  • Where did the money for Jonny Williams come from if we’re not being taken over?

    Bowyer has a budget, but I would be surprised if we are paying very much if anything for Williams.
    We must be paying him something, did we not take over his contract from Palace, so he wont be playing for free will he
    F*** Williams, we're talking takeover.

    Australian consortium according to JW.

    Doesn't that contradict what Airman said the other day?

    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.

    This isn’t via JW, by the way.
    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.

    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.
    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?
    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.

    Both the broker and De Turck, separately, have given the impression that it is imminent.


    So it's off then.

    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.

    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.
    P*** off Otto, we're talking takeover here.

    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.

    I think you'll find Australia are something like 12 hrs in front of us and New York about 5 hrs behind.
    Ranging from between 8 (Perth) and 11 (Sydney) hours at the moment.

    So if a deal is being made between Australia and US via Skype then we’ll all be dreaming having nightmares in London at that time.

    FUCK all this.
    If it carries on much longer I'm back on the Brexit thread.

    How's it going over there by the way chaps.

    Brexit before Rexit is the new buzz word.

    Quite. It's called hedging your bets.
    Whatever happens you can claim to be right if you've covered all options :smile:

    Its really starting to get on my tits, so many people supposedly ITK who clearly know fuck all.

    The two things that cause annoyance on this thread; certainty and a lack of certainty.

    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?
    I'm assuming your source is close to whichever consortium is/isn't buying the club, can you elaborate?

    Essentially only two questions being asked at the moment. Is it still on? or is it off?
