    So price for the club agreed I’m assuming? 

    Debating Loans and whole payment/staggered payments I’m guessing.

    Feels like that shouldn’t be too much of an issue but at this point I don’t even know.
    13th June the Welsh journalist sent a message to someone from the forum that shall not be named.

    "Issues over taking over debt and something to do with training ground are complicating it.".

    I assume that RD wants some of the money owed to him left as debt. What could the issue around the training ground be?

    Perhaps he thinks he can hold on to the training ground?


    I raised this issue months ago as a concern however I am now convinced RD wants nothing to do with us once he sells and is not looking to be involved at all 
    I'm having a Harry met Sally moment.....


    YES ! YES ! YES !

    You seemed to imply in an earlier post that you were concerned that the Aussies might pip Dalman. How could thay happen if they haven't got the money?


    I said  I don’t believe they have got the money to sustain the losses and that the price has reduced enough to get over the purchase issue 

    @scoham no I believe the asking price is a sold as seen price it will be the end of it and he is gone

    Roland had a shit system therefore systems are shit? Man City have got a system, so that's one all.

    Man City's owners weren't touting online for random investers, over 2 years after making their initial bid though. Which imo kind of makes their system for anything else in their plans a bit flimsy

    I posted a few weeks ago that the price was £33m but went up by £7m when we won promotion, despite a promise not to raise it on promotion. I’m not sure if what price Dalman has agreed to.

    That bit is worrying, but relates to finance and isn't their system as quoted earlier.

    Good, he would be more crazy than I ever thought possible to keep any interest when he sells.

    A chap who seems very well connected is saying one issue resolved and now working upon other issue.

    Seems very knowledgeable and all very encouraging.

    I read that too and it’s encouraging. What it does imply though is that the dates of completion being bandied about are false. I guess we wait.

    I don’t disagree at all, it’s not a good look when I imagine you’d be looking to inspire confidence in yourselves as owners. 

    I did ask about this though, and the site is specifically looking for future investment. Sunderland, for example, have just received new financial investment from an individual who I imagine will become a shareholder/director. 
    All clubs have investors who sit on the board as directors don’t they? I imagine most clubs are open to new investment.

    I suppose though that the ideal owner is an individual with deep pockets prepared to invest his own money to keep the club competitive in the long term.

  • Interesting reading this back from the April Takeover fans forum...

    Fifth party (International)

    LDT said that as mentioned previously Roland Duchatelet (RD) has met the the fifth party. Since the last meeting he has received an offer and agreed a price. The party have begun due diligence and are coming to the final stages of that process. The next steps after that are with the lawyers and sorting the contract. He said it is clear the party have the money and a previous experience in English football.

    LDT said he has had conversations with other parties but no NDAs have been signed. 

    He said in his opinion RD will not own the club next season. He said that all three parties want to complete the deal before the end of June so they can prepare for next season.
