OldNick Posted 23 December, 2008 Share Posted 23 December, 2008 To be fair Nick (you answered reasonably so I'll offer you the same courtesy) I don't believe Gaydamak has ever been actually quoted saying what he wanted for the club. Figures have been bandied around in the media as anywhere from £1 (a figure you all liked on here) to as much as £100m. If you can provide a quote showing me that Gaydamak stated he wanted £20m for the club I'll happily admit you're right but don't believe you are. As far as the strength of the Rand is concerned, if these guys are anything like the other South Africans I know this could be a way of getting some of their money out of the country - who knows. All I know is what I've been told and that the guys looking to buy are a group of individually wealthy South Africans who now have the finance for a bid pretty much in place. The info came from someone in a position to offer specifics, not a fan who heard a rumour from a mate. It could all go tits up of course. Time will tell.I do business with a few SA's and they have real trouble getting money out and so I would expect people trying to buy a fotball club could have problems.Of course they may already have assets abroad that could make it easier.I would myself be suspisious of anyone wishing to buy into football as it is quickly becoming.

ivangolac Posted 24 December, 2008 Share Posted 24 December, 2008 My trip to Vegas was a business one and happily, the people I was meeting there phoned just as I got to the airport to say they couldn't make it. Which meant that rather than spending days away from home and not get back until Xmas Eve as planned I got to spend the weekend with my wife. Bad luck for her but good luck for me. Also, posting on here wasn't the last thing I did before I left, but as I only have three posts per day it was the last post I could make. And as I didn't have to make the trip posting on here wasn't the first thing I did. In fact as usual I didn't post on here at all over the weekend nor yesterday. Which sort of ****es on your chips claiming I'm obsessed wouldn't you say? If I was obsessed, I'd be on here at weekends and in the evenings? Fair point? Hope Santa brings you the gimp mask you want for Xmas :cool: What a load of ******** ......your elaborate excuses just proves that you are a lonely , obsessive gimp.. :---) Maybe your get a life for xmas , but somehow i doubt it .....
