If we believe what our chalming chairman has said this afternoon at the press conference, no offers have been made and negotiations haven't taken place yet. So the likely hood of parties (ie Khalifa) walking away from the negotiating table, as claimed by our portly editor and his sources, would appear untrue.
Thoughts?
Yeh just one, you're very naive. Did he deny Abu Dhabi when asked today? Nope.
Broughton said: "I read all too frequently numbers being floated about in the media, normally associated with Tom Hicks's name. I would like to make it clear there is no number. There is no base line."
Broughton has clearly forgotten that in May co-owner Tom Hicks said in a live interview on Sky Sports News (we have a copy if needed for reference) that he valued the club at between £600m & £800m. Two numbers that he "floated" from his own mouth.
But Dunc, if the owners are locked out, isnt`t this just Hicks trying to talk the price up? A desperate attempt from a desperate man that really is powerless?
Its exactly that.
Why would multi-biollionaire business men, massively successful, listen to a desperate owner spouting a dreamy value on the club.
They wouldn't, they'd go to Broughton and ask for a prospectus and find out the real value
Hicks ramblings are that of a desperate man trying to save face
