Seriously, why does anybody bother to post any potential info on this never ending thread?
And when they get all the information thanks to people doing so, they still have no idea of the issues and seem incapable of putting two and two together. All you do for providing a service, which is what it is, is get slagged off for being the messenger. What I would say is that some people are genuinely grateful for all of those that take the trouble to post what they know - good news or bad. Which reminds me - we are waiting on Prague to give us some info.
I still don't think people are slagging off JS, it's slagging off the consortium which is, imo, a bit of a joke, but that's nothing to do with JS!
The Aussies themselves get questioned, Jimmy Seed gets offended, all of a sudden Jimmy Seed is getting "slagged off"?
I’m not bothered mate, but every time I post about the Aussies you seem to pop up with a little dig for some reason. Often scarf related - but it’s not really a biggie, it’s just a bit childish, a bit off putting and slightly demeaning. I post only in good faith.

You genuinely think that's aimed at you? Honestly?

But it is Roland they should be slagging off. People seem to be annoyed that the consortium don't have the money, but seeing as RD is asking for too much money, how do they know! I don't know if any of the bidders are good or bad, but if we are going to take this mess out on anybody at this time, it should be 100% on the Douchebag.
You are way too sensitive about fans getting sick of the Aussies JS
Stop taking it so personally. For example, I think they are useless and skint and need to leave it now, but I am not calling you useless, or skint etc etc
‘Sounds like the Aussies WILL NOT be buying the club this week’.
Something to do with needing an extra investor (having just lost a Chinese one) to cover this extra historic debt.
...’so it’s over to the Europeans and Dalman’.
I'm 100% in the 'RD is a lunatic owner therefore trying to buy something from him is probably ridiculously complex camp', but I think from what I've picked up on here as well, the Aussies' approach and bids are becoming a bit farcical as well. Sounds like there's too many moving parts at their end
Yeah, we all hope for a Roman Abramovic, with super deep pockets to appear out of nowhere, but the reality is many, many potential buyers have been driven away, and I think the majority aren’t single investors. Seems odd to single out the ones who have tried the hardest to deal with the lunatic who owns our club. I’m amazed any of their investors have stuck with it if I’m honest. But I’d still rather they did, than didn’t. The argument that they’re putting off other potential bidders doesn’t hold water.
I appreciate that, but picking up on what has been shared on here, and the fact that it's been over a year since we had a couple in the Director's box, with scarfs, it doesn't really shout out robust strategy. I understand 95% of that is probably down to RD, but of the remaining 5%, I just don't how cohesive it all is. You may know better as you speak to them and I'm just going on conjecture on here. I don't buy into the fact they would put off other bidders and I genuinely believe they have the best of intentions, just wonder about the foundations of who is involved and what's going on in their camp
All good points. It might be more like 10% down to them however 😉. I only speak to them when they think it’s going horribly wrong, which isn’t as often as you’d think. My other source is pretty good though, and this latest info comes from that source. As I’ve said, more than happy for Dalman or this European consortium (?) to buy the club. I just want another season like last season, but you can’t have the same success in the Championship without proper funding I fear.

Prancing around in club scarfs whilst having nothing to do with the club could be considered childish and demeaning too.
According to some sources they've failed to stump up the cash on several occasions and have lost various 'investors' from their mega-consortium, is it any wonder a post stating they've managed to lose another investor get's lol'd?
I really don't think anyone is digging you out, or suggesting anything you post is done is in good faith, but come on, you have to admit the situation is at best, slightly ridiculous.

When you look back on your posts, I believe you will understand why; "Sounds like the Aussies aren't buying the Club this week" if not a LOL is full of Irony after 100 weeks ( higher or lower ?)
It's not a case of shooting the messenger James, but we can only take so much "Not news"
They might not think much of you. It isn't just them who can't get a deal done with the owner though is it? If it was, maybe it would be fair to criticise.

If someone is asking for too much money, you don't agree the to the price then pull out at the last moment, due to lack of funds, whilst still searching for more investors, which is what I believe to have happened previously.
Yes, RD is a nutjob, especially with regards to selling the club, but I believe the aussies have set themselves an unobtainable target with buying a club as big as ours.

Prancing? Tbh the situation is ridiculous, yes, and very frustrating for all of us, but Roland is the common denominator with all potential buyers walking away. When the Aussies have had all their ducks in a row Roland has repeatedly moved the goalposts. Deflecting the blame on the Aussies, or any other buyer, suits Roland just fine.
What I’m really hoping is that all the truth about what went on will come out one day, then we’ll know.
We don't know what they agreed though. I am assuming they agreed a price then discovered issues which meant they couldn't pay it. Nobody else seems willing to pay it either! People whose money it isn't just say they should just pay what he wants - like people say, we should just pay Bolton what they owe Oztumer. It is easy to say things like that with other people's money! What I am saying is they could be everything they are accused of, but really we know only one thing for sure which shouldn't be forgotten. That is Roland is a mad cnut - and knowing that means we should be a bit more generous to other parties in all this when judging them/slagging them off. The person who deserves all the slagging off is not cleaning his teeth in Belgium!

It's all RD's fault some say (much of it is). The Aussies have always had the money ready & available we're told. But the deal never happens and they are constantly looking & advertising for new investors. This is weird, because they have the money don't they ? I fail to understand why a group that are said to have all the money they need to do the deal. Never do the deal and are permanently looking for investors. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck.

It’s all your fault, this latest investor to walk was Chinese apparently! 😉
Come on everyone lets get back on track and stop picking at each other and just pick at any slivers of info we get. Any info is welcome. Even if sometimes we might think a bit comical or repetitive.
I think Prague should hurry up with his further and better particulars to the comments his contact made. We are waiting with baited breath here @PragueAddick
You can have a group of investors and some drop out because the deal is taking too long or is too difficult in their opinion, but others in the group remain interested and try to find new investors.

Meltdown Monday is fake news.
Temultuous Tuesday is where it's at.
I'm looking forward to Wanky Wednesday personally.
We know he has not accepted at least two £30m bids. Does anybody on here think £30m is cheeky? I think £30m is generous and therefore it is ridiculous for him to publicly claim he is desperate to sell the club. We know he is a liar so maybe we shouldn't be too surprised by it however. How much he wants is harder to know as the price seems to vary depending on who you are and when you ask?
