    Buying a football club is a lot like making love to a beautiful woman. You upload one little sex tape to YouTube and all hell breaks loose.

    Buying a football club is a lot like making love to a beautiful woman. If all you ever do is watch them perform on a live internet feed, you can't expect them to be satisfied.

    Nope I'm afraid I will not be passing comment - last thing you want on here is for me to tell it how it is so not a lot of point

    You are 12 aren't you?

    In response to cardinal above - in plain english - nothing is happening but when it does I will let the board know - let's see how many tedious 12 year olds jump out now

    I would hope that the Board would already know mate! I know Katy is a little dozy, but surely she'd realise...or are you really Duchatelet after all??? :smile:

    Can you categorically say a 12 would get that?

    are you really sticking to that despite all the evidence to the contrary?

    Nothing is happening except a few days ago I said it had been happening but that negotiations had stalled because that's what others have stated. But I'm definitely not changing my story all the time.

    @DOUCHER if your source is who you say/people think he is, why doesn't he or anybody else at the club come out and categorically say that the club is not for sale? Seems weird if he's so sure nothing is happening

    Hopes of Roland selling up have been raised too many times in the last year, so I see no reason to get upset at one particular poster who is dampening down expectations. It's not as if he has any influence on the outcome. Logic tells me that Roland would not have gone public if a sale was nearing its conclusion. If I've read it wrong the single malt will take a caning.

    Doucher is simply trotting out a version of Murray’s lines, which I’ve also had from two people better placed than he is likely to be in the last week.

    And yet there has been due diligence and there are interested parties, so the “nothing is happening” mantra from Doucher just won’t do.

    There may not be a deal yet or in the near future, but that is not the same thing at all.

    I would speculate, as I have before, that the issue is that for RD to get what he wants the club has to be promoted to the PL and he isn’t confident the buyer can deliver that.

    Essentially, he wants more than the club is worth, but his problem is that the financial hole he has created is only going to get deeper and it is less likely to be filled the more he hangs on. Promotion, even if achieved, doesn’t resolve that problem.

    Is Murray actively telling people that nothing is happening then?
