Well if TG says it's Sam moving the goalposts it must be true. The last statement that guy said was we would remain Blue !!
Hmmm

Everyone said they were fed up of hearing about Sam, so I for one agreed and gave it a total rest u can't win with some of u.
Rem this Sam wants £10 mill up front and £5 mill if we are promoted, he has cut the debt well and truly down, plus offered to give up the naming rights.
Tan has said £10 mill has been put aside for Sam, so I ask why not pay him and let's get rid once and for all of the Langston main debt.

I will also repeat the truth always come out in the end.
I want City debt free like Tan has promised. :ayatollah:

Off now to Palma airport, so I am home for City v Huddersfield. :ayatollah:

To me it seems that they don't want to have the debt a equity until we go up. If it goes tits up it remains a debt.

They give sam a good written offer 3 weeks ago,but hes not replied,i dont think sam wants to do deal myself,hes hoping we get promoted so he ll get more money out of club.

Re: SAM HAMMAM MOVING GOALPOSTS

Thu Aug 16, 2012 5:07 pm

By saying stop moving the goalposts says to me they are agreeing on a figure then sam is asking for more.

Thats my opinion too :ayatollah:

The plan for the 100m investment was always going to carry the deal longer and longer with no movement.. :roll:

Re: SAM HAMMAM MOVING GOALPOSTS

Thu Aug 16, 2012 6:06 pm

This is obviously a very complex deal to sort out, Sam seems like he doesn't want to let go, possible because he wants to still be attached to the club when we gain promotion whatever the reason I'm sure VT will make Sam an offer he cant refuse

Re: SAM HAMMAM MOVING GOALPOSTS

All I will say is there are two alpha males and no one wants to be seen to give an inch, in my eyes giving some leeway is often seen as a strength not a weakness.

It would appear the sum of fifteen million is agreed on by all involved, ten and five for promotion, there just seems to be this massive yet minute stumbling block of how it's paid, lot's of offers eight million then three twos, nine and two threes,
it is so frustrating, but it is as if the last compromise or whatever it is, sometimes seems a million miles away.

To be honest, in my simple mind, if VT offered the ten in one lump and then five on promotion, then the pressure would be on Sam to deal or really be seen to be moving goal posts. :ayatollah:

I have always secertly thought that. You don't tell Sam Hammam that there is a spare £100m knocking about and then hope that he will take less? :o

Sam is not asking for more, he asking Vincent Tan to honour the offer that was made 12 weeks ago but then the offer changed, then it changed again and then again and then yet again.

Re: SAM HAMMAM MOVING GOALPOSTS

am i being silly but!! if vt doesnt swap debt to equity he will lose out big time as unsecured loans dont have priority if club goes into admin or worse! sam is in same boat except his is a dingy compared to the liner vt has! doesnt matter how much vt loans us its still his money hes useing and no garauntee of getting anything back unless he owns club!! which can only be done if he swaps debt to equity! presume this is correct?? :D

if the club went into admin unsecured debtors still have voting rights and those votes could be important in the club securing a CVA agreement.
Sams problem here is that if that happened the malaysians have a much bigger unsecured debt which would still give them the upper hand with the voting making sam potentially having to go along with whatever they decided.

He is a grade A liar. And Bellamy instigated his own move here. The Malaysians have just added his transfer to our Debt.
