  • Think there will be a few more twists and turns before this is finally resolved.

    And I wouldn't bank 100% on the Aussies getting it over the line if it's purely down to the final bids.
  • I have a feeling that this has got a lot further to run. I can't see it happening next week.
  • Well Crawley, Airman and redhenry all saying Monday so I would go with them!!!
  • If you were RD would you sell right now or wait

    What reason does he have to wait? If you're thinking a play-off win that could be a further payment should it happen. Potential buyers won't wait around forever.
  • Not sure about this. Will we have to tamper with the ball from day one? Sandpaper down the budgie smugglers? I don't think so!

    And they've all qualified their statements.

  • Expect the unexpected, Aussies bid is the lowest.

    Precisely. Not only that but the other bidder hasn't gone away from what I understand.

  • Maybe old Roland putting out story of Aussies deal done to get others to close deal. Aussies been around for a year, suddenly Andrew Muir is involved? For how much? Who else is investing?
    Lots of bluff and double bluff going on here I would assume.

    Exactly how I see it for now ,
  • I had a dream..

    Curbishley
    Peacock...Directors of Football

    Bowyer
    Jackson...Manager/Coach

    Kewell...Barbies in the car park/snake catcher

    The latter also in charge of the sheep dip
    Perfect. That's the potholes sorted.
  • FFS - I was planning to 'work from home' tomorrow.
  • I'm also beginning to wonder if stories of completed deals are being leaked out there to head off the planned Easter protests? Seems very convenient that suddenly it's a done deal just after CARD make their announcement.

    Guy on Valley Express yesterday (first time I've used it) - who seemed vaguely ITK - said he was certain of Monday and that Paul Elliott would be the CEO - not Chairman...

    I'm assuming that as you've never used VE you didn't know this random bloke you spoke to. I imagine he's just spouting stuff he's read on here.
  • The Aussies are keen to get the deal done but Roland will do the deal when he is ready , I think he is still hoping another group will come in with a better offer

    There is a substantial backstory to Andrew Muir’s involvement, which dates back to last summer. The durability of that - even if you think it’s not true - is evidenced by the cover of VOTV136 last August.

    There hasn’t been any significant rumour about the identity of the “second” group other than Murray telling staff it was British. If you’re going to point to the public insubstantiality of the Aussie group, this is much more true of the other one.

    They are one and the same, searching for cash then they found Muir, but still way short on their bid.
    Not Murray’s choice either from all accounts, he is tied in with another bid we here.

    Sounds like we should be prepared for a bit longer wait

    I don’t think so.
    Roland waiting on better deal to close.
  • Just a couple more quid!
  • As each week passes, 2 more members of this forum suddenly become ITK and contradict everything that has been previously said. It's bloody hard to keep up with.
