I reckon The AA haven't enough to purchase & run the club for 5 years and the English/Brits are waiting for them/RD to give up on them, before offering a lower price.
Yes. As I said earlier. Jim White unwittingly doing Roland’s bidding the other day tends to point that he is getting itchy.
So if the Aussies have no money, what’s holding up the British group?
I have never had any info on them or If they were even British but If I am honest I’d say the chance that if they sit tight the deal would become sweeter once the Aussie bid failed
The latest news about the Americans may have been just enough for them to believe the door was shutting
This is also my reasoning for not thinking this was all doom and gloom when it looked like jim white was the latest victim

Funny you say that, I read that ( EFL thing) between the lines on one comment
Can I say many thanks @Henry Irving.......esp with dropping my name into your posts too...
Still nowhere nearer knowing what the feck is going on but I think its safe to say it won't be happening this transfer window.
Just can't fathom out why TWO completely different groups have been trying to buy us for over a year yet neither have managed to complete the deal. Beyond bizarre.
Was right about JW. Said he was being fed a line. Seems like the brits didn't buy it either.

I don't trust RD, but he has said the purchase price isn't the issue, it's the running costs. (I/we of course know if the asking price was lower, they would have more to fund the running costs).
I'm sure I remember someone insinuating that there were allegedly some issues around the legality of certain things when RD purchased the club, relating to the spivs. Does anyone recall this and as far as we know has that been resolved? I just can't think what would mean multiple groups of purchasers need to be so silent on everything
Thank you Henry Irving for pushing the questions forward and sharing, also thanks to the likes of James, Airman, JBlock and anyone else who shares what they hear. It's more information than I would find out myself so I appreciate any sort of update.
From what I gather it just sounds like everyone is waiting for someone to make the first move almost and each party are trying to get the best/cheapest deal possible, Jim White clearly used for his media presence and as usual us lot are left feeling a bit hopeless again.
Ah well, just going to enjoy the rest of the season now and hopefully the takeover just happens out of the blue rather than this false hope bollocks again

Yes I remember it, but no one ever knew what it was about, as far as I know.

That would be my theory if there was the same reason why both groups had not completed.
My hunch though is it’s different reasons. For the Aussies, i suspect it’s due to the own inability to get their own ducks in a row, for the Brits, my hunch is because one of their key ducks current involvement with another club means at this point they would not be allowed by the EFL to proceed. The reason why both have been content to have a backdrop of dual ‘continuing interest without exclusivity’ is neither having confidence in the other to be in a position to get over the line.
I think running costs is a euphemism here as we all know one of the main costs of the club related to the panic level contracts handed out as the club was run by shite managers and Katrien.
Unfortunately we can’t afford championship wages if we are in League 1, but we also can’t afford to let all our players who are championship standard leave at the end of the year.

I don’t think anyone’s saying the Aussies have no money.
Happy to have the Brits, but would be gutted to get Mike Ashley.

That’s my left field guess.
