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.
The original, cryptic, ‘teaser’ post is exactly what winds some people up. The ‘I know something you don’t’ style of post does you no good and invites abuse IMHO.

Lol. You’re forgetting that I repeated Aussies’ statement about ‘next two weeks are critical’ once, and got dog’s abuse, despite the words not being my own. My trepidation should hardly be a surprise.5 -

That’s roughly the way I see it, although the investment in lawyers’ fees would also make it harder to walk away imho.cfgs said:Whilst the Aussies appear to not have the money to push us forward without mortgaging the assets and seemingly have dithered and dragged their feet throughout, maybe just maybe it isn't their fault.

They probably thought after months of negotiations that things were nearly done and it was time to go public. But could it be that Roland has continually mucked them around and investors have dropped out due to the moving of the goalposts and the owner being a snide duplicitous plum, resetting the bid and leaving RM having to scramble to keep them interested. The fact that the bid still exists is remarkable and proves that Muir cares about the club, otherwise he would have given up a long time a go.
The above is just a whimsical notion that just occurred to me, probably completely wrong. Anyway I just want rid of Roly and I mainly only care that the new people get us and our club, that they care and want to push forward together, lots of money would be a happy bonus though.Stuff and nonsense. I've heard this before and it's akin to the gambler chasing his losses.
Paying corporate lawyers is an insurance policy against making a wrong decision. If as a result of that legal expenditure the answer is that it would be a wrong decision then any businessman worth his salt would walk away, accepting that the lawyer's fees had saved him money in the long run.

I for one hope that the Aussies don't walk away as at the moment they are the only hope we have got in my opinion.
Keep posting @JamesSeed, any info much appreciated.

If they are still in the game then it should be because they still see it as a good deal - not because they have spent money already.4 -

Why do people bother reading this thread, that is ALL speculation until its on the official site?
People pass on what they have been told by a reliable source, which is always subject to how close they really are to the information that there passing on.
No point digging people out for relaying the information we all crave. Don't care how they do it just keep putting it in on here. If you're allowed of course!!

I don't understand why people need/want to have a pop at others who post what they hear. What is the point? I'd rather read snippets of information of any news, good or bad, re the takeover than all the fish puns/house sale analogies etc. To everyone who posts, in good faith, what they hear re the potential takeover, please continue, I for one, appreciate it.36

I have actually given up worrying about a takeover. Not sure any interested parties will be chucking millions about to push us up to the premiership anytime soon. Better the devil you know, Roland has been wearing huge loses and seemingly continuing to do so whilst agreeing a contract with the likes of Bowyer, Williams etc. Almost refreshing to have a club not throwing away money that they don't have in the hope of an unlikely/difficult promotion. At least with the current financial setup we are managing to secure the right type of players who want to prove themselves and is more about playing at the highest standard possible, rather than for who will pay the highest wages. I am hopeful that we can avoid relegation, have some great fixtures for the new season to attend in front of some decent crowds. So in a nutshell I am very excited about the upcoming seasons and hopeful we can secure some quality loan signings to make us competitive and give us a decent chance of winning, rather than a tonking. So I am trying my hardest to ignore the negativity and keeping that huge smile me and the family had on our faces back at Wembley in May

Now that solves a mystery for me. Thank you, @happyvalleyhappyvalley said:1916, British army soldiers are no longer required to wear a moustache.
As a young child, bored while adults were talking during a visit to my great uncle, I ended up looking at great uncle's WW1 vintage St John's Ambulance pocket first aid handbook, and was intrigued that ALL the men in the illustrations had moustaches, while Dad's WW2 version at home had a mixture of moustaches and clean shaven!
I never knew that moustache-wearing had been compulsory, and had assumed it was purely a question of fashion.8 -
