smetrov Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Does anybody still honestly believe we will be sold this summer? Sensibly Lerner must know if he stays he will own a championship club inside the next 2 years - so if he gets a reasonable offer - I think he would flexible on price. But thats how I see it, - Lerner thought Houllier, Mcleish were decent managers for us - so who knows what goes on in his mind. Pretty sure we will start the season with Lerner in charge - if we flounder towards the bottom, then no buyer will come near us until we have secured of premier league status for another season. My thoughts are that if we haven't been taken over by October - it will be summer 2015 before anyone makes a move. The longer it drags on - the longer I think it will be a uk based consortium...

Popular Post NurembergVillan Posted June 17, 2014 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2014 Anyone heard the latest rumour? A few people on Twitter reckon it might be Monty Brewster. He's another American guy with a history of owning sports teams, and apparently he spends money like it's going out of fashion. Not sure how good he'd be with football but it sounds like he's a popular guy. He's dabbled with politics too so he's probably well connected. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent_Bob Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 55% - 45% voting on a 4 man board. Sure... Do they not vote on behalf of the shares they are representing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 55% - 45% voting on a 4 man board. Sure... Do they not vote on behalf of the shares they are representing? They would if they were voting at a shareholders meeting but at a board meeting it is (usually) 1 vote per member of the board (but it would depend on what the Articles of Association say). In any event, Randy could just call a shareholders meeting and just pass everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Does anybody still honestly believe we will be sold this summer? I think so, Even if I didn't hear of Al-Baltan thing, I know that the club doesn't announce thing unless they're sure about. I think it's just finalizing papers and finishing everything, I'm not sure how long it takes exactly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 10/10 in this thread Abdul. Doing it the right way, not claiming anything to be more than info you've heard and not making a song and dance about it. That's the way it should be done sir. Much appreciated Thanks, Something which I haven't seen by my eyes, not finalized yet, not knowing more details or having more details which I couldn't say won't make me encourage to claim anything.

abdulaziz1 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I was thinking of talking little bit about Al-Shabab club from what I know (because my team which I support have relegated the season before the last). Anyway, Al-Shabab is one of the most successful team here in Saudi, yet it lacks fans. I'd say more than 80-90% of the fans are between (Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad, Al-Nassr and Al-Ahli). I think Al-Shabab fans won't be more than 1-2%. Yet they're the third successful team in the last couple of years, And they've began collecting trophies since the ninetees I think. Anyway, those days they were collecting trophies they've been something like Arsenal or Spurs, strong team but they're forced to sell their best players. When Khaled Al-Baltan came, They've started collecting more trophies (Like their old days) but without selling player, They started also buying from the top teams. Until maybe last year when he was thinking of leaving I think he hasn't signed some new deals with player, Yet he got couple of signings too. He likes challenging, and he's confident and like to success. I'm not sure if he's coming here for a challenge or business in the first place. But might be combined together. Sometimes I fear because he doesn't have the experienced out there and I'm not sure about his money, The other time I feel he won't take a step to fail. Anyway we have nothing but to wait and see how things will go exactly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Thanks for even more insight Abdul, I actually think if Al-Baltan comes through it could be exciting times ahead. Prepared for a big let down though, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say you're unsure about his money, do you mean his financial power to fully back us and push us on? I don't know who are his partners until now, I'm trying to figure out. I think he's going to have about 48% from what I've heard. I'm not sure how many partner nor who're they. And about the money, most businessmen here have an unknown wealth. Usually more than what it's said. That's why I'm unsure about it. He's for sure not super rich. I'm sure doesn't he have more than let's say 5billion pounds. I think he isn't far from Lerner (By himself). But all of that is just my thinking. He spend 500 million Riyals for Al-Shabab from the reports. Which is about 80m. And they don't get benefits from it here. So throwing this amount of money suggest that you're wealth. but it's a case of how much exactly? Which I couldn't know. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
