The “Brits” have been around for a long time. If they “still want to close the deal” why havn’t they been able to do so ?

Precisely.
If it isn't bad enough that the Aussies seem to be scrobbling around like amateurs for months on end trying to scrape together a deal, then the only serious rumoured competition appears to be hiding behind a cupboard frozen rigid with inertia.
For chrissake shit or get off the bog

It's almost as if there could be some blame attached to the seller

I can't stands no more. I'm joining team WIOTOS.

There is that

Thanks Henry... so basically JW has been fed BS and fallen for it and we are exactly at the same stage as last year. He is never ever ever going to sell.

Because they haven’t sold Newcastle yet 😀

Aussies / Yanks v Brits

Will there be a more formal set of notes produced by CAST, including the (solicited) questions and official answers?

So it's now an Aussie led consortium containing at least one yank.

So we appear to be no closer than we ever were?

RD has clearly fed JW some bullshit to try to force the brits into making a bid.

So part three

Lady Irving called me for supper you impatient lot.

So group one is the Aussie Americans (AA)

LDT was in the conference call mentioned by JW.

LDT said he is in regular contact so this is not exceptional.

LTD said that the "complexity has been reduced". When pushed on what this meant he said "fewer decision makers".

There is no split of ownership ie of ground v club with AA, they will all have shares.

AA have not submitted all the EFL paperwork. This includes financial and non financial paperwork.

There are no "due dates" IE deadlines to complete.

AA have "submitted proof of funds sometime ago"

LDT was asked more than once and stressed that the AA have the money and that money is not the issue. He wouldn't say what is the issue.

I stress here that I'm reporting what was said not necessarily agreeing with or endorsing it.

Not what LDT suggested but he set no timescale.

So if money isn’t the issue then what is I wonder?

Redmidland

Did anyone ask LDT if the club will be in different hands before the end of the current transfer window @Henry Irving ? If not did he give any clue as to when this debacle will be over?

barstool

The AA offer clearly hasn’t been accepted by RD

Stu_of_Kunming

Sorry to be impatient, but was anything asked about this 70m nonsense?

carly burn

One positive.

Roland appears to be getting somewhat impatient hence why he fed Jim White the plate of bullshit the other day.

Still a way to go I'd say, but encouraging.

Done deal when Chris Solly scores again (header)

Wait, we’re being bought by Alcoholics Anonymous? How did this skip past us all? Especially those of you that are members, you could have shared.....
