    So very close myself, but with the price rise next week it’s out of my remit. So now I don’t have a decision to make. 
    That's a pity because a £210 S/T equates to £4 a week.
    I reckon your dogs must be expensive (if you don't mind me saying).
    Not so much the feeding, but driving here, there and everywhere costs a fortune. They were at The Valley 4 or five times this year alone. Volunteer work is expensive and something has to give when your a pensioner. 😉

    The Rat will be gone I am convinced of it things going on in background and I am certain by start of season he will be gone and new owners in 

    nothing has been confirmed as changed from what I said earlier this week 

    If dalman has gone then it’s annoying and I wanted him in but he wasn’t close to concluding the deal as some will have you believe 

    there are others better placed than me that have told you about someone new coming yo the table

    the Aussies are still in and even though I am wary it shows the interest 

    The end is nigh for RD I am honestly convinced of it 
    Dalman's been around since what, March? Surely someone new the table won't get a deal done in a matter of weeks? As for the Aussies it's hard to believe they'll ever get it done.
    That’s why everyone should chill out there’s a lot to do but people are trying to get it done there’s a long way to go yet so don’t get het up on days 
    I think the concern for many is the expectation that a deal will only ever be done in or just before a transfer window. That's only 5/6 more weeks otherwise it could mean waiting until December/January at the earliest.
    I am not to sad about our transfer dealings so far

    Assuming RD is introducing surprise outstanding debt or upping the price at the final hurdle, why does he think someone is gonna accept it, after essentially agreeing the full and final price at the start?

    All this just makes me think that anyone who completes, accepting his ridiculous demands, ain't gonna be any better than him tbh
    That’s a kind of twisted way of looking at it. Anyone who completes will be completing based on the price and terms that they are happy with. If the price or terms aren’t agreeable they won’t do the deal.
    You always seem to be knocking.

    Not knocking mate, just trying to understand, but any questions regarding the Aussies in the early days was always met with sarcastic replies. Since then there's  been other reasons why I'm personally more in favour of Dalman, but that ain't to say I personally wouldn't give any of em the benefit of doubt to begin with. It ain't a dig at you, GM, his oppos, or Australia the place

    Ok so it sounds like Dalman is out of the running, same old with the Aussies, clearly want us but are looking for the right deal. Is there an information on who the other bidders are? Like any guesses to who they might be

    Fair play. It’s just that saying they could be as bad as Roland is a massive insult, although I’m sure you didn’t mean it literally.  If I thought for a minute they’d be employing people like Meire and Driesen to run the club I’d be slagging them more than anybody. 
    I only wish they had Roland’s money. Literally had his money ;-)

    Bowyer will be working to the budget he has agreed. It may be too low but he knows how to do a deal. I want Duchatelet out, but he has to lower his demands and there has been no evidence of that other than somebody mentioning that a few pages ago he was willing to. In the meantime we have a great manager and my focus is on the business he does against the odds. If we are going to Belgium to protest, I'll be there though! I think under Bowyer, we can have a good season. Sadly when we do his stock will be even higher and we will lose him.

    Chinese has been mentioned in this thread fairly recently.

    Prague suggested a European group.

    The club only mentioned three parties in the fans forum update last week.

    Could Dalman be backed by the Chinese group? Or the club didn’t mention a new 4th group for whatever reason?

    Surely it is irrelevant who is interested in us until the price becomes realistic.
