McCabe wants to sell Blades

[Mouth of the South]

Hasn't McCabe been trying to sell the club for the last 10 years? Unless he's managed to sign a deal with HRH that means he'll lose it for very little (~GBP 5 mln), he hasn't wasted any time in putting the For Sale signs out following the promotion has he?

 

[Bill puntin]

Based on what ?

Based on the likes of the wraggs for starters who never put a penny peice into the club.
The only other one that had a go was Hasall but he soon gave up.

No apologies if already been posted. I stopped reading after the thread title.

As you were chaps.

Didn't somebody mention about mccabe having Chinese investors lined up a couple of months ago?

 

[Topplayersleave]

Somebody lined up here if McCabe wins the court case.
Funnily enough there might be somebody lined up if Princey wins the court case as well

Yes was about to post the same, not sure if chinese was specified but definitely that McCabe had someone waiting in the wings should he win the court case, which he seems confident of doing. And with all of the investment and population growth in Sheffield at the moment, a chinese owner would seem very logical.

James Shield [yeah I know but bear with me] wrote t'other day that now we had a PL windfall, it was far more likely that Kev and the Prince would settle out of court. The Prince walks away with a wedge, and Kev gets to sell for a hefty profit. The Prince always said he dreamt of owning a PL team, now that he owns half one I think it would take some serious wonga to make him walk, unless he knows his chances of losing the case are high and he risks losing the lot.

Interesting times indeed!

Or he could be bull shitting, he has lied to us in the past once or twice.

No one has ever lied on here about McCabe.

 

[PaulHalfway]

If Kev wants out, he is 71, this is the best chance he will ever have to find a buyer
Will be an interesting few months

I’m concerned tbh about the idea of McCabe winning the case and immediately selling sole ownership to an “international owner” we know absolutely nothing about. PA hasn’t been particularly visible/vocal this since, but McCabe hasn’t either in fairness. And while I think there are genuine concerns about PA, I think these are overall less than getting someone in that is unfamiliar with the club, hasn’t crucially experienced this club pre-Wilder (so if times get tough next season will be less aware of how good a job Wilder’s done taking us so rapidly from that situation in League 1), and will be more likely to want to reshape the structure at the club. People were horrified by the idea of bringing a DoF in, but realistically the role exists in some form at most PL clubs, and it’s likely a new owner would want something similar.

If we have two co-owners, one of whom is now on record as desperate to get out, one of whom hasn’t shown any indication they’re desperate to get out, why is everyone wanting the former to win this case and immediately sell on to someone we’ve no idea about?

Go on then, which incredibly rich potential owner WOULD you (or we for that matter) have an idea about?

 

[Chali 2na]

No mention of a merger with Wednesday?

I'll trump that by adding "uneducated" at the beginning.

Sofa in Brussels?

It's almost like we've been here before eh lads?

 

[Harrisblade]

What positions do they play ?

Probably quite a few more than I could cope with

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Is it possible that the person “lined up” has already agreed to buy out whomever wins the court case, and the case might simply determine how much this person pays both current owners?

 

[Jolly Buffer]

It's Chansiri !!

That's why he did that congratulations statement earlier. Hes jumping ship at the sty.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Go on then, which incredibly rich potential owner WOULD you (or we for that matter) have an idea about?

Virtually none. But the suggestion that they would somehow interfere less with Wilder, or that it would be “better for Wilder” if anyone other PA is in control, doesn’t feel as though it’s based on anything other than blind optimism.

Or that the emergence of a potential buyer leads to an out-of-court settlement?

 

[BladeInIreland]

He’s had Chinese investors lined up for the last 10 years.

 

[Harry's Game]

Buyer lined up?

 

[nopigfansintown]

Has Kev gone for a Chinese? Maybe at a former sponsors place. That was a rumour a year or so back. Interesting times.

 

[Pinchy]

You really don’t see the irony in that statement?

I do indeed but what are we to do? Have a select committee of Bladey Blades carry out due diligence?

 

[Jonboy60]

What positions do they play ?

They slot into the hole.

Not these then?

I immediately feel a lot better. Thanks

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Buyer lined up?

Ahhhh, I’d wondered what had happened to him. Investor nostalgia.

 

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

Here's hoping any potential new owner respects and 'gets' what Wilder/Knill/Mitchell have carefully built at Bramall Lane and doesn't try mess with the formula.

 

[Snowman]

If that was the case McCabe would’ve said so

Eh? Why?

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Didn't somebody mention about mccabe having Chinese investors lined up a couple of months ago?

Yes but the bloke bought “Candytown” Chinese restaurant on London Road now so that opportunity has gone!

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Well I had wondered if there might be some role we could find for Bassett and Morgan at the club. This sounds perfect.

He wants your bank account details so he can send you your $4m lottery win

And that’s my big concern tbh. New owners often want to tear up the script and impose their own ideas on a club. Whatever happens, whoever owns us in the future, I hope they recognise that we have a winning formula going on down there and don’t change it for changes sake.
