    £1.25 m bid for Port Vale

    I'm just not sure they see it that way. They are pretty much breaking even or even making a small profit now so maybe think they can just hang onto it.

    £1.25 m bid for Port Vale

    Other than a slight difference in what we think Sisu may bite at (and that's all speculation and guess work anyway), it seems we are pretty much on the same page.

    £1.25 m bid for Port Vale

    Assume they'll sell what they can (Ryton) then take what they can for the little that is left. OSB broke it down previously on another thread. Maybe there is some compromise around the £10m mark (not saying it's actually worth that). Who knows, we have no choice but to see how it plays out...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    She just shouldn't be allowed to open her mouth. It's like a car crash. Unfortunately labour need a new leadership team before they are credible. Whatever your political persuasion we need a strong opposition. It's good for democracy and keeps the ruling party in check. And Mrs May really does...

    £1.25 m bid for Port Vale

    I don't mean for his own publicity. Why are you so confident that they will sell? I hope he doesn't give up, I'd like someone like Mr Hoffman to be involved who is well respected in the business world but also has the club in his heart.

    £1.25 m bid for Port Vale

    We hope that is the case but whilst they are breaking even or making a profit they have no real need. They will just keep cutting costs. Not sure I'd walk away whilst I could still make some of my money back unless I received the right offer.

    £1.25 m bid for Port Vale

    Look, we want the same thing. We want Sisu gone. I just want to understand how you think they will be available for a couple of million? It might be what we think the club is worth but that is irrelevant - assume we agree on that? I just find it pointless saying Port Vale have had an £x million...

    £1.25 m bid for Port Vale

    Could you explain why they would walk away without reclaiming what they've put in? I don't get how it is like buying a house - I genuinely want to be enlightened.

    £1.25 m bid for Port Vale

    Yes, you're right. I'm not pretending to be an expert. Sorry Mr Big Shot in your multi million dollar San Marino house (fancy buying a football club? I hear it's not worth much). The point I'm trying to make which is being completely missed is that the seller, in this case Sisu, controls the...

    £1.25 m bid for Port Vale

    I hope you're right, I just don't have faith it will be that easy.

    £1.25 m bid for Port Vale

    Exactly, so they are not. It's not like buying a house though, it's buying a business where it is commonplace to inherit the debt of a company along with the assets. What Hoffman is trying to do is purchase the assets, with whatever is left of the company to be liquidated by the current owners...

    £1.25 m bid for Port Vale

    Because..... And this is key.... The fuckers have to accept it. I know we all live in dreamland where they accept a couple of quid and go off into the sunset writing off everything they have put into the club (whatever figure that may be it's fairly substantial) but that isn't going to happen...

    This is next seasons kit (probably)

    They choose to do that. They could have specially designed kits but there is obviously a cost involved. Would love to go back to making our own in house.

    Love the 2 tone kit.

    Out of contract National league strikers.

    I think mid to late twenties that's more of a consideration. How far do you think you can go in the game. At 21 you have to take the opportunity. Likely not got a high paid job or too much responsibility at that age anyway.

    League one/two released players 2017

    Therein lies the problem. It's not just about having a goalscorer.

    This is next seasons kit (probably)

    Hate it! Maybe do a white and red squares like the Croatia kit. Nike have that template. Would be good to see some away kits! Endless colour variations.

    Out of contract National league strikers.

    Mentioned him earlier. Do you know for a fact that's who he was watching or just speculation? Would be an exciting signing (at least for a non league geek like me).

    Out of contract National league strikers.

    There's a fair amount of video of highlights of Barwell's games. I'm pretty up to speed with non league football so had heard about him but haven't ever seen him play. Watched a few highlights videos from this season and seen him score some decent goals, difficult to get a feel for his all round...
