For Mehmet Dalman to put out that Statement yesterday then turn up as the owner of Cafc, days, weeks or months later would be similar to Dowie telling Palace fans and Simon Jordan that I'm only leaving to go back up North to be with my family.
Before the weird press conference where Murray was handed a writ and Dowie face turned ugly.1 -
James, can I have today for takeover day?
A robin has just landed right next to me. It is a sign I tell you. We’ve only gone and cracked it. Put the bloody kettle on.2 -
Love a house sale analogy and, as house sale anologies go, that's a blaaady good one!Weegie Addick said:

God, this thread. It twists the knife eh.

How will this club ever be sold with RD in charge? Seems impossible.4

Keep in mind that he sold Standard, although I'm not sure how much of a loss he took.Valley11 said:How will this club ever be sold with RD in charge? Seems impossible.
Be interesting to find out though1 -

If I had a pound for every house sale analogy on this thread I could afford one!i_b_b_o_r_g said:

I genuinely think we will have to wait for him to die or retire through ill health.
how old is he now - mid 70s?0 -
Dream Scenario.
Bowyer and coaching staff agree new improved contract with Duchatelet Today
Dalman's bid is accepted after agreeing to paying RD some extra Dosh when/if we reach the Premier.(covered by TV money so Mehmet bites the bullet)
Dalman brings Warnock to be Director of Football to work with Bowyer, Gallen and JJ and uses his 50 years in football to network his contacts.
The best possible Scenario.1 -
As has been pointed out, he only said "Right at this moment in time I'm really focused on preparing for the new season with Cardiff" It happens in football all the time regarding players, kiss the badge one day, sitting in the stands of their new club the following day.soapboxsam said:For Mehmet Dalman to put out that Statement yesterday then turn up as the owner of Cafc, days, weeks or months later would be similar to Dowie telling Palace fans and Simon Jordan that I'm only leaving to go back up North to be with my family.

That doesn't necessarily mean imo that an announcement can't now be made that a deal has been done and he'll take over in a couple of weeks

Why would agreeing to pay Duchatelet extra dosh in the future be a dream scenario? The bloke's a greedy leech. I want this deal to be cut n dried based on a market price and no more.soapboxsam said:Dream Scenario.

Sounds good except Warnock. Can’t understand why there’s a desire to have him involved when you see what Gallen, Bowyer and Jacko have and will achieve. We’ve got the perfect football management set up, just need the perfect owner.soapboxsam said:Dream Scenario.

Well, I reckon it could be more imminent now, than what it has ever been before, going by the information out thereCardinal Sin said:

Think there will be a lot of people online today hoping for good news. How many times have we gone throught it now only for nothing to happen.
Surely we are due a change of fortune. I am having a wisdom tooth out this afternoon and i'm already bricking it at least this will somewhat take my mind of it.2 -

Complete conjectureScoham said:From the forum that shall not be named - the Welsh journalist said Dalman and Warnock are very close and he’d bring him with him if he takes over.

All we want is that he asks a price that there is a realistic chance somebody will pay. The problem is, he constructs this fantasy world where the club is worth what he is asking for and he then believes it.
Of course a sane person will know he will end up losing more money in the long run. And make our lives a misery to boot. Also a sane owner will know that selling the club will make his life less complicated. But surely we have all worked out by now that he isn't a sane person.
What Bowyer has achieved on the pitch has given him some respite but there have also been warnings for him even in this period of good, attractive and successful football.0 -

That would honestly be a great set up.
Also you know if Bowyer gets in any verbal sparring you know Warnock will have his back!0 -
As I said above more to be with his experience around the politics of football and contacts rather than teaching Lee anything about football tactics. But love him or hate him Warnock is a course and distance winner in the Championship and would be a great foil not only for Lee but Steve Gallen would be a great partnership trying to find players for Cafc.Swisdom said:Maybe Warnock would be a director of football
decent mentor for bowyer
Duchatelet is always the stumbling block for this to happen.0 -
I would be very reluctant to appoint a director of football to Bowyer. He and his team seem to have that area covered. It can work, but I don't think it is something Bowyer needs.18
