If the Australian’s have “gone” and I’m not saying they havn’t. Surely the club ought to be making an announcement. The only reason I can see not is if CAFC are preferring to say nothing in order to gain leverage on any other lunatic interested parties.
Agreed, but surely the Aussies would put out a statement if it was definitely off ?
It isn’t off.
Jim. how do you know, it isn't off ?
Well unless something has changed since Saturday?
Golfie’s about right with his assessment above though. I’m never going to know why there are delays, because they won’t tell me. But they will confirm it’s still on when I harass them yet again ;-)
Can’t do that on a daily basis though.
Basically Jimbo, GM’s replies to your repeated question appears exactly the same as when Mrs AFKA repeatedly asks me over months “am I going to sort out the shed?”.
It is going to happen. But it won’t be today. And it probably won’t be this week.
FFS AFKA SORT YOUR SHED SO THE TAKEOVER CAN BE FINALISED!
Seventeen days is in my opinion the new deadline. If it’s not over the line by 31st August why would anyone want to complete until January and suffer the monthly costs with no real way of influencing anything.
In the takeover prediction thread I predicted 1st January 2019. More as an attempt at humour but it’s starting to look like a decent shout.

except that you can appoint a CEO, CFO etc etc, set budgets for player acquisitions in January, start sounding out potential signings ( via agents of course ;-) ), sort out other issues at the Club, engage with the fans properly and generally start running the Club as a proper Club. Wait till January and this season is definitely fucked.

doesn't really matter anymore. They really can affect this season now until January & by then the season is half way done and buying players in January usually means inflated prices as selling clubs know you're desperate (and in this case maybe having money)
Also RD can't do much more damage. Once we get past Aug 31st RD can't get rid of any players & currently its only to foreign teams anyway......only really Bauer now would attract interest from overseas.
Yes, but the damage to my sanity in the next few months matters to me
Well at least it is doubtful that he can get rid of Fosu, Pearce , Clarke and Reeves so things can only get better when they are fit.
But with only 6 players contracted after this season, those who will be out of contract can speak to other clubs from January, alongside a likely Roland fire sale.
Are you serious? There’s plenty of life in this old horse yet. OK we’ve had poetry but no-one has touched on opera yet. There have been house, car and shop selling analogies, but at no point has anyone likened the sale of the club to a surrogate pregnancy, and subsequent sale of the child. I’m looking forward to the next 1000 pages.

Wind Up Alert are you actually flaming serious? roly can't do much more damage? what the shining eff are you on? how much more damage do you think is required? fwiw that septic deceitful cash grabbing lunatic will have plenty more up his sleeve that's ruinous to our once great club

Ajose, Djiksteel?, possibly Ventokele if he can get through a medical

Are you serious? There’s plenty of life in this old horse yet. OK we’ve had poetry but no-one has touched on opera yet. There have been house, car and shop selling analogies, but at no point has anyone likened the sale of the club to a surrogate pregnancy, and subsequent sale of the child. I’m looking forward to the next 1000 pages.

Not to mention the many and varied tangents of which the 17th century Belgian ambassador was a particular favourite of mine although I would perhaps question that it would have been Flanders at the Court of St James in the 17th century rather than Belgium which only came into being in the early 19th century.
See what fun can be had - cue puns based on late medieval and/or post-medieval historical research and/or the Simpsons (Ned Flanders - geddit!).
no, this can run and run and beats the hell out of reading endless and desperate clutching at straws posts about a takeover (sorry AFKB).

Surely the ambassador would have been a representative of the Habsburg King of Spain, rather than anyone representing Flanders.
They passed to Habsburg Austria in 1715.
Interestingly enough, or possibly not, 16th Century Spain considered Irish people to be equivalent to native-born subjects, for the first half of the Century, the Habsburg lands were probably the most attractive destination for (mostly Gaelic) Irish seeking careers and distinction, and fleeing the consolidation of the various Plantations of Ireland (a Government policy which we can all agree has led to nothing but joy and happiness all round in the succeeding Centuries).

Paulie will start a new one.
My garden looked like that last week. Luckily it has rained over the weekend .
