TOMA 3 (!) This summer???

[Twiggster]

Reuters link, so serious

FFS - is there no end to our anxiety?

[LUFCRACE]

Jeez not again!

[Twiggster]

Not again, or not again Anna? Stop double posting! :mrgreen:

[LUFCRACE]

Not again, or not again Anna? Stop double posting! :mrgreen:

I don't do it on purpose!

[MeeTa]

Dreading this tbh, if GFH wants out then fair enough but with our luck this will start just before the summer and when the transfer deadline is out the new takeover will be completed, and were stuck status quo or worse another year.

[Twiggster]

GFH stated that they were "in this for the long haul" and did not plan to "Flip" us...

They will probs sell back to Bates and everyone makes a profit - except our club...

[Emsley]

Two car dealers in the area both selling the exact same model.
Would you rather buy of bent bob, or honest harry.

[gessa]

So they paid £22 Million , not the reported figures.

And want to make £7 Million on the deal when they sell

Anyone got £29 Million spare?

Hopefully who ever buys us have more than 29 million

[gessa]

True

f**k me, you just dont know where you stand with the owners.
Still from what my limited mental capacity can figure out, we are in a better position to sell than we were under that old beetle. I'm more confident of a better quality of buyer coming in, as old large Y fronts was the type of bloke you wouldn't want to deal with.
GFH got rid of the leech, admittedly they are a form of leech them selfs but no where near as bad as old pissy pants.

[Twiggster]

They will sell us back to Bates. Everyone wins, except LUFC.

Can't see it twiggs.
Bates would though, but I actually think GFH have some compassion.

[gessa]

Can't see it twiggs.

Can't see it either, why sell something and then buy it back at an extra cost.
He sold because he ran out of money for the club , striped the club of its assets,( the best players,) and couldn't find people to invest, can't see how anything has changed.Plus If it was to happen the fans would disappear faster than Shergar that would be after the riots.

Business men and mathematicians could easily give you a reason why this could work buddy.

I wish you would stop posting crap like that. It is not Toma 3, it is the continuation of Toma 2. These accounts were published four weeks ago, and don't contain anything that we don't already know. I would think that negotiations have recommenced, now that we know which division we will be playing in next season.

Although this part still gives me a warm glow - "The bargain purchase was due to pressure on the sellers to exit their holdings due to change in their business plans." Bates was in Sh!t Street, and he ain't coming back.

Exactly this. The take over stank with the delay and Bates staying on for the short term.
Bet a pound to a penny, this is some kind of scam to make money for both parties - at the expense of our club. AGAIN.

No it isn't. Toma 2 was Pearson and whoever. Do keep up

Yes the report was published on 21st Feb, but has now been publicised (and confirmed as fact by GFH) in the media.
Whatever - it does not smell good for our club.

[drsdadsotherson]

Well whatever happens GFHC have added value to the club simply by ousting Bates and tidying up the near-impenetrable tangle of ownership and finance that he created.

If they flip, they flip. We just have to hope against hope that they flip us in a good direction.
