If Dalman is off and The Aussies are nowhere near completing (if at all), with Bowyer and co out of contract, I believe tomorrow, or at least the deadline to sign is tomorrow, we could be going into the weekend with RD still the owner and LB and co. gone!! FFS!!
He’s contracted until June 30th
that “deadline” announced earlier include the week was just to stir shit up. It worked
I think you're wrong on that point. Not the date of the contract, but what it means. Hopefully we won't find out.
I wonder who put the story out this week then ? I realise @AirmanBrown has said that various media outlets were in the know about this for a couple of months but have sat on the story - but from the sounds of the last update ut doesn't sound like the story this week has come from Dalman's side.
RD playing games again to get the Aussies to get a hurry up ???
I don’t buy all this he’s a lunatic, mental etc etc. In my interpretation he is most likely not a nice man, wholly single minded and an extremely tough / difficult negotiatior who has little interest in compromise, and most certainly no interest in what’s best for the club.
Ive no idea if it’s true, but if talk that the club and it’s assets can be acquired free of debt and with clean title as a Championship club for under £40m, then I’m coming round to thinking that that is fair value in this industry.
A Championship club sold 1 player for £15m yesterday.
I've said all along he bought us at a very good price (£18M) and the top price he could expect would be £35M. £40M is certainly pushing it. He has improved the stadium - pitch, electronic turnstiles, seats, painted the breeze blocks in Upper North. He has carried out some improvements to Sparrows Lane (obviously not what was promised).
As always I in no way support RD and want him gone as of 4 years ago, just stating facts as I see them.
Doesn’t actually seem like a complete denial to me, if it was truly dead he wouldn’t have a problem mentioning it.
"Right at this moment in time I'm really focused on preparing for the new season with Cardiff. I don't want to let Neil down. We have a job to do here at Cardiff and we intend to give it a right old go for promotion."
"Vincent, Ken, Neil and myself are on the same wavelength and pull in the same direction. The four of us work well. I don't want to rock the boat at the moment."
"Provided Vincent, Ken, Neil and myself are united, which we are, then I'm there with Cardiff. I'm not going to get distracted by this talk or anything else. I expect to be here for the season."
Doesn't exactly seem like he'll be leaving does it?
I know I'm probably incredibly naive, but isn't all this secrecy proving counter productive?
If RD just set his stall out (sorry) and itemised the assets for sale, warts and all with a set price - your prospective buyers could start negotiation ... or not. So far all his scheming, moving the goalposts and setting one syndicate against another with different prices and conditions has proven to be a costly waste of time.
Say he wants 38 million, put it up for 43 to allow for a bit of bartering and hope he arrives at a figure north of his bottom line. If I was a buyer and he told me the club comes free with the land at a price I'd tell him to bogof.
To me it reads more like a I"can't say anything about it so I'm going to say what Cardiff wants to hear for now" statement.
Doesn't mean it's dead, just means he's a diplomatic person who realises everything he says from now on will be under intense scrutiny so until he becomes our owner (if that happens at all) he is 100% committed to the people that currently employ him

I am sure RD has a direct line to the Cardiff local press and managed to persuade an experienced football executive to let them run the story. Obviously Roland is an evil genius who can manipulate any of the world's media at the click of his fingers. Intresting that he had to resort to this as Jim White is on holiday this week.

Feels at the moment as though we'll manage to beat the record for fewest points without even trying!!
all those rubbishing the aussies off , as if we're some sort of dream club to be bought, might wanna wake up and smell the coffee
No shortage of buyers but as ever, the stumbling block is Roland.
It's getting to the point where you start to wonder if he actually even wants to sell us.
well that sounds like its going nowhere then !!

Translation: I’m here until I can get a bigger role somewhere else.
