    I will keep em peeled! Prob a member of cafc staff. But addicks with good cameras look out for tall, thin bloke in a long black coat and flat cap in directors box.

    Peaky blinders

    Couldn't see razor blades in his cap.
    I think Aussie caps have sandpaper in them instead.

    Aussies ain’t got no dough

    Why have they bothered to go through the process if they have no dough?

    They have but it’s mouldy ol’ dough.

    Doesn’t mean he is willing to use it , Aussies have been back looking for funding and raising the nessesary (spelling) this has allowed the others back in

    Aussies have not got the required amount to do what’s needed

    But Murray told us that Roland had a agreed a price. Surely Richard wouldn't tell porkies?

    South African cap in the directors box, could mean nothing.

    So was there anyone of interest in the directors box apart from the floating ownerless South Africa Hat?

    Su Perks was seen wearing a large hat with corks hanging from it and humming "Tie me kangaroo down Chris"

    CASH. Which honestly is a lot more impressive that multi-billionaires with all their money locked in stocks or real estate or oil patches or up Putin's butt.

    Could only see Chris Parkes there today. JD seemed to be enjoying himself.

    And the guy in the Saffer cap. Confused me at first with it being green and yellow.

    Who was the bloke on the camel sat next to a bird in a burkha in the directors box? Any ideas?

    Club off the market ??

    For the time being maybe. Don't think Roland has ever been that desperate to sell. Not saying he won't mind, just think there could be a bit more distance to tread.

    Looking around today, people are starting to come back regardless. There's a bit of a buzz around the place.
    Add to that a lucrative run in with a possible play off semi final and final ahead and all that brings. Shirts & merchandise will be flying off the shelves! ( Heard a few as I was walking out saying they are going to pop in the shop to get the home shirt) as the Bowyer bounce bounds on. And then who knows?

    People are happy with the performances and Bowyers leadership, the club is still for sale but when, thats the who knows.

    Duchatelet has no future or interest in our club, he may be f*€cking about with the sale but I believe it will happen.

    Home shirts discounted to £20 may have tempted a few to buy.

    More on our cap magician, it was a fairly old bloke in a cricket/rugby cap with a woman next to him. Thought it was Aussie at first which would’ve been much more interesting but thought it was worth posting incase anyone knew about any South African interest.

    I don't know what or if anything has changed. I assumed the Aussies were about to complete.
    All I know is my mob are still in, but still haven't agreed a price.

    Shouldn't we change this thread title to "next week becomes maybe the week after next week"?

    No chief executive, no finance director, no chairman, no permanent manager, no season tickets. Not really the sign of someone planning to stick around.

    Debt circa £70m. Will take more than a few L1 play-off finals to cover that.
    Debt £70m, Napa.

    If the club isn't sold soon, one day you'll be proved right.
    And everybody will say, "Napa, take a bow, son" :smile:
