    Ive got a kangaroo bollock in my kitchen drawer, its a bottle opener.  I got it as a secret santa in Oz last year.

    The Left. The right kitchen drawer has the kangaroo penises in.

    Aussie (+ US backing) attempt to buy the club is over.

    Can't say which source supplied the info, but apparently RD was impossible to deal with, and they've had enough.
    This post got me over the 4k LOLs mark! 

    Can I just mention that they might be back in again? (Aiming at 5k)

    Bore off with your Aussie bollocks
    Nice guy, @mike 🤣

    PS Anyone have a spare ticket for Saturday?

    Muir and Murphy have long since moved on, and have the spent the previous 3 years trying to finalise their consortium's takeover of The Dog and Duck Over 45 team.
  • Muir is obviously sending some sort of message by attending!  Has to still be interested or why be there?!  Maybe because of all the issues with investors pulling out he is thinking of going solo. 🤞
    Would be very happy with this rather than a consortium all day long.

    Maybe, after seeing us a few times, he just likes going to the games when he’s in London. Stranger things have happened.

    If I had to guess, he’s wanting to show fans he’s still about and getting them to ramp up the pressure on his behalf by protesting.
  • I reckon he’s going to become a co owner with RD.

    I don't proclaim to be an expert, but you only ever seem to refer to this item in the in the singular @Curb_It.  I think you may have a pair there!   Pass the openers.

    Seems he was there to meet another interested party. Muir has previously been willing to join up with other potential buyers, so that makes sense.
    Airman, what is so great about our club, that a potential buyer spends near on a couple of years hanging around trying to buy it, when his bids are continually rejected, I can understand it if we had shareholders like the Arsenals of the football world, but it just seems so daft to me, why not move on and try another club, Henry seemed to hint last nite that something was about to break, have you wind of anything about it being good news for us and the club?.
  • All the fun for half the cost. 

    Plus for any new party, all the up front work has been done and the costs have been paid. 

    Got it a bottle of fizz yesterday so I’m ready.

    Can’t beat real ale.

    I don’t think it’s as simple as that. My understanding is that Muir wants to buy a stake in the club; he hasn’t wanted to buy all of it. So he has been part of a shifting coalition of others and the fault has not always been with RD.

    The problem is that whenever any entity gets close to buying the club they have been unable to reach a conclusion, whether because they don’t, when it comes to it, have all the money, the price changes or the club is unwilling or unable to satisfy the requirements of the buyer in terms of disclosure. All or any of these might be true at any one time.

    I’m not aware Andrew Muir’s position has ever changed, but of course I only have a fraction of the picture. I guess his tenacity is linked to his frustration, but who knows?

    Thanks for the reply, on a lighter note, if this carries on much longer, it's longeivity will be second only to Coronation St.
