I now know that Jim has a very credible source and whatever has gone on in the past this takeover bid is serious. His source is NOT someone in the Aussie camp so whatever has come from them in the past can be discounted. The fact his source isn’t RD - as I originally assumed it might be - also puts to bed the idea he is being played by RD.
The gossip from within The Valley today is that it is NOT Gerard Murphy’s consortium involved, but that could still be a bluff.
Expect more news early in the week although whether it will be decisive I don’t know. I am hopeful but we are still dealing with a nutter.
When you saying we're still dealing with a nutter do you mean Roland / the potential new owner or someone else?
When you don’t know who the nutter everyone is talking about is. It’s probably you.
Oh Im without doubt a nutter... I support Charlton
I thought White said last week that his info came from the Aussie side?
It's entirely possible that Jim White's information came from an Aussie consortium, but not Gerard Murphy’s consortium.
It doesn’t come from the potential buyers.
Wait a minute! If we can confirm that Jim White's information *doesn't* come from the potential buyers, that's really big news.
Because it means that, if we can find out who the informant is, we will have identified - for the first time, EVER - someone who isn't involved in buying the club.
So stick that in your pipe, LdT. We'll have crossed one name off your potential buyers' list, ahead of the Fans' Forum. One down, several billion to go.

To be clear are you saying that you have spoken directly with Jim White to learn this or a different source?
I ask as this conflicts with James Seeds tweet that Gerard Murphy still involved.
Jim white said plenty today to anyone who spoke to him. Personally I don't think anything will happen until the season is over. Please prove me wrong.
What did he say?
He said that the money would be transferred on Monday and the takeover would happen Tuesday or Wednesday.
He also said that this information did not come from Roland but from the person brokering the deal.
Their lays the problem
Why is it a problem?
because the dude is an utter fuckwit (Roland that is) and unless he has said it is sold anything can happen, the bloke is unhinged, a menace to our club and needs consigning to our history. Kept us afloat my arse...history will view him as a total failure, and I would know as I am one of those that will write it.
Assuming we are taken over the real proof of the new owners I think of whether it's a meaningful step forward is where we stand with transfers ins and outs and what happens with Bowyer. The only obvious reason for completing a deal now and at no other time is to take advantage of the transfer window.
I am as much interested in the whole of January and not just the outcome of next week.
So let's be optimistic genuine positive intent exists.

I’ve spoken to JW. What GM is saying is that they haven’t withdrawn their interest. That’s not the same as saying his is the party JW is talking about.
I’ve now heard twice it’s not GM, from different places, but there is no clarity on that from JW and I can’t offer any more than I have.

Thanks. An interesting development given the general level of disdain for the LDT updates of multiple interested parties..
