    Andrew Muir sold his Good Guys business for $870k Australian a short while back.

    We don't know who else, if anyone, is involved

  • Let’s just hope they run the club properly, and get us out of the awful league. Would of liked mega rich owners , like Zabeel or Man City but who’s to say The Aussie owners will not invest heavily in the team, training ground etc

    How have the Aussies outbid your lot then @Redhenry ?
  • 22.3.18 Summary

    It's been another quiet week in Takeover Land.

    Karl Robinson claimed that the takeover was up in air after the defeat to Blackpool although how much that was about diverting attention away from the dismal performance and how much was new information is open to debate.

    CARD responding to this and the lack of further information from Richard Murray or Duchatelet by calling for protests from the Rotherham game onward, in both SE7 and Belgium.

    @Redhenry had stated that the very rich party he is aware of is still very much in the game.

    One comment, believed to be referring Redhenry's party, stated "The deal is mega, chairman already in place"

    @Airman Brown mentioned Australians and "Arabs" as being the two parties involved in an article for Talksport.

    Richard Cawley has said on Talksport that a takeover is "not far off" but isn't saying who or when.

    @Redhenry and @Airman Brown both believe it to be very close with Airman saying that the "intention is Monday" (26/3) and @Redhenry saying it's not "his lot" which suggests it's the Aussies.

    Paul Elliot mentioned as new Chairman.

    Meanwhile,

    Karl Robinson was allowed to leave by mutual consent after revealing that he has twice tried to resign. He is expected to join Oxford United.

    Lee Bowyer, assisted by Johnnie Jackson, has been placed in charge of the team.
  • If its Monday, then what a birthday present that'll be for me!!!! I'll have a lot more to celebrate than just another year!!! "Go on make my (birth) day"

    You have exactly the same birthday as me (same year as well)

    Doubt they have but they have put their money down.

    My guess is that either

    Duchatelet didn't want to wait for the Mega rich any longer and so took the bird in hand

    Duchatelet thought the Aussie were more likely to be successful and so have to pay him his additional payments based on promotions.

    We also know Duchatelet have views about doing business with people from certain countries.

    Andrew Muir sold his Good Guys business for $870m Australian a short while back.

    We don't know who else, if anyone, is involved

    Surely if your interested party didn't match the Aussies then that perhaps says a lot about their ambition, might have been trying to make a quick profit like Roland rather than look to take us to the next level?

    Either way exciting times ahead and let's hope this is finally it

    This. If a super ambitious super rich owner wants to buy you, they buy you.

    I’m just pleased something is near because I truly believe the football club can’t be more toxic than it is right now.

    Mental...

  • Angeldust seems happy with the possibility.

    I'm happy with about 99% of people who aren't Roland.
  • Well Mr Elliott is spot on with his timing
