Perhaps KHs name could be kept out of he FF? Just refer to him as a source. He could put it in a complaint about me to mytaxi albeit unlikely
But also don’t risk Roland going batshit about breaking the NDA and pulling the plug like with the Forest fella
Yes, understand both sensitivities.
Could just float the questions without mentioning a source and see how LDT responds. Assuming Harris IS regarded as an honest broker, if LDT continues to say price is agreed and the club are just waiting for the consortium to get their act together and submit paperwork, it gives some indication as to how much to believe what he says.
But Roland printed off CL for Jim White. I wonder if LDT will show this thread?

Obviously we shouldn’t jest due to the potential of any wrist slapping but secretly I’m loving the idea of him complaining and being summonsed in to taxiHQ to idly thumb through the 19,000 driver mug shots shaking his fist as he goes....
They would be mental to buy the club now with the window closed, we don't look good enough to go up and they would just be financing losses until May. I guess they would have a chance to come in and sign up the players out of contract.
That's the most important thing for me now, making sure we have a squad capable of competing next season, whichever division we are in.
Remember Bowyer inherited Robinson's squad last season and took us into the playoffs.
If the Aussies complete the deal now, they could help provide the stability the club needs to kick on next year whatever league we're in.
I am like Mulder in the X files - I want to believe. WIOTOS but great to read Taxi lads update.
Great if takeover can happen soon as the out of contract players situation can be sorted. Some players may be persuaded to stay if there is ambition again at the club.
This is the true RD the stubborn mean vindictive spiteful cold heartless bastd that made him a billionaire
NLA, well that's two of us who think he is getting perverse pleasure out of the situation. Other CL members don't. TBF they are intelligent fans(in some cases !) who go home and away. Why didn't he get rid otherwise when his muse left for 25 to 30 million which was apparently on the table with some small negotiations on monies owed to ex directors which must happen at other football club as well when they are being sold.
Duchatelet couldn't have got where he is today (net worth 500 million) if he didn't know when to buy and sell and cut your losses when need be and move on.
I smell a Rat.
Have either of you two met him? I don't believe he gets real pleasure out of anything. He just doesn't want to be seen to have failed.
Then why is restoring us to The Championship, where we were when he purchased, not a priority?
Should have elaborated. He doesn't want to be seen to have failed financially

Some great news that can be passed back to Rolly! Loads of us think he has been masterful in his financial dealings. He may have made losses in one or two areas, but has certainly been unique in his transfer dealings and cashed in at a right time that others before had not recognised.
One also has to consider the huge PR gains he has made. Before he took over our great club, nobody had ever heard of him, his companies, or Belgium.
Now he is a household name, radio personality and football guru. His political and social views have been studied and discussed, and his spurning of vulgar displays of wealth and privilege applauded. Tourism to Belgium has increased and bookings at some hotels has been at all time highs for months.
The cost of getting all this great stuff out there would have been huge, and, I would suggest, not as successful. Prague maybe able to put better numbers on it, but I would guess the advertising costs would be on the £100’s of millions.
All can see what a visionary he is by getting all this at such price. A hugely successful guy. Well done!
That James Seed huh? After we named a stand after his family and everything huh? despite the wonderful Katrien saying that we don't respect dear history of dear clob!

Let's see where we are in August.

Yes I’ve got two quote buttons too. What will they think of next!?

It's OK. Relax. I'm quite sure Tom (Rubbershoes) of Charlton doesn't read this site.
At least, not very often.
There's very little chance this will all get back to Roland.
Hmmmm some ploy to take Tourette’s off my mind maybe ffs
This is what I mean
I mean seriously 6 of the pictures came up there before I edited
“I want to go and talk to him over there”
“Well go and talk to him then”

Now fuck off.

God bless the London cabbie.
Let's hope there are some cameras aimed at the Directors box to aid identification.
