    Trouble is, we just don’t know. All we know is the spin / version that one side wants to leak out.

    It could be the Aussies just can’t get the finance after having lost a couple of backers. It could equally be that after the recent sale of assets Roland still wants the same asking price for the club (but now with less assets), which the Aussies might think is taking the mick.

    None of us know. It’s painful.

    The stories about RD holding a fire sale aren’t coming from the Aussies at all.
    So what are the Aussies saying about this @Airman Brown ?

    Are they out?
    Maybe. Several people have said they are out but not heard of them saying it directly to anyone yet.
    Tbf haven’t heard officially that they were ever in.
  • Is anyone else in or are we certain there isn’t another potential buyer still working on it?

    Several people from inside the club? Horrendous if true

    Not as painful as Henry's countdown. Please please close the thread on 999 pages :wink:
    Count up not down

    933 so only 77 pages to go or three Grapevine posts

    I guess the submission to the EFL by Chris Parkes is about as official as it gets.
  • I have heard the Aussie bid fell apart last week. Club not worth what they want.

  • So the past fortnight we were getting the positive stories from the Aussies.That was until Roland's been to town and now were getting the other side of the coin.

    Both trying to confuse everyone. Nothing official is allowed due to NDA. I bet the announcement, one way or the other, will just come out of no where like the Konsa sale

    Keep calm, Keep the Faith,

    Everyone Altogether now...

    But your boys are going ride in on their bright, white Arabian Horses and save the day...right?

    If that is true they are as mad as Roly, why waste the time and money for the past year if they didn't want to pay the fee? Surely negotiations and legal wrangling only start when an agreement is likely. Unless DD threw up something, but everyone can see what a state the club is in.

    Who to believe..? Only two days ago JamesSeed gets a message from the Aussies stating they are ‘still working away at it'...and to be patient’

    People inside the club have rarely been a source on the whole saga, generally because they have been kept in the dark.

    The Aussies aren't saying anything at the moment, and only leak minimal info (since the beer meet).

    I’ll take your word for that shall I?
  • The interesting thing is that RD is offering big discounts on players for cash.

    You could always ask Chris.

    I had a message on Sunday saying it hasn't. Also had a message yesterday which didnt mention the takeover. If it had fallen through I'm sure he would have mentioned it.

    Not being funny James, but if their ever was a time to give them a call now would be it.
    It doesn't work like that unfortunately.
