This takeover has been happening "within the next week" since November. Think someones source is not that reliable, as well as until it is officially announced i can't see how people can forecast when this will be concluded.
Yes, and compare that with the official line until December 28th that nothing was happening and the club was not for sale. Which was more accurate? Yet people still want to rely on the official version of events, which has been a joke since 2013 when Slater denied the club was for sale while documents trying to sell it were being hawked around the City.
Were “lawyers working to sell the club” as reported or does anyone seriously think now that wasn’t true?
The point is that what you’re saying also isn’t true. You’re slating the club for being a joke for saying ‘nothing was happening’ which was not true, but you’ve said a deal was to be announced within the next week back in October then you said done deal, which, again turned out to be nonsense.
So am I right in thinking, by the same standards of you saying the clubs a joke, that you are also a joke?
Go and read the story I published in October. Happy to be called out on what I actually wrote but not invented versions of it.
2nd paragraph, ‘a deal could be announced by the end of the week’. You wrote that, you were wrong. As I said a while back, Doucher gets criticised when he was wrong, therefore I think you should to.
Airman Brown October 2017 I've got four sources on the story. There are no guarantees until they are gone but this is real.
Even 88 people liked it.
Indeed. On the story for which I posted the link above, which has one factual inaccuracy in it concerning the directors’ loans, which I’ve since been told can be rolled over without their consent if there are no leases or other disposals involved.
With hindsight I should have given less weight to the source which said it could “even” happen within the next week, but the four sources were all about the deal in general, only one was about timing, which the story states. The club said “nothing was happening”.
And as for the tweet "Done Deal? " Should that have been given less weight ?
The whole story has come out over many months because I’ve trusted my sources. If we’d only listened to the club people would have believed there was no hope of getting rid of Duchatelet right up until December 28th. I haven’t got everything right or had the full picture at any point and nobody never would, but the story has come out via these sources (and others) and one of them here is better placed than anyone talking, including Richard Murray, to know. So we’ll see.
But you cannot disclose any information during DD or whilst the takeover is taking place,
Really? Even if no non disclosure agreement hasn't been formulated?
We have actually got people lying about what someone wrote, in order to "prove" that they were lying. It's all gone a bit Jacob Rees-Mogg for my liking.

I think all Rick, Redhenry etc have been ‘guilty’ of is trying to give supporters hope ( and themselves, no doubt) that the current administration at CAFC is actually, finally, on its way. That day cannot come soon enough, but it is clearly a complex process, especially with the current owner anywhere near the negotiations. There’s been a few false dawns, but not intentionally, in my view. The real problem/ target of ire should remain the elusive current owner, not those trying in vain to find out what the eff is happening.
A deal could be done by Wednesday lunchtime if I win Euromillions. However don't take that as gospel or bet on it, that's what I'm doing. I will post an update if it becomes a certainty.
Don’t forget you need to go through the due diligence process.
I have decided not to bother. I will offer 45 mil to be free and c!ear, and then give 51% of the ownership of the Valley to the supporter's trust.

What are you on about? It's all be thoroughly entertaining, and it's helping me compile a couple of lists.
I'm grateful for any inside info , and it's not as if any of us is rushing down the bookies to place a bet on 'this week' or 'next week' is it. Enjoy the ride @WhenIwasLittleBoy , unless you're unhappy about the destination?

He bought the 12-pack, took it home, No patience, straight away... Chicken and mushroom, added foam, With sweetcorn, too, hooray... Yet its taste required something, The tongue to dazzle more... With an oxo's beefy stuffing, It thrilled him to the core!
He salivated there, of course, For what else could he do? The noodles topped with soya sauce, Were spicy through and through! He swirled and swirled the mixture round, Aromas everywhere... One slurp and he was Heaven-bound! A feast beyond compare!
He leaned against the worktop's side, Stood up and yet laid back, With sniffing sounds he couldn't hide, Then he took off his mac... He shovelled noodles past his lips, They slithered down his throat... While spilling drips on fingertips, Whatever floats your boat...
His guilty pleasure thus went on, His belly boiling hot, Till finally, all noodles gone, He raised and drained the pot... He licked the giant spoon as well, Then thanked the Lord above... You see, pot noodles cast a spell! One pot and you're in love!

Maybe that wouldn't have been such a bad thing? Peoples appetite for protesting and generally getting on Roland's nerves have cooled somewhat because you have said many times he was on the brink. I know you want people to think their actions are getting somewhere but think you've over done it quite a bit on the timescale for such an outcome. Tbh I don't think anyone really cares what the club's slant is on proceedings. They've been lying to our faces since they turned up. I really don't get your infatuation with pushing the line that they were not telling the truth. We are now in a very strange position as a body of supporters. Unity appears to have gone out of the window.
Questioning AB isn't simply a case of 'personal narratives/ grievances'. Many moons ago, I questioned him on one of his posts and was called a 'petulant child' even though AB finally admitted that what he had posted amounted to nothing more than 'gossip'. AB has - I'd imagine - more contacts in the club than most on here, and reports their rumours for our benefit. But until the deal is 'done' they remain nothing more than rumours and people are entitled to question them. AB has something of a sacred cow status on here, and questioning him or calling him out on his rumours doesn't amount to 'Airman bashing'. I take any 'ITK' posts with a very large pinch of salt, and wait for the club to officially announce our new owners.

A done deal’s not far you see

Que sera, sera!!
Just sell the club and FUCK OFF
No patience, straight away...
