    Being mentioned elsewhere -: that its just been heard the Aussies have pretty much walked away, RD looking for personnel to run the club next season!! Well if that's true we are in the deep brown smelly stuff. I can only hope that its not, or, if it is, the 'second' group, according to RM are still around. The Saudi's seem to have gone, Donald Muir's group pulled out ages ago, now with this news I get the distinct feeling that RD will be here for a lot longer yet, and CAFC could be in big trouble!

    even if the Aussies have walked he wants to sell and will have to at some point otherwise he will have to keep covering losses and the club will all further and further and be worth less and less.

    Care to know more about this company or other Belgian companies

    Financial data of Staprix

    Profit/Loss
    € -4.334.587 -67% € -2.603.009 -351% € -577.440 -103% € 19.516.473

    € 7.902.087 -35% € 12.236.675 -18% € 14.839.684 -4% € 15.417.124

    Looks like RD hasn't needed any of his own cash to fund Staprix, it had cash from 2013 on a trading profit made in this year

    That's interesting. Until 2014, Staprix basically only owned Standard. So if it was flush with cash we might surmise that it was cash he took out of Standard. The Standard Socios always complained bitterly of a €30 million "dividend" which he withdrew from Standard's coffers but I am not sure in which year that took place.

    On 10th June 2013, whilst owner of Standard, Duchatelet paid himself a dividend of 30m Euros. On 24th June 2015 he took a further 10m Euros, - which was paid in instalments.

    In addition he paid himself a salary of 5m Euros, during the 4 years he owned the Belgian club.

    I'd say that unless one of the aussies has got up onto the meeting room table and laid down a large brown cable on Duchatalet's rep's notepad, things are still being negotiated and getting ever closer. Fingers crossed.

    I thought you were ITK or are you finally admitting all your wind up dickery has been just that?

    but as the Bowyer interview says he will sell five, bring in four free transfers, Bow has guaranteed a top six finish, pushing for top two, trim the other staff to bare bones, close ticket office, ticket sales on line only, stop producing a programme, reduce the portion size of chips and IF we happen to go up the Club will actually be worth more. This is where we are heading. Meanwhile we should all be heading to Belgium .....

    I think he is saying he is in the know and does not agree with Angledust and that talks ongoing right now.

    Always was gonna be without a takeover, would imagine with Sarr and Igor he was one of the top earners.

    If Angeldust is correct then I’m fairly sure that we’ll hear something official from the Aussies.

    Fk me this is bad.
    If the Aussies are gone then we are in a terrible mess. One that could take generations to recover from.

    I do wonder if all this nonsense from Duchatelet is really all about boosting tourism to Limburg.

    Seems Roly tried to flush the aussies out and called their bluff. They couldn’t stump up the cash so we move on to the next.

    If the Saudis were offering a slightly lower amount I wonder if Roly is now pissed off add rejecting them

    I wonder how Murray will explain the Aussies walking away and when the 'British consortium' fail to materialise.

    I’m starting to think that my RD sale date of 1st January 2019 might be quite astute.

    Oh hell. He nearly came round to watch the footy at mine, as I had some other old friends/parents from the school attending.

    Perhaps that’s why he couldn’t make it in the end. I’m not bugging him again though.

    You know when people come onto this thread and complain that there are hundreds of posts they can't be bothered to read through, but want a quick summary of what's happening?

    They're all going to be really pissed off when they realise they've missed the announcement about the special meeting taking place at noon tomorrow at the Valley.

    Especially when they find out that the press haven't even been invited yet.

    Anyway, good luck to those involved. And I hope the handover goes as smoothly as possible.
