    Maybe all this talk about the Aussies refers to Alisher Usmanov - initials AU.... AUssies? Maybe? Please? Pretty please?

    yeah good luck flogging Lewis Paige to someone in Slovakia

    He could go to a Scottish team?
    I think he would pick Slovakia over Scotland, he would not want to drop that low
  • AU, the rock steady crew

    Make a break make a move.....

    Are you ITK, very cryptic :smiley:
  • I sent them an email with very similar wording this morning, willie, responding to their promo message for the launch of the new season. It didn't bounce, but not holding breath for reply!

  • Check this thread far too many times a day in the hope of positive news.

    Perhaps if we started another thread it might change...........please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Waiting for another deadline to end in total silence---- only a couple of days to wait
  • I thought there was more to the Usmanov rumours than just that ‘sighting’ could be wrong though. I’ve heard it a few times.
  • Can't believe this is still going on.

    (I'm guessing will probably also likely be said in august 2019)
  • There is no actal 'deadline', but the comment 'a couple of difficult weeks ahead' etc was made two weeks ago today. I'm clinging on to the hope that something might happen this week, but of course it probably won't @Goonerhater

    I don't think the Aussies are wasting time. More likely they have made their offer and are sticking with it. Question is will RD get fed up with all the abuse he gets from us and the media, plus having to pay the bills. After next week he will be unable to sell the players, until January. Maybe the twat will finally give up and sell next week.

    I very much doubt that Roland gives a toss about what we say on an insignificant (to most people) forum about how he runs our club. You can insult him (verbally and in print) till the cows come home. Like most of his ilk he has a skin as thick as a Tiger tank so it's a pointless exercise.
    At the expense of repeating myself......he’s fundamentally a sociopath.

    Im sure i read Something he said recently regarding his tenure in football was that social media platforms play a big part in the football philosophy and he found that interesting.

    Wouldn't mind betting that social media is now his number one obsession and he is planning some mad brained money making idea on that front.
    I would suggest that he secretly skulks in the background of this forum having a little chuckle to himself whilst helping him to find little ways to twist the knife.

  • Shaun Harvey heads up the EFL. I'm sure it's not difficult to work out his email address.

    What about a dream scenario - Usmanov has always been on the investment side of things, because the Arsenal deal has been mooted for a while. Maybe that deal has been taking a little longer. Paperwork was submitted to EFL with Usmanov named, knowing he's not out of Arsnal yet, but will be. Basically it's all good to go ready but 'rejected' until dual interest is settled. RD knows this too and technically while the money isn't there, it will be. To use the house buying, we're in a chain of sale. So all talk of a secondary interest etc can be true, because it can always fall through or be gazumped, but likelihood all are agreed to just wait. But that takes time. It can't be talked about because of both NDA on us AND Arsenal. So this difficult two weeks is A) they have been aware it'll be happening but still waiting for the AFC shares sale to be agreed and made public. B) Aussies aware we're all getting twitchy but they can't do anything about it. C) RD is minimising his outlays, now it's unlikely there will be any major sales like a Lookman or Konsa now. D) The transfer deadline is annoyingly close by coincidence, so whereas they expected this to be done early 2018 or after the playoffs, they have been waiting for what they have always know was likely to happen. Just, like us they have been waiting longer than expected. Because it's not just been their business plans that have been an influence, also Arsenal.
    Maybe Usmanov would like the idea of being more influencal than he is at Arsenal, and for less outlay. All without 'moving' from London.
    I'm obviously guessing. But hey, a man can dream.....
    Ah... schoolboy error...sunglasses smiley face or B followed by a bracket?
    Hang your head!
