It's all about RD not wanting too pay the operating loss anymore?.
Well, possibly, but surely that would mean he’s over a barrel? If he doesn’t want to pay the running costs, he’ll need to sell at a price that reflects that won’t he? You can’t expect full price for a product as if it was breaking even when the product is actually loss making. Similarly, if he reduces losses by stripping assets (playing staff) then that would also reduce the price wouldn’t it?
If this is why the Aussies have hung around for so long, then as frustrating as it is, I kind of respect it. If they’re digging their heels in until he sees sense, they’re showing real doggedness, which is probably a good thing.
i say all of this with absolutely zero inside knowledge and as an utter layman.
Remember when it was announced that each buying party had their own price? And that the price had been agreed with each party? I've always felt that this meant Aussies would buy the club and lease back the stadium and ground for something like £30M. Dalman apparently wants the whole club and thus would be paying closer to the £60-65M Roland wants, up front. In my opinion, this is why the Aussies are still in the running... Roland is willing to slice this any way that works. The price and terms have not changed because he was always over-charging and has not backed away from that in the slightest way, it's just that we are in a higher division. Roland is likely quite happy to have the Aussies because he gets to make a profit off hard assets and no longer has to worry about the club.
No-one is paying £60m-£65m up front. Or anywhere close to that. Roland may be utterly bonkers, but there is no way he would still be negotiating if anyone offered that. He'd reach past LdT and rip Dalman's arm off for that amount.
You can trust me on that. And I know the square root of fuck all about what's going on.
Angel Dust saying Aussies only to buy part of the club with RD keeping the stadium and training ground.
From a post over a year ago...He says "Agreement from 22nd Feb 2018, still stands".
RD recently said he wanted to honour the Aussie deal. Why is he so keen to deal with the Aussies..?
Got be more in it for RD somewhere down the line... #ClausesGalore.
I wonder if Murray is telling RD that the Aussies are the best deal out there and he is believing him?
(Allegedly Murray gets to keep his seat at the top table with the Aussies)
RD does not need Murray to tell him what the best deal is. For Roland, it's simply the one that makes him the most money. He cares nothing about what is best for the club.

I can verify that last part 😉
I mean, I know a lot more than some people. Like @Fumbluff. But it still amounts to next-to-nothing.

You could be right. But I don't think anyone IS offering £60-65M. Which is why we are on page 1842. I agree! No one is offering it. Which is why all these deals have multiple parts and may never happen.

Is there any word yet from Roland about the graffiti and protests in Hong Kong? Has he said which branch of CARD he thinks is responsible for this yet?

He’s barmier than I thought.
