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.

How many milestones have we hung hope round? This or that close season, this or that transfer window, being prepared for times when planning and strategy is needed, waiting to know which division we're in, this or that snippet of leaked information, this or that arrival or departure of playing or non playing staff. And still Duchatelet is the owner. And still I wait to buy my beloved season tickets. When Pandoras box was opened all the bad stuff was released into the world, but shining at the bottom of the box was hope. Duchatelet has crushed hope because eventually time trumps hope, and we are left with nothing but the bad stuff.
It's a good post Seth. But surely all that 'hope' has only been compounded by threads like this? All of the proclamations of 'imminence' and 'done deals' have only served to get people's hopes up and provide many false dawns.
That's not a criticism of the information flow either by the way. Just a recognition of fact and how nothing is actually certain and that we don't really know what's going on in reality.
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?
Sounds like my house before I moved out, minus the Belgians.
Just realised companies House has the pdf of the incorporation statement... Echidna is owned by Australian Football Consotrium (they're incorporated in Aus, which is obviously why I couldn't find them before!). So at least something, somewhere is happening.. maybe.

Perhaps he was trying to force Duchâtelet’s hand. But Duchâtelet will never be blackmailed.
My guess is it was the other way round, invite Aussies who’s bid is too low , get them to wear scarves be visible , flush out people who have been waiting in wings with better bid. Roland playing a dangerous game and so far it has cost him £10mn on price and six months of extra losses. If Aussies only have £30mn now , how are they going to cover £1mn a month of losses. Maybe thats why Roland reluctant to do their deal without security on his second payment.

Wouldn’t really explain why they were hiding in an east stand box at the Blackburn game or the multiple business meetings in recent weeks.

The money earmarked to buy the club is likely separate to that which is earmarked for the general running of the club. I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to buy a club with all the money they have only to realise they are broke.
