If you put a house on the market at an inflated price, you may or may not get offers, a key factor in this is the disparity between your price and the market value.
If you put a football club on the market at an inflated price, the one thing you can guarantee is that someone will post a house buying analogy on the internet.
Why would anyone pay £40M+ for a business worth only half of that? Why? Even if it was Paid in instalments & they stick 50% on top, £30M max. I don't think its even that close. The Aussies turning up just to put a bit of pressure on I reckon. We've already had one consortium in the Royal box that have run away, why not another.
If you put a house on the market at an inflated price some people will still come and take a look. But it would be pretty unusual for them to be still looking at it a year later.
Not if it's come down from £77M to £60M and now down to £40M

Even weirder if they turned up at your house wearing a scarf in the summer.

Unless you really want that house and you know no one else will offer close to that valuation so you hang around waiting for the seller to drop their price.
On another forum there is further conflicting news, one is saying Aussies are really pushing for the deal as it is good for them but may not hold out much longer, however the deal is not as good for RD. Also states a group whose interest went cold a few weeks ago have been back in contact this week.
Another is saying that the above is wrong.
God knows whats happening, but all the time this non-conclusion of the deal continues, CAFC are not in any position to build for next season, and will, I guess, ultimately be the losers come August. I fear the end game is still some way off, and whilst I thought everything was positive, over the last few days I've changed my opinion and think we may be stuck with RD for another season.....god help us!!
I said that when I met Addickted at Rochdale I didn’t think he had been correct about the papers being with the EFL, but that was only the position at that time. The denials (plural) from within the EFL are now dated and have not been repeated since.
Difficult to not be a nuisance with my EFL contact - he'd tell me if there were any updates on what I posted a couple of weeks ago, so I don't like to push it too much.
Last contact was on Monday ("Good to hear from you. You're about the only person whose contacting me NOT wanting Wembley tickets) and said he'd heard nothing more about the Article 3 documentation, though there were rumbles going round that another 'fit and proper' test has hit some snags over definitions.
I have a very good source who reckons that the sale is currently held up because Roly is too busy elsewhere to do the necessary paperwork. Apparently, he's been working hard to improve the team next season. He's already lined up a striker from last-year's successful Dog and Duck XI.
Angeldust saying the first part andbrxleyboy saying hes wrong... think angeldust is morelikely to know than bexleyboy going on previous
What’s Bexley saying
Bexley is just saying Angel is incorrect, others now saying Angel is right and Bexley is wrong.....all seems a load of old bull to me and my best guess is no-one really knows diddlysquat currently.

What if, when you're trying to sell your house there's loads of Belgians in there, a weird kid who sits in the corner playing Football Manager all day, an elderly woman scoffing vol-au-vents and a bald fat bloke handing out sandwiches to everyone?

Angel is correct, Roland must be one of the only sellers in history when creating a bidding war, succeeded in driving price down

Keep it going then, I reckon I have 13 quid saved up in the penny jar.
If we get a CEO or a CFO appointed by RD in the next few weeks then its all been bollox and the egotistical twat aint going anywhere and we are in deep shit
That’s always been the key indicator but tbh I think he’d let it drift on figuring he doesn’t need a manager until at least July and he doesn’t need a chief exec at all. He’s got a lackey popping backwards and forwards from Belgium to do the books. Have to remember he really doesn’t give a toss about the club and its future and never has.
Why try to buy a club if you’re scraping around trying to raise funds? It’s obvious they’ll potentially need tens of millions over the next few seasons just to keep the club going. Maybe I’m missing something here.
Unfortunately the EFL put no time frame on their owners and directors tests because they are so detailed and stringent. The document outlining the process and the factors which could result in disqualification is 16 A4 pages long, such is the attention to detail in the level of checks they do.
Detailed and stringent? Attention to detail in the level of checks?

Out of Angeldust & Bexley, Angeldust is a 100 x more likely to be correct.
For what it's worth I think this is the Gerard Murphy bloke.. appointed as Director for Echidna Acquisitions, which was incorporated on 30th April 2018. No other directors so not much use but maybe an indication of things actually being in motion on the assumption this is the company being used for the purchase.

Is it fair to assume RD will be losing more money over the close season than he did during the season, or was the £1m branded, spread over 12 months ? Either way, makes no sense that he is still holding on to this "runaway train" that he has proudly been in charge of ....?

I can only think that is Sunderland.
Don't know if that has changed subsequently @Airman Brown
When did this suddenly happen?
