Muir is now the only Australian investor, which suggests they are in no position to complete, but the party who walked away after being quoted more than £70m before Christmas are now back at the table.
Just to be clear are you saying the consortium now only has 1 Australian in it I.e. Muir plus the Americans who are currently non commital at this time? In other words the original consortium is now down to Muir ?
Or are there other known other members still involved?

Muir the only Australian investor left.
Is he alone when it comes to commitment to financial investment in that particular consortium?

Shocking if true and when you consider Murphy was literally asking all and sundry to get financially involved with his project.
He even asked me!!
I guess people started to see through his little plan. I think he has his heart in the right place. His brain is not necessarily fully engaged though.

That’s my interpretation, but I’m not certain.
What is apparent is that Muir is still keen, but he’s not going to do it on his own. That’s never been his aim.

Am I right in thinking that it was Usmanov who was quoted £70m previously?
I know about Usmanov, and I am 90% certain it wasn't him, since the timeline isn't right and my understanding is that he never took it beyond the initial read of a basic sale document.
Don’t believe it is Usmanov.
Can you disclose the nationality of the consortium back at the table?

The Aussie consortium is a lot less complicated. It's just Muir but he's still around.
There is group of unknown origin who LDT said he hadn't fobbed off by saying the price was £70m+ before Christmas but who are back at the table. But who blinked first, them or LDT?
There may be a British group but still no one seems to know who they are or if they still real players or just a convenient tool to try and drive up the price.
Keith Harris has re-emerged as a broker for the Aussie deal and appears to have been the source for the Jim White "he's gone" stories as well as a great "guess who I had in the back of my cab?" Scoop for taxi-lad.
Duchatelet, who has been putting off any investment in player contracts or paying staff bonuses while cutting any other costs he can find, thinks he can leave the club in a mess but still get a slice of future success. He's said to be asking for future payments based on sell on fees for Lookman, Gomez et all and possibly payments on promotion to the championship and even, incredibly, the premier league.
Meanwhile, Bowyer had he legs pulled from under him when Grant was sold but not adequately replaced in the January window. The manager seems less positive of late and questioned whether even an out of contract player would be funded by the irrational Belgium rat.

Assumed so, thanks Airman. Sounds like we're back to square one with the Aussies at least.
It seems to suggest he stopped being involved and has now become involved again. Whereas, what seems more likely is that he has been involved with one (probably not more than one) consortium since the very beginning.
I’ve just read 8 more pages and it is no closer and nobody knows anything new apart from shit they are being feed, I would say what Henry says but I am dyslexic and can’t remember all of the letters.

Perhaps not. Too many cooks can spoil the broth.
Well, he needs to find some partners from somewhere. All this 'could be next week' stuff can be translated as 'could be next week...if Muir can find investors willing to partner up with him.'
At the moment it doesn't sound like he's anywhere near that.
So Duchatelet isn't spitful or is a fan of Schadenfreude according to the big hitters on CL, He is just a Pragmatic old money bags playing the long game.
How reassuring to know it was nothing personal when we start the 20/21 season in League two with about 4 of the present squad.

Can you not (using your special skills @Airman) introduce Muir to the new lot? That way they can form a consortium, the risk can be spread and we can all be happy.
Group hug everyone ... anyone?
The problem is that owners tend to mad egotistical maniacs who don't like hugging. Oh for a consortium of local businessmen.

Hence re-emerged
"Is" would be more appropriate than "re-emerged" though. It implies he emerged, disappeared and then emerged again, which is not, I think, what happened.

Are we there yet?
