    Just to lay the rumours to rest once and for all; I don't have the money either.

    Nah. You just don’t want to spend it

  • It’s only about money that’s the only delay

    Nothing to do with EFL addicted passed that info on weeks ago

    It’s all down to money

    I don’t believe they have the funds they agreed to pay that’s why they are delaying

    It may be they have lowered the offer and RD is playing hard ball

    Either way they either don’t have it or are unwilling to spend it

    The other interested parties are miles away from getting close

    Directors ain’t been paid off or even an agreement reached so it’s not about clear tittles

    It’s just money money money money

    Quite and it suits both RD & The Aussies, to pin the delay on paperwork needing to be done/submitted.

    RD benefits because if it gets out that the Aussies haven't got the money, then it weakens RD's position.

    The Aussies benefit because they would also rather blame a paperwork delay, rather than admit they don't have the funds.
    As I’ve said a few times, they definitely had the funds on 18th May.
    But it looks like a couple of the consortium thought Roland was ripping them off over the pice.
    So we wait for desperate Roland to admit that his dream of getting his money back isn’t going to come true.

  • The only thing I want, is for the Aussies finally to complete the takeover at the price that they feel is suitable.

    And then fund a massive transfer spree with money won in a legal battle with Roland, because of his side breaching NDA terms.

    Pretty clear any takeover is off.

    Fans will abandon hope, and the club with it, or continue to fight as best they can.

    This will probably end with the closure of the club altogether, or if we are very lucky indeed administration and some kind of rescue package.

    The question from now on is do we die with a whimper, or if we are destined to die do we go with a bang?

    Collectively and individually I hope fans are able to mark the closing down of the club as dramatically as possible.

    Duchatelet will remain and oversee our death, no rescue of any kind in sight. Those who deliberately or innocently have a different narrative are being manipulated because of the triumph of time.

    Not a chance ... this is far from over, OUR club will get through this.

    There is NO death
    Of course I hope you're right.
    Not sure I will live to see it though.

    Not off, just on hold until Duchatelet lowers his asking price. At some point he’s going to have to cut his losses. What other alternatives are there apart from some mug agreeing to pay in excess if £40m
    MrDick given Oz 5 year plan will cost £150m-£200m how much do you think RD will need to discount to facilitate a deal? He has already lost about £20m by under-valuing Gomez and Lookman by selling them too soon. The Oz lot could make similar mistakes, hopefully not of that magnitude. What part of 'the price has been agreed' do you not understand?
    @harveys_gardener No need to be rude. Of course I understand that a fee has been agreed. My opinion / gut feeling is the Aussies are playing a waiting game until Duchatelet lowers the price.
    I am not being rude MrDick, just taking to task people who regurgitate 'gut feelings' as facts or opinions without any evidence or logic. I have put forward theories like a Lookman delay but backed it with a reasoned argument.

    "hello hello hello ,is anyone there ???????"

    Except that both the club and the ELF were happy that they had the funds.

    Helloooooooooooooo?

    And more importantly to me, I believed GM when he told me.

    But a couple of the consortium thought Roland's price was too high. So we wait until another buyer comes along, or he lowers his price, or both. (My speculation here of course).

    You may have believed him. I could not possibly comment.

    He did say hits. And quite a few of those are cover versions. Did Gagey mean songs written by the Beach Boys, but not BW?

    I dunno. But I am happy that the time it took to look them up meant we are ten minutes closer to the takeover...
