What's the point of the club's statement? |  | | |  |
| Phil on 19:41 - Feb 26 with 4560 views | Swansea_Blue |
Much like the rest of the statements that have come from the club since he took over (3 is it, maybe 4) it's probably balls. |  |

If it's anything more than something just to fill a space - and I know they've been umming and ahhing about saying something this afternoon - I'm guessing that Marcus is probably making a point to the interested parties that it's not done yet. |  | | |

For sure. By far the best way to deal with this. | |

Or Marcus hasn't decided whether he's going to accept the offer of course. If there was nothing happening, then you'd assume that given the widespread nature of the reports they'd issue something to say as much.

I agree with the press release possibly being used as a negotiation tool, but also wondered if the intended audience might have been the fans too. Marcus has always said that he would be careful who he would sell the club to and also I believe in the past mentioned something along the lines of being a custodian. Therefore in making this statement he is confirming to the fans that he is not proactively looking to sell the club and does still care who the potential new owner might be. In addition, whilst the negotiations continue he intends to try to focus on getting the club promoted (although many of us feel that this might be hard to achieve this season) and if the deal breaks down or he feels is not right, then he will continue to financially support the club in future seasons too until someone else comes along that he feels is appropriate to do a deal with. Therefore I think it is to reassure us that he does not intend to walk away or seek an exit at all costs. Whilst I do not know Marcus Evans personally I do feel that this image does matter to him.
But then again I might be wrong. |  | | |

Yeah my first thought was he hasn't denied any of the rumours. Saying he's not touting the club around isn't saying anything really. No one accused him of such. And anyway, if he has a buyer lined up then he has no need to tout the club around!
It's a bit of an odd statement, but then most of them are in recent times. Like you say, could well be a message to the potential buyers that they need to be fit and proper (or he's making it look like that's what he was after, to cover his ass if it all goes t!ts up).
In fact it's not much more than he's said in the past. |  |
| Trust the process. Trust Phil. |

Sounds reasonable to me. Also any other interested parties - of which I know there have been some in the recent past - will know the deal's not done yet and they've still got a chance to buy the club if they want it.

Yes, and it is a reiteration of Evans's previous comments. | | | |

Do you think they are trying to flush out other interested parties?
£17m is absolute peanuts in football terms, would buy you one leg of an average PL Striker. |  |

That's not the price I - and others - have heard. £30m was the figure I've heard mentioned. | | | |

Hmm, even so, still quite a snip, I say snip, it's a colossal amount of money, but in football terms it's quite low, especially with the potential rewards on offer.
Would love to know what the strong words between Lambert and Evans consisted of. Perhaps we will find out in time. | |

Is it a snip? Sunderland were bought for £23m I believe and they own their stadium and the ground it sits on.
Not sure on their debt situation though |  | | |
