    Several DDs can happen at the same time. We once had 3 on the go simultaneously.
    The two bids"excepted" dont have to be the same monetary value----could be money up front and then bolt-ons , money but certain assets NOT included,all debts paid and all the dosh etc etc

    Its believed RD has a preferred bidder which could mean anything ,but given the old c--nts track record is more than likely to mean he ends up keeping the freehold to The Valley. The other "excepted bid" might be more dosh but RD has to sell the lot.

    Tic toc Tony tic toc

    Your use of the word “excepted” really annoyed me then for no real reason other than being totally wrong

    Then I read the last few pages and cheered up

    Hoping Redhenrys group are still in the running. I’m assuming they are as it’s definitely not the Scottish consortium
    Dont forget the article from McLeish the other week saying that the Scottish lot being unable to match the price wanted by Roland

    I'm going with: Party One = Andrew Muir | Party Two = The group that RedHenry has been talking about

    what nationality are your lot red henry? are they foreign?
    if they are foreign, i can save you the bother, its not them
    How can you be sure of that @DOUCHER ? I think you are barking up the wrong tree mate.
    nope - nailed on, as i said about a week ago
    I know what you are talking about and it has nothing to do with @Redhenry’s lot. You’re probably right in some sense though. I just can’t elaborate at the moment.

    Let’s just see how things play out over the next week or two.
    "Curiouser and curiouser ! " cried Fanny.

    This is becoming more like a game of charades with every post .

    PLEASE could someone give us mere, ignorant mortals a clue to puzzle over until there's an announcement we just might understand ?

    Sounds like......?
  • Beware the ides of March. The 15th and Davo55 are now favourite.

    bloody hell, this is worse than an episode of Batman with The Riddler as main villain. Can't someone talk some sense for once.

    Surely someone from CAST/CARD etc, can ask the club/Murray ASAP to clarify his statement and clear up the misunderstanding.....or is that too simple a thing to achieve?
    It’s well known that Richard Murray reads the forums and no doubt is already well aware of the confusion that’s been caused. Interesting to see if he clarifies the situation.....and if not why not?
    Does it mean he deliberately set out to confuse us all.....the Richard Murray I once knew would have reacted very swiftly to clear things up.......nowadays, sadly, I really don’t know?

    Neither does Murray.

    Two bidders. It could come down to penalties. Is there a German bidder?

    Probably two English bidders, knowing our luck.

    Exactly what doesn’t he know Elfy.......after all he made the statement!
  • Smack of deliberate obfuscation.

    Can I bet on 31st March - New Murray Statement?

  • Well in the game of Snakes and Ladders called *Takeover* at least we are on a ladder now so that has to be a bonus and day to be a bit more happy and positive.

    Miss Katona picking through the bones of today’s developments.

    Oh, I thought UpNorth is where you live not a sexual preference. Each to their own.
    That picture deserves a flag.
    Leave off, as if you would say no.
  • If there are contingency payments based on promotions then Roland picks the party he feels is more likely to deliver those promotions.

    Which is surely a good thing from our perspective.

    Fingers crossed it all goes through OK!

    Apologies if this has already been suggested, but maybe the other party RM is referring to is the mega one we are going to have when the old fool has finally gone :+1:

    Hopefully but then RD is mega rich himself...

    To most, there is no confusion - there are 2 consortiums - as there have been for some weeks and both have now had their offers accepted - so the deals are partly both done but when drafting up contracts etc and until they are signed, nothing is a done deal - 1 party is Australian, the other is british and is the one I would put my money on - not redbull, not the known Scots and if red henrys lot are foreign, it's not them - hopefully it becomes 'done' in the next few weeks - if not, once next years division known would b my guess
    On the contrary......you only have to read the comments on this thread in the last few hours to see there is plenty of confusion with several different takes on what he has said and what he means.
    Indeed, you have just added your own opinion, which, like most others, you believe to be correct, when in reality all you have done is added to the confusion.
  • Are we any further ahead from the last statement?
    IMHO it's just a few more words from Murray to placate the fans. The threat of resuming protests has resulted in two communications and neither suggest to me that we are close to a takeover. We are still in a position where both parties could pull out. Roland has the final say. He's succeeded in quietening the protests when they need stepping up.
  • not an opinion - its fact - as always
