Actually, they (Arsenal that is), were second fiddle at the time and were well aware of that being likely to continue for the foreseeable future.happyvalley said:1913, Arsenal move from Plumstead to Highbury. Obviously scared of the mighty Addicks.0 -

Yes.JamesSeed said:If I was to say it’s a crucial ten days for the Aussies would you lot crucify me if nothing happens?
Because you have been waffling o for about two years.
And your Aussies lot are seriously getting on my tits.
Get your own material !1 -
@JamesSeed As one of the very few people who has any kind of reliable source within the deal, any information you share that you believe to be true would be welcomed by a number of people. And if there are some posters who would prefer not to take notice of it, they should be welcome to ignore it.
If you think the Aussies have a crucial ten days ahead of them, I would like to know. And if you can expand on why, what it means and how you imagine it might conclude, that would be interesting information too.
In short, if you have any beans, it would be good to spill them as soon as possible.20 -
In reality it's too late for any takeover to make much difference to the 1st half of the season. If Bowyer had been given £10m a month ago then yes we would have been able to bring in "better" players but instead we'd planned his squad on "Roland's" budget.

I reckon the 2nd party has ten days to do a deal, before the Ozzies are back in the driving seat, waiting for Roland to blink first.0

1914, start of The Great War. Almost 1 million British & Empire soldiers were to lose their lives. Lest we forget.28

If the Aussies were out of the picture do you reckon Roly would be any more likely to concede any ground to another bid, on the basis that he would no longer have the Aussies hanging around as some kind of "failsafe"?

Can I answer this one 😉AmandaHoldensCat said:

Have the Aussies got the minerals to walk away?1

I think there are 3 or 4 groups hanging round and RD is trying to raise all the elements, in his favour, to the best on the table. Up front price, future payments etc etc. I find it shockingly unlikely that there are only 3 bids, 2 with close links to prolific posters on here......Six-a-bag-of-nuts said:If the Aussies were out of the picture do you reckon Roly would be any more likely to concede any ground to another bid, on the basis that he would no longer have the Aussies hanging around as some kind of "failsafe"?0 -
James, you posted a cryptic message at 8.12pm. A number of posters asked you if you are able to say anymore which I assume you have seen and ignored. It's now 11.07pm. No wonder some people get pissed off with you.JamesSeed said:If I was to say it’s a crucial ten days for the Aussies would you lot crucify me if nothing happens?9 - Sponsored links:

If you have something to share then please share.
If you just want to wind people up, then please refrain.6 -
But surely only some. I think we all know that the next two weeks are important across the board. James has shared what he has been allowed to divulge before, and I assume he has again this time.CheshireAddick said:

I think we have firmly established that that no one knows anything of real note, and even supposing they do, they will never be able to share it. We will get a hint or two, but Roland makes that as unreliable as unreliable gets.1 -
Maybe he’s already told us what he knows in his original message!CheshireAddick said:

Oi! Just who are you calling odd Addicks???SX_Addick said:
If ‘something’ happens in ten days time it’s gonna look a bit odd with SE7toSG3 and 50 odd Addicks celebrating on The Somme with champagne and Pot Noodles.JamesSeed said:If I was to say it’s a crucial ten days for the Aussies would you lot crucify me if nothing happens?
Mind you, if news does come through next weekend that we have new owners, I bag the veggie Pot Noodle. (Will need something to soak up all that champers!)3 -

Nine days to go until the new deadline.4

Ok, it’s not earth shattering of course...
It’s possible that one Aussie investor is fed up with the waiting game. Probably a key investor. May want to set deadline to force some sort of conclusion, or may have done already. Especially with the ‘European’ consortium showing interest.
And the same family issues apply this year as last year, for GM, although missing that window is not critical for the bid overall.
GM, after post Wembley conversations, has gone very quiet which I hope is a good sign, so this ‘info’ comes from my other source, who has been accurate in the past. Of course anything could have changed since I received it a couple of days ago.
i was feeling pretty negative about anything happening, and this possibly improves the likelihood of progress, a little bit. It may also potentially increase the chances of the bid collapsing.
Quite nervous about passing on even limited info for obvious reasons.

If the bid collapses, there may be a chance that Duchatelet finally sees reason ... which may bring Dalman back in the picture.JamesSeed said:Ok, it’s not earth shattering of course...
