  • RD might be here because he is staying on and he needs to put things in place at the club.
    As we speak he is the status quo, and we're going down down deeper and down.

    If buts and maybes from dear old Crawley
    I could say Seth Plum is expected to win Euromillions, but it is not certain as it depends on a number of things, like buying a ticket, but I am confident that Seth has the intention to win.

    #cafc takeover update. It is hoped - and I must emphasise that word - that the takeover will happen this week. But, but, but - there are variables that mean this is not definite.

    I've been told that nothing issue-wise on the 'fit and proper' EFL test. But Andrew Muir's consortium have had to be patient in this process. #cafc

    Muir flew back into the UK before the weekend. Duchatelet not slowing deal - he just wants to offload #cafc.

    So what's stopping the deal from going through? Both parties want it to happen.
    It does beg that question.

    The Aussie have been on the scene since March 17 and Duchatelet expected a sale in at least as far back as January 18 as he didnt see any need to replace Meire as he was about to sell.

    Money, either the lack of or disagreement on price I guess. The "when we know what division we are in" never made sense with the lack of replacement for Meire six months ago and make no sense now given the deal still hasn't been announced.

    It feels to me like the fat lady is clearing her throat.
  • All I would say is how amazed I am at the number of "sources telling someone this an that", yet look carefully and most are copies of the same tune our Mr James Seed tells, no wonder it gets so confusing on this forum at times, I will stick to James and Airman for news and updates in future, then I wont lose any more hair.

    All of this seems strangely familiar. Bloody cheek!

    Edit: kidding

    I guess all will be revealed, and my guess it'll all be very tedious. I was told it's all to do with Slater/Jiminez era.
    They also said they've been working on this deal for two years, which is why they've spent £1m so far.

    Should your last paragraph be linked to your post on the lies thread?

    I think there is a possibility that it is the Aussies playing hard ball. Rolly is in a very difficult situation at this point in time because of the state the club is in staff wise and is therefore in a weak negotiating position. Maybe they have reduced their offer a bit knowing they hold the all the cards?

    There has been nothing to stop them sounding out agents about possible transfer targets and may have a manager set up. They could therefore they be ready to move quickly as soon as all agreed.

    The less Rolly gets the better, but for all our sanities I hope the deal does get done this week.

    Said for the past 2-3 weeks at least, I was told they believe it would be announced before the World Cup begins. Of course they would’ve hoped sooner, but ultimately, I have repeatedly said Thursday 14th June.

    We shall see. Fingers crossed.

    And thank you, @JamesSeed it is always appreciated and what can’t be stressed enough is the key words Henry highlighted. People, please don’t jump on his back. This is solid information.

    The end is nigh.

    Thanks. I don't personally think the delays have been anything to do with the World Cup, although you can see why they would want it done and dusted by then.

    No disrespect to anyone but I lost interest in this thread months ago after the first 100 “should be done by this weekend” posts, and have just clocked what WIOTOS means, and with that, that’s exactly what I’m gonna wait for, up the addicks sooner the better the worlds most frustrating forum thread ends the better!

    To all......

    This is a direct message from one of the consortium. Yes we're all fed up with false dawns, but it's only a message saying the EFL haven't blocked the bid, and that they HOPE to be able to make an announcement later in the week.

    No one's guessing dates here. Nothing's definitive. It's merely a message, which expresses some positivity.

    You don't have to read the thread if you don't want to. Certainly wouldn't blame you for staying away.

    Please don't shoot the messenger. None of this is my opinion, or my prediction.
    Thanks @JamesSeed. I welcome your posts & know you have the best of intentions. Please tell your contact that we are rooting for them & hopefully will be able to give them a great welcome at their first home game v Brighton.
    Passed that on.

    @JamesSeed I wasn’t insinuating that the delay was anything to do with the World Cup. I was merely saying that I was told around 2-3 weeks ago that it was believed to be announced prior to it beginning, hence why I’ve said Thursday 14th June since around 24th May.

    All of your information is brilliant, but was just explaining in more detail of why I have said Thursday 14th June.
    Sorry I misread your post mate.

    I genuinely think no one knows anything for sure, including the Aussies, hence Henry's WIOTOS.

    Would be nice to move on to talk about transfer targets or signings, rather than this takeover saga that is getting so boring now.
    Completely agree.

    It has become tedious, a long time ago, but it shows how complicated and how much of a mess things are/were. The sooner it’s announced the better and we can begin the real hard work and assembling a squad good enough for promotion.
    Way things are going I will be happy if we can cobble a squad together that avoids relegation!

  • Big week this one, one way or t’other

    And I'm off on holiday. The gilfriend will get very angry of I spend the whole time on this site waiting for it to happen.

    Then again I did pay for the holiday as she's still a student (scrounger sponger etc.) So I'm probably within my rights to tell her to fuck off.
    Yes, but you won't will you?

    Really appreciate your comments James Seed but back off on your cringe factor with I’m first this that and the other , it’s not pretty

    Agreed. You and @Airman Brown are right, but it just felt a bit creepy seeing this info appearing a few days later like that. But apparently he had that info confirmed today, hence his tweets. Good stuff. It really is about to happen, isn't it.
