    If it’s true they were even there, at least it shows there is still interest.
    Price as we all know is the issue.
    Perhaps he’s getting ready to drop the price and try to get a bun fight going when he does

    Nobody to my knowledge has ever provided any evidence to say price is an issue other than to speculate that rumoured price is too high. Contrarily, RD has stated price is agreed and this was confirmed by JS for the Ozzies. Nobody does DD without knowing what purchase will cost.

    I was under the impression that the EFL representative said that there was no proof of funds submitted to them. I am certain this was in quotes from the Evening Standard.

    Say for example that RD and yourself agree a price of £50m for the club but when you do your DD you realise that the club is only worth half of the agreed price then what would you do?

    ...and the matter of the ex-directors loans of which to me is integral to the potential buyer having complete ownership of the cloob.

    I'd love for it to happen soon. However, there is no rationality to RD. He says he wants to sell, but I'd be worried about anyone prepared to pay his prices.

    It will come down to seeing what division we are in.

    Which has been the main confusion re. the Aussies "take-over" for me. Surely any price agreed before a buyer paid out for expensive and time consuming DD, would be contractual? Wouldn't it?

    DD could throw up any number of issues that would change the price offered, I'm pretty sure that's one of the main reasons of doing DD.

    Didn't help that Duchatelet sold Konsa after a price looked to have been agreed either.

    This is a mystery to me. Isn’t it unusual to “open” the books to allow DD to a party without them providing proof of funding ?

    James confirmed the price long after DD.

    I’m worried this just means @Airman Brown has lost his phone.
    We’ve been told it won’t happen until @DOUCHER announces it and we know he’s never been wrong...

    Evidently Aussies at the game, club sources saying things looking hopeful.

    It’s probably the original Aussies bringing some new Aussies to the game trying to convince them to stump up some cash because the original Aussies did not have the funds.

    No further clues yet then? Could be anyone. Did anyone notice any unusual new comers in the West stand?
