Just dropped in after a self imposed 10 days of absenteeism.
The more I read this thread, the more I can't help but think that Duchatelet is 'having our eyes out' (even those 'In The Know')!
There's no doubt about it, he'll want revenge for all the wholly justifiable crap that we have thrown at him. It's in his nature and after having his ego dented on many an occasion, he'll want pay back.
What better way to do it than to create a ruse to make us all think that a sale is going through. He gets 'buy in' from those at the highest level (including press etc) but all the while it's just a big con; the act of a psychopathic megalomaniac!
It's kept the protests etc off his case and he simply revels in the confusion that it's causing.
Let's face it, even if a sale happened tomorrow, we're way past the original predictions of many, so therefore he's probably already achieved his goal.
This is going to drag on until at least the summer now and the fact that he's had a lucky escape with Robinson going and an upsurge in the team's form has simply given him more time.

We've been had, simple as.
Nah. The bloke wants out now. He might well be jockeying for the best price but to think a billionaire who doesn’t give a flying one about us is sitting in Belgium getting his rocks off telling us porkies is ridiculous.
Some people are suggesting that RD is stalling in order to get best deal depending on which division we're in next season. Does that mean that Murray came out with a bare faced lie when a few weeks ago he stated that the price had been agreed? I don't know either way but multi million pound sales such as this can't be as simple as some folk believe. Let's just hang on in there and focus on the team's upcoming games and continue to get behind the lads as we have done since KR left.
Is it time for the Trust to contact Murray for an update on the sale and to ask what plans are in place for next season’s ticket prices season tickets etc?
What's the point?
The guy seemingly knows as much as the rest of us.............which isn't much. Wouldn't believe a word he says.
I don't know what or if anything has changed. I assumed the Aussies were about to complete. All I know is my mob are still in, but still haven't agreed a price.
So not really relevant then are they (I'm not having a pop at you @Redhenry & always thankful of your posts).
I might like the look of a house in Keston selling for £5m, but if I only offer £250k I can hardly say that I'm "in the game".
I certainly wouldn't call them irrelevant. Do we know if anyone has agreed a price?
RH. So what exactly are you saying about this group? They made a bid and got knocked back? They are in serious negotiations? They made an enquiry but didn't like the sound of the price? Not having a dig, but how are they still 'involved'? What constitutes 'involved' I suppose is what I am asking?
The club must get enquiries every week. What makes this group any different from the many that have probably dissappeared.
There were three groups involved before we thought the Aussies had agreed. They have all bid similar amounts. I was told my mob are preparing a new bid this week.

I think Murray is suffering from the same capricious behaviour as Daisy did when she was having to peddle Roland's line. Then the old fool would stick his oar in again and change his mind for reasons best known to himself, and make her look like a liar (even though she told enough porkies of her own).

So Murray was talking absolute shyte when he said a price had been agreed.

I'm not sure we could believe anyone concerned with the possible takeover as yet, if Murray has no dealings with takeover talk then he can only say what Roland will tell him. I think Murray is piggy in the middle so to speak, gets what Rolly wants to tell him, and gets flak from us, a no win situation for him.
Have you seen a press release that says fee agreed with x named consortium
I haven’t
I have seen and heard from a man who tells lies for fun that
Two bidders have agreed a fee and it should be concluded very soon
This was ages ago and still no conclusion no consortium even named
We have had imminent and deal done , fees agreed
Yet not one shred of evidence to collaborate these facts
However what we do have evidence of is no fee being agreed as RD still owns us no official names have come out as to who there maybe that’s interested in buying us

Press release.
"Although the takeover has not yet been completed, the good news is the terms of the deal, including the price, have now been agreed between the parties and we are now just waiting for their respective lawyers to finalise the sale and purchase agreement"
If I had agreed a price and then Duchatelet moved the goal posts I'd tell him where he could stick his tin pot club.

All that is missing here is 'why don't we all just have a nice cup of tea, and wait for the whole thing to blow over'
Well, now that we are back in top 6, I worry that if RD is not 100% committed by contract to sell at this point, he might wait it out, see if we make it back to the Championship, and try to get an even higher price. "London club! Profitable! Promoted! What can I get now?"
The sad fact is that the worse we played, the more we heard he wanted out. And since we have won 3 in a row, things have gone quiet. Maybe this should not worry me..... but it does. This is Roland we are talking about. As long as he is here, I worry about everything.
My view - for what it's worth - is that 2 bids have been agreed but they still haven't come up with all the paperwork to conclude the deal / make their bid conpliant with the terms of the sellers 'tender' document. It's probably nothing to do with money but more about guarantees. Doesn't suggest either buyer is sitting on a pile of easily accessible cash but I'm only guessing as to the exact reason for the hold up - like everyone else.

Keep all the waffle here and when something newsworthy happens, you'll know where to find it: WIOTBST
I fear we’re being taken for a ride.
Life’s too easy for the old dickwad, we need to start the protests in Belgium.
The guy seemingly knows as much as the rest of us.............which isn't much. Wouldn't believe a word he says.
The only plan is that there is no plan.
What will replace it ?
Has it passed "Good and proper thread test"

Just sell the club and FUCK OFF
