    A takeover must be imminent now.

    RD was always so dependent on KM there's no way he'd hang around without KM any longer than he has to.

    I am going to honour my vow for two season tickets once this happens.

    I would have said it was more the other way round.

    Maybe she's messed up a sale and now Roland is taking charge to sell the club?
  • She needs some flowers to be sent.

    Suggests negotiations are pretty far advanced if RD is pretty certain that no buyer would have kept KM. Is it this Belgian tax year of next when RD wants to take the tax losses?

    Also I doubt RD would say that a change of ownership is likely if it wasn't as to do so would hardly reduce the losses - the Dark Ages are ending.

    As a 'director', I would have thought this news could have been hidden at the bottom of a takeover announcement.

    eg. As part of the takeover, Katrien Meire has also left her role at the club.

    Rather than have a whole news story to herself.
  • Is this really happening? I can feel some of the apathy turn into hope. Please don't let it be false.

    Not really, she resigned, leaves in the next few days, takeover may still take a few weeks or worse, collapse, people would be asking in a few weeks where she was, or someone within the club may have leaked it.
    It’s a case of, we are selling the club anyway, she has got out early knowing it was happening, they have saved themselves the trouble of batting away weeks of rumour and conjecture by publishing this statement.

    Dirty old Harry Ramp has only leaked this to milk his last few quid out the club. Half season tickets will shift for sure now.

    Am i weird for feeling emotional?

    Not one bit fella......you, like all of us, have been on board a roller coaster plane ride for four fecking years that was looking all but certain to crash but miraculously the pilots have somehow managed to get it back under control.
    Just the emergency landing to perform now and all should be well........let’s hope that will be quite soon.......the worst is over.

    Last I heard was a second bid went in. This was about 3-4 weeks ago. I haven't been told anything since. Sounds like it could be happening

    Is this from the people that you were excited about ?

    I don’t think so. A blind man with no arms wouldn’t employ KM to wipe his nose let alone be CEO of a multi-million pound business.

    I think you overestimate Miss Miere’s abilities and/or reputation - a lot!

    Someone on FB is saying they were told a week ago that sale HAD been completed, now I usually take such things with a pinch of salt, however, KM leaving on Sunday, RD and RM running the club I cant see that would last more than a week or so. Couple that with the end of the Belgium tax year, (please see below for the Corporate Belgium tax year which finishes on Sunday 31st), I think the club will announce as being sold by next Tuesday (Monday being a Bank Holiday), just my supposition. -:

    The assessment is based on the taxable income of a financial year. For the application of the rules on statutory limitations and of new laws, an assessment year is related to each taxable period. If the financial year corresponds with the calendar year, the assessment year is the following calendar year (e.g. financial year closing 31 December 2017 corresponds with assessment year 2018). If the financial year does not correspond with the calendar year, the assessment year, in principle, equals the calendar year during which the financial year ends (e.g. financial year closing 30 June 2017 corresponds with assessment year 2017).
