Interesting that four Dubai groups have contacted the U.S. group that is handling the evaluation and sale of the club. All four of the approaches have stalled once they were shown the level of financial verification that would be required to place a binding bid.
At first they said that they would invite new shareholders, since that time the main owners in the FSG group have said they would be interested in a complete buy out.
We went through this the last time we lost Chilwell and Reece. If Newcastle and Spurs keep getting results, we will not finish top 4. The only reason we made it the last time was the other teams feel apart.
So we play in Dortmund first on Feb 14th. It is not a bad draw if we are ready for it. Bayren got the worst draw after winning all their group stage matches. Barca vs Man Utd is an interesting round of 16.
I don’t think we can blame anyone other than our lack of build up play. We rarely got the ball in dangerous places to score and when we did on a few occasions it was just a blind wild cross.
