Louise Posted 4 November 2006 Share Posted 4 November 2006 Sigh... he said he would welcome it "if the offer was right". You should put that in your sig. But I think shen makes a good point, even if it was just 'if the offer is right', he still wouldn't welcome a rival bid surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester City legend Gary Lineker believes Milan Mandaric's proposed buy-out is "an interesting development" for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookwhaticando Posted 5 November 2006 Share Posted 5 November 2006 Is that a broken record I see before me? Save yourself some typing, Bab - put that sentence in your signature.

Bluefoxtim Posted 5 November 2006 Share Posted 5 November 2006 What p*sses me off is that the club moans to death about lack of funds no money for transfers etc but then as soon as a big bid comes in the board are sheepish about accepting and acting as if they get bids like this all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've received a bid considered it and have agreed to meet with MM. The secrecy surrounding the bid I would suggest emanates from MM, it's his perogative to make the whole thing public not the Board, why has he not done so? Does he have something to hide? Is his bid not all it's made out to be All the Board are doing is attempting to negotiate the best deal for LCFC and the shareholders that is their sole responsibility. As a regular critic of the board I believe all this criticism is unfounded and based on rumour and conjecture a lot of it as a result of the gung ho approach taken by the Mercury and LCFC. What have the board done to put the process at risk? Let's see some facts please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the relevance of the post as a response to mine; what are you implying? what is your source? please provide the evidence? Otherwise you show yourself as being part of the problem by posting unsubstantiated so called facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you that this can take weeks. Certainly if property is involved an environmental survey will have to be done to assess any future liability.

Let's see some facts please? surely if MM believes there are other interested parties then it is not in his favour to reveal his bid details at this stage or the other parties (if indeed they do exist and none have yet come forward) would have an advantage. or he might just be slippery!

lcfc_jme Posted 6 November 2006 Share Posted 6 November 2006 6m wouldn't buy the acamemy front line?????? Are you having a Giraffe? I don't know. We've got a potential mega-star England international at the academy in Chambers and Eric Odihamsandwich scores goals for fun at that level, including many a hat-trick, which if he carried through to senior level would send his valuation through the roof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone came in tomorrow and offered 1m for each the club would snap their hands off, gift wrap them, hand deliver them and chuck in a free Momo Sylla.

They're still kids finding their feet and with careful handling and a slow introduction to the step-up could well produce the goods. We're forgetting here that Chambers did his GCSE's at the same time as me last year, and so he has an awful lot of time on his side. And anyways, this is Thracian's argument to be having , I was just looking to see if I could find reasons for them being valued at more than £6m!! I do however like your free Momo Sylla thing, maybe when we do eventually offload a player for some money we can chuck in a free Sylla with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bald reynard Posted 6 November 2006 Share Posted 6 November 2006 I don't think it has been mentioned that, if the 'alternative bidders' (if there are any !) to MM are COMPANIES (eg Bardon, Wilson Bowden etc), then it's likely that, if successful, we'd have all the same hassle at trying to get money from them for players, as reps getting mileage expenses - ie a bureaucratic nonsense, "have to be justified" etc. At least with one 'money man' / a single (mad !) owner (like Abramovitch, Walker, Hall, Mandaric) a manager only has to convince one man if he wants to buy a player -and, if he agrees (!) - the deal can go through quickly. I'm all for the Mandaric bid - if it's pitched against company or other corporate financial interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
