    In my opinion it is all over for now.
    Next lot of rumours will start at the end of the season.
    Hopefully I am wrong.

    Pretty simple question, are the Americans in or out? If they are out is it over?

    In out in out, shake it all about...

    Where did the money for Jonny Williams come from if we’re not being taken over?

    I cant believe my luck. I’ve just literally bumped into a couple of Australians in a walkabout pub (unbelievable Jeff) and I asked them about the Charlton takeover situation. They said something about a Bruce yanking the Roos tail (must be code for the American/Aussie consortium) and then vomited something about Hughie and getting the Farquhar. Again, cos I’m clever me thinks these could be the big backers.
    And so chappies and chappiesesse me thinks it’s imminent and it’s happening!

    Next stop is the Kebab shop...I’ll ask there too.

    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.

    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.
