Title: Simple Post by: red macca on Friday, December 22, 2006, 13:12:46 This sounds to easy to be true
But cant the board say right we want x amount for the club are you willing to pay this? :shrug: Title: Simple Post by: Piemonte on Friday, December 22, 2006, 13:16:43 There is no real reason why not if they were serious about selling. I'm sure the deal would be more complicated than straight cash though.
As I said in another thread I dont see how someone is supposed to make a realistic offer to buysomething if the seller wont tell them what they want for it Title: Simple Post by: Simon Pieman on Friday, December 22, 2006, 13:21:18 It would still be like:
Seller: "I will sell you my car for £3000." Potential buyer: "How many miles has it done?" Seller: "Make me a formal offer and I'll tell you." To quote that shitty Nationwide advert, 'it doesn't work like that.' Title: Simple Post by: SwindonTartanArmy on Friday, December 22, 2006, 13:23:30 Quote from: "simon pieman" It would still be like: Best explanation yet. Write an email to an adver like that. :mrgreen:Seller: "I will sell you my car for £3000." Potential buyer: "How many miles has it done?" Seller: "Make me a formal offer and I'll tell you."

Good analogy, but as far as I'm aware the seller hasnt even said the car is available for £3,000? Title: Simple Post by: Frigby Daser on Friday, December 22, 2006, 13:29:41 sadly no - they've admitted in the RS interview they haven't valued the company - an indication perhaps tey have no intention of selling. Also, they stated that the price will vary depending on who buys it - whether th board has complete trust in them or not - and thus can rely on them to make future payments (it was indicated that payments won't be in a single lump sum but installments over a period of time) and thats where the guarantees etc come in - then tey want guarantees that there will be future investment.
It is complex - any acquisition is Title: Simple Post by: SwindonTartanArmy on Friday, December 22, 2006, 13:31:57 Well in that case its more like....
Trust: How much do you want for the club, incudling debts? Club: Make us an offer and we will tell you. Trust: how can we make you an offer when you wont tell us how much we actually have to cover? :old: Title: Simple Post by: Panda Paws on Friday, December 22, 2006, 13:34:26 Quote from: "simon pieman" To quote that shitty Nationwide advert, 'it doesn't work like that.' Maybe they need a cracker jacker tracker mortgage before they'll sell up.
