So, the European deal is not moving forward. Discussions have been halted.
That is the only verifiable fact that I have.
As for my comment last week which seems to have wound up a certain accountant, that comment was
Had a further message, which I had better leave until Monday to get further verified, because it is meltdown material.
Well it has not been verified. The buyer and the intermediary have not spoken in detail since the meeting, and the intermediary is now on holiday with his wife who has recently been very ill, and they need the break. There is also a second British adviser involved who was the source of the comment that was very concerning last week but it now seems that neither he nor the intermediary were actually in the meeting between the buyer and RD's people. Until the intermediary speaks with the buyer at length, he's not able to tell me (assuming he wants to) what exactly was the reason for the breakdown. It also occurred to me that they might on reflection not be open about the reason in case they infringe an NDA.
But patently this is not happening before the transfer window. Apart from anything else there is no Heads of Agreement reached so they can't go to the EFL.
Massively pissed off all round.
Thanks @PragueAddick for the update, despite it being bad news, again!! I think there will be no takeover this side of Christmas, if at all this season. RD will be the owner and LB will have to perform miracles on a shoestring budget. Next fans forum needs to really make LVT squirm and tell the bloody truth!!
Just catching up on Meltdown Bollocks Monday. Couple of things.
1. The comments about not wanting a consortium because there would be too many people making decisions is wide of the mark. A consortium of owners would appoint a Board to agree strategy, governance and financial goals. The Board would appoint a CEO and executive team to run the organisation and deliver against these. Owners would no doubt be involved in agreeing/approving the Board's recommendations but day to day, month to month decisions would be delegated.
2. I appreciate JS's updates but I do understand people's scepticism about the Aussies. Take the latest snippet - they have lost an investor and need a new one to meet the demand to pay for historic debt. That implies that they have accepted RD's latest demands despite not having the level of investment needed to complete the purchase and fund the club before this latest demand was made. That is what makes RD believe that the price he is asking for will be met, if he waits for them long enough, and why he fails to engage seriously with more credible buyers who have clearly drawn a line on price that they will not cross.
enough is enough, fuck all this sitting back we need to give this cnut a reaction. Pussyfooting and doing nothing is allowing this asshole to do as he wishes. Our club is not a fucking toy for this mega rich prick.

Well we were promised a ff takeover specific meeting before the season starts if the takeover hadn’t taken place.
Copied from the minutes-: TR said that there will be another takeover update before the start of the
season if there has been no takeover • Provisional date for next full meeting: Wednesday, September 25th
So this fans forum on the takeover has to happen this week!!
What excuse will they make for not abiding by their own statements. They must have known last week the takeover was not happening, anyone had an invite yet to a Takeover fans forum meeting.............No!! well what a surprise!!

The only way I see us getting Roland to sell up is if we go back to Belgium with Standard Liege levels of protesting. It’s the only thing that gets to him.

I have no idea why so many people genuinely believe this, I really don’t

What does "Standard Liege levels of protesting" mean?

Because it’s all we’ve got mate. We either do something or just sit here and watch it burn

I think they mean an update posted on the website, rather than another meeting.

We need to force him out by hook or by crook

Sod all Saturday.
Go for it, get yourselves over to Belgium and protest.
There were only two people holding the liar banner and that was brilliant.
If you and @CAFCDAZ go others will follow.
Go for it.
