I cannot think of any other club that has gone through what we have in the last 4 years!!! The Arsenal fans moaning about Wenger, Newcastle fans moaning about Mike Ashley .....nothing in comparison to us!
In fairness I still think Blackpool is worse. But we now are clear second. That is how Blackpool see us - as well as being the most resolute campaigners.
Saying it’s not true isn’t enough we need to know the actual truth too
We do but they won’t have the full picture, which is why they want to meet the club. I am quite confident now there is a gap between what the Aussies are wiling to pay and what he wants.

The Aussies, and any other serious buyer on the planet, I would say.

What, if anything, can the EFL do about that though?

Nothing but they can’t allow the current level of disarray either.

And what about the mystery second party? Can the EFL confirm if they actually exist?
If we want to independently get in touch with the EFL to register our concerns does anyone have best contact details ? Perhaps a few dozen e mails or letters might tweak their interest particularly as this is now getting quite a lot of media coverage.

Needs a concrete statement rejecting the club’s assertion without room for interpretation/wriggle room
It does seem like things are coming to a head this week, with each additional development increasing the pressure on Duchatelet. He now has the national media, the EFL, the fans, the club staff and political adversaries (both foreign in ROT, and domestic in local MP and councilors) on his case.
If the EFL has no current issues with the Aussie documents (two separate sources confirming as much now) then the club is lying when it states that the Aussies are still to submit documents to the EFL, or at the very list obfuscating.
As others have said, this smacks of Duchatelet holding out for every penny he can get but not wanting to admit that openly, with it being far easier to blame the 'Aussies' for the delay than himself. To do so would be a tacit admission of failure and desperation on his part, and the guy is so egocentric and obdurate when it comes to his own self worth and intelligence that he would avoid that at all costs.
My worry is that he is quite capable of letting this continue on for a good while yet, regardless of the damage to the club in the interim. He simply does not care about the club in all of this, the people, the fans, none of it. Just his bank balance.

I posted above. If the club is lying then why havn’t the Aussies called him out on it ? My guess is because that statement is agreed by both parties. We really need to find out why.

I’m sure they could come up with a “bringing the game into disrepute” charge if the club was deliberately lying about the EFLs position in this.

More likely that there is an NDA in place stopping the Aussies making any statement that is not signed off by RD.

Well we know via JamesSeed that there is a NDA in place, but that does not explain why the club can say something but the Aussies cannot as it would cover the actions of bother parties. So I think you could well be right with what you say above. If that is so, then this make no sense at all.

Can’t see an NDA holding up if the other party were deliberately spreading lies about the other. It’s probably illegal. It’s why I think the Aussies are complicit
Do the Australians have funds? Could this be the hold up, is the asking price too high? If they do buy the club, will they have money to turn things around?
Why dont Roland and his lackies just say that then... Of course they wont know the details yet all they need to say is: "The issue is with the Aussies" and thats it, its off their plate and the buck isnt passed to the EFL
The way Airman's source has spoken makes it sound as though its Roland holding something up his end
I know a few on here that would like to shove something up his end!
It seems we have:- 1. Ozzies haven't the funds 2. It's with EFL 3. EFL have rejected someone 4. Arguing over price 5. Ozzies have scarpered 6. Directors' loans need settling
Can the moderators do a countback, declare a winner and close the thread. I have already wasted months of my life reading speculative rubbish here.

They won’t, but I’m sure it’s possible.
Yes, CAFC's been shafted but there's Blackpool, Orient, Coventry, Sunderland... (and not quite on the same scale: Forest, Birmingham, Leeds, Villa...
And I'm sure there are four or five obvious ones I've forgotten
1. Ozzies haven't the funds
2. It's with EFL
3. EFL have rejected someone
4. Arguing over price
5. Ozzies have scarpered
6. Directors' loans need settling
