No Deal this side of Christmas, think Aussies are " Wheel kickers" ! Happy to avoid relegation!0

You might have something there. I reckon Roland has blocked them from bidding ebay-style and all the negotiations are justvto get him to allow them even though their feedback score isn’t good enough (they’ve never bought a ham-fisted football club before)usetobunkin said:No Deal this side of Christmas, think Aussies are " Wheel kickers" !

Why don't you have the seat now?JamesSeed said:
I wouldn't mind. So long as someone buys the club, I'm happy.Horsfield9 said:Fingers still crossed for Redhenry's lot, to come to our rescue at the 11th hour !!!
Even though it means I don't get the padded seat in the directors' box that is of course my birthright :-(0 -
Because I can't afford it. And they'd throw me out if I could!JohnnyH2 said:

Me when I log on, skip to the last page, read a couple of posts and then log off.8 -
When I speculated the delay was nothing to do withRoland, ex Directors or loans, you made a point of highlighting that bit and said “not so”. But if you know for a fact that this is not the case, you must know something you have not shared.
Not every comment I’ve made is based on something he told me. I have a couple of other sources who send me info because I’ve shared my GM info.
I don’t remember that ‘not so’, or the context, and the only thing I heard from GM about pre May 18th delays was they they were from issues dating from before the Duchâtelet era.
I’m not holding anything back about the negotiations, trust me.
Have read before that issues go back to before Duchatelet era,THINK Airman Brown mentioned as far back as 2010 …… please correct me if i am wrong.0 -
Is it not disconcerting that the Aussie takeover is taking this long to complete? Surely this doesn't set a good precedent for the future. I'm sure i'm not alone here, but i'm not getting a great feeling about this.3

It’s certainly disconcerting for the Aussies.charlton_hero said:Is it not disconcerting that the aussie takeover is taking this long to complete? Surely this doesn't set a good precedent for the future. I'm sure i'm not alone in this, but i'm not getting a great feeling about this.

Unless they've got some sandpaper down their trousers! (That one for cricket fans of course)!bazjonster said:
Certainly mugged themselves off there in my opinion. Way too premature and naive if they really felt it was over the line. It almost smacked of arrogance if I was totally honest.jdsd42 said:I think the fact that the Aussie turned up in the crowd and was waving a scarf and hailed as the new messiah and sky announced that new owners were waiting to take over - had us all thinking that the RD would be gone in a couple of weeks.. and let’s get the players in and get out of league for most has soured the start of the season and maybe all of it for us ....
Their Silence is deafening and I don’t go along with due diligence ...at least release one statement
Be good to know who is buying and selling the players
Roll on Saturday week and beat Sunderland and get the season started
Still, not like an Aussie to be bold and brash that's for sure.0 -
Must be time for another false dawn. We haven't had one of those for several weeks. A false dawn, followed by a lunar eclipse would make it quite a day.1

Also according to the bastion of truth that is the club another party are still involved, if it was all down to the Convicts drawing this all out then surely somebody else would have got it done in the meantime. For that reason it has to be the club is a mess and Roland is a bit and the Australians are mad for persevering.2

So will Bowyer be announced a Manager before the start of season or still be Caretaker Manager?0

Exactly. If Roland could have got more money out of another buyer he would have sent the Aussies packing.cfgs said:Also according to the bastion of truth that is the club another party are still involved, if it was all down to the Convicts drawing this all out then surely somebody else would have got it done in the meantime.

“Will it done before before the season starts?”
“We’re trying”.

Why they didn't get their big guns to buy the club first and then go on this merry investment dance after is anyone's guess?0 -
Judging by the amount of comments on this thread in the hour or so since this news broke i would say most people are taking it with a pinch of salt and/or are totally fed up with it and dont believe a word anyone says anymoreHenry Irving said:

Having worked in private equity for the last year - that’s not how groups of investors work. They are not buying the club for the love of it or for fun. They will have made a risk assessment and decided if it’s worth the risk and then end goal is achievable - then they will spread the risk - often investing other people’s money - so doing multi DD. Only then will they go ahead.carly burn said:
