That’s true and I accept the distinction, but they weren’t rumours and the sources weren’t in the club.WhenIwasLittleBoy said:
Nothing is a “done deal” until documents are signed and money is in the bank so rumours from those in the club are hardly a “done deal”Airman Brown said:There was a "done deal" on February 8th, at least in the eyes of 1) the interested party (almost certainly the Aussies) and 2) someone close to the legal process. Soon after that I was told TWO parties had agreed a price by a completely different source.
I doubt there is a “race” to do the paperwork. I think the Aussies have done it and were ready to go, but RD wants to sell to the other party if he can. If they fall at the last he will go back to the Aussies.0 -

Strange they both have "Henry" in their usernames, anyone seen them in the same room together, could they be the two parties RM refers too? @Redhenry @Henry Irving but are really one and the same?0

So @Airman Brown , who are the other bidders? What could be the reason RD prefers them to the Aussies?Airman Brown said:There was a "done deal" on February 8th, at least in the eyes of 1) the interested party (almost certainly the Aussies) and 2) someone close to the legal process.

Perhaps....
RD’s cousin? A Belgian mate? - selling to them would make RD happy and would mean more of the same for us.
A few semi rich blokes fronted by Elliot who won’t have enough cash to run us for a year? RD happy as we’ll go under.
Or the mega rich lot @Redhenry has suggested? RD gets the price he wants0 -
Trying to find out if they have won. Nothing back yet. Here's hoping49

We joke about it, but if there are any payments in installments, there is a logic to Roland wanting the one with the deepest pockets. That doesn't mean they will be the best from our perspective - Roland's pockets were quite deep but unfortunately we discovered the man was an idiot in regards to football. But given that we don't know much about either, we would all I'm sure prefer the one with the deepest pockets too!1

Also reporting the Titanic has sunk.KINSELLA7 said:I've changed my mind!! Sky report that Rd has agreed a price with 2 separate parties. To be fair we still don't know if both have instructed lawyers to draft the SPA. I'm sick of the conjectures (and a lot of these posts) and will just be happy when the sale happens. By the way, I chose "7"....do you mind?

There is one "known person" who has not been mentioned much of late and I feel he still has a big part to play in all this.2

That will be one negative of reaching the Premier League but at least Roland will be finding the right buyer for us if your assumption is correct lolMartinCAFC said:
Maybe Roland prefers RedHenry's lot if they have deeper pockets to reach the Premier League where it could be Roland receives a payment in the same way of the former directors.MuttleyCAFC said:
Do we know why Roland might prefer one bidder over another if they are offering the same?Airman Brown said:
I don’t see how we can know.MuttleyCAFC said:
What do you think we would prefer Airman?Airman Brown said:There was a "done deal" on February 8th, at least in the eyes of 1) the interested party (almost certainly the Aussies) and 2) someone close to the legal process.

Would explain a possible preferred bidder theory with the Aussies to fall back on.
Just speculating in hope based on Airman and Athletico Charlton's comments.0 -
No idea. Perhaps he doesn’t. That’s why I used those things called question marks.JamesSeed said:

So, again, we wait.
I am now allowing myself to be cautiously optimistic.
I am not going to expect a mega-rich consortium to buy us, although that would be very nice indeed. Very nice.
If it is to be the Aussies, however, or another less-minted lot, it's still going to be much, much better for us than being in the possession of the Belgian space cadet currently steering the good ship Charlton into a black hole of mediocrity.
Hang on in there folks; I've got a feeling that after what seems like a endlessly repeating nightmare for our club, we are finally going to wake up with a smile on our faces again.5
