    So the 1000 pages did for the takeover once and for all? What is the opposite of a promote?

    A demote but you have to have one before it can be taken away :wink: .
    I’ve had a demote, and I’ve even got an ‘abuse’ flag now.
    Nearly got the full set :smile:
    Can't see you achieving the Grand Slam @cafcwill , you're a bit of a goody two shoes, still everyone has their breaking point :wink:
  • So if the Aussies miss the deadline, then what does Duchatelet do?

    He still wants to sell and so far they are the only known buyers.

    Is RD willing to cut the Aussies dead when there is no other party ready to put their money down.

    Just can't see RD shutting the door on the Aussies 100%

    There has to be a walk away point on both sides always or it’s not a negotiation

    We can not go into the season with it up in the air

    We need to focus on the season ahead and know that RD is willing to sell that’s one thing that we must all keep pushing to happen

    The sad thing for me is that the Saudi bid was 40.5 mil they matched the Aussie bid till that went up for a final time and they walked away

    Now if it’s true that this has now reached the walk away point then I am pissed off their fucking around has stopped us getting rid of RD when they seemingly never had the cash to do it

    Not confirmed yet but it’s no surprise it’s been being discussed in PM’s on here since Sunday night and most of yesterday so let’s wait and see
    And the Saudis had the money and the Aussies were nowhere near!
    Source?

    Kiss and make up with Elfs, who's soft spot is a free beer or three, next season and I reckon he'll remove the flag.

    Treat an abuse flag as a badge of honour James, It's taken me nearly 6 years to get the full set but I finally achieved it recently :sunglasses:
    What's the full set?

    Happy to keep the flag. He'll think I made up the phone call, as well as the rest of it.

    Phoned GM, for the first time in fact, and his words were 'not as far as I've heard mate. Don't believe the rumours. If I hear anything different I'll let you know.'

    This is the big question.

    For less than half of the £7m owed to the former directors RD could pay off some of the ex-directors and arrange a lease of The Valley with The Aussies potentially until they do have the cash to buy The Valley.

    That equates to 3-4 more months of funding £1m a month losses so really wouldn't surprise me if RD steps up his efforts to pay out some of the ex-directors and arrange a lease deal with The Aussies until they have the cash.

    In the meantime the beginning of our sleepwalk to League Two gets closer while no deal happens.
  • If the Aussies don't have the cash now how would they be able to raise the cash as well as subsidising the running of the club?

  • If the Aussies don't have the cash now how would they be able to raise the cash as well as subsidising the running of the club?

    It could be that they have certain funds to buy with and certain funds to run the club with for a period of time, they then look for more investment as time passes. That said, if they have lost one or two investors, then it's possible they will have less funds available to run the club with and will need the extra cash injection much sooner.

    It's all speculation, but this would seem a logical path to take.

    but that is just Slater & Jiminez mk 2.......and we know where thst got us. Anyone buying us needs to have £70m-£80m. £40m to pay Roland & enough £££ to fund player purchases & the running of the club for at least 3 seasons.

    Yes, I said that a few pages back. Simply buying out RD is just the beginning.

    If the Aussies can’t raise the cash to buy the club have they got the money to actually run it?
    Will they have to find investors to fund January transfers?
    It all sounds a bit hand to mouth or havd I misinterpreted?

    How can only some of the directors get paid off who would agree to that

    All the ex directors should be paid off in full or not at all ,


    The amounts of money owed to each of them from the smallest to the biggest are life changing amounts to most everyday folk and it’s not like writing off a tener

    Whoever buys our club should do the right thing by them all surely as without them the club would’ve gone into a admin years ago
    We would have gone into admin without RD as well, should he also therefore be paid back in full?

    Anybody that buys this club for £40m is mental. The maths has been done. It's worthless!

    No Napa proved it is priceless not worthless.

    Of course he should , the hatred for what he has done is correct and right and wishing he lost all his money is fine

    But in reality he should get his money back because ultimately it did serve its purpose

    When it’s not our own money it’s very easy to judge how it should be spent or redistributed back to the one who actually spent it

    The value of something is what someone would pay for it and the value was £40.5 mil that’s the figure that the saudis were prepared to pay and was the figure the Aussies upped to ko them from the process

    Who would walk away from that I don’t think we will get relegated I don’t think we will go up I think someone will pay that and ownership will change when that will happen only god knows and I honestly think only we care no one else in the wider world of football
  • Who are the American investors?.
  • If the Aussies don't have the cash now how would they be able to raise the cash as well as subsidising the running of the club?

    I think they always had the funding, but when two fairly major investors are biffed at the last minute, there are always going to be delays finding replacements with available funds, especially with such a risky investment opportunity. ‘Wealthy optimists apply here’.

    It’s disappoinring nonetheless.
  • James seed is it true about the American' s?.

    Also very confusing, if the deal was genuinely expected to go through as far back as February.

    I’ve heard they are a consortium from The Falklands....known locally as The Falklands 6.
    This consortium would have patience in their DNA.

    Did the two 'fairly major investors' have connections with PL Clubs..? If so the likelihood of them getting on board was going to be slim from the off.

    Hope we weren't being set-up as a Feeder Club for two PL Clubs...
