She has made tea four times before and needs more time to let things brew properly. A teapot pre-warming to get her own cups and saucers in place is the least she deserves. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted July 5, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 5, 2018 Poor old Tony. This explains a lot. He meant to employ a Barrister at £200k a year but accidentally employed a Barista instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A'Villan Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Might be old news here but the BM has reported an attempt at a 30% purchase as being declined as well as a different consortium making an offer for 51% ownership, also declined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Makes me wonder if we are just getting really low offers because they know the Dr is financially in a hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything off the top shelf young man. Because low life bottom feeders are sadly what you'll be attracting currently, same as we did at Leeds for years. If you genuinely have a saviour out there he'll buy the whole lot lock stock at the price Xia wants because he'll have enough money not to worry about over-paying by £50/£80 million. Don't hold your breath mind, there aren't many of those about, as we found to our cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Warren Buffet and coupons etc... Having an eye for a bargain and negotiating the best price don't preclude having good intentions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 First off you need a willing seller for a 100% sale and we don't. Xia will have to be forced to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
