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.
Exactly. If Roland could have got more money out of another buyer he would have sent the Aussies packing.
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.
Absolutely.
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?
The Takeover Infinity Loop has swung back round to position 1
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 anymore

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.

This, but you’re letting the facts spoil a good story.
Whilst I do appreciate the "update" did Cawley not think to ask the blindingly obvious question....
what it holding it up then ?
That’s the question they won’t answer. That’s all you’ll get.
“Will it done before before the season starts?” “We’re trying”.
The details are confidential.
PS I’ve woken up feeling all negative today :-(
Well done. Caught up with the rest of us, at last...
You’ve dragged me down.
Actually, JS, psychologically, you have dragged everyone down.
Psychologically, if you are on a 'high', for whatever reason (not necessarily chemical), there will be a trough. If you get another 'high', it will next time not as likely be as high as the last one. And the ensuing trough will be that little bit deeper. This is the basis principal of addiction, of any kind. You will chase that high whatever the cost. This is the reason why drug addicts tend to cycle onto more and more powerful drugs, chasing that elusive first 'high'. And then can't cope when the next trough hits. Which is usually why they go for their next fix. Not for the high. But an inability to deal with the low.
This is one on the concerns with people suffering bi-polar disorder, (like my daughter) the concerns aren't the 'highs' (unless it leads to law breaking, which it can) it is how the sufferer deals with the 'troughs'. Which usually leads to self harm and suicide.
So, every time you've given us a little snippet from GM, we all get a little buzz. Then when nothing happens, along comes the following trough, which drags us down a bit more.
That is why so many on here are no longer looking at the Aussie consortium as John Wayne leading the cavalry over the horizon any more. I don't necessarily think they deserve all the abuse they're getting, but we're now just suffering from numb ennui.
Doesn't mean we won't celebrate when it happens, but the most common feeling now is: "just get it f***ing done..."

Not sure it’s fair to blame me for that!
It’s the situation that’s causing you the highs and lows. All I’ve said since the beer meeting was that they weren’t pulling out, when the rumour mill was saying they had, or were. Just a few rumour denials, nothing else.
Anyway, it’s been going on for so long there’s been plenty of time for other prospective buyers to get their act together and put in a proper bid. Maybe they’ll be the John Wayne figures who rescue us from certain disaster.
The Aussies are getting a bit abuse, but that’s no big deal, and quite understandable in an instant gratification world. But this is a circular thread after all, when it gets too much a big hitter like Grapevine appears and puts everyone straight.

And will Bowyer try and force the issue
