  • How much more is the club worth if we are promoted. They could be looking at 10m additional incoming next season, not insignificant. But duch is eroding any chance of that by pulling the plug on robbo.
  • If potential buyers wanted to visit The Valley to attend a match then it would fall on Richard Murray, as RD's only remaining representative at the club, to entertain them as his 'guests', even if he was involved with a competing bid. Perhaps that is why they didn't sit together ?

    And how much would an owner need to spend to stay in the Championship, let alone get promoted? The answer to both is likely to be, a lot.

    What happens if all the bidders walk?

    we are fucked

  • I really hope McCleish is not being lined up as a manager.

    me too. maybe he is advising in some capacity?
  • Bing bong.

    " Would Richard Murray please come to the CL thread entitled " Roland Duchatelet ready to sell ".

    He is clearly the only person to put us out of our misery by spilling the beans.

    All this speculation is playing havoc with my IB !!!!

    Is he really that bad then?
  • Nothing in the know, but just caught up on the last 4 pages of this. People linking Donald Muir with South Africa...would he have been involved also with Dave King, chairman at Rangers, who is a South African based Scot?

    Based on nothing more than the press reports about him and McLeish's dire record as a manager in England, I really hope he's not involved!

    If he is connected to the potential buyers I would see him in some sort of director off football roll rather than a manager

    There are two bidders left in the process. I have been told the identity of one, i haven't got any info on the other bid.
    Without naming names, are they Aussies/Arabs/Scots/Bokkies/English/mates of Roland/none of these? *delete as applicable
  • Anyway, back to the important stuff about DooDoo Doo...Dah Dah Dah that’s all I want to say to you.

    But RD is also loaded and he has been awful.

    Are they more loaded than RD? If so, by how much roughly?

    I keep telling them that but they won't believe me : - )

    Also, just as bidders can drop out it is possible that new parties can make their interest known.

    Cracked it.

    "Can't say, sorry" is an anagram of Carson Y Trays, the American entrepreneur and inventor of a flat, shallow container with a raised rim, typically used for carrying food and drink.

    Well if he turns out to be the sort of owner we want, i’m definitely in for buying one of those tray whaddymicallit thingys he’s come up with, they sound great for balancing a bovril and half time snack :smile:
