Haven’t been around the SBT block enough, is Hill another itk?

Ashley clearly has made a lot of money but isn’t exactly a sensible businessman. Read how Alan Pardew ended up with an 8 year contract at Newcastle

Hard to fecking know at times. Hypothetically would at least link the arena and the club. Feel like a promotion at this pointYes mate,well connected in Coventry and beyond.
Rangers fans were mighty glad to see the back of him as well.Y
You might want to ask a Newcastle fan what that was like ….
Team relegated under him ( and promoted ) no real investment in transfers, wouldn’t engage with the fans, banned local media.
They were protesting to get rid of him.
To be fair as long as he finally linked the stadium and the club, would be one of the better owners.Y

How much is Mike Ashley’s net worth is tied up in Fraser’s?My point stands
If Ashely wanted the club he would have had it and not Doug

Ah yes, pointless semantics. Club owned by Ashley pays company owned by Ashley rent. Technically there is a meaningful transaction if you really want to search for it.No it wouldn’t as they would still remain two separate companies

Or snake oil salesman depending on your point of view.Sisu would have lapped up anything he offered. They 'sold' us to a skint (in football terms) cooking oil salesman

Is “reading a lot of sales stuff” the extent of your negotiation experience? Literally just the concept of opening extreme, it’s really not that hard to graspFeel free to explain how it isn’t incoherent nonsense made up to sound smart. I’ve read a lot of sales stuff and “pretend you don’t want to sell” isn’t mentioned once, but I’m sure you, a man who sells advertising services to companies has an explanation.

Obviously it depends on the situation and who has the bargaining power, what you’re describing sounds like flogging avon catalogues. If you have an attractive product and have multiple interested parties than it’s a totally appropriate strategy to say you’re not actively looking so sell. Whether or not that was appropriate in this specific situation is a different conversation but to think it’s not a textbook strategy is incorrectThe first step in sales is finding prospects, which involves finding people interested. The idea you pretend something isn’t for sale and you gets lots of great offers in is a nonsense.
i don’t even know what this meansthis isn’t Neil Strauss’ The Game where you’re negging women or something.
No it’s not. But I’m not sure how you get to negotiations if you’re telling everyone interested it’s not for sale. That’s not the same thing at all.

Most serious people if they enquire and you say “fuck off” will fuck off, this isn’t Neil Strauss’ The Game where you’re negging women or something.
I’d just leave it at that, to be honest.Obviously it depends on the situation and who has the bargaining power, what you’re describing sounds like flogging avon catalogues.

Why do you think you know that?But we didn’t have multiple interested parties.
I can assure you that I’ve got a lot more expertise than you, ffs.Hoenstly I suspect from your answers neither of you have the first clue what you’re on about. You sound like you’ve read the cliff notes of Art of the Deal and winged it from there.

One.Lend us your experience. How many company sales have you been involved in where you told all interested bidders the company wasn’t for sale?
One.
You?

Yeah, im sure you were really involved in the processIve been at two companies during the sales process and other attempted buyouts. At no point were prospective buyers told the company wasn’t for sale. Even when the founders didn’t want to sell they listened to offers that were of interest to them. Most people understand every company is for sale at some price, the question is what those terms are. Sometimes it’s clear the two are far apart early on, sometimes late on, but at no point did either company put out public statements that the company wasn’t for sale in an attempt to get a higher offer.
Generally even if you don’t want to sell having someone interested can lead to investment or other opportunities.
As I said walk us through yours where they did.
Yeah, im sure you were really involved in the process
I don’t believe any politics or clever selling comes into this.Believe what you want. I notice you’re still not explaining your experience. Tell us how telling buyers publicly the company wasn’t for sale lead to higher offers. I’m all ears.
