    @Sage

    Theres logic in your post and that’s where I think your argument falls over.
    Of course we know that Roland doesn’t do things logically and is completely irrational most of the time. As he showed with his ridiculous and vindictive statement yesterday.

    However, that’s where I truly believe that someone or more than just one person/group spoke to him before he spoke to Bowyer again and warned him of the consequences if it wasn’t resolved favourably to the club. It means he would have been cutting his nose off to spite his face. To keep the attractiveness of selling the club was to keep Bowyer, so he was forced to reconsider and here we are today.
    I think it was pointed out to him that the anger of the fans would increase tenfold in Bowyer left and that he could expect more than a couple of visits to his home town.
    We all know how much he hates that.so I believe he buckled. 
  • I got electrocuted in the Clarendon on my wedding night 
    Said your new bride... eh?
  • My money's on the Roland and Lee partnership continuing rather like the successful pop duo Peters and Lee from the 1970s.

    Their most famous hit was Welcome Home and  like the Charlton duo, one was talented, popular and fair-haired and the other was blind and couldn't play the piano very well.
  • Ahem!! Anyway back to the takeover...

    He really is as nutty as a fruitcake. It really does beg the question, how the hell did he acrue his vast wealth? Luck? Black Magic?

    Stumps me.

    I know one thing, he comes out with more whoppers than customers coming out of a Burger King.
  • Dalman. In the Clarenden. With a Filofax. 
  • So ...... Dalman's offer is serious, then. Aussies RD doesn't want to deal with.

    Any identity as to the other offer, Supaclive?

    Another random Facebook rumour...
    Clarendon’s 3* can’t see him staying there. Duchatelet isn’t even here so why would he be

    Remember them being top billing when I was working at a holiday camp. My lips are sealed.

    Not sure you can dismiss any backer based on nationality.

    I am however sure that we need rid of RD sooner rather than later!

    No but I'm equally cautious about anyone coming in... New owners wont instantly mean they're great
