    Yeh but my suggestion, Donald Trump was wearing a red tie and I was poo-pooed!

    A red tie is always a good indication that a multi-squilionnaire is going to but a football club that plays in red, except for Cardiff of course and then they just change your colours!

    Just read reams' thread.

    Honestly sounds like ackworth has discovered VPN's and been disappearing into his fantasy land.

    That message I'm sure was from tony jiminez' cousin, and I'm to inherit millions from a Nigerian prince.

    So should I put the Champers back in the fridge then?

    It looks as though my initial comments have stirred talk of the owner somehow selling up and moving on this week. As anyone with any idea about football would know a takeover this close to the end of the window is not favourable to either the new buyer , nor Roland himself , whom I expect to fully excercise the term firesale in January. Although that has put a dampener on it I will reveal more on what I definitely know.
    Firstly , there are not one, but TWO offers that have been placed on the table of Roland.
    One matches his asking price ( which seems quite frankly stupid to me) and the other , although falling around 6 million short, contains some very familiar faces ( not to be confused with the familiar face coming in on a transfer within the week.)
    Summarising all of this, I'd feel offer 2 would be one that would definitely represent a new era of stability for the club without much potential growth beyond the championship.
    Offer one on the other hand, although once again linking to foreign investment , seems rather exciting for the club should it progress as expected.
    Just a question , we've never had an owner in the Forbes rich list before have we?

    No but we have an owner now who is always rummaging around in the bargain bucket at Shu-Time in Strood!!!!

    Interesting times... let the agony begin.

    Reading this confirms to me the bloke is a massive wind up merchant .
    I bet he's loving the attention with this cryptic bullshit.

    Wind up, somehow posting it on a more obscure site like the CAFC Picks front page makes it seem more believable. If you want to believe it you can have fun looking through the Forbes rich list:

    Close enough to get us excited but far enough away for us to not be too demanding.

    It's such absolute bollocks.
    Why would a bid be on the table now for one of the party's to say 'nah you're alright, just wait until February and we'll do it then'

    Transfer window is still open so Roland would be fire selling now if the bid was that attractive.

    Not saying it's not bollocks but..

    If he'd signed up to something he wouldn't fire sale and jepordise it.

    Also possibly due to the closeness to the transfer window, the price/deal is dependent on the quality of what we have at the moment in place. What better measure than seeing where we are at xmas?
  • Yep. That's convinced me that it's a total wind up. Normal service to be resumed.
  • So someone makes an offer matching RDs valuation. RD has a firesale in January selling a load of the companies most liquid assets and that offer still stands. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

    You may laugh, but this IS Roland 'I'm so super smart' Duchatelet we're talking about here. I am half convinced half the things he does are out of pure contrariness rather than any kind of logic. (The other being based on very questionable logic instead.)
