    So any pics of Muir and co at The Valley today, or was the rumour just that - a groundless rumour?

    He’s changed his hat

    Figured it out...He actually didn't come back to this seat after half time, which was strange.

    That's a great idea to maintain interest in the thread. A history lesson on every page. Let's just hope we don't arrive at the present day.
    Ah. 

    Great effort @happyvalley

    Maybe Muir's given Murphy the boot.

    Aussie (+ US backing) attempt to buy the club is over.

    Can't say which source supplied the info, but apparently RD was impossible to deal with, and they've had enough.
    Is it known by anyone whether:

    - an actual deal was put to Roland in recent months which he has rejected?

    Joint Aussie/Yanks bid rejected a few weeks back. Second bid may or may not be still on the table.

    I think it’s fair to say RD was always sceptical about the Aussies - he made that clear - but even if they might have been useful to him, the idea that he or people working for him planted the stories about them is laughable. Apart from anything else Gerard Murphy spoke directly to journalists on multiple occasions to my knowledge, so did Keith Harris. There were numerous process leaks that didn’t come from The Valley or anyone with an interest in putting out lines for RD.

    The fact they never went away - and indeed appeared to get close to a deal - was down to GM, who was fronting a shifting consortium of investors. Andrew Muir was his credible constant.

    Whether GM would have delivered a stable ownership is an open question, but the fact RD has alienated a string of substantial potential buyers really removes it as an issue of interest. Ultimately none of the people who have wanted to buy the club have been able to get RD to co-operate with a deal.

    Sooner or later he will probably find himself surveying the wreckage of what Bowyer has created and telling anyone who will listen that the latest failure is down to disloyalty, supporters, the EFL or possibly Brexit. In fact, it will be all his own work.
    Spot on.

    Strange that Muir was back today with the scarf round his neck again. Am I right in thinking this is the first time since Shrewsbury when he thought they had it practically wrapped up.

    With Murphy. With a deal that RD reneged on.

    He got some complimentary tickets and decided to squeeze in half a game before going to see palace play and finalise the deal there...

    Couldn’t be there today. Are these photographs genuinely from today’s match ? Seems mightily odd that he should be there alone ? When there is supposed to be now nothing cooking.
