Muir is now the only Australian investor, which suggests they are in no position to complete, but the party who walked away after being quoted more than £70m before Christmas are now back at the table.
What about the Americans who were said to be involved with the Aussies?

How much back at the table? Made a bid? Just enquiry? Viable option? Which table? Kids table?
Am I right in thinking that it was Usmanov who was quoted £70m previously?
I know about Usmanov, and I am 90% certain it wasn't him, since the timeline isn't right and my understanding is that he never took it beyond the initial read of a basic sale document.

The accuracy of the previous minutes can be challenged at a subsequent meeting. At least that is how these things used to work. Even without specifics it can be put on record that the fans think minutes of meetings produced by the club are incomplete and misleading.
Minutes of last meeting should be the first thing on the agenda following the welcome.
To avoid future disappointment I believe it would be advisable for this takeover thread to drop it's full-time role as it's getting a little tired, and instead take up a part-time position so it can also be an NHS call centre for two days of the week.
How's that sound, genius right?
The takeover thread is ever ready, ever vigilant, waiting to bring the latest news, rumours and speculation to its millions of followers.
Viva la takeover thread
I am of course joking. However, I am getting very tired of how long this has dragged on for, even if you have created the biggest thread in the whole universe.
We must keep faith as no one else will, so for you HI...

Can you not (using your special skills @Airman) introduce Muir to the new lot? That way they can form a consortium, the risk can be spread and we can all be happy.

After apologies for absence of course
Yep. I stand corrected
And that assumes that anyone not in attendance has sent their apologies out of courtesy which as we know doesn't always happen.

Group hug everyone ... anyone?
The problem is that owners tend to mad egotistical maniacs who don't like hugging. Oh for a consortium of local businessmen.
Why any sensible investor would want to but shares in RD's main Belgian company is quite beyond me, given his inability to quickly dispose of an investment that he does not want and does not like. If he took much needed psychologically help, I sure he would be told to let go and move on.

Just to be clear are you saying the consortium now only has 1 Australian in it I.e. Muir plus the Americans who are currently non commital at this time? In other words the original consortium is now down to Muir ?
Or are there other known other members still involved?

Muir the only Australian investor left.
Is he alone when it comes to commitment to financial investment in that particular consortium?

Shocking if true and when you consider Murphy was literally asking all and sundry to get financially involved with his project.
He even asked me!!
I guess people started to see through his little plan. I think he has his heart in the right place. His brain is not necessarily fully engaged though.

That’s my interpretation, but I’m not certain.
What is apparent is that Muir is still keen, but he’s not going to do it on his own. That’s never been his aim.

Don’t believe it is Usmanov.
Can you disclose the nationality of the consortium back at the table?

The Aussie consortium is a lot less complicated. It's just Muir but he's still around.
There is group of unknown origin who LDT said he hadn't fobbed off by saying the price was £70m+ before Christmas but who are back at the table. But who blinked first, them or LDT?
There may be a British group but still no one seems to know who they are or if they still real players or just a convenient tool to try and drive up the price.
Keith Harris has re-emerged as a broker for the Aussie deal and appears to have been the source for the Jim White "he's gone" stories as well as a great "guess who I had in the back of my cab?" Scoop for taxi-lad.
Duchatelet, who has been putting off any investment in player contracts or paying staff bonuses while cutting any other costs he can find, thinks he can leave the club in a mess but still get a slice of future success. He's said to be asking for future payments based on sell on fees for Lookman, Gomez et all and possibly payments on promotion to the championship and even, incredibly, the premier league.
Meanwhile, Bowyer had he legs pulled from under him when Grant was sold but not adequately replaced in the January window. The manager seems less positive of late and questioned whether even an out of contract player would be funded by the irrational Belgium rat.
