    RD is holding us hostage, isn’t he? Give me £X or I kill the club. Because he can afford to.

    It does feel like that TBF.
    The reality is we have a rich eccentric owner who wants to make a profit and save face on his overseas project of producing an academy factory farm and selling them on.
    Each day longer is another cut to our long term health as a successfully run football club with realistic ambitions.

    The process is long and hard because Duchatelet is a Pedant. Never will the process of crossing the t's and dotting the i's take so long.
    We have to wait as the Douchebag sits....... and strokes his pussy !
  • Been some time since there's been any rumors on actual progress, still holding out for @Redhenry !!
  • All the doom merchants saying he won’t sell til someone pays him £xxx needs to remember the club is losing (ergo RD) £1m a Month
    He will sell soon. He’s a lot of things but where money is concerned he ain’t daft

    ...unless he's putting the price up by a million each month to counteract the loss (don't put it past him)

    The way he has wasted money over the last 4 years tells me he most certainly is daft.

    Non football business acumen
    and football acumen business !
    Are poles apart.
    Just look at Goldberg and Jordan at the Surrey club to realise that.

    They might be his friends, but I don't think he is personally involved. He is trying to get out from Newcastle and it is dragging on there and nowhere near completion. I don't think you can own two clubs at the same time, anyway. I put the odds of Roland being owner in 2019 more than Ashley ever buying our club.

    Would you put your England shirt on that !

    But he is not "losing" is he. I thought he was "loaning" the club the money it needs each month and then charging interest on top?

    But he can't keep bumping up the asking price to cover those losses... or he could but then no-one will buy.

    They don't look like they are breaking the doors down now to buy so who knows what RD is asking for.

    He has now decided to start talks with previous bidders to sell Newcastle

    Sadly I can see Duchatelet having to look at this option too.

    Since KR went and Bowyer took over, for the first time in years I’m enjoying watching us again and seriously don’t give a flying F**k about the Douchbag, he’s history, he’s gone, it’s just a matter of time!

    And that feels good!

    You are playing into RD’s hands as this is just what he wants to here. He is not history, he hasn’t gone, he still owns the club the same as he did when he walked through the door.

    I can understand the excitement and missing fans returning because of Bowyer and the results. But don’t come crying if RD still owns the club next season and is still pissing everyone off.
    I fully understand this and my wife used the same argument yesterday when she told me I had ‘sold out’.

    However, I have decided that with Bow and JJ in charge we have a chance and I want to support them and the team. However, it’s only a brief break in my non attendance because if Roland is still here going into next season then my exile will continue again. I’m happy to be criticised for this, I’m doing it myself, but it’s where I stand at the moment.
    Huh? RD is here but you are going, but if he is here next, you aren't ? Each to his own I guess. I am still sticking to a single principle - HE IS HERE, I aint (home games)
    Like you say each to his or her own. Large has been going for years and like you makes that choice to go or not. No fan should be questioned on this in my opinion
  • 4 days to go until the 12th.

    Anyone else in the camp that the sale will be concluded by then?

    12th is my prediction date.
    I would willingly lose if it happens sooner
  • Don't read anything into the 12th date , there just comes a time when the club has to put ST's on sale
  • What's this thing about the 12th?

    Season tickets go on sale if club not sold by then.
