when i read in "Drinking During The Game "blog that its owner may be knocking the whole thing on the head (and knowing him) then its a sad sad state we are in--- i cant even think of an argument to counter his logic/feeling. Of course i hope he changes his mind and we again meet up at some god forsaken arm pit of northern parts discussing when we were warriors , but unless RD goes i just cant see anything but disintegration.
No idea if this is accurate or true but I’m posting what I’ve heard. In fact I hope it’s not.
Saudi’s have left negotiations and Australians have failed to agree a price or terms on how that might be paid.
Duchatelet wants £40 million plus add ons for on the pitch success’s and in future player sales and sell ons for five years after sale. This could conceivably take the figure over £50 - 55 million.
That I’m told is the impasse which to me at least sounds plausible and completely ridiculous. If there is truth in this and I hope some of the truly in the know blow this out of the water then we are fucked.
If @Airman Brown & @Redhenry 's posts are anything to go by I'd say your info is wide of the mark. Is your "source" ITK or just some sap who likes to yank your chain ???
However, if by the Blackburn game we know that this is true & we are going to be stuck with RD next season I'd support a BIG protest. Not just throwing pigs or taxis but a pitch invasion / sit down so that the game is called off (and not re-started 2 hours later ala Orient). If under FFP rules you've got to have a Finance Officer then the EFL will have to act. I'm all for making them squirm & getting media coverage. There is no way an owner who has shown no interest in the club can "ask" for any ongoing payments, especially if they relate to onfield success after he has left. Its a bit like selling your house (yes, that analogy again) & asking the new owners to give you 10% of the revaluation price 5 years down the line once they have built an extension & completely renovated the property.

The frustrating thing (well one of the frustrating things) is how secretive the process has been. Has there been a football takeover in which so little has actually been revealed, either by the selling party or even the potential buyers.
Nothing we know (about the buyers or price etc) is confirmed by the actual parties, but rather from "informed sources", who inevitable will contradict each other at times as nobody will have all the facts. I'm really confused why none of the buying parties have revealed their interest publicly, which is what happens with nearly all such takeovers.

Most likely explanation is that this is a condition of RD talking to them in the first place.
He appears to be obsessed with secrecy. The following story must go down as one of the silliest ever published by the club. Not a single trading figure included - even though the whole point of publishing accounts is that these have to be disclosed. It really is news for children.
They aren't the original Aussies though from what I can gather, as you may know, a friend told me last week he spoke to one of the guys in the original bid and he walked away after due diligence. This must be a second Aussie group which includes Muir.
if roly is looking for add ons ..id tell him to go right off ..honestly if the club progressed in the near future post sale it wouldnt be because of anything he or his regime has done ..anyone can see its in a bigger mess than when he bought us ....only a fool (admittedly some are out there) would pay for that ..football really is crazy

When it's on record that the club is up for sale, surely he can't insist that all buyers have to maintain a complete media blackout? After all it wasn't a secret that Alex McGleish was at a few games on behalf of a potential buyer (indeed the only one where there has been some sort of public presence)

Looked at the takeover thread...

Either way I enjoy these updates.
Actually, not even close.
Thx
Facebook seems to have a sizable anti CARD minority but the same people are anti- Duchatelet.
Ittv: two of the titans on there have directly opposing and contradicting information.
Basically non the wiser.
