I took a couple of photos of some suited gents on the pitch pre kickoff as I thought they might have been representatives of one of the interested parties but after further consideration decided that they were just the match sponsors.J BLOCK said:Anything coming out of today’s game?
I can post the photos though if you like?

If it could be in three months it could just as easily be four, five or six.Henry Irving said:Heard today that RD said to KR that the takeover might be in "three days, three weeks or three months."
Sounds to me that an impasse has been reached.

I may be completely wrong, but I read that as three different timescales for the three different reported bids.Henry Irving said:Heard today that RD said to KR that the takeover might be in "three days, three weeks or three months."

Given a choice I’d happily settle for three days.

All I heard was DD is complete with the aussies and they are ready to go. One other concrete bid but DD not taken place yet. Familiar face(s)23
-
If the "familiar faces" include Peter Varney, then he better have the highest bid by millions of pounds because I think Roland would rather endure more abuse for another year than sell to him.2

The image is not showing for some reason. Not sure what I’m doing wrong tbh.flyingkiwiDK said:J BLOCK said:

If the familiar face is Richard Murray that would explain am awful lot of the scorn poured on DD, cash flow and integrity of rival bidders.1

Lower West today. Pretty sure the potential new owners have just walked into the pitch with Bob Bolder. Have photos and will post later.
Sorry to burst your bubble mate. Those were members of Dartford Golf Club celebrating a 70th birthday of a long time sponsor. Friends of mine.flyingkiwiDK said:Lower West today. Pretty sure the potential new owners have just walked into the pitch with Bob Bolder. Have photos and will post later.

Well, they completed a lot of booze. Surprised they could walk onto the pitch tbh.The Red Robin said:

I hope to God whoever buys this club sends Murray away on day one. To keep him here for yet another ownership tangle would be like having the smell of pooh on your shoe following you around after previously wiping it off.
As a newer fan, for me when I think of Murray, I think of that first video release by the club where he said "we will no longer have to sell young players, early" and for his dreadful performances at fan meetings, which are also on YouTube. He was a true believer of RD and KR, early, and stuck by them and I want nothing to do with him.
If he remains in ANY fashion at CAFC after Rolly sells, my excitement over a takeover will be diminished at least a little and possibly more. It will also make me wonder about how much new owners are aware of fan's feelings about the RD regime and those who enabled it.1 -

Did they just pitch up for a day out or do they have the wedge to buy the club?alan dugdale said:

Would explain why most of the transfer rumors coming out are for loans.alan dugdale said:

A major stumbling block may be the appearance of another potential buyer. If they offer a million or so more than the Aussies Roland may turn the Aussie' bid down. It would mean a new DD taking place which would put any takeover back by weeks if not months.0

Seeing that @Redhenry said the group he knows of is still involved I think we all need to strap in for a few more months of this nightmare.4 -

Anyone shed any light on who is part of this Aussie bid - we know Muir is in their, but do we have a group of businessmen or just him?0

I would very much expect RM to have a revisionist view of the Duchatelet years after the Belgian has gone.
There'll be a lot of stuff about him having reined in RD and KMs worst ideas, and if it wasn't for him things would have been much worse.
I wouldn't be inclined to believe a word of it.12 -
