as a perennial dismisser of the Aussies financial abilities, could you kindly explain why and how you are so sure? Ta1 -
Yes, because Dalman and the Aussies have the fans’ forum at the top of their agenda and managing the room is a massive priority for Duchatelet, the masterful media strategist. Or perhaps not...golfaddick said:With all this takeover is immanent again bollox I wondered to myself when the next fans forum is.......?? tomorrow I hear you cry - now there's a surprise.

Is it though?? If that’s all he’s got to go on, that’s flaky at best. You can never have too much money. It’s certainly not an indicator that they haven’t got enough to proceedStu_of_Kunming said:

But how can you then tell that investor, just say for example, when Charlton get promoted to the Premier League, and the consortium sells for an enormous profit: "Sorry, but we didn't use any of your money, so you get none of the profits."?Taxi_Lad said:

They were also aggressively looking for investors after initially filing EFL paperwork, once again suggesting funds were not in place.Taxi_Lad said:

I have no idea of NLAs sources but I very much doubt he'd just make stuff up for a laugh.4 -
I asked about that a few weeks ago, and it's nothing to do with current financing, it's potentially for future financing opportunities, further down the line. I believe Sunderland have just accepted new investment, for example. How it works exactly, I have no idea. Not ‘aggressively’ seeking backing though.Taxi_Lad said:

Also, as has been mentioned, GM is the man behind the consortium, but he's not an investor as far as I'm aware. Never asked tbh, but always assumed not. He does all the negotiating.0 - Sponsored links:

Could be way off bream here but by “Murphys baby” I take that to mean that it’s his idea. His plan. His blueprint to make it work. That’s a long way from saying it’s his money although no doubt he would invest what he could afford.nth london addick said:

Also never quite understood why any investor after having read the prospectus in which it states “to elevate the club to the EPL” would not think that the aim was going to be costly and not achievable without a serious financial commitment. Anything less than a serious financial commitment would be like flushing your money down the pan. Certainly Muir is a serious businessman and won’t have been hoodwinked by anyone to think that achieving the goals can be done on the cheap regardless of how good your business plan is. I’m assuming that other money people are equally as astute.1 -
Fawaz Al-Hawasi... well in many respects I am glad he never came that close to buying us from Roland. With the Forest fans hating him and now this story about him taking their 1959 FA Cup trophy as his own personal possession:
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jun/25/nottingham-forest-demand-former-owner-return-replica-of-1959-fa-cup-fawaz-al-hasawi
So many bat-sh!t crazy people involved in football, I hope we get Dalman, someone who seems to understand the game and what is required to succeed.3 -

I'd like to say no, but then I guess we could have had the Oyston's. He stitched them right up.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:It is possible to get an even worse owner than RD.....1 -
Sadly much worsehoof_it_up_to_benty said:It is possible to get an even worse owner than RD.....
RD might have massively misguided views on how to run football clubs, but we've always been solvent and he's never plundered us in the way some owners like the Oystons have2 -
SISU as well. At least Roland for all his faults hasn't managed to leave us homeless.Dazzler21 said:

I wonder what sort of update there will be at the FF tomorrow.
a. this is seriously close now and will likely be concluded within a week or 2
b. usual, there are 3 interested buyers and we are still negotiating with them, proce agreed with 1, 2 in DD blah blah blah
c. depressing message about little progress.
or something else ?0 -
Fcuk all is going to happen.

Many moons ago i put out on here my source, was from within the RD camp itself and was proven right as its been 2 yrs gone and over 15 months since i first put out they have no money . My very good pal is a coach at one of RD's clubs and was present to conversations, I was also told by people here that the Aussie bid had not raised the required funds. The concrete you are searching for is that they still dont have the money to fund the losses the club makes. however they may have now found the money to purchase the club, this imo is due to the price being greatly reduced as RD is now fed up with it and wants shot14 -

I wonder if any other ‘interested parties’ have come in, looked at the books, and offered £15m or £20m over the last couple of years, which imo is what the club is really worth. I suggest there might have been quite a few. Roland has clearly been holding out for an unrealistic amount for some time. Hence his claims that ‘they don’t have the money’ overheard by one of his coaches. No one ‘had the money’ Roland, because they’re not stark staring bonkers.7 -

If he had then the deal would have been concluded straight away with the Australian consortium agreeing to everything Roly demanded including a carriage pulled by kangaroos.2
