    Amazes me how people don't want to believe what a former director has to say on the matter, has given a full and frank interview, but there are people that believe what is reported in the Mail, Standard for a "source". It has been stated for sometime by NLA all what was said within the article and was totally dismissed.

    That’s hardly a coincidence, is it? But I have also been in contact with David White today and he is quite clear he is giving opinions. He isn’t involved in the way that people briefing the papers are. Doesn’t make the latter definitive or mean DW is wrong but the former directors aren’t as close to the process.
  • @Airman Brown

    When you spoke to Dave did he clarify the point about Murray being part of the Aussie consortium?

    If only DW posted on here.

    No. I’m sure he’ll clarify that if he wants to.
  • Maybe Tom Hovis can come back as a coach
  • @Airman Brown do you know if the banker has even done due diligence yet?
  • 1565, Ottoman troops begin the Siege of Malta.
    Slightly later in 1565, the Knights of Malta lift the Siege, after about 4 months.
  • @Airman Brown

    Yesterday you hinted that there was more information to come today. Is that still the case or is that it for the time being ? TIA
  • DW gave an opinion so how can he be wrong? It's  an opinion

    That’s what Airman said.

    An opinion can be factually wrong. He could be wrong that RD didn't replace KAG because he doesn't want promotion; he could be wrong about the price. It's still a valid opinion.

    Nothing else today that I know about.
  • So we 'know' the 3 parties

    Aussies
    Un-named Banker
    Secret British Party (that is probably a lie from RD)

    who wins?
  • David White is an Ex director and said he has never met the owner, so unlike Richard Murray isn't in the inner loop.

    Bob Whitehand is an ex PLC vice Chairman and isn't in the inner loop.

    White and Whitehand can have their opinions BUT only Murray and LDT are in the inner loop and they are struggling to understand the ramblings of Duchatelet.

    At least the standard story is pro active in trying to get Roland to reveal WTF or how much he wants.

    There was me thinking that once Katrien Meire left we had about a year left of RD tenure.

    He has. More than £30 mill.

    I believe it was the seller that pushed this out there. Not the other way round.

    Surely that can’t be right. There is allegedly a BID of £30 million. 
  • I feel that we are near the full circle on this one now, and can all start standing down?

    Makes no sense.

    Yeah. Because in the world of Duchatelet everything makes sense!


    You people!

    Jesus, and how to feed fishes and bread to stretch to 1566 pages

    There's no short answer I'm afraid you will just have to sort out the wheat from the chaff  ;)
  • I was down the Valley earlier and I saw the first signing of the new regime down there. Shouldn't really be posting this but... image
    Hate to burst your fake bubble, but next time can you make it factually correct. We already have a number 11 in Fosu, so its impossible Neymar would get the 11 shirt, unless it was sanctioned by the Football League to change Fosus number
    Oh dear lord
    Whats this mean @CharltonByBlood It was clearly a joke based on @Rufus_Ambition original joke.
    Oh dear Lord (again)

    Don't think that's the case at all.

    If that’s true, I wonder at which stage he became involved. Oct ‘17 or before?
    Unlikely to have been before as he was 'involved' elsewhere.
    Gardikiotis? This goes back to the issue of the "two Australians bids". I could never connect Gardikiotis to Murphy/Muir, other than overlap of nationality. If Murray was working with Gardikiotis and there were indeed two separate approaches here, there would have been a conflict of interest in him representing the club with Murphy/Muir, wouldn't there?
    It wasn't Gardikiotis.
