    One of the bidders has walked away because we have a clear winner now. I suspect it will be announced "imminently"

    You would hope so but knowing our luck they are about to do the same.

    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.

    Roland has sold us to a consortium containing red bull, Carlos slim, bill gates and Apple.

    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.....

    Knowing our luck we will be sold late on the 22nd and the latest bunch of doomsday nutters will be right about the 23rd.

    But we would at least all die happy.
  • if it is the underbidder that has walked away then it is a done deal. If the bidder walking had offered more then watch the scramble from RD to acccept their terms to get them back and close the deal quickly. Hopefully the latter.

    Or Duchatelet continues to tell himself he's entitled to more than the club is worth plus add ons for future success and sales and waits for someone to appear who agrees with him.

    I hope you are right but this is Roland.

    Will we still be adding posts about an 'imminent' takeover this time next year?

    I'll repeat what I said recently. RD doesn't do failure, so he'll hang on in the hope we are promoted, to claim he was successful.

    surprised there has been so little reaction to Angeldusts revelation that one of the parties has walked. Have we become so numb to it all ?

    If this Thread was boxing, it would be stopped,
    because we has taken so many big hits.
    Not sure where angeldust ranks inthe ITK but the order must be:

    Two becomes One, becomes done deal.

    If just one left, then we are nearer to the finishing line. (As long as RD doesn't move it yet again)

    Of course he does. Look at us, we're a failure in every department.
