    Chizz, Dalman was known to all here before Wembley, thus the horse on the far rails with the late run is someone else. Unless you can post some actual facts.
    Yes. That's what I posted.

    Here's a fact: @PragueAddick posted this The potential new buyer whom I am aware of who emerged after Wembley, has been told that a deal (with another party) is almost done, but if it isn't closed by Tuesday, this buyer will be given a short run at closing it. 

    Dalman is the other party referred to in parenthesis above ("... another party") with whom a deal is "almost done". 

    The potential new buyer, who apparently emerged after Wembley, has an opportunity to advance its deal, should the other deal (i.e. Dalman) not complete by the aforementioned Tuesday. 

    In order, the parties are 

    Dalman 
    The new party who emerged post Wembley 
    The Aussies

    So, is that Tuesday coming, or last Tuesday.
    the guy from Wales online said he thought Dalman walked away last weds the 26th

    I didn't  know about Dalman until the Walesonline article was reported here on 12 June - more than two weeks after Wembley. It was reported that the interest started some months before but it was certainly not widely known.
    If Prague is on the money then it's the Aussies by Tuesday, and if not then Dalman has a shot.
    No, it’s either Dalman or the Aussies by Tuesday after which the interest of which @Prague Addick is aware of will be given a run at it.

    You don’t know if the “another party” is Dalman or the Aussies but what we do know is that if whomever it is doesn’t do a deal by Tuesday then @PragueAddick mystery man will be given a run at it.
  • Where does a  'Deal that's almost done' rank alongside 'Done deal' ?
  • I just hope that "having a run at it" means something different to what the Aussies have been doing otherwise it will be 2021 before RD has enough of this mystery bidder & goes back to the Aussies.

    And can I just say that all those posting fish puns are so juvenile. Why don't you just run along & let us adults talk about the important stuff.
    Apparently not; I did and my post was deleted. That's the second time this week I've had an innocuous post censored. Would whoever was responsible care to explain?

  • I deal with many business deals for share purchases and mergers. It’s very rare that deadlines are ever met and in my experience they normally get set a few more times before they actually happen as so many people are involved and small bits of paper need advisers, signatures etc. That being said a couple of weeks after the deadline is about right so I expect probably a Monday as a Friday is given and normally fall away until a Monday when everyone works on the weekend on the deal. I would suggest Monday 15th July as more realistic

    Perhaps the deadline had already been set a few times before? 
  • 1830, King George IV dies. He is succeeded by his brother who becomes William IV.
  • I heard last week that South Africans were still interested fronted by Donald Muir, the person who told me was correct last time as it was before he was seen with Alex Mcleish down the Valley.

    Could the late runner be the Chinese interest rumoured I wonder? 
    or Red Bull.
    Red Bull you say, we haven’t had that one for about 1500 pages but maybe we should restart an RB Charlton rumour again. 
    I don’t like the idea of playing in red and blue though.
  • I wouldn't rule Red Bull out if Prague Addick's info is correct .

  • I do have some news that I've been permitted to mention. The potential new buyer whom I am aware of who emerged after Wembley, has been told that a deal (with another party) is almost done, but if it isn't closed by Tuesday, this buyer will be given a short run at closing it. I have not been told who the likely buying party is, and it may be that this buyer does not know either. 

    Let's hope that is true. I trust my source, whom I have known for a while. While I'm intrigued by the interested party I know of, being from this neck of the woods, I just want a sale done, fast, we are bleeding talent and it is breaking my heart.
    It's not Redbull, they're Austrian. I'm going to throw Daniel Křetínský into the rumour mill... Billionaire president of Sparta Prague

  • Czechia has a border with Austria.

    Prague to Vienna is a few hours drive.

    The new party who emerged post Wembley 
    The Aussies
    I think that might be the Aussies. 
    I'm hearing it might not be the Aussies. Dalman being given a window, to speed up the Aussies (or any other interested parties?)
    I bet it’s the round window
