    Seems to think £30m would do it, not sure if that’s just him applying the same logic as any other sane person or maybe he knows this ‘more’ yet to come out. https://twitter.com/reluctantnicko/status/1103722479753850880?s=21

    Reallisically Rat has one option. Take a haircut and lose SOME money, or hit the buffers and lose ALL of his money (in the club). Astute business men/women will sit tight. The silly old Twunt just won't accept this.
  • MelroseMelrose
    Sorry 2 options!

    I'm looking forward to the South Sea Bubble, or is that the name of one of the Aussie bidders?

    Roland won’t sell to a foreigner. The EFL won’t let it happen.
    Why ?

    Hope Roland takes the box 📦 and when he opens it, it has 1p in it.

    Amanda Staveley??? 
    She is a major broker and made a fortune when she introduced Man city and Sheikh Mansour. Even though she could afford to buy CAFC I would imagine she could act as a middle woman and cop a few million.

    She has so many contacts in the middle East. Would they be interested in a League 1 club ? Would Roland sell to Foreigners from the land of sand ?

    Because Roland told the EFL that they shouldn’t let foreigners buy a EFL club.

    It's not him. He took a brief look in the autumn and said "nah." He's anyway winding down his interests in the UK.

    You said the EFL won’t let it happen ? That’s just nonsense.

    Nonsense or a joke based on what Roland has said recently

    Well, what appears to have been the case in the past is that people can get past the asking price and then something stops bidders in their tracks which slows everything down. It's troubling, but I worry there's some leftover horror show from the Spivs that stops sensible business people from buying us. RD did about a 45 second due diligence when he bought us. If that's the case then the price of the club is immaterial

    I used to think there was some skeletons in our trophy cabinet ( plenty of room) but I think it was Airman who posted that it wasn’t the case.

    There was some legal stuff that took the Aussies’ lawyers an age to untangle. 
    I hope for GM’s sake he’d be able to sell on those legals to new buyers?

    I dont know - 460 years should be enough time to get over it
    I don’t know - I still won’t be over Bailey’s Swindon penalty in 460 or so years!
