Spill the beans then, who was the British consortiumAirman Brown said:
Yes, Doucher. However, the only British interest (other than Donald Muir) I had information about told me themselves they had withdrawn about six weeks ago. Either it was the same people or another group whose identity has gone under the radar, but there wasn't much to say about it either way. There could still be a surprise on the latter basis, but everyone is now pointing to the Aussies, including the people "supporting" the Saudis.DOUCHER said:
Its irrelevant now anyway but there were 2 who had jumped through all the hoops, agreed a price and were dotting i's and crossing T's and then possibly it seems, the arabs have piped up - when they've had 3 months to get to where the brits and aussies were - laughable that the brits get forgotten and the arabs were suddenly the competition that lost out according to you lot.Airman Brown said:
Quite. Murray said there were two who had agreed a price and terms, he didn’t say there were only two about.nth london addick said:There were three

British
During the last stages
Anyway, as I say, irrelevant now but I'm sure it will make for a good story if the aussies turn out to be shite as well. As always, just telling it how it is.
My own view is that it's impossible to know what's for the best, except the end of Duchatelet.
If you know something say it, they’re out of the running it affects no one.0 -
Just drove past The Valley and saw the respective parties' advisors ironing out the fine details:

I'll certainly be attending if RD has buggered off..........for good!!

Kewell out - we will be sick of his formation by then. Especially after the heavy defeat at Northampton.
We can moan he hasn’t even signed any players.
The Aussies will announce the cheapest season tickets as being £4000.
Beer - it will be shit
No sign of the new owner at a home game, even though that will be his first game.
It’s time to ramp up the protest to get these convicts out. CAAM (as it will be be called) have already ordered 2000 blow up Rolf Harris inflatables and some real cricket balls to throw on the pitch.14 - Sponsored links:

If you start saying names people stop telling you stuff that can go in fanzines and give us a clearer picture on things.J BLOCK said:

£99 Adult Season Tickets anywhere in the ground would certainly bring a few more bums on seats, sell a few more programmes and chips0

I agree if we are in league 1. Definitely get a few more thousand in through the gate.cafc_will said:£99 Adult Season Tickets anywhere in the ground would certainly bring a few more bums on seats, sell a few more programmes and chips

The Aussies should be here for the long stay, at least not quick grab it and run merchants like the spivs. Weird how we attract 'project' owners like Roland and his 'Many clubs, all self sufficient' concept. Long term, I'll be happy as contenders in second tier but I can't see our current team going anywhere fast but I may be wrong.0

Tbf a £200 season ticket is still unbelievably good value1

From a business point of view I'm sure the new owners will be looking to rebuild the club and support.. Season Ticket sales are the income of the business along with monies spent on actual match days.. The More bums on Seats the more matchdsy sales. Other than TV and sponsorship.

The Aussies (if it's the same ones plus Muir) said the plan was to get to the Premier League and then sell up.thewolfboy said:The Aussies should be here for the long stay, at least not quick grab it and run merchants like the spivs. Weird how we attract 'project' owners like Roland and his 'Many clubs, all self sufficient' concept.
