Done deal, Airman Brown, Hackett Fairchild going down
Donald Muir, he’s not poor, Roland can you reduce the price a little more

Suppose if we only have 9 players it won't be too expensiveAirman Brown said:On the overseas trip, RD limited the budget to £20k, which is why they struggled with it. They either managed to find a way of doing it for £20k or the budget went up.
There is a (reasonable) view that Robinson wasted money last year going to Ireland twice.0 -

            KM is actually a bit of a minger4

            Been detached from following this too closely over the last week, but if I try and weigh up what seems the most likely rumour aspects its as follows
- strong rumours that following a review by the EFL, one or two investors who were part of the consortium no longer are
- strong rumours that the consortium reduced their offer, whether as a result of losing investors or for a different reason
- Roland 'reacted badly' and sold Konsa. Attempts were made to buy off the o/s director debt at a reduced rate, which appears to have been unsuccessful. RD has since re-engaged with forming budget plans based on a non-takeover
- Loose / fixed deadlines set for finalising consortium / proving funding capability / completion
- @JamesSeed now believes that the consortium have plugged the investor gap that was created during the EFL process
Not as detailed a summary as Henners excellent ones, but am I following what are perceived to be the most likely of the rumours / info being shared?6 - 
            I think James is right.4

Sounds very promising.JamesSeed said:
I was going to say in place, but just being carefulJamesSeed said:Hearing that new investor may be in place.
Funding for 5 year plan has been key, as they always said.
Never been a problem with buying the club. Funding had to be arranged for 5 year plan.
Hence investor had to be in place.
If investor was needed just to buy the club then we would indeed have problems as some have said.
The funding for the 5 year plan is actually the most important bit imho.4 -
