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

    I don't mind it. Work is dead atm so gives me something to do during the day.

    If these so called buyers are quibbiling over the price then I do not want them to buy the club. The difference between 40 and 60 million is neither here nor there when they are going to have to fund losses of 10 million a year just to keep the team standing still, if they can not afford to do this then we are better off with out them.

    The difference between £40 and £60 million is as you put it two years losses. That’s not insignificant by anyone’s reckoning.

    Agree with that, but the difference between £40m and £47m is a bit more workable (assuming that is one of the sticking points, not sure what Harvey Gardener thinks?), specially if they could've come to a deal and then it becomes even more insignificant, looking at the bigger picture
  • So those difficult two weeks are nearly over, so where's the thing it was worth waiting for?

    For several weeks I have been watching the comments on this thread about page number milestones. Would the sale go through by page 1000? Page 1100? Page 1111? Obviously each of these were passed without a change of ownership.

    But it struck me that the important milestone - for me, at least - is closer to home. I now have 9,251 CL points. 749 more and the sale will go through.

    FACT.

    Update: 9,425 now. So we are only 575 CL Points away from the deal going through. FACT.

  • Does dishing out flag add points then?
  • Does dishing out flag add points then?

    Not sure. I'll look into it.
  • Pretty sure you'd already know
  • Something weird going on. Been a growing number of posts on this thread attacking the aussies and telling them to pay millions more than the club is clearly worth or walk away from posters with very little posting history.

    Russian trolls!

    Do they also get smaller and smaller?
    Yes, and you never know what bullshit is inside the next one!
  • Still dont get the hatred towards the Aussies. What have they done that is so bad? We need to remember that Roland is involved which will make the entire process a drawn out mess.

    Using buying a car as an example, you go to a show room, look around, put in an offer, negotiate and agree the price. Put down a deposit and agree a timescale Of say 3 days to sort insurance, paperwork, tax, garage to service and clean etc. Then collect and drive away.

    If Roland was selling the car, he wouldn’t take it off the market once a price has been agreed, he wouldn’t realise it needed tax and insurance, lost the mot paperwork etc. All of a sudden, two weeks instead of 3 days!!!

    Has any here bought a football club? Has any here bought a football club off of Roland? I’m equally as frustrated at the time taken but I’m blaming Roland and his merry band of f**ktards and nobody else. He didn’t realise he owed directors £7m! Surely that has put a major spanner in the works time wise.

    What about a house?
    Or shop
