    Doucher, Duchatelet, how much will the Aussies pay

    Sparrows Lane, James Seed, 1000 pages on my feed

    Ezri Konsa, Redskin, patience is running thin

    North Greenwich, the Peninsula, has this thread gone too far

    Elfsborg, Red Henry’s wrong, nth London addick sings a different song

    In the know, the price too high, Napa can’t multiply

    J Block, breakthrough, Roland needs a new shoe

    Ibborg, Blackpool, Roland you are a tool

    We can’t sell the club, it’s been on the market, and he’ll sell our next starlet

    We can’t sell the club, The Aussies want to buy it, the EFL will fight it

    Done deal, Airman Brown, Hackett Fairchild going down

    Donald Muir, he’s not poor, Roland can you reduce the price a little more

    Russell Slade, Lewis Page, Colin’s on the rampage

    Hashtag not a penny more, Roland’s on the dance floor

    Rubashow, press release, KAG questioned by police, Roland brush your teeth

    Essex Al, on the prowl, onward to 2000 pages now, Airman is our sacred cow

    Chris Powell, Harry Kewell, Gomez got sold to Liverpool

    Checkatrade, hopes fade, how much longer for this whole charade

    We can’t sell the club, it’s been on the market, and he’ll sell our next starlet

    We can’t sell the club, The Aussies want to buy it, the EFL will fight it

    How long did it take to compose that ? Great effort.
    ha - got the elbow from this bird I've been seeing yesterday so naturally I thought what better way to spend the evening than to put our takeover into song form.

    I'll have a crack at the next two verses :)
    That's long distance relationships for you @t'cobbles.

    On the overseas trip, RD limited the budget to £20k, which is why they struggled with it. They either managed to find a way of doing it for £20k or the budget went up.

    There is a (reasonable) view that Robinson wasted money last year going to Ireland twice.

    Suppose if we only have 9 players it won't be too expensive
    Hotels.com is Duchatelet's friend.

    Been detached from following this too closely over the last week, but if I try and weigh up what seems the most likely rumour aspects its as follows

    - strong rumours that following a review by the EFL, one or two investors who were part of the consortium no longer are

    - strong rumours that the consortium reduced their offer, whether as a result of losing investors or for a different reason

    - Roland 'reacted badly' and sold Konsa. Attempts were made to buy off the o/s director debt at a reduced rate, which appears to have been unsuccessful. RD has since re-engaged with forming budget plans based on a non-takeover

    - Loose / fixed deadlines set for finalising consortium / proving funding capability / completion

    - @JamesSeed now believes that the consortium have plugged the investor gap that was created during the EFL process


    Not as detailed a summary as Henners excellent ones, but am I following what are perceived to be the most likely of the rumours / info being shared?

    Funding for 5 year plan has been key, as they always said.
    Never been a problem with buying the club. Funding had to be arranged for 5 year plan.
    Hence investor had to be in place.
    If investor was needed just to buy the club then we would indeed have problems as some have said.

    I was going to say in place, but just being careful

    The funding for the 5 year plan is actually the most important bit imho.
    Sounds very promising.
