Proud to say I have read every post on this thread. Who is with me?
Nah I just skim read till I see an Airman or RedHenry post
Your Lack of Dedication disturbs me ;-)
I spend enough time on this forum as it is... If I were to read every post I'd end up with my wife wondering where I've gone, I'd have a headache and the only word I'll be able to utter is "pot noodle"
Wherever it is that the Aussies are walking away from must have a tricky revolving door, because this must be about the fifth time they've 'walked away'.
I'm really not concerned about one of the parties walking away.
If there are/were 2 or 3 parties, sooner or later 1 or 2 of those are going to have to miss out (walk way, be outbid, call it what you want) in order to get to the party that has won. By definition, we NEED the ones who aren't going to succeed to be out to bring the whole saga to a conclusion.
Of course, the nightmare scenario is that they all walk away - but that is a nightmare for Duchatelet too so I doubt he would allow that to happen. At least not irretrievably.
I have been told this evening that one of the interested parties have walked away from any further negotiations. I don't believe it is the Australian party but need to follow up.

Silence , in this case no news is bad news ... We’ll be left with Roland forever
Or maybe it is good news.
Not that I don't want brother @Redhenry's lot (don't know enough about them) over the Aussies (don't know enough about them either).
But my theory is that Duchatelet has a bird in hand (the Aussie bid that has been on the table for a long time, perhaps as far back as October 2017).
But that has allowed him to look for two birds in the bush (The Scottish/South African McLeish group, Redhenry's Saudis, the mythical British group, maybe others).
If there is just one live bidder then that might focus Roland's mind and make him realise that he ain't gonna get more from elsewhere and he'd be better off taking the money on offer now and going.
WIOTOS
I have a hunch the British and Saudis are one and the same.
Just caught up with the last couple of pages on this thread.

Yep and me.............. And, I've printed all the comments individually, framed them and will take them outside the museum for future generations to see.

It is not the Aussies who are walking away.
I've thought all along that it will be the Aussies and I admire the fact that despite what has gone on with the process they are still there. I'm convinced they will prevail at some point.

Read it!! Its my life!! If it ever closes I will have to go to rehab.
This thread will be printed out and carried to the ground in a coffin ahead of a vast procession of mourners. There will be a delay setting off while we wait to hear whether RedHenry's lot will be joining us or not.

Aussies never walk (other than Adam Gilchrist)
He's a great lad (played for Richmond CC) but only walked when it suited him.....

It was always going to come down to this, so good.
