I can’t see why a post on social media would scupper a deal. Ok it’s a bit naive but if the guy is prepared to pay what Roland wants I can’t see that issue alone stopping a deal. Also LVT was there so he could easily have said no photos please and reminded them of the NDA requirements.
De truck to Roland - Fawaz’ bitch just posted on twitter. Roland - oh I’m not selling to them then.
I find this unlikely and I don’t buy cawleys tweet earlier as I don’t think he had any insight into this and is feeding off scraps.
My money is that it’s on!
Yeah. Cawley? What would he know? He may be a diligent, professional and thorough journalist providing qualified information from public and private sources, but why would that make him trustworthy?
Whereas I'm much more convinced by the fact you're prepared to put money on It, having had access to more than just scraps: you've seen a photo as well.
Yeah, I reckon your detailed, forensic examination of masses of information is much more reliable and accurate than anything a well-connected, reputable and experienced, full-time professional would come up with.
Love it chizz
I’m just a twat speculating like everyone else. My take on Cawley having no knowledge is that I don’t believe he has a voice at the club anymore that would feed him news. I just base that on the tone of his tweets recently. I doubt de truck even knows who he is. Even everitt hasn’t piped up with his normal “oh I heard this a while back but didn’t bother reporting it as I didn’t believe it” line.
We shall see but these clowns weren’t sightseeing and why put out that tweet if there were no legs in it?
Having had time to reflect, if they bring in a Varney as CEO (or similar) plus a group of people who know the club to run it, he might have learnt lessons and it’ll be ok. If he does what he did at Forest and run it himself, we could be in trouble.

Cawley said he's been *told* there's "no chance of a deal happening".
That's good enough for me to think there's a good chance it won't happen.
When we bring a player in I tend to check the views of the fans of the club he departed.
Generally speaking that will be the most accurate and honest assessment you'll get, much better than you'll get from any management team with their vested interest and much, much better than any self recommendation that that player may delude to. For that reason I accept the Forest fans view. I do not want this character anywhere near our club.
Absolutely agree with you 100%;its like you've been told that you have been cured of a terminal disease but informed at the same time that you are going to suffer with piles as a consequence!!!!
I reckon the Aussies will be making their move within the next 12-24 months.

First rule of the Aussie bid
There is no Aussie bid
Oh but there is. Because it has been submitted to the EFL for the ODT. And according to @Addickted , it passed. And the EFL are apparently a bit pissed off that de Turck goes round suggesting otherwise.
Other than pics do we know if he has actually even put in an offer? We had pics of the Aussies with scarfs at an actual match. Which is a lot more than this. And that led to nothing. So this may mean less than we think.

Just give Roland an extra £50 and he will forget all about the picture. It's just the money for him.

Can’t for one minute believe that Goldfinger has pulled the plug (assuming there was a plug there to be pulled in the first place) because of the photos. Nah.....he might have instructed his lawyers to make waves about it as in....”our client is concerned that our mutual agreement not to disclose interest has been significantly compromised etc etc” but if someone is prepared to pay a price to his satisfaction he wouldn’t walk away.....why would he, really does it make that much difference to a deal being done, of course not? Might make it a bit more difficult re media interest (which can be disruptive) and public speculation, but I can’t see it being a deal breaker.......if anyone can explain why that might be the case I would like to hear it.
According to the Evening Standard the club will not be sold to Fawaz Al-Hasawi due to the photograph appearing on social media.

I find this not credible to be honest. If he was offering what Rolly what he wanted I am sure the club would be sold to him. Sounds like an excuse to me.
Just a thought but if you're being shown around the Valley by the organ grinders helper, why would you sign a NDA? It's a bit like buying a house. If you like what you see, you put in an offer. It's at that point you sign the NDA, isn't it?

In 2 weeks time we'll wake to find out that Andrew Muir was actually a fantasy alter ego of @JamesSeed and the consortium and bid was a consequence of his writers block and sleep deprivation.
thinking about this. what is the benefit in the club saying there is no chance of purchase by fawad? very little, if anything they'd want to talk it up to get other bidders active. so if Cawley has been told that I'm inclined to believe it. perhaps what bowyer said is true...rd isn't prepared to sell to just anybody.
on the other hand they could be aware that fans will be running about a sale to fawad and denying it purely to prevent more protests etc.
I really hope the aussies come through this. the little info I have heard on them make me thibk they'll be good owners even if they don't have pots of cash like rd and fawad. they may be more competent and understand the fabric of football and fans.
that type of leadership served us well in the 90s after all.

I'm not sure of the legality, but I think it would be great if the EFL kept a public register of all applications and results. That might focus a few minds. Especially if the introduced some more appropriate (stringent) criteria.

No he didn’t make any bid. He told my mate later that night that £50m plus the debts is way to much.

Rubbershow worried about more protests tells local press officer there is nothing in it cause of a breach in NDA.
Social media quiets down, protests averted.
Rubbershow gets his performance bonus.
A month later Faraz completes purchase
RD don’t care.
