Sentinel: Norman Smurthwaite says Asian consortium is ready to pay £2.8m for Port Val

[Robbie Earle's Perm]

Suppose the Asians buy the club (assuming Norm isn't telling porkies - perish the thought) and do a Wimbledon, moving Vale to a place that doesn't have a League club? They wouldn't even have to change the name, Port Vale having no geographical connection to an actual place.

 

Then the Shanahans would have to start a legacy club in the lower leagues like AFC Wimbledon if they wanted Vale to continue. The only saving grace is that NS would be hacked off.

 

I’m sure the FA or EFL put systems in place to ensure that wouldn’t happen again after the MK Dons debacle.

Another 100k to spend on his 3 women

 

Three?

[Robbie Earle's Perm]

My 15 years of experience working in M&A for both solvent companies and those in a restructuring environment would have to disagree. 👍

 

Can he do it. Yes

Is it normal with a back stop date. No.

Does it put the club at risk. Yes.

 

We will have to agree to differ in that case.

 

If you believe the back stop date you are dafter than his emotional comments on Saturday.

[PVTony]

Deal is on - until the day before Smurfs deadline day, then it fails and so he takes the club into administration.

 

His evil mind would do this out of spite.

[blackdog]

Not seen confirmation yet.

 

Apology accepted.

[Robbie Earle's Perm]

For anyone that was unsure of Norman’s sanity and business acumen you have solid gold proof that the man is a a con artist of the highest order. He’s even conned himself into thinking that astute business people will want to buy a club that the can get for a fraction of the cost in a few month... as advertised by the plonker himself!!!

 

SS was the first bid in!!

 

Football in the lower leagues is a loss making business for the wealthy, emotional and/or those with massive egos, there will always be 72 individuals or groups daft enough 🙄

[Robbie Earle's Perm]

Apology accepted.

 

Show us all then......

No longer possible, moves limited to less than 6 miles from memory.

You can agree to differ... I will just know you are wrong 😂

[dantheman]

I'd love Asian owners. Asians are generally very good with finances

 

Erm....Blackburn

[Mario]

You can agree to differ... I will just know you are wrong

 

That ***** is never wrong you should know that got an ego nearly as big as his mate Smuffwate.

[JAMO-IN-MEXICO]

If he gets to keep the ground then it will raise the bar on the meaning slum landlord. bulbs gone? sod off! sorry leccy gone off just at the last minute, and as for the water leaks - sorry I'm on holiday. bye!

[JAMO-IN-MEXICO]

only thing left in that instance is to ask Stoke to open a stand every other Saturday at the Community Stadium.

[sunny boslem]

Asian owners 😂

The bloke has clearly lost the plot or he thinks we are just braindead

I agree with that post above he ain’t going anywhere all he wants is to rinse us dry with rent and the catering etc

Surely no mug would buy the club without the ground especially with that lunatic as landlord

Smurf we know your reading this if u **** our club over I assure u u will have to look over your shoulder for the rest of your life

Trust me

[CAVALIER]

He doesn't have to go down the admin route at all. That's just a ***** trick
