Are you SURE you're a financial advisor? Only you seem to have a very very short term attitude to life.golfaddick said:I've said it before & I'll say it again..........IF and its a big IF, the Aussies are simply delaying the purchase so that they dont have to pay now & are waiting until December then that is a very high risk strategy. We all know that we are short on players NOW and that by January we could be well off the pace in terms of table position. Surely the quicker you buy the club the quicker you can sort out the problems - get players in before the loan window shuts & give yourself half a chance to be top 6/top 10 by January when you can re-assess and then buy the players you need. As every game passess & we don't win then we are getting worse.
as I said...........its a big IF...........and if true then they are more foolish than I ever thought possible.
If you were advising a client about an investment would you always be looking for the immediate short term answer?

Most financial advisers look to the short term, cos it gets their commission payed into their bank accounts quicker.Off_it said:

I half expected that!KiwiValley said:
In fact they are making great progress - all parties.ShootersHillGuru said:
I think I was speculating that perhaps Murray is involved in the mysterious second bidder. I certainly think it’s the sort of thing he might do. Not as a major player perhaps but even to fascilitate a deal. Keeps him at the top table ? Perhaps the bid is less than the Aussies and is a fallback position for Duchatelet. I accept that flies in the face of LdT saying it was effectively a race. A bloody slow one at that.Henry Irving said:
If it is Murray why did the party stop talking then come back. He's a director.ShootersHillGuru said:
Muzza ?Henry Irving said:
How would he know that?razil said:Another thing he said last night was the second bidder would submit papers immediately and swiftly if/when they moved
I hear they are surmounting half the problems between where they're at and a done deal at a fairly rapid rate of knots. I have every confidence they will continue to surmount half the problems they face at any given point. So confident in fact, that i think they will start solving half the problems in half the time it took them to solve half the problems previously AND on an ongoing basis. Probably exponentially.2 -
We are next topic on talksport shortly2

However, the experience I have (as a customer) dealing with people in insurance, mortgage brokers and banks etc. is generally bad. It seems to me brokers are always trying to max out on their profit at my cost. Have you tried renewing an insurance policy lately?
Apologies to you if you are in the trade and a honest broker as they say.1 -

anything from the Aussies then @JamesSeed3

the club telling lies.............surely not.WSS said:

Bloody hell. That’s big news if true. Wtf is going on.golfaddick said:3 -
Do the Australians have funds? Could this be the hold up, is the asking price too high? If they do buy the club, will they have money to turn things around?0

I have heard 2 separate rumours that the Aussie deal is dead. Also you have to ask yourself, if they were still keen why have none of them watched any games since the Shrewbury games.2

My restraining order against them is still in force.Rothko said:anything from the Aussies then @JamesSeed
Joking apart, I think GM has had a break (I know, I know), but they do seem to be keeping a massively low profile at the moment.
They are being kept informed about latest developments (not just by me of course). I still haven’t heard anything recently since ‘it’ll be worthwhile in the end’.
My belief is that they’re close, and they don’t want to risk jeopardising anything by breaking NDA.
That’s a guess.1 -
Why dont Roland and his lackies just say that then... Of course they wont know the details yet all they need to say is: "The issue is with the Aussies" and thats it, its off their plate and the buck isnt passed to the EFLGlovepup said:Do the Australians have funds?

The way Airman's source has spoken makes it sound as though its Roland holding something up his end1 -

If the club is indeed telling lies about the EFL documents then surely it’s with the complicity of the Australians in order to obscure from perhaps their inability to complete their consortium or something else or CAFC are deliberately looking to make it look like the delay is with the Aussies.
If it’s the latter then perhaps the Australians might think it the right time to make a statement. If I’m being honest I think the former is unfortunately more likely.
Whatever the reason. It stinks the house out.1 -
The reason the club has not been sold is that Duchatelet wants too much money and no one will pay it. That's all there is to it. Everything else is noise.72

If I had a Pound for ever rumour along those lines I’d be joining Henry and buying the club.Rudders22 said:I have heard 2 separate rumours that the Aussie deal is dead. Also you have to ask yourself, if they were still keen why have none of them watched any games since the Shrewbury games.
If they had pulled out, what possible benefit could there be to them in keeping it secret?5 -
@Airman Brown as far as you know, is your source different to that of @Addickted ? If so, then it is absolute dynamite.2

Interesting, I can't see the EFL intervening on the bonuses issue, but they won't like being used in this way if it's untrueWSS said:1
