No. It could be that RD has agreed the price but is now waiting to see if he can get better terms out of another bidder, eg more up front.DOUCHER said:
Your clearly an intelligent man Airman but just out of interest, is the source that told you it was imminent back in October, the same one that said it was a done deal last week?Airman Brown said:
Two different sources.flyingkiwiDK said:
How can it be a “done deal” if there are at least two other parties in the mix?Airman Brown said:The fundraising in the City goes back a few weeks. It doesn’t necessarily tell you about the current situation. Personally, I’ve always been sceptical that there are two separate Aussie interested parties. It’s just as likely that one is a progression of the other.
The legal source is sticking with “done deal”, while I’ve also heard that two parties agreed a price.
There is also a possibility that he views one interested party as a better bet in terms of realising contingent elements of the payment, for example by reaching the PL quicker or at all. That would explain the “preferred bidder” line used internally.
Even RM said a week ago that one party was very close on price, and I think his information was already out of date when he gave it.4 -
Don't put your RedBull in the microwave....catfordmorry said:
I heard RedBull we’re taking over PotNoodle.JamesSeed said:
What takeover?catfordmorry said:
Followed your instructions but missed the bit about chucking it in the bin, had it for breakfast and I’m feeling a bit iffy as a result. Not blaming you of course, but it smelt so delicious I wolfed it down.SuedeAdidas said:
Boil Red Bull in kettle then pour over pot noodle. Leave to stand for 5 mins before stirring, chucking it in the bin and then reaching for the Just Eat app.catfordmorry said:
Ok, I’ve got all those ingredients in front of me for what sounds like will be a delicious meal, but how do I cook the pot noodle?BetterCallSaul said:
It tastes like bull urine and holds the secret to human flight. Best enjoyed with a Pot Noodle.Harry Gregory said:I am not sure what Red Bull is? I am sixty on Saturday and I know what fat coke, squash, good Cornish and Kent ale and last of all whatHorlicks is.
By the way, how’s the takeover going?4 -
What? We are being taken over by Potnoodle?
FFS! Getting even more confused now...0 -
Yes, as far as I am aware.Redhenry said:
@Redhenry can you confirm whether or not the Man City rich bidders are still on the scene please?

How will this work? Will it be under the same money but with different ownership? As I understand one owner cannot own two teams in the same Country.

It will work as in they are completely different people who roughly have the same wealth as the Man City ownership I'm imagining.8

He didn't say they were the same owners as Man City, someone asked if they were rich like Man City or Rich like Roland eg Billions or Millions.5 -

I hope this goes some way to clarifying the situation with regards to Red Bull. There are at least two potential buyers, still in the frame. But - for the sake of clarity - I want to make it absolutely clear that one of them is NOT Red Bull.
(It's the other one).5 -
I know but you would have to address that question to Keohane. I wondered at the time if it could mark the expiry of a period of exclusivity, because how else would a date be known that far in advance?randy andy said:

My guess is that it’s more expensive running the club an extra day than paying lawyers for overtimerandy andy said:
