    my guess, and it is a guess, and as i've always stated, is that once the division we r going to be playing in next year, is known, is when the deal will be done - i'm rarely wrong - irritating maybe but its logical
  • Think nla has this bang to rights. Duchâtelet is asking a ridiculous amount and none of the interested parties are anywhere close. I’m guessing the summer.

    Next week has meant to be interesting since October mate

    I can’t wait for it to be over people will lose takeover fever

    I have been close to one that Was finally completed sat it’s started In November 2016 and finished in January 18 and was not the original interested party

    These things are challenging and changing and the one thing I learned is that there’s so much bullshit involved

    So many leaks and#fakenews at every turn

    It's what forums were invented for, don't knock it ;-)

    If that’s true, though, there presumably wouldn’t be any due diligence, because according to Murray (and common sense) it’s not going to happen if the parties are that far apart. They need to be within range to start with. And even the club now says there has been multiple due diligence.

    What a load of absolute shite... the whole thing... the club has cancer and it's not going to just leave... he will be here for years to come in one way or another... the club is a great tax write off for him, he doesn't need to sell... he hates us so he will sit back and let the time roll on...

    We won't be a proper progressive club again for years.

    The tax write off theory is a possibility.

    Heard four are still involved. Bids range from 21 to 25, nobody is near the asking price 55m. All waiting on RD.

    What I’ve heard is completely different, but we’ll see!
    My contact 's tell me Roland is a complete cnut.
    That's all I can tell you at the moment
    To be fair you don't have to be ITK to know that that.
    But this makes it official.

    How can there be a preferred bidder if the have not been any bids?

    I think people have interpreted this incorrectly.

    My understanding is that a German horse is involved with the consortium and is actually the pferde bidder.

    Roland's logic is different to normal logic. It could also be agreed that he'll receive an additional payment should we win promotion.

    Sorry, wrong spelling pferd is just German for horse. I shouldn't have put an e on the end; that's the plural version. Apologies for the rubbish joke.

    So 360 pages and the latest bidder is a German horse.

    That would silence the neigh-sayers.

    There will now follow two pages of horse puns, followed by an angry '50 new posts and its all fucking horse jokes'

    If Germans take over, at least we will win on penalties at Wembley.
