  • Only Roland knows when the club will be sold .
    He will decide when he has had enough and accept someone's offer.

    The rest is just noise.

    So we are being purchased by a consortium of West Stand supporters?

    So the Aussies are buying a house for £250k and the Americans are going to rent the box room?

    Am I doing this right?

    Sky has been taken over by Americans so likely more interest in Football, they love a great success story so we should be high on most peoples list

    Aussies showing Americans round ground yesterday who they were looking to add to their consortium

    Source?
    Couple people on twitter, thought I’d share
    If it’s on Twitter then surely it’s in the public domain. Can’t we see the tweets ?

    The only tweet I can find about its has never posted ITK stuff before. Wouldn't say its "fake news" but wouldn't hang my hat on it being true. He probably has been told its true.

    Is that a clue, that Paul Young has bought us?

  • Dubious about the idea that it's the Aussies showing the Americans around. How can you show someone around something that you don't own?

    Yeah. Reads like the Aussies hung around for so long Roland actually gave them a job!

    so let me get this straight.. the aussies are selling shares in their company to buy out another company (baton) that owns the club (another company). If i was an interested investor i would run to the hills.

    if the aussies are looking for other investors, then surely the other investors would own shares in the holding company (the one that gerard murphy is an officer, forget the name)?

    So they are looking for other investors. Not sure what is new or worrying about that. We've known they are a consortium from the start.

    Well the Aussies are committed. They've said there ain't no mountain high enough to stop them closing the deal.

    Iron Maiden, but that was about Native Americans fleeing genocide at the hands of European immigrant racists, or the founding fathers of a nation, depending on your level of education.

    I went to the Coventry game in the end with another mate (despite going to a party the night before and thought I would miss it with a hangover). He hadn't been for a while but pointed out to me "I see the Directors box is full up. He enquiried "Are these these the Aussies still or parties interested?". At the time I thought it was the full at the time but did say to him "It has been busier latetly but they maybe due to other team's board members giving more tickets away to their friends and family. However, I came away thinking I have not seen it full age like that for ages.

    I managed to go to the Coventry game in the end but went with another mate who hadn't been for a while pointed out to me "I see the Directors back is full up. Are these the assues or parties interested". At the time I thought it was the fullest at the time but did say to him "like other times" it could the opposing team's oard members bringing their family and friends with them but it was packed out. Any co-incidence?

    Tiny whinge. Can you please read what you've written before posting. That was a hard read!!
