Latest Takeover Rumour. The Moores / Noell one

[SerenityNigh]

The assumption is the funding is in place

Have never been involved in a takeover/acquisition without knowing the funding is there, ready to go Big advantage as a purchaser to say "funding in place, we can close now"

Would be terribly ironic, however, if we learn that Moores/Noell had "ring-fenced" the money (not a US idiom) but somehow couldn't pull off the deal...

Would be interesting to know the revenue generated on a website like this during the transfer windows and when it 'slams' shut. Maybe Toffeeweb are needing to keep the clicks coming...

If there is another investor involved in this consortium as well as Moores and Noell it would make sense as our 3 biggest shareholders are BK,RE and JW

Who knows mate ?
Moores and Noelle are going to be mighty p'd off if Earl, Kenwright and Woods have been stringing them along though.

Especially as the Journalist from the Times has stated that they've spent a small fortune already on lawyers fees etc!

The fact they've spent this money already, they surely must have had a rough idea of the costs in buying the club and been confident of completing the purchase?

Money raised from the future IPO on the Dow Jones will provide finance

Well you'd imagine, they would meet bill an co, talk about the club ask around how much you want(200m)then say can we go in to DD, then come back with an offer(170mil) an they go from there

*price mentioned are made up to use as an example

It's a sunk cost. If the deal isn't right they'll walk away regardless.

There is other investors if the original Times article was accurate. It said moores and noell were heading a consortium which had investors on both sides of the pond

...initially there was thought to be some Irish involvement with their group, if that's the case, excellent, because the people they were referencing are affiliated to the group via horse racing connections and are very 'moneyed'. Sadly I think it was a case of journos putting two and two together and coming up with 9 and a big bag of tits....it's a wait and see now innit...

The reply in question was attached in the bowels of an existing thread, and TW didn't highlight it - only if you were following that thread would you have seen it.

TBH TW has a lot of "lurkers" who don't need to sign up to view anything - I think GOT does require it for most of the content, so I imagine, especially given they already carry ads and have been around for a long time (with several awards), they're not struggling for page views.

It is depressingly negative though at times, and a lot of longer-standing posters have simply given up. Or maybe once they've said their piece they don't re-iterate it countless times - again, a popular refrain of some TW regulars.

Every single player that team is a mercenary with the exception of Ross, Osman and Hibbert. This is what football is and you're going to have to come to terms with it. With that in mind, it makes sense to have the best mercenaries available.

Reckon Sylvester Stallone and his expendables fancy a challenge ?
