    When you wan to buy a house costing £200k the estate agent/seller often want to see an "agreement in principle" from a mortgage lender to assure them that you are good to purchase the property.

    I'm sure if you're looking to buy something for £20m the seller will want something a bit more substantial than just your word.

    Especially as with DD there is a lot of work to be done by club staff preparing documents, providing figures and forecasts etc.

    In any case I understood from VOTV that Duchatelet had hired the very expensive London lawyers Mishcon de Reya https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mishcon_de_Reya

    That would cost him a lot of money

    We asked for evidence of funds from Zabeel before letting them start DD I seem to remember (very vaguely)

    Taking over a plc and a limited company like baton is a different process iirc

    " 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.

    And at the moment, there's no S !

    Love the fact everyone and his dog knows DD has been done but haven't got a Scooby as to who by.

    We know exactly who it was done by, but as it was a shell company it doesn’t prove who the money was. In fact, the reason to assume there was any money is the unlimited access RD gave them. He wouldn’t have done that without seeing proof of funds ... you would think.
    Why would you have to have proof of funds?
    You're assuming someone is going to buy us lockand stock.

    I'm sure Roland would offer a favourable rate of interest should they want to take control now and pay later.
    Why would you even hand over control of the playing assets without some evidence of the buyers’ ability to trade? Using Grapevine’s idea of Staprix as a bank, that makes no sense. Even in the financial crisis, banks had lent against assets, even if the counterparty was a poor risk.
    Assets yes. A budget away from those assets to actually run a football club with a degree of success. No
    Either way that party has to have assets, which takes us back to RD being persuaded they were credible. Unless, of course, he just took the word of someone he trusted.
    So, we know 100% DD has been done for a shall company but don’t know if RD bothered to check who they were.... was it done for CARD Ltd or ROT Ltd and was the protest fund used to pay Mischin de Reya?

    haha, richer than RD

    Can you rule Redbull out as the ones you know about Redhenry?
    I can.

    RH said there was a chance they wouldn’t spend even though they’re loaded:
    Redhenry said:

    But RD is also loaded and he has been awful.

    We know Red Bull would spend and so I’m ruling them out.
    But Redhenry still hasnt ruled it out so im now convinced its them

    If it was red bull it would be all over the news like when they were looking at West Ham and I think Leeds? Also highly doubt they would pay what RD wants

    Best thing about this is the fact Meire 'resigned' 'twice'

    Memories of one of the funniest moments in the anti regime fight.

    Well when our own commentary team on Valley Pass can't even pronounce players names correctly, or tell the difference between Paul Williams and Peter Garland, what hope is there? ;)
