    SAY SOMETHING MURRAY OR EVEN BETTER DO SOMETHING

    We need Murray out as well when the takeover does happen. Really don't want him part of any incoming group.

    Are players considered assets though? Like buildings, equipment, merchandise etc?

    Are they not just employees paid by the club? Surely they have employment rights like most of us?

    If somebody in the ticket office hands in their notice and wants out of their employment contract does the club refuse just because of an ongoing takeover?

    Genuinely don’t know the difference etc so would be good to get some insight.

    How much does everyone think the club’s worth? Don’t think anyone’s mentioned that yet

    The absence of "ownership" and leadership has been breathtaking in its stupidity from the outset. I have known level 8 clubs better structured, more professional and better led.

    Indeed - and this has always been the issue.

    It is surely the job of the board of directors to ensure that such a proper management structure exists and that the executive is held to account. No board = no accountability. The outcome was inevitable.

    And let’s not forgot the aliens who had the ability to jump 10 feet from a standing position, thus making height a non issue at the negotiating table.
    Talks broke down early doors, as they wanted to bring in their own coaching staff.

    Why no public statement as to where everything stands? What happened to media cover for Meire

    So the vultures are circling!! - Ricky off to Sheffield, Konsa potentially to Everton, who else may RD sell? Other clubs will come in for our players, and get them as well, as RD oversees a fire sale. Other clubs know RD has pulled up the drawbridge and is happy to sell but not buy, after-all he wants to get out of CAFC, he cant get what he is asking for, so he sells as much as possible, player wise, to recoup some of his own losses made by his own bad decisions!!!
    We are in for a rocky ride over the next few weeks, I wouldn't be surprised if KR walks soon, and all the while RD stays in control, Richard Murray stays quiet and watches the club be destroyed even further. When RD goes I hope RM does as well, I've never said anything against him (RM), but now enough is enough. We need a fresh start and very very soon.
    Whoever is looking ti buy us, please come and buy us now, before he destroys what is left of our once great club....PLEASE!!

    Kashi to Metz?

    It is common practice during the discussions of any takeover for there to be no material change in assets (includes players). On occasion the parties can agree some movement but that is normally between just 2 parties.

    There are apparently four groups expressing interest and thus consensus across all interested parties would be difficult to achieve.

    I imagine that in football things work slightly differently, in that there are transfer windows for players, whereas for other assets (building, land etc) they can be bought or sold anytime.

    The price of the club will presumably be adjusted downwards, though this depends I guess on whether the Holmes fee is used to reduce the debt to Roland or whether it is left in the club as cash

    I asked many months back if anyone knew of him being vindictive in his business dealings.....the response was virtually nil.
    I suggested that maybe our Belgian 20 guys out there could find out if he has been known to shaft anyone merely out of vengeance.....once again there was no response.
    Maybe we are about to find out!

    If the senile old scrote is still our owner next season I will not renew my season ticket.
    I wasn't going to this season but weakened at the last minute.
    If he is still here next season I will not weaken again.

    Just sell the club and FUCK OFF

    No known examples of him being spiteful and vindictive.

    Although he shafted Standard and STVV, in both cases it would seem the motivation was to enrich himself.

    Thanks @Henry Irving much appreciated. I'm not sure I will be going again this season, probably only to protest. I just hope he raises some cash and agrees to sell.

    Heard that no one is getting near RD's asking price.

    What is the asking price?
    50p and a lb of grapes....
    Adrian Mole reference?
