So it's off then.Airman Brown said:
My contact is very sceptical about the parties’ ability to conclude a deal and believes the next thing that will happen is that the American funding will stall.cafcfan1990 said:
Airman I don’t mean to be rude but that’s conflicting unless I’m being stupid? You have said the contact said the Americans are going to back off and then say the source says it’s about to be done?Airman Brown said:
This is what I posted earlier, if that helps. A few calls were made yesterday by other people and this is what came back. It’s a prediction and it comes from someone who has been involved, but it is not a definitive statement of fact or a claim that it has already happened.Airman Brown said:
American money, based on holding the assets. Australian control, based on owning the football club. However, the same source says the Americans will now back off.carly burn said:Australian consortium according to JW.
Doesn't that contradict what Airman said the other day?
This isn’t via JW, by the way.
I don’t know anything about Jim White’s meeting but there are two primary sources of the report it’s about to be done. One is the broker, who is talking to JW, and the other is Lieven De Turck.
Both the broker and De Turck, separately, have given the impression that it is imminent.3 -
P*** off Otto, we're talking takeover here.ricky_otto said:
I should imagine he is on some kind of pay as you play deal. Palace probably paid his contract up as a gesture of good will.paulie8290 said:

One thing is for sure, if he manages to stay fit and put a run of games together, then we need to get promoted to have any chance of keeping him - because he’s miles too good for League 1.1 -

Ranging from between 8 (Perth) and 11 (Sydney) hours at the moment.Covered End said:
I think you'll find Australia are something like 12 hrs in front of us and New York about 5 hrs behind.Rudders22 said:As if thwy would have a meeting in the eveni g FFS. Why couldn't they have it during business hours? It doesn't add up.
So if a deal is being made between Australia and US via Skype then we’ll all bedreaminghaving nightmares in London at that time.

Whatever happens you can claim to be right if you've covered all options
The two things that cause annoyance on this thread; certainty and a lack of certainty.The_President said:Its really starting to get on my tits, so many people supposedly ITK who clearly know fuck all.

So Airman - Given what you said in your last post, can you tell us how your source is so knowledgable, when the information that it's imminent comes from the fella handling the sale for Roland and the fella brokering the deal itself?Airman Brown said:

I'm assuming your source is close to whichever consortium is/isn't buying the club, can you elaborate?0 -
Essentially only two questions being asked at the moment. Is it still on? or is it off?iamdan said:What’s the latest guys? Been out all day.
