Thing is, for a fraction of what he was bidding for United he could buy us, wipe out our debts and finish the stadium. And then a debt-free PL club with a brand new world class stadium would be the perfect canvas to emulate what the Saudis have done with Newcastle in a short space of time. We have our problems, but like Newcastle, they can all be solved with money.

There's obviously more prestige in owning United but if he wants a route into the PL you could argue the business case for buying us.

I dont disagree, but the one thing whoever ends up owing us will have to address/live with, is the losses/FFP situation. Newcastle could spend cos Ashley turned a profit year on year. Once the off field economies kick in, a different picture emerges.

We have substantialy rehabilitated our finances and the P&S rules work on a 3 year cycle
Don't get me wrong , I'm not saying we can spend half a billion but we defonhave wriggle room next season

This is true, although the last few years of necessary belt tightening and wage reduction do make for an improving picture on that front. And as the likes of City and Newcastle show where there's a will to get revenue into a club to help FFP they'll find a way, especially through the Qatar Airways Arena.

Both good points.

NO CHANCE IN HELL.

Probably just me letting my head run away with it's self. Is this just coincidence that Chairman Bill made his announcement only a few day's ago. If this happens he comes out like a Knight in shining armour on his white horse as the man who saved us? Just wishful thinking

This isnt true.

The wage bill has indeed been lowered, but so has our income and our loan repayments are quite large.

Scrap this, Sheikh Jassim is our saviour

Two problems easily solved by a megarich oil state owner though - replenish the lost USM income (and more) with similar sponsorship deals from related companies, and end the loan repayments by paying off the debt.

Indeed, we are currently a loss making business tho.

But if somebody was to pay the debts off, we wouldnt be.

The debts are what are currently hamstringing us.

It's Saturday night, let's dream a little.

A new rich owner and a beautiful stadium on the river

I can just see the Qatari buying us, then Qatar finally gets sanctioned for harbouring the leader of Hamas and we're back to how we are under Usmanov, it's the Everton way

 

[Osamabindiesel]

They cant buy us, we have an exclusivity agreement with The Cowboys.

You had to piss in my chips

I'd take the chance over these clowns
