Oh god. They have a system all worked out. oh god oh god oh god.
RD had a "system" all worked out, remember?
That's exactly what I mean....not again...
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
That bit is worrying, but relates to finance and isn't their system as quoted earlier.
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
Good, he would be more crazy than I ever thought possible to keep any interest when he sells.

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.
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.
I an led to believe the price is now 30-33 mil so not sure where the extra 7 come from
the 7 mil is the charges which I don’t see why Roland should settle to be honest I don’t think anyone should
if we ever get back to prem those fine gentleman who saved our club from going into admin deserve every penny back
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.

Man City, eh?
I believe that their system was based on having shitloads of money and throwing it around the transfer market?

It was £33m, and RD was supposed to have given clean title, ie settled the directors’ loans. As you know he failed massively to do that, and then told the Aussies to do it. Hence the £7m increase. I’m not sure why they want clean title. Never asked. Agree the directors should otherwise get their money back once in Prem.

Personal opinion alert ... I think the Aussies want clean title because they want to fund the 'process' against the assets. They might have the £33m purchase price but they haven't got the resources to fund a sustained promotion push to the PL.

Seems very knowledgeable and all very encouraging.

Still find it weird that Aribo hasn't been confirmed
This is my personal opinion on it
i think something will happen before the season starts but certainly not convinced it will be Dalman

Millwall and Portsmouth?
