Interesting!
I guess they may be interested if someone meets such a strong valuation, would represent a very good ROI.

Gosh I hope that’s not true?

Re: Anyone seen this?
I personally think this is very worrying and the start of them wanting out, for me it's been done in an awfully amateurish way too. Troubled times ahead I think.

Re: Anyone seen this?
This is why when relegation was confirmed I stated that I did not expect to see parachute payments invested in playing staff.
American companies are ruthless when things don't go the way they want them to - I've seen this many times over the years.
It was a big clue for me to read that KM really wanted to get Cajuste here for next season, but stated that he did not think it would be possible. Looking at the fees quoted for the move to Besiktas, that would have been easily achievable for us. I consider all of this and then read what has just been released and draw my own conclusions.

Well, well soon know when Omari and Davis are sold off, and the money not reinvested, won't we. The silence surrounding our transfer dealings to date ( which is
practically zero), is deafening.
Let's see how long it is before Ashton jumps ship for a job in the States.

Re: Anyone seen this?
Well I think that comment is ridiculous. But you’re entitled to your opinion. If it wasn’t for the Americans we’d still be in league one maybe lower. And why shouldn’t they consider their options? It’s a business! If it’s not a sustainable investment, then why would they continue to pour money into an asset that doesn’t sustain a pension fund?
I don’t think we’re even close to the Americans backing out, and to be honest your comments are borderline racist. Sorry don’t get mad at me. It’s just my opinion.

Re: Anyone seen this?
It's not ridiculous, my point is I don't think Ashton will be going anywhere soon, I don't feel the same way about the owners based on the press release, of course they are entitled to weigh up their options but it's not great. WTF are you on about racist ? What a moronic comment.

Well to be honest, I don’t think you like Americans based on your comments over the years. Maybe I’m wrong, and I apologize.Bluemike wrote: ↑Wed Jul 09, 2025 10:54 pmIt's not ridiculous, my point is I don't think Ashton will be going anywhere soon, I don't feel the same way about the owners based on the press release, of course they are entitled to weigh up their options but it's not great.

Re: Anyone seen this?
Completely wrong, have no idea what comments you are on about. In fact only Tuesday we shared a table in old town dubrovnik with a mother and daughter who could not get a seat, turned out they were American, from wisconsin, Two of the nicest people you could meet, chatted for nearly an hour and by coincidence my NFL team is The Packers, which they loved. I'm really lost on your comments if I'm honest, but it's not the first time and probably won't be the last.
