned out well didnt it.....

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Did you know:

A bull isn't driven mad by the colour red. It will see it as a shade of grey and when a matador taunts with a red cape, it's the taunting and waving that causes the charge.

 

[LJBlade]

Yes and probably yes. Fan power will always win.

Hull Tigers turned out well didnt it.....

How do you know he's still looking for buyers?

Fan power will always win? It seems to be doing a very good job at Coventry. I'm sure you'd be happy if SISU rocked up at United and McCabe decided to sell to them?

But for every Coventry there’s a Wolves. For every Hull a Villa. Of course you get a dodgy lot but they’re not the norm

But you said that you’d be happy for us to be sold to anyone. My point was that maybe McCabe has been trying to find us the right person.

Edit: and are Villa really considered a good example?

Yes.
Try again, harder this time.

Must remember not to taunt and wave at the Lane then.

McCabe is still looking for buyers.

Looking for Briers?

I think the Good Life, Richard Briers and the lovely Felicity Kendall is still on Gold

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Another fun fact about McCabe's reign.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm nope can't think of one.

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

One I’ve seen this afternoon is a list of previous years losses and then saying “who is covering these losses....?” followed by praise for our great leader

Tell ya summat, if I was in charge of a company that had accumulated losses of £55m in 8 years (as the example has given), I’d question my sanity as to why the fuck I’m still there!! I’d want out regardless. “This bloke here says he can do a bit with the club, but he’s got odd socks on so I don’t trust him. Best stick around for another loss of £6m”

He must love this club a whole lot more than we do to commit to those kind of losses and carry on.

And you’d be happy for him to just sell up to absolutely anybody, you’ve said so before

and Grimsby

You’re like a dog with a bone with this one aren’t you?

Here’s my answer.

He wants to sell. If he finds a buyer on his terms (he won’t sell for fuck all will he??) that buyer will want to get a return. The only return is the Premier League.

So sell to someone who is willing to buy.

If that is ‘anyone’ then so be it (it’s not going to be the head of ISIS or Donald Trump is it let’s be reyt. It’s gonna be a bloke with some money. I don’t expect some Pablo Escobar wannabe turning up either. Your idea of ‘absolutely anyone’ seems to be based on crooks and crooks alone).

That itch your scratch?

I’m like a dog with a bone? It was you that brought it up again. Just because I’m asking questions you don’t like there’s no need to get funny.

You’ve said he’s looking to sell, you’ve also suggested that there’s plenty of people out there willing to buy. My suggestion is that he hasn’t sold to one of these people because he doesn’t trust them.

I’m sure SISI and the Venky’s would love to get to the Premiership, they aren’t doing a good job of it.

As you’ve pointed out, plenty of clubs have been bought. If McCabe really wants to sell and the people out there aren’t crooks, why hasn’t he sold us yet?

He hasn’t sold us Because he wants to sell on his terms. If I was to buy the club I’d want to do it without him telling me what he wants me to do with it.

 

[Hamburg Blade]

Did you know:

There are no bridges over the Amazon river.

That's more like it. No, I didn't.

Since you mention bridges, did you know Hamburg has more bridges than any city in Europe, possibly the world? More than Venice, Amsterdam and London combined?

 

[LJBlade]

He hasn’t sold us Because he wants to sell on his terms. If I was to buy the club I’d want to do it without him telling me what he wants me to do with it.

How do you know he’s telling potential buyers how they should run the club?

This whole ‘McCabe can’t find a buyer’ argument ignores the fact that he has already sold half of the club.

Incidentally would you happy for the Prince to buy the club outright or does he not meet your ‘sell to anyone’ criteria?
