Perhaps all of the ITK have been scared off by all the abuse they get when they give us some information that some do not like
What, like posting that their contact has said " not long now" or "maybe a bit of pain for a couple more weeks but then good" or "we've not pulled out"......about 2-3 months ago.
Devil if anything is said, devil if it is not, why have this thread if all who contribute to it are ridiculed?, nothing what anyone says on here can be taken as gospel, but there are some who have a good ear to the ground so to speak, but the trashing of those who have tried to give what they have heard has stopped many from contributing.
Look at the above posts, asking for any news, nothing, pressure applied to Jimmy Seed so much that his stories were wrong etc, helped in part in him leaving this blog. Until the fat lady sings - in this case the club itself, all the comments on here are no better - or worse than Jimmy Seed's, some of you should remember that.
Really?
Most people who find out snippets and post on here are generally thanked for their contribution - with the possible exception of @DOUCHER who a lot thought was on a wind up for various reasons.
@jimmy seed was questioned because he kept saying multiple times the deal was all but done and he tended to overreact to any criticism, @Airman Brown has had some abuse, but from the usual characters and it's like water off a ducks back to him.
Can't remember @Redhenry or @NLA or a couple of other posters who have provided information in good faith being pressured off this board.
If you're posting sensitive information on a subject that virtually all of us are deeply involved in, then don't be surprised you get some robust questioning on the source and content of that information.
Was never on here to wind people up but that's the way it went after some of the abuse - it was funny sometimes but to be honest the whole takeover saga has become boring and when it didn't happen in the summer I just decided to forget about it and thankfully the football is very watchable. I haven't heard anything for ages but other than the assertion that rd wouldn't be the owner this season, my info was always spot on. I guess nobody thought the Aussie deal was going to go pairs at the last.
I did
True - i was always told the british group were favoured as there were concerns about the aussies financially - lets just hope the brit deal is based on them selling another club first and that happens soon - otherwise i can't understand what its all about. Villa got bought out in a couple of weeks, this has been going on forever - its boring now
So if this "british group" have been around a long time, almost as long as the Aussies, why haven't they done the deal - insufficient finances perhaps ?
Also, who "favoured" this group, RD or more likely, RM ?
I think @DOUCHER is fairly accurate in his assumption here.
I'm convinced the 'British' buyer is involved in another Club and is waiting for the ownership there to be resolved before they step into the breach. The tightness of the NDA is there, because of the possible reaction at their existing Club, rather than our reaction.
Perhaps they've agreed RDs consolidated asking price and he's happy to wait - unless the Aussies can at least match that, which they've either struggled to do or are unwilling to match.
I suspect they're just as desperate to find out who the other group are.

It's becoming a Soap!, will be comparing it to Coronation Street as a long runner if it's not sorted soon.
Maybe I am being generous to the Aussies, but TOO generous? So far they've stayed the course, and I don't envy them have to deal with Roland. Maybe with hindsight there are things they would have done differently, but they have shown real commitment to the cause and that will do for a start. They seem to be of good reputation and they have had success in running a major sporting enterprise. If they think we'll do for them then it's natural to hope that they will do for us.
When KM left it seemed like the writing was on the wall for Roland, that his time was almost up. That was 286 days ago, since when our dear old club has ended up being run by a second-hand bookkeeper. Like a toothless dog the EFL has shown it cannot bite, only give you a nasty suck. We are having to be patient but it's surely no problem if we wind up in good hands. Only time will tell.
As we don't know who is in the consortium other than Muir it's hard to say what they are like. Ditto, they have no sporting track record either
Indeed we have no idea who else might be involved, in what capacity, and with what background and relevant experience. As yet. I am trusting to Muir wanting around him kindred spirits with a shared business and sporting philosophy. Perhaps it's expecting too much and we should stick with the Addicks unofficial slogan - Fear the Worst, Hope for the Best .... Spes Optima Peiora Timentur.

Bolton are claiming that currently they have received two bids of £30 million for their club, one from a US consortium and one from an Asian businessman based in the Middle East. Both bidders are said to have provided adequate proof of funds.

Worth picking up a copy of WSC this month. He's actually worse than Roland in terms of financial debt.
I'm sure Ashley has his faults, and there's no doubt that with a bit of investment Newcastle would be doing much better than they currently are. But at least whenever Newcastle have been relegated, he's spent money to ensure they get straight back up.

Let it die a natural death, you would not treat a sick dog as bad as this. There is no takeover, the Aussies do not have the funds and there are no Americans waiting in the wings to step in.
Roland will still be our owner this time next year.

Or maybe not.
