  • Just left the meeting.

    I was standing in for @killerjerrylee as Bromley Addicks rep.

    Some interesting snippets but no huge revaluations.

    More later as now driving home.

    Sounds totally underwhelming....as always.
    Chin up buddy don’t let it grind you down the boys are doing the business on the pitch right now silver linings and all that
  • So, bear with me.

    The club were producing their minutes as I left.

    I, and others, asked many of the questions raised her (even Golfie's) and pushed for answers. Some we got, some we didn't.

    Of the five groups mentioned last time effectively three are still in the game. The European group didn't follow up on their contact although LDT wasn't saying it's over.

    4th group (world wide) didn't produce proof of funds.

    5th group seem imho to be outsiders but more likely than 2 or 3 started DD but not finished.

    So that leaves the two front runners of the the Aussies/US group and the unknown Brits.

    Interestingly I asked if Richard Murray was part of this group and was told "no, but he knows them"

    RM was due to attend tonight but had to pull out this morning. He and Steve Gallen should be at the next full meeting.

    The news via Jim White made the Brits "nervous" and according to LDT they still want to close the deal.

    There is no exclusivity for any group and whoever is "1st to complete the deal gets the club"

    The deal remains for the entirity of the club so all the assets, ground, training ground etc.

    What about the 70 million dollar question?

    IMO this was the purpose of white being spun a yarn
    I have to say, it does make me wonder.
  • So essentially, potential buyers are interested but not coming up with enough money / Jim White talks shite / Roland doesn’t seem to care if he sells the club or not .... all he knows is Peter Varney is certainly not getting any piece of any action ... and so it goes round and round and round

    Fits the Course that RD has taken throughout his reign

    He drops messages out to smoke out what he sees as rats from within

    He then puts fake news out there via multiple sources to see if people are serious players and to raise the price

    And he gets to have a little bit of a laugh at those (us) who have embarrassed him

  • The “Brits” have been around for a long time. If they “still want to close the deal” why havn’t they been able to do so ?

    Precisely.
    If it isn't bad enough that the Aussies seem to be scrobbling around like amateurs for months on end trying to scrape together a deal, then the only serious rumoured competition appears to be hiding behind a cupboard frozen rigid with inertia.
    For chrissake shit or get off the bog

    It's almost as if there could be some blame attached to the seller
    There is that :smile:
  • Thanks Henry... so basically JW has been fed BS and fallen for it and we are exactly at the same stage as last year. He is never ever ever going to sell.

  • Any more HI ?
  • Will there be a more formal set of notes produced by CAST, including the (solicited) questions and official answers?
  • So it's now an Aussie led consortium containing at least one yank.
  • Any more HI ?

    I'm waiting for my flag removal and promotes
    So we appear to be no closer than we ever were?
  • RD has clearly fed JW some bullshit to try to force the brits into making a bid.
