I wonder why Peter Varney was the point of contact for this new group ? Implies to me that it’s a group within PV’s sphere of influence. Would lead to the obvious conclusion that the interest is Middle Eastern ?
I don't think that is an obvious conclusion.
A possibility but not a conclusion.
PDV will know and have contacts to lots of people in lots of places,
He lives in Bromley so maybe that is where the interest is from? Just saying : - )

Very true but why not contact the club directly ? We know PV was treated shabbily when he approached the club before and I think I’m right in thinking he was introducing Middle East money ? Wouldn’t be a leap too far to conclude that either that previous group or part of it might take the route of going to PV ?
Yes, it would be to far to leap to "conclude". It might be so or it might not but it's not as he lives in Dubai and only has contacts with the middle east.
I'm sticking with my Bromley based consortium theory
Yes, the Bromley Consortium makes a lot of sense, apparently there's a meeting there on September 6th, the announcement will probably take place then.

There is a new interested party who contacted Varney and from there was put on to the club more than a month ago. PV isn’t going to tell me who that is, but he has said they are credible. My understanding is they have been talking to Murray and have also started due diligence of their own, but whether that relates to the above or not I can’t say.
Surprised Murray gave them the time of day if Varney had any sort of involvement?

His involvement was to redirect them to the club, so not really a factor, but don’t underestimate Murray’s appetite to be part of the next regime.

Excellent, as it means I can post this again...
Most understated 'It's Happening' meme ever. What's happening Peter? "Well, oxygen is reacting with drying oils and other unsaturated compounds to produce free-radicals and the reaction between water and isocyanates bringing about about polymerization. In other words, some paint is drying".

I don't think it's your skills at all. I think you just need an image of PV looking more excited. I just had a quick look, and if such a thing exists it ain't on the internet
I’ve said that Reg was part of the so called other interest all along. Can I have a promote and (it’s a bit greedy I know) be one of the ITK clique please.
If you have been promoted to the ITK league that means that someone else is relegated - @JamesSeed and his Aussies perhaps :-)
On yer bike jimmy boy, there’s a new kid’s in town...and take Henry’s buddy Doucher with you. It’s now time for real information to be circulated.
Wow, all that on the basis of this: "Aussies gazumped by another bidder apparently, source hasn't told me anything before so can't confirm reliability but thought i'd share. His source someone dealing with the takeover apparently".

I don't think anyone underestimates that man's ego or his sheer ignorance where he's not wanted.
Heard about ‘new’ bidders a few weeks back, but as Murray is supposed to be involved in a separate Brit bid I can’t see he’d be helping anyone, least of all Varney, if indeed he is involved. Of course none of this is 100% info as far as I’m concerned, not unless they announce themselves, or the club acknowledges them publicly. No idea what the Aussies are up to at the moment.
I might be wrong about this, but hasn't there been very considerable vitriol expressed in the direction of Peter Varney from Roland Duchatelet, and isn't there some 'history' between Varney and Murray too? We might need to Rip Van Winkle this story, like all the other ones so far.
Apologies for asking and maybe it’s really a question just for @NapaAddick but can anyone remind me if we think that if the Aussies are successful in their £37-45m bid for the club (and all property etc.) will they then still owe Stay-Pricks £65m or does that just go away?

Any idea where this meeting is taking place?
Tears emoticon thingy
Question mark.
No doubt the Aussies will be bombarding with messages any minute now .... :-(
It’s happening imminently soon innit.
Steady on @Greenie , you’re so excited at the thought you can’t get your words out straight.
