    Bowyer has a budget, but I would be surprised if we are paying very much if anything for Williams.

    Probably free and using Wards wages.

    Thought I saw somewhere that we've basically picked up the remainder of his existing contract. Assume that Palace are probably paying some of his salary - doubt we are paying it all.

    If he still owns us come the summer best we prepare for most of the out of contract players to walk,unless of course we somehow gain promotion

    It's very plausible but think that was Airman's take on it, haven't seen anything official though.

    seriously though. is it all over? we are basing this on 1 comment from airman.


    Nope I don’t think it’s off , I don’t think anything has changed substantially from last week


    I believe white was fed some very credible information because they knew he would tell the world.

    This is very much the last throws of one of the two parties trying to get the lay remaining pound note either on the sale or taken off

    I believe that people were shown around and introduced to people as the new owners

    I just don’t believe the money part has ever been proven and as such RD won’t budge from his 40-50 mil asking price

    The directors loans are irrelevant in the whole thing for me as I think the buyer would be happy to repay the 7mil upon reaching the premier

    I don’t believe the asking price is the issue as you would just walk away if you were not getting anywhere near the amount you were willing to spend

    I don’t believe RD is stuck on 50 mil either I reckon it’s closer to 30 mil

    But that’s my own thoughts it’s not anything other than speculation and guess work




    Closes thread, waits for NLAs next post.

    I think you'll find Australia are something like 12 hrs in front of us and New York about 5 hrs behind.

    So if ive got this straight, we could be moving from a billionaire owner who isnt prepared to invest, to Australian owners who havent got any money to invest, and who have had to raise the money by selling the freehold to third party American money men.

    I cant really see this being any great improvement.

    It would be far, far worse.
    The other thing that worries me is why are the Australians working so hard to buy us? They arent fans, theres no huge financial reward, theres any number of clubs that are suitable (and probably cheaper) unless they have found a previously unknown diamond mine under the carpark, or struck oil when doing the survey I cant see what their motivation is.
    I've said this many times, just doesn't make sense how a year later they're still trying to buy us & now it seems are prepared to become tenants. This could actually turn out worse than being owned by douchebag & I never thought that was possible. :-(

    The Aussies probably couldn’t have afforded the time off work.

    Yeah: I can't afford it and I won't be able to for the foreseeable future. Sorry.

    Everyone should calm down. NLA is the one speaking sense. Airman knows about the same as the rest of us, we need to be patient and see what happens.

    I would think that he got a nice pay off from Palace for the remaining 6 months of his contract meaning that we could offer something acceptable to him that was within Bowyer’s budget. Currently it’s being funded by the loss of Steer and Ward’s wages. I reckon there will be no more incomings before outgoings. If the takeover has floundered again I expect a couple of sales too especially if Roland can get a fee, any fee, for those out of contract in the summer.

    MuttleyCAFC said:

    He is on good terms with Palace - he has 6 months to go where it is clear he won't figure for them. It is logical for him to put himself in the shop window. Charlton are a good option as he will get games with us and he probably doesn't have to move for which will only be a six month move. I would expect Palace are paying most of teh money, if not all of it under the circumstances. Not to do us a favour, but to help Williams further his career.

    He is no longer under contract to Palace though.
  • BigRedEvilBigRedEvil
    Maybe Palace gave him a lump sum to pay up the final 6 months.
