Doesn't that contradict what Airman said the other day?
American money, based on holding the assets. Australian control, based on owning the football club. However, the same source says the Americans will now back off.

how does that work? American company buy the ground and training facilities and aussie company buy the club?

FWiW I think JW knows more than he is letting on or able to say. However to nail down the "next 12 hours" to me means talks sometime this evening?
Mate. He knows pretty much f*** all. Just like the rest of us
Oh....you know that do you? Pure speculation on your part.
I'm just making a considered opinion on what the bloke just said which was pretty much nothing. It very much sounds to me like he's been sold a pup. This whole bloody thread is pure speculation.

Sounds like it to me.
This doesn't sound good. The Americans to own the appreciating assets and the Aussies to own the loss making "assets".

Doesn't sound ideal... and feeds into the idea the aussies either couldn't afford or wouldn't pay the price for the valley and sparrows lane. Also makes me wonder what the americans would get out the deal?

So if the Americans are backing off, where does that leave the takeover?

So you potentially have a messy split within the consortium? i.e. Bolton.

I don’t think it stacks up because of RD’s valuation.

How many people have now pulled out of the Australian consortium? In the event that they are successful in taking over the club I would be worried that another Kevin Cash situation could unfold. Seems to be a number of individuals interested one minute only to back off at a later stage.

Americans get the land in London which will appreciate in value, with little to no risk. I know they can't develop it, but it's still an increasing asset, in the same way a valuable painting increases in value, without doing anything to it.

which makes me quite worried. It's removing an appreciating asset from the club. Not good whatever way you want to spin it.

Never has,especially when buyers want clean title. Roland will have to buy out Ex Directors if a deal is to be done, and from what I have heard they have not been approached since low ball bid last year.
That doesn't fill me with much confidence, especially with future capital projects like the training ground rebuild or improvements at The Valley. You want one clear voice making such decisions, not two parties who might have different opinions

As I understand it the loans must be repaid if we ever get back to the Premier League, or at any time before then at the club's call?
In terms of valuation then it matters not whether or not the loans are paid off by RD or by the new owners upon taking control. Club with clean title £x million, Club without clean title £x-7 million. So it could still be sold by RD without talking to the ex-directors and become clean title very quickly after takeover.
That's if clean title is essential - if it isn't then they could buy the club for £7 million less than a clean title agreed valuation and leave the charges in tact.
I'm pretty sure it isn't the outstanding charges that is stopping the sale.
