Just popping out now, so I'm back in time for the 'phone call.
Once I've signed off the statement it can go on the OS.
Looks like an Avatar change needed again......
The Union Jack on your avatar is back to front......inexcusable. Thick white band should be top left to pole........to the Tower with you! Came as close as you can there to getting a flag from me.

So now Angeldust (don't know who he is but meant to be ITK), @Redhenry and @nth london addick all saying something has been or is happening.
Angeldust and Airman Brown appear to have both heard about the 30 plus issues found in DD.
So even if you hate/envy/don't trust @Airman Brown and refuse to give what he says any credance there are other voices, unconnected to him, saying very similar things.
Could all be lies made up by Angeldust, Redhenry and NLA to sell their fanzines or it could be that they are telling the truth as they know it.
Could be that certain sources saying "nothing is happening" aren't telling the "whole truth and nothing but the truth". Could be good reasons for that. An NDA in place, negotiations at delicate stage or maybe they just haven't been told. Or maybe they don't trust their beard so are keeping them in the dark.
Who knows? Will we ever know? Does it matter? The club badly needs new and fresh ownership with ambition and the money to realise that ambition, it needs to tap into the energy, and wallets, of the fan base again and it needs to recognise the power of the club's history. If that happens, sooner or later, then we as fans all benefit.
Will that much needed takeover come this week? this month? This year? this season? Will it be the current lot who have clearly spent time and money going through the process of DD if they have found 30+ issues? No way of knowing that as as @Redhenry has said there is more than one party interested. Will they step in if the first party drop out? Maybe they have already walked away.
I remain, as I was from the start, cautiously optimistic. That there are talks is positive but it means nothing until a deal is done.
Had to skip the last 10 pages to catch up with the thread. Anything actually happening or can I put the party poppers away?
Nowt has happened. Douch has turned up again to see if he can wind either Henry or The Airman up.
hope it's true but my source says it isn't and he is party to the inner sanctum - im not the one who has people wound up about a takeover although I appreciate the likes of airman and Irving hate the thought that somebody knows more than them which is quite amusing
@DOUCHER out of interest mate, what exactly was it that your source said 'isn't true' ?
Rumours RD is prepared to sell / the club is up for sale? That there is buying interest? DD process being undertaken / has concluded? Post-DD negotiation is taking place?
What isn't true ? My reading of when you posted this was a generic 'there's nothing happening and all these rumours are a load of bull', which may well be the case, but I'm interested in being clear whether that was what your source was saying. Cheers
STVV is about to be sold to Japanese DMM.com. Roland Duchâtelet takes away from his team. Striking because he has other clubs in the portfolio. Although it does not seem to be long to go.
The chance is that we will not see the seventy-year-old businessman much more in the football world. According to Het Nieuwsblad, Duchâtelet has become footballmoe. He is therefore planning to sell all the clubs in his portfolio in a short period of time.
STVV is the first to sell. A good price was offered by the Japanese investors at the Limburg club. The Kanaries would still be held by Japanese DMM.com this week. The other clubs of Duchâtelet; Charlton Athletic, Carl Zeiss Jena and Alcorcon are on offer. He just has to find another correct buyer, or right price, for those clubs.
Question is: why does Roland Duchâtelet STVV completely out of hand and his other foreign clubs do not? To date, he is also the owner of Charlton Athletic, Carl Zeiss Jena and Alcorcon. The reason seems simple: for STVV a good price was offered. The other clubs will also be sold within a relatively short time span, because Duchâtelet is a football game. It is only waiting for the right buyer to be found for the other teams (read: the right price).
For the sake of clarity: the nv Stayen remains in the hands of Duchâtelet. The stadium, which is currently building a brand new stand, does not move to DMM. The Japanese will therefore have to cope with a rent to play STVV at Stayen.

Absolutely. All we need is for Roland to understand that if you buy a car then repeatedly drive it into a wall it actually goes down in value and this should be all done in time for Christmas.

Frankly, since he took over I think we've all become a bit Footballmoe.

What isn't true ? My reading of when you posted this was a generic 'there's nothing happening and all these rumours are a load of bull', which may well be the case, but I'm interested in being clear whether that was what your source was saying. Cheers
My source has told a family member of mine (who happens to be a long standing supporter and somebody who has done a lot over the years to help the club in times of trouble, not a 'Beard' as Henry so condescendingly puts it - but that's his way so lets leave it at that), I think the words were 'it's a non story and nothing is happening'. I would no more make that up than any of those who are saying it is happening. I've offered that info up to the board and got a bit of abuse for it probably because people think I have an agenda - I don't and never have had. If you say something that goes against the grain you are accused of being a WUM - that's fine but probably isn't conducive to people coming on here and offering up what might be seen as unwanted information.

In Japan football stadiums are owned by the city or prefectural government and/or their operating company. J-League teams are just tenants and I assume not owning the stadium is much less of an issue for the new Japanese owners as that's how it's done at home.
By and large encouraging reports. Curious that neither report mentions Újpest.
