  • The fish puns have run their course. Onward with the Hakeover thread.
    C'mon. You're not thinking laterally.

    Agreed . The worst think that can happen to this thread is “this year in history” and fish puns combined....





    there's a challenge for you @happyvalley

    A combined history year and fish pin every 30 posts.

  • Chizz, Dalman was known to all here before Wembley, thus the horse on the far rails with the late run is someone else. Unless you can post some actual facts.
    I didn’t know about him before Wembley!

    Flag-worthy comment on a Charlton forum. Stockton-Darlington was opened to transport coal, not people.

    You mean he owns a Lambretta ?
    I think Rob is more a Vespa man.
    Parked it outside his shop in Grove Park.
    He had a shop in Grove Park? What sort? He has never mentioned it as far as I am aware. 
    It was a fish shop, I believe.
    I thought it was a knocking shop.
    Ah yes, my mistake. There was something about the smell of the place...

    You’ve thrown him a line now, but I think you’ve done him hook line and sinker now !
    oh my Cod, I’ve got involved in fish puns 😉

    Now, now - you making fun of fish is beyond the pale.

    Yes. That's what I posted.

    Here's a fact: @PragueAddick posted this The potential new buyer whom I am aware of who emerged after Wembley, has been told that a deal (with another party) is almost done, but if it isn't closed by Tuesday, this buyer will be given a short run at closing it. 

    Dalman is the other party referred to in parenthesis above ("... another party") with whom a deal is "almost done". 

    The potential new buyer, who apparently emerged after Wembley, has an opportunity to advance its deal, should the other deal (i.e. Dalman) not complete by the aforementioned Tuesday. 

    In order, the parties are 

    Dalman 
    The new party who emerged post Wembley 
    The Aussies
    I think that might be the Aussies. 
  • Apologies Chizz. Dalman was hundreds of pages ago so I assumed s couple of months but with all the fish puns, it was only weeks ago.

    Silly post Baz,
    You’re right. Didn’t contain a single fish pun. 
    It was a fish curry he was referring to.
    Cod have fooled me. 


    I've been waiting with bated breath for someone to take direct action 😉.
  • 1829, Oxford University win the first Boat Race
    Strangely enough, in Ireland, the year is remembered more for The Catholic Relief Act, bringing an end to the Penal Laws... 

    A fairly major event, also, for the remaining English and Welsh Recusants, who had suffered such legislation for almost a century more.

    So, is that Tuesday coming, or last Tuesday.
    the guy from Wales online said he thought Dalman walked away last weds the 26th

    I didn't  know about Dalman until the Walesonline article was reported here on 12 June - more than two weeks after Wembley. It was reported that the interest started some months before but it was certainly not widely known.
    If Prague is on the money then it's the Aussies by Tuesday, and if not then Dalman has a shot.
    No, it’s either Dalman or the Aussies by Tuesday after which the interest of which @Prague Addick is aware of will be given a run at it.

    You don’t know if the “another party” is Dalman or the Aussies but what we do know is that if whomever it is doesn’t do a deal by Tuesday then @PragueAddick mystery man will be given a run at it.

  • Where does a  'Deal that's almost done' rank alongside 'Done deal' ?
  • I just hope that "having a run at it" means something different to what the Aussies have been doing otherwise it will be 2021 before RD has enough of this mystery bidder & goes back to the Aussies.

    And can I just say that all those posting fish puns are so juvenile. Why don't you just run along & let us adults talk about the important stuff.
    Apparently not; I did and my post was deleted. That's the second time this week I've had an innocuous post censored. Would whoever was responsible care to explain?
  • I deal with many business deals for share purchases and mergers. It’s very rare that deadlines are ever met and in my experience they normally get set a few more times before they actually happen as so many people are involved and small bits of paper need advisers, signatures etc. That being said a couple of weeks after the deadline is about right so I expect probably a Monday as a Friday is given and normally fall away until a Monday when everyone works on the weekend on the deal. I would suggest Monday 15th July as more realistic

    But I know that you
    With your heart beating
    And your eyes shining
    Will hate it when I’m
    Lying to you

    Perhaps the deadline had already been set a few times before?
