    I still can't understand that surely before accumulating more losses why he wouldn't put the 4million he was potentially investing into toney into the directors loans for a quicker sale
    Because that would make sense. 
    And nothing Roland does makes sense.

    He gives Bow and Co a shit budget in L1 and Bow gets us promoted so The Rat hoicks up the price. He then gives Bow another shit budget for the Championship (I understand that as it stands we could break even this season), should Bow pull of another miracle the Rat gets loaded with Prem money!
    Rattys played a blinder if you ask me, he disgusts me but he’s doing well (for himself)

    I rate a Bowyer very very highly but there is zero chance of a promotion this season.
    Incorrect.

    TalkSport had us at 25/1 to be promoted... That's a 4% chance of promotion at least. 

    Three teams will be promoted from the Championship which 3/24 is around a 12.5% chance of promotion.

    No. Wrong. That’s a bookmakers opinion. The odds of getting promoted are not 25 / 1. In fairness they are not zero either but I’m pretty sure that promotion is highly, highly unlikely.

    He wasn’t putting 4m in. He was merely allowing LB to reinvest if Taylor was sold
  • Just curious. Did the Aussies accept RD's valuation of the club - I thought I heard that mentioned. So possibly the reason RD feels he can arse around with the other bidders when they offer a more realistic valuation of the worth of Charlto Athletic, is that he has a bid somewhere on the table which approximates to what he wants, even though it never seems near to being achieved. In which case, the presence of the Aussies is an active hindrance.
    None of this takes into account RD and his utter failure to have any sort of business nous, but even by his standards, his ability to drive off every other offer must have some basis, however arcane.
    But Roland changed the price on the Aussie by adding on the previously "all sorted, not a problem" directors bonds.

    The Aussies are NOT the problem here as much as people keep trying to make it so.

    Duchatelet is the problem.

    The Europeans and Dalman have been messed about on the price and negotiations.  The Aussie had a deal but Duchatelet changed it.

    And if the Aussies are a problem and unreliable than Duchatelet could have just taken one of the many other offers, but he hasn't.

    Duchatelet wants too much and he wants protection from any liabilities as well as future payments on success and player sales. 

    Duchatelet is the problem.
     
    He agreed £33m with the Aussies before the play-off final and then changed his mind and said they had to resolve the directors’ loans.

    He could have had £45m at Christmas but asked for £72m.
    Napa was nearly right then!

    I thought it was said somewhere that toney was intended as Taylors partner. 

    Whether true or not is a different matter.

    Lol ignore the paragraph after that where the actual chances are 12.5% or 3 of 24 to be promoted. A higher chance than the bookmakers gave.

    Does that mean if I’m in a bar with two supermodels, there is a 50% chance of me sleeping with one of them?
     If you're in a bar with two supermodels, the bouncers and security have failed.

    You have 2 chances yes or no for each, so a weird anology but a 50% chance with either one.

    Who was offering £45m at Christmas @Airman Brown  ?
    According to the Fans Forum minutes, there were 5 potential buyers around at that time!

    Bowyer himself has stated Toney was to play upfront with Taylor.

    So why did we make a bid for him only on the last day of the transfer window?
    Didnt the Peterborough chairman tweet a day or two before it closed saying that he'd turned down bids for Toney

    Definitely dont think we only bid on deadline day for him

    Find it hard to believe we were going to pay a fee for Toney and keep Taylor.

    Spoke to an ex player recently who said a group (which involved a CAFC fan) had spoken to RD and offered £45m

    He turned it down

    when we were coincidentally fending off numerous bids from Brentford for Taylor? We may have initially bid say 2m for Toney with the Djiksteel money but later bids were with the intention of using money from the Taylor sale.

    No he wasn't, just because that's what RD is asking for, doesn't mean it's what the club is worth, which is what Napa said.
    Mine was just a light hearted comment not to be taken seriously.

    I really don't want to dig out the post, but I thought he was demonstrating Dushitaface's valuation... 

    Still outrageous of a valuation either way.
