Fiddling away in High Court while our Premier League chances burn.

[Bladesman]

And there’s the problem....


Surely we’ve got the promotion munneh from last season already

The cheque bounced.

 

[John Snow]

Anyone make sense of what the Pig is trying to say?

This is the third time in as many weeks you've called three different posters pigs.
I note youre quite old. I thought with age came wisdom.
Clearly there are exceptions.

Have a look at this posters previous posts, then get back to me and say he is not a Pig.

Deal?

Thank you for taking an interest in me Fred.

What I said was factually correct! Mccabe wants to sell us after we've been promoted to the Premier League..... people who buy football clubs buy them to get to the Premier League to maximize profit!

What they don't do is buy clubs who have won promotion and are likely to be relegated especially while there is a massive court case hanging over our heads.

Why would you spend 5x more on a team already promoted when you can buy a championship team and take them up, this is the reason Hull never got sold and got relegated.

Kevin McCabe has been wanting to sell us for a considerable number of years,not since we gained promotion to the Premier League.


Your Chairman bought a Championship team and failed to take them up, despite squandering millions and millions in attempting to do what we did, for a lot less money.

You make it sound so simple...

No, it’s because the asking price was too high. Same as Newcastle.

 

[South Bucks]

So there it is, 140 million on the table but they'd rather argue than settle and both make a bob or two.
Can't help thinking the longer this drags on the more it hurts our chances in the Prem.
We also know from the court proceedings CW had almost nowt in some previous transfer windows, but as usual says he's happy, he has to say that in his position, no manager would say anything else.

What WAS the asking price?

 

[Mario1889]

Alan Nixon seems to be hinting that the court case is starting to cause a few problems with bidding for new players today.

In essence what the o.p. says. Agree.

Who is Alan Nixon?

Not hard to believe or assume. Lots on here seem to think it will have little or no impact on the team affairs, I for one disagree and competing agents and clubs will use our discord as leverage and FUD to win players over.
This club has been a story of recovery from adversity to success on the pitch on two occasions in the last decade or so. McCabes lack of disposable wealth and stomach to gamble for the rewards he craves cost us last time and he appears to be going for it again.

Gledhill asking McCabe to confirm he doesn’t want to continue running the club if he wins the case. McCabe agrees that he wants to pass on the baton if he finds the right partner

WTF, partner? He’s not thinking of hanging on again is he? Cake an eat it springs to mind, that’s why we are foooooooked now

You're about two weeks late with this revalation.

Well that’s about a 3 week improvement on my usual uptake!

 

[Rodders]

So what’s the court case about?

Wrestling with Pigs

Tevez?

It's a valid point though. I did point it out at the time but it seems to have passed a lot of people by.

I get my feckin updates on The Crab news App.

Bit upsetting, apparently Germans are massing on Poland’s border.

 

[The Bohemian]

A shortish summary of the court case, to date:

Abdullah’s argument
McCabe is stubborn and interferes too much in the running of the club
McCabe thinks it’s important for owners to attend games

McCabe’s case
Abdullah is potless
Abdullah tried to weasel his way round buying property assets from McCabe (because he’s dodgy and potless)
Abdullah obtained money ‘the Chartwell loan’ through what looked like a bribe
Abdullah used his representatives to agitate conflict in order to force McCabe out
Abdullah isn’t that bothered about The Blades and attends very few games



Could go either way.

Bit like Brexit then

Alan Nixon also chats alot of shite.

I can’t remember. There’s a limit to the amount of pointless trivia I can retain.

I think it will go the Princes way because there is a legally binding agreement and despite McCabe trying to muddy the waters I think he’ll have to abide by it. Think he’s fooked , he is paying for not paying due diligence when he invited the Prince into the club.

I think so too. I just hope whoever wins sells up and fucks off pronto.

Incredibly biased interpretation of facts because people get there knickers in a twist when there version of reality is threatened? Absolutely.

HRH says he was worth £200m at the time the deal was agreed. If that's true the "no due diligence" argument goes out of the window.

Have you dropped your "club is paying McCabes legal fees" and pays management charges to McCabes companies claims yet?
