I hate FAH as much as the next guy, but seeing as they failed to buy Everton and Swansea and the takeover isn't in the best interest of the club. I might have to give him some credit for this one. Might not be the owner we want but he might have saved us from something worse?

This has gone way further down the line than the other 2 clubs though. Money was loaned against property and a holding company set up.

Well if it has gone that far down the line and fawaz was trying to swindle him for more money jjm will be able to sue him! let's see if that happens!

I actually agree. You can't expect him to just cave in if the yanks kept moving the goalposts. They did the exact same thing with Swansea and Everton. I'm a bit gutted right now but in the long run it may be a good thing. Tough times ahead though but I will never lose faith. COYR!

But hasn't Fawaz failed to sell to the Greek, Red Bull and now the American? I can't believe some people still defend him after everything.

The Greek was dodgy, did red bull offer anything? And it looks like the Americans tried to pull a fast one and get it cheaper- I can't knock them for trying to take advantage of fawaz's situation, that's the real world. Fawaz got himself in it and wants out but still wants a decent return-I can't see him ever getting it but that's a different story.

But you don't know the situation behind JJM failing to get 3 clubs, so can't really say it was the Americans fault when both have failed 3 times. And i'm lead to believe that Red Bull were very interested, but wanted the full 100% which Fawaz wouldn't sell.

So you've just answered what 2tone said red bull never offered anything so how could it be a failed attempt. lol. jjm tried to lower the price at the last knockings with all three. the telegraph hate fawaz but have said jjm tried to drop his price to £15mill to buy us. that to me is a pee take and fawaz did the right thing. Also the Greek has a criminal allegation being investigated which involves football so the fl wouldn't give him the nod! obviously that's fawaz' fault as well.

I'm interested in 100% ownership of a Bentley but the bloke selling it wanted more than I wanted to offer, therefore it wasn't really a serious offer or ever likely to happen.
