I still maintain that there are no other bidders / suiters / idiots (delete where applicable) apart from the Aussies. There has not been any credible evidence of anyone else - no leaks, no info, no "ITK" rumours - just what LDT & RM want us to believe. More lies.
I can't help but think had we gone up through the play offs last season we'd have been sold by now. We would have been far more attractive to buy.
Nobody wants to buy a third tier team losing £10m a year at the price RD is reportedly asking. At least had we made it to The Championship the riches of The Premier League would have likely enticed someone to do a deal at RD's price.
As it stands we're probably 2 years minimum away from The Championship, god help us how many years if we get relegated this season.
Roland has to factor in that risk - he is not going to get anywhere near what he could get today, if that happens! Arguably, the club will become worthless! Some people say he is doing what he is doing to spite us, but I think that is ridiculous. His personal wealth means he can try to polish the turd for his own ego, which we all know is massive. Any good businessman would get shot whilst there is an opportunity to do so. But he knows that he will still be rich when this is over, whatever happens. If this wasn't the case, he'd be gone already!
Saying Man City copied his idea is more than bordering on insanity - it is a million miles across the border! He may have had some merit in his idea but the execution was crap. You could argue a club like Watford had a similar approach, but when the opportunity arose, they went for it. I think there were opportunities, even in the year we went down early doors, but Roland was too tight to realise them. Because of this, it is hard to see how he could ever have made a success of it!
Just 2 days including today until the Lookman transfer deadline and the takeover can start to go ahead ? Or is that absolutely nothing to do with it whatsoever ?

“It’ll be done once we know what division we’re in”
“It’ll be done after Konsa is sold”
Which of your options do you think is more likely?

The second one...am I right ?
We’ll find out next week
If I’m not that means it happened before Konsa was sold...
Sadly there's only one direction we are going in under the Rat and that's; down, down, deeper and down (never mind all these boy bands can't beat a bit of Quo).
Foxtrot Oscar Roland you sad excuse for a decent human being.
I had one of the partners from Mishcon de Reya in my cab today. I quizzed her but she said she knew nothing about the takeover although if she did, she wouldn’t be able to say anything. One day one of my passengers will get me ITK

I look forward to the day when I finally have some exclusive, and incredibly important information on the takeover
Is there any new ITK’s out there we can request an update from every hour, say I told you so too, moan at when it goes quiet and repost quotes from months back when feeling pretentious?
I was thinking about my old school mate today. Back in 1978 we were a struggling Second Division club and he was at The Valley after having undergone three blood transfusions during the week he lost his battle against Leukaemia.
Never to see beyond his teens, Charlton kept him going and gave him extra strength to fight to fight to see the club he loved. He missed our glory years in the top flight. It was just a pipe dream back then that we might get up there again.
I can't help but think that if he had survived that even his devotion to the club would be sorely tested in the last few years. I obviously can't know but I know that Roland just wouldn't understand what drove him on, he simply doesn't get the passion a true football fan has.

One Direc Tion
But surely the joining players must ask about the possible takeover and this is covered off some how.
BTW, I have a job lot of rose tinted spectacles and half full glasses going cheap if anybody's interested.

Next week could be interesting if it becomes a factor
I reckon it'll come when we reach page 1765
