CrackpotForeigner Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 BBC saying RL has appointed Merrill Lynch to find a buyer. ITK's saying Bank of America is handling an agreed sale. Hmmmm. All a bit confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) BBC saying RL has appointed Merrill Lynch to find a buyer. ITK's saying Bank of America is handling an agreed sale. Hmmmm. All a bit confusing. BOA took over Merrill Lynch - so either is correct [Edit Ah right different between finding + handling] A lot of people have said those involved Bell & Harris are deal closers - not finders. I would like to find out how long ago they were appointed. Edited May 16, 2014 by smetrov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Also RL importantly said BoA/ML were advising on the sale of the club. Not finding a buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-Reacho Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Love how he's covered the announcement of the supposed sacking of PF and PL. "Their departures may not be announced immediately", Why would they stall on something like that? If it's Lambo's payoff the LMA would have to be involved right? Are they having dinner too??

suttonpaul Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 yep, when our new owner goes out of business and they come in and strip our assets how much do you think they'll get for our history? fulham are worth £200m because if they went tits up they'd be a nice chunk of land in the posh bit of london up for grabs You make it sound like their just going to dissolve Fulham FC in a second and flatten the ground, they are worth 200m because of where they are partly but PL clubs are worth a lot now anyway. If a little club like Fulham with an old ground and average facilities are worth 200m then we are easily worth atleast the same. Fulham are a special case I would point you towards Blackburn when they were sold to venkys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suttonpaul Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 £200 million for a team that just escaped being a championship team is a lot, considering whoever comes in will have to plough a fair few million into the team to keep us up next year. From £65 million to £200 million in 8 years, fair? Given the rise of money in football (and especially the Premier League) I think that's fair, and that's without mentioning the off-the-field improvements that have taken place under Lerner. Rising TV money = rising wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 If Lambert was being sacked why would he keep it secret? What benefit is it to Lambert to be out of a job and for it to be a secret? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's literally nothing concrete linking him to buying any football team let alone ours. Bill Gates is almost as likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isa Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Ellison is a dream we fans like to hold on to. There's no indication it is him over others Yes, the entire rumour was founded upon a photoshopped picture. No evidence to suggest he is remotely interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
