Lies, lies and more lies plus some more let's blame everyone but myself from Roland.
That was my impression. Don’t think this is positive sadly. Sounds like petulant, spoilt brat mode, maybe because the takeover isn’t quite going how he likes it or as quickly.
I’m hardly his biggest fanboy, but I have a feeling he might be being being fairly straightforward in this instance. Of course it’s also the case that he might be able to sort out the loans issue by getting out his chequebook.
As Muir was at Wembley I'm assuming the Aussies have agreed a price.
The ex-directors not thanked by RD are David Hughes, Maurice Hatter, Robert Whitehand and David Sumners. If I'm correct I'm assuming they have not as yet agreed a deal to pay off their loans, but Murray, Chappell and White have agreed.
RD is saying that the prospective owner put forward by Varney is the current owner of Ebbsfleet, who has not been paying the bills on time for a considerable period.
Bowyer wants a basic wage, higher than is currently on offer and negotiations will continue next week.
The playing budget is low (perhaps lowest in division) and we'll just have to get on with it.
He thanks Murray, Hatter, White and Hughes. So that suggests Chappell, Whitehand and Sumners are the outstanding ones.
Yes.
Thanks for the info. Is the feeling that the outstanding ones will be sorted?
You’d have to ask Roland. He’s supposed to sort the issue before any sale can take place.
I'm at home watching fools and horses. The jolly boys outing. So I'm in a reasonably good mood. Promised myself not to join this debate. But. Fuck it here goes. The reason a sale of the club has not gone through is down to one person and one person only. Roland you selfish senile ugly yellow toothed bastard lower your asking price sell the fuckin club and live the rest of your miserable life as far away from SE7 as is possible.

Sorry Mr Seed but you told us (in good faith) that the deal would be done in 2 weeks fecking months and months ago and now it's not Rolands fault the sale ain't gone through !! WTF
Mr White on twitter says he knows nothing about it. Says he was asked if he was prepared to discuss loan, and said ‘yes’. He has heard nothing since apparently.
Sorry Mr Seed but you told us (in good faith) that the deal would be done in 2 weeks fecking months and months ago and now it's not Rolands fault the sale ain't gone through !! WTF
Exactly. WTF. Although technically I said the Aussies hoped the deal would go ahead in two weeks, which was what they were told. The whole thing is a clusterf*ck. (I believe that’s the correct term these days?)

No, we are trying to use decent language these days.😉
I may be wrong but this appears to be as near to a sale as we have ever been - isn’t he effectively saying that if the 3 directors waiver their loans, it’s done? We’re talking a few mil? Surely it will be sorted one way or another - looks like a last attempt to squeeze a bit out of who rd sees as the enemy

Yet David White is tweeting that he hasn’t agreed anything!
Read the statement 4 times, for me there are too many past tense words and negative statements being used, or am I reading too much into it? For example -: Our win at Wembley was fantastic and, as I mentioned, a credit to all involved.
Following the win, I was filled with hope as one of the parties interested in buying the club wanted to move forward quickly to complete the purchase of the club. They want to solve the issue of the ex-directors loans first, which I can understand but may take time. Nevertheless, it is unlikely we will win as many games as we did in League One. Then he blames everyone else but himself for the quite apparent mistakes HE made. I'm not feeling overly positive at this statement, I think we will still be under his ownership when next season starts, operating on a small budget, having lost some of our better players and relying again on youth. As for the comments on LB's contract, it reads to me as though he has been offered the same terms as last years contract and he just needs to sign an extension, if you were LB, after getting us promoted, wouldn't you expect a better package than that? I smell RD getting excuses in early. Sorry for the scepticism, but I don't trust him at all.

But that's what makes it so difficult to understand. We are talking 3/6m that is holding this up. Surely the investment into the club is considerably more than that so how can any potential buyer see that as a stumbling block. They have probably invested around 1m in DD alone. It's just doesn't make sense.
Promotion to the PL will be worth what, 200m in 2 season, which would be a realistic aim. I'd love to think what Lee and Steve could do with say a transfer budget for 10m
Dreaming I know but potentially getting a 200m windfall off of a combined investment of say 70m (takeover, transfers, running costs etc) must surely be the goal

Sorry for the ambiguity.

The most Charlton of takeovers.
He's the only one that can sell the club.

I sincerely hope that I am wrong, but this sale has become a farce. Our hopes are raised only to be dashed a few days later.
