What upsets me most about this thread is the fact that all of you have forgotten Cuddles the monkey so easily.
If I remember rightly, Cuddles was quite a rude primate.
Taken from Wiki:
"Cuddles the Monkey was one half of Keith Harris's puppet act, the sidekick and nemesis of Orville the Duck. The monkey was orange, with a blue face. He wore a white shirt collar and blue tie, and his catchphrase was "I hate that duck". In the TV show actress Ruth Verrall played the part of Cuddles when movement was needed. "

I though Harris was working for the club to sell it?
I think you’ll find brokers work for themselves. The perception is they work for the buyer I but doubt if Harris would be concerned if he ended up bringing someone else in. His name was mentioned before the Aussies surfaced.
Dr Harris is a serious player in the football takeover world.
He is the Alex Ferguson of football takeovers (not the Guy Luzon).
And he is working for the Australian/American consortium.
That alone suggests to me that they can afford that type of broker and that they are taking this seriously.
And the fact that Harris said ‘Aussies will be good for us if they can get it over the line’ is encouraging.
Well if they're paying Harris by the hour and he only gets his dough when they finally get it over the line I can see why he thinks it will be good for him.

Fella will never have to work again!
I heard he was getting a seven figure sum, but he’ll get it on completion. I doubt he’s paid per hour.

Ooh I think you’ll find he gets paid no matter who buys the club.
And wouldn’t he be on a percentage rather than being paid hourly?

Working for is probably the wrong word, but he is trying to sell the club, regardless of who the buyer is.

Surely Gérard Murphy is acting for the Aussie and Harris finding bidders for RD, hence his knowledge that it's a one horse race. Why would Oz group need two brokers?
Well at least there are some potential fresh questions to ask LDT at the FF on 20th February.
For example the reps could ask if the hold up is really just due to the Australian consortium finalising their structure and submitting the appropriate paperwork to the EFL, or is it also because there are ongoing negotiations around potential sharing of sell on fees? Therefore, isn't it misleading for LDT to indicate a price really is agreed?
I can imagine Harris would not be too popular with the club as am sure his name would end up being quoted as the source.

Was Harris the broker for the acquisition of The Liverpool Echo?

But also don’t risk Roland going batshit about breaking the NDA and pulling the plug like with the Forest fella
They were a piece of piss compared to this one.
