    I think it’s been dead in the water for a very long time . Even if by some miracle the Aussies do take over my confidence in them is very low because of the balls up of trying to get this deal over the line . They obviously don’t have the financial clout to buy a club and that’s really worrying .
    100% speculation.

    Yep it has gotten more and more zabeel like every passing week I expect announcement to be made after the Sunderland game saying that RD is staying and the deals off

    I agree.

    I'm so sure it's not happening before the start of the season that I'll have the ROT logo tattooed on my arse if it does.
    That would be an honour seeing as I designed it :)

    Reckon we'll be on page 2000 in December and still being told sell on is 'imminent'! By then we will probably be in bottom three and fighting relegation.

    Takeover Infinity Loop Status Update: Stage 5

    1. Someone posts they’ve heard the deal may go through next week.

    2. Excitement builds as we get close to the deadline.

    3. Deadline passes. Nothing is said by the club or reported by the local media.

    4. Discussions on here around reasons for the delay amongst more puns, gifs etc.

    5. A few agree they have doubts about the Aussies or the deal even going through.

    6. Others post that the Aussies aren’t the enemy, RD is to blame etc.

    I’m expecting someone to buy the club during the next six weeks or so, and they’ll be faced with a situation where they can’t affect things on the pitch, which’ll give them time to sort things out a bit off the pitch.
    But that’s the optimist’s viewpoint.
    Or course it could always happen next week after the window closes, or maybe all potential buyers may walk away suddenly. But would be surprised if the Aussies do, after all the time and money invested up to now.
    You are sounding less confident the Aussies will pull this off James. Have you heard something more? Sorry if I've missed a post amongst all the debenture discussions!

    NB I'm not specifically blaming anyone for the recent hold up, because I don't know what's going on, although I believe I've heard all the speculation.

    Nope. No retraction . It’s my opinion which isn’t based on any facts whatsoever other than this sorry takeover charade has sucked out any enthusiasm I have for this club and if it’s not their fault it’s dragged on so long why are they still involved ? Most businesses / Consortiums would have run a mile a very long time ago .
    My personal opinion , again based on no information whatsoever , is that they don’t have the money because money talks and the deal would have been done by now if they had the funds .

    Yes I have loads of theories, but not enough to blame any one party for the latest delay.
    Obviously RD could have sold up ages ago, if he really wanted to at a lower price.

    Exactly, which is why we should have an open mind as to what is causing the latest delay and not be blaming someone with no proof.
