It's a done deal, imminent, not happening, happening this weekend, happening in two weeks. They haven't got enough money, they have got enough money. It is Duchatelet holding up the deal, it is the Aussies holding up the deal. A deal has been agreed, a deal hasn't been agreed. Have I left something out. It's a real bugger being ITK.
Meeting could be at the weekend I suppose. Maybe they finally get to meet RD. Poor sods.
I thought they'd already done that?
Seems odd to me that we can be at the 'papers with the EFL stage' yet the buyers and owners have still not met. Hopefully their associates have.
CAFC is only 2% of his empire, so RD clearly doesn't have time to waste on meetings. I know that one of the consortium hadn't met RD, and suspect the other hadn't either, but don't know 100%. All meetings were with 'his people'. And to be fair they did say it's been a 2 yr process already, and they're in it for the long haul.

There are only two parties in the consortium?
There are other investors, but not sure a. how long they've been involved and b. whether they've been directly involved in the negotiations.

But doucher/Colin are never wrong though
Cut them some slack....even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Spit it out dick ;-) Would you rather anyone with any info kept it to themselves? How then would you be able to copy and paste everything to another forum, and then slag off the people behind it?
No one is in the know. A few people pick up bits of info, and are happy to share here, which has got to be a good thing. Occasionally people get it wrong. That's bad luck. Occasionally people make stuff up. That's just sad.
But we're all enjoying the thread in our own way, cheers.
Just a co-incidence, or Duchatalet still looking to squeeze more money out of his CAFC tenure?
He isn't getting another penny out of me.
I’m not sure I see a link. RD clearly wants shot, they’ve been no suggestion from any of the sources or recordings that isn’t the case, and in relation to a £30/40m deal, a handful of ST money adding up to no more than a few k is not really going to be a factor.
Despite a number on here saying they would buy a season ticket once RD departed, given the length of time this takeover is taking to get over the line I suspect a lot of fans will continue to hold off buying a season ticket for the coming season and see how things develop. It's not as if we will be selling out the ground on a weekly basis in league one.

That's really interesting. So the "consortium" comprises just two people, Muir and one other. And behind them, they have a number (unknown) of investors. Is that about right?

Sometimes it is not people get things wrong but that the situation changes.
Most of the so called ITK posters have realigned their positions at one stage or another due to new information from their sources.
I read every post on this bloody thread and I thought it was going to happen this weekend. I've even ordered more wine boxes than usual. ASDA will have to send out a separate van for me. So where did I miss the delayed bit? Am I just seeing what I want to see?
JamesSeed. You say that we're all enjoying this thread in our own way. Sorry, but that is utter rubbish. How you can say that whilst the future of CAFC hangs by a thread (no pun intended) is beyond me.

I want to buy tickets as a symbol of both celebration Duchatelet has gone, and as a sign of support for a fresh start.

Seth, a few weeks ago I was feeling exactly the same even though I didn't see me getting to every home game. But the delay in completing the takeover has reduced my enthusiasm. I am afraid I have got to that stage where I refuse to waste my time watching the same old dross which is inevitable if the squad is not over-hauled. So I will await developments on the takeover with interest (but the delay is becoming tedious), and if the squad is improved and the team starts playing some decent football I will start going to games.

When does the EFL insist that one of its member clubs has a CEO and FD?
Richard Cawley said that this would soon become a requirement but when?
I'm sure Tone could step up to the plate as FD, you've got to have a pretty good head for figures when putting a lot of cut sandwiches out on a platter. I'll be all under control.
I remember the day when my CL Badge was awarded. One of the proudest days of my life. Was in the Liberal Club by a be cardiganed gentleman who pinned it on my chest and then kissed me on both cheeks.

Have I left something out. It's a real bugger being ITK.
Roland's got money on it, hoping to reclaim his lost earnings.
Meanwhile STs go back on sale on 11 June.

I am glad they post.
