    you mean MacGyver? - Wish I could, but I resigned from Mod Life with a public statement recently.

    RD hasn’t reached agreement with the former directors. If the Aussies insist on clean title, which I’m assured they are, the deal can’t be closed until he does.

    That's not very dynamic of him.

    Copied from another thread:


    I also suspect that, if Roland does feck off soon, this will be just the tip of the iceberg in terms of cuts.
    Not sure what it's based on, but another worrying hint.
    @Stu_of_Kunming my typo, should read "if Roland doesn't feck off soon"

    I've edited it out. @Henry Irving

    Is the likely result of this that RD will extend the fire sale in order to make the up-front cash required to pay off the ex directors in full?

    But i thought he was trying to pay off the directors so that he could lease the Valley & Sparrows Lane to the Aussies? So the Aussies want the friendly debt paid off prior to taking over?

    Is this the only (substantive) thing holding it up at the moment do you know?

    So is the deal with former directors, if made (and let's hope so if it's stopping completion), going to confirm the lease of ground and training ground scenario?

    You’d think he’d clear this charge just to get this deal done. Nothing makes sense anymore

    My understanding is that 1) it’s been RD pushing the lease scenario, which would require the loans to be cleared 2) the Aussies want the freehold and the loans cleared.

    RD made a very low offer to clear the loans, which was rejected by at least three former directors.

    None of this info comes from the Aussies, but make of it what you will.

    Cos things like charges on the Club and loans to be settled are sorted on the supposed day of completion (take #5) and not while agreeing prices, doing Due Diligence etc. earlier on in the process.

    That, and the amount of time it's taking to remove derogatory reviews on Tripadvisor.

    Impasse.

    Think RD will now sell assets and cut as many costs as possible to try to achieve that £7 million.

    Player sales with little expenditure and cut off the supply of bacon to the staff and only 13 chips per customer.

    Think we might now be firmly in the shizer.

    Has RD expected the Aussies to pay the loans off and when they have said no, offered a low amount on purpose to potentially force the Aussies hand?

    I'm sticking my neck out a bit here but I don't think it will be completed today.

    I am starting to think it wont happen in my life time!
