Never believed the Dalman bid would go anywhere, especially after his comments last week saying he was looking forward to the coming season with Warnock etc.
To my mind there has only been 1 serious bid .....and they dont currently have the money to fund us properly.
My goldfish Gilbert who is in the know said it’s hap...... and then swam towards the wishing well then around the deep sea diver. Just remember you heard it here first.

OK I'm back to hearing stuff I can't pass on now, so time to give you all a break :-)
I'm sorry, but is there really any need for that sort of comment? What does it actually achieve? Just smacks of "I know something that you don't"! Not a dig at you, just feedback. Maybe empathy isn't one of your stronger suits James?
Can see what you mean. Not trying to tease.
But GM is saying bits I can’t repeat (nothing mega though) and the info from the other source (although legit) I can’t repeat or the info will dry up and he’ll get fingered.Still about price at the end of the day, it seems.
If that changes I’ll post, but no point at the moment.
PWR btw, so if Dalman bought the club in the last few hours I’ll look even more dumb than usual.
The sad thing is I have long since believed this will happen and that the Aussies are imo fav to get this done first real tragedy but it is what it is
I had hoped that Reams info was new and had some favour due to his links to Cardiff
Let’s hope this is not the case and Dalman is in but I get the feeling that the Aussies have been aided into position by the aide of some one in the club
Tragedy? Do me a favour. Everyone says they want players who really want to play for the club not those after the money. Well here you have a group who are so keen to own us they have put up with that prick RD for 2 years when loads of other clubs are available. The least we could do, if they do buy us, is give them a chance.
If you have the choice of Dalman or Aussies it is a tragedy if you don’t get Dalman
I don’t believe I have said that They won’t be given a chance
but we as a club are hemorrhaging money we have little assets and the only people that seemingly want to get it done haven’t been able to get their shit together in two yrs
they haven’t found a money tree and they are still actively seeking investment
too me thats a tragedy but if you think it’s all jolly hockey sticks then bravo
Said i would give them a chance, not that it is jolly hockey sticks.
you say you will give them a chance but before they have even bought you are calling it a tragedy.
From what i have read Dalman doesn't have enough of his own cash so will have investors behind him whom we don't yet know.

I'd love to own us and have great intentions to achieve success. I've been hanging around the club for 30 plus years. Doesn't mean I have the funds to keep us going even if I could find the dough to do the initial purchase.
I think that's the concern rather than necessarily the intentions of the consortium.
The Aussies sound like they're in bed with relatively unknown to them investors whom they've likely sold a vision to or (god forbid) a return on (a return that is slim compared to far less accessible and convenient investments outside of the nutty world of football).
The Aussies are an unknown quantity to us but my concern is that whilst they may be The Good Guys their investors are relatively unknown quantities even to them.
Risks a Kevin Cash scenario if those added investors feel they were missold or misunderstood what they are buying into (and how unlikely a financial return is whilst having a diluted profile in the day to day running and ego trip of being seen to own a club and all its trappings) or just get bored and walk away in a manner that we wouldn't and couldn't.
I don't disagree with much of what you say but as i say above, i don't think dalman is rich enough to go it alone so will have investors and we don't yet know who so not sure if there is much of a difference.
Muir is a successful businessman, i give him the benefit of the doubt at least that he would not hang around something for 2 years, spending a load on Due Diligence and being part of a group spending £30m on the club only to rock up on the second day and realise they did not have funds to cover at least a year or two’s losses.
if i had an uneducated guess i would rather Dalman given his UK football experience and positive Cardiff vibe but frankly I will take either over RD giving Bowyer no signings of the 5 he thought he would have done this week so far.
If you were an investor, you would be more tempted / confident to invest with Dalman, who has had success with Cardiff.
Dalman hung around for ten minutes then fucked off and is a great guy. The Aussies have hung around for two years and are bad bad people. Just checking I've got this right.
Sorry to go slightly off subject but a quick question.... why do we call the prick Rowland?. The very best he deserves is Douchatelet. I call my friends by their first name and enemies by their last name. There got it of my chest
I believe you are the first to call him Rowland
Well spotted!. I find it easier to spell his surname 😉

Personally I couldn't care who owns us, as long as they're a decent human being(s) and treat our players, staff and fans with the respect they deserve that will do. I don't care if they aren't bank rolled and we don't make it the top flight, more to it than that sometimes.

No, as we don’t know that Dalman is out. It’s based on one comment on here.

We don't know. Nobody who is prepared to tell us anything knows. Presumably Dalman knows, but tbh if you were thinking of doing a financial deal that involved negotiation would you just blurt it out to the first person who asked? Or if you had recently walked away from a deal would you want to spend time chatting about it to minor journalists?

Surely it's just people having their preferred choice.
Has anyone said Dalman is a great guy? Has anyone said the Aussies are bad bad people?
It's all just a difference of opinion that people are discussing, using the evidence at hand. Some people think it a bit weird that the the Aussies are publicly touting for investers (for now or as they tick along in the future) for a football club that is reportedly losing £800k odd per month, and some people think it's no different to HSBC, a $26.5billion profit making bank, taking on new investers as they go. Some people think Dalman is a better choice because hes done it with Cardiff and would bring a wealth of experience.
We know the Aussies are publicly touting for investers (for now or as they tick along in the future) and we know Dalman has done it with Cardiff and would bring a wealth of experience.

So I'll go and catch a train to anywhere and see what I can find out.

Has Dalman definitely walked then?
