    ive been away and cant read that amount of posts on this thread to catch up, so can anyone give a quick update whether it is Red Bull that have now taken us over and is everyone happy with our new owners and with the amount of money they intend to invest,and is it ok to now renew my season ticket?thanks

    We will be taken over, wait a few more weeks(apparantly).

    Don't buy your season ticket yet as Duchatelet will get the dough.

    Hope you enjoyed your holiday.
    yes great holiday thanks Elfs

    thanks for update,i will hold out on season ticket but do you think it would be ok to take up the 2 for £20 home shirt offer?
    Definitely not!

    Get the new kit and then the money goes to the new owners.

    To me it sounds as if there are two parties that have done DD, know the price, reckon it is too high and are waiting for RD to reduce it. Promoion would have made it do-able. L1 not.

    How do you derive that from numerous people saying it's with the EFL and we're waiting for the greenlight?
    Keep up!

    RD And they are advancing but well, when exactly they will be close is always a big question mark, you know and it really depends on the questions today with these things as lawyers and stuff and supporters are er sometimes it’s complicated

    ROT 2 It’s not just waiting for the English football league then, or

    RD Err I don’t think that will be a problem huh, so there were

    ROT 1 Is it…..

    RD Also the problem of the funding huh, of course huh

    ROT 1 Is it the Australian consortium?

    RD Well, there are still two, two parties interested huh

    I think this has been gone through already lol?

    If you want to be forensic:

    'RD says: Also the problem of the funding huh, of course huh

    ROT Is it the Australian consortium?

    RD Well, there are still two, two parties interested '

    So he's saying there was a second consortium, but they had problems with funding, because when he's directly asked if it's the Australian consortium that has the problem with funding, he introduces this other consortium.

    I think you'll learn a lot more over the coming weeks.

    You won't hear any more from my source because it's reached a stage where he can't say anything :-)

    The person who has told me there are issues with the funds is the the self same person who ROT doorstepped on the weekend

    All be it second hand from someone working with him and his son

    Now I don’t see why it benefits him to lie about there being an issue with funding and he is the only one who would truly know

    Is it because no amount would ever be good enough for him until reality becomes unavoidable?

    No because I was told in the same conversation that a fee was agreed the issue was upto that point the only delay and that’s what I posted I believe it was along the lines of

    “As of 645pm tonight ( a few days back) the only hold up was the aussies had yet to prove funds to complete “

    I also said they may well have the funds or be able to secure them but they had not at that point

    Then RD said the same and James posted that two investors had still to sign off

    Without that sign off the EFL were not the delay it was at cafc end

    Ok, but now we’ve established its with the EFL, so funds must be in place.

    I thought it was said on here that it was at EFL weeks a go

    I would of presumed it was true back then and awaiting ratification once all the ticks were in the boxes our end

    It may well have been the EFL that wanted the proof and it was them waiting who knows

    Might be wrong but don’t think it was confirmed it was with EFL no more than ten days ago and that it would only be completed once the Sunderland takeover had gone through, believe that went through last week so they’ve only spent a few days looking at our takeover so far

    Being a bank holiday as well, they probably finished on Thursday, watched all the play-offs at Wembley and start looking again later this week, they are in no hurry

    I would be thrilled if your source is RD NLA, I believe the man is an idiot and personally wouldnt believe a word that comes out of him.

    I think the end is nigh and once he has gone we can all just move on and get the club moving again.

    There have been many false dawns, I have fallen for 2/3 of them but this time I believe he will be gone within a week or two.

    I'd still be a lot lot happier if we heard from someone official (not someone from CL or a journalist who reads CL) that the takeover has indeed gone forward to the EFL.

    So would I but Duchatelet doesn't care what we think or know, we don't matter, and there's no one else at the club with the authority to say anything.

    We may all disagree with his running of our club but he is clearly not an idiot. He’s ridiculously rich so clearly has something about him.

    Out of interest, what was he like when you met him @Swisdom ?

    Personally, I’ve never run more than a bath. And I think he’s an idiot
