    Ok ill broker the dal.

    Redhenry’s Saudis chuck him £50m cash. Roland goes off and buys a massive pile of cocaine and smiles into the sunset.

    The Saudis have played a brilliant poker face from the start and will plough money into us like nobody’s busineess because they know exactly what our potential is.

    40k stadium within 2 years and the training ground is doubled in size.

    And then I wake up and realised I’ve pissed the bed and the club are still a clusterfuck

    Why would Lee Bower be so keen on continuing , Roly is just selling any assets , as in Konsa , Bauer maybe on his way , we have two young lads facing trail possibly

    This. If I was Bowyer I'd walk. Tell RD to his face what an utter cnut he is & tell him to try & find a manager now. Only way to get RD to sell is to have no staff that mean anything....he is already without a CEO & Finance Directors.....and no gialkeeping coach. NO manager outside the club would take the job on. Tell the EFL to do their job & ban RD for running an incompetent ship.

    I am so totally pissed off with it all.

    Quite. You couldn’t actually make it up. Most other takeovers seem to go through, albeit sometimes with the occasion hitch - but this is just dragging on and on. We have 2 absolute wankers in Roly and Muzza. I’m losing faith in the Australians by the day as well. Murray promised updates - more lies....unless I’ve missed something?

    If the Aussies are going to walk away, I wish they would just hurry up and do it - being in limbo isn’t any good to anybody....the club just continues to rot.

    When is this misery going to end?

    Way I see it Roland doesn't want to fund the club for another season. Depleted squad, no ceo or cfo he doesn't want to spend anymore money hence Bowyer again is caretaker.

    Next few days will be key if they are talking face to face

    We’d only be left with someone like Paul Jewell at this rate

    Sooner or later they will presumably turn up somewhere else & do precisely that :-(

    It's the not knowing that kills you. One of the parties make a definitive decision for god's sake.

    Says it all. Out of work manager who only wants a pay cheque regardless of the last few years of chaos due to the owner rolys puppet that’s all they would be

    Just hope the konsa sale and bowyer announcement is indeed the actions that convince the aussies that rd won't reduce on the price agreed - I have a feeling it may just happen now - ultimately, if muir is that rich and wants it to happen, it will, otherwise it's been a waste of time. I feel more confident it's about to happen than at any other time

    The question is does Muir want it that much?
    Having it out there that a Saudi prince walked away after bidding £40.5M has to worry the other investors on the aussie side with regards as to how much it's going to cost long term to realise their aim.
    The Saudi probably has a lot more than the combined wealth of the aussie consortium to get us to the promised land.
    Thats why I believe Muir might not want to put any more of his own in.
    Remember they've only collectively spent a million so far, a possible £200M more might be out of reach.

    I'm beginning to think that if Douchebag remains - I need to go further than my season-ticket boycott, and move to a total boycott.

    I am thinking the same.
    Me too. Sad times.
    It is sad, but the involvement of RD was the reason why I felt that a total boycott was necessary beginning in the 16/17 season.
    Bit late by then!

    I'm not proposing anybody checks in to the place and give the vicious old lunatic any money.
    My crystal ball shows 'Hotel Stayen' one star out of 5, "...shabby fixtures, bad smells, insufficient staff, dreadful atmosphere, no response to emails..." that sort of thing.

    Dead pigeon on hotel balcony - Oh that is actually true!!!!
    I've just been on tripadvisor & slated the place.

  • Wasn't it a Kuwaiti rather than Saudi who walked away? I seem to remember it was because their economy tanked.

    He claims that there is still a British party involved.

    Seems curious to me that absolutely nothing has leaked around this British interest (assuming it's not the Donald Muir one). Unless it's a British group fronting for the Saudis? Something smells dodgy.
