    Should??

    Like Dowie should be a good manager.

    Like Duchatelet should be a good owner.

    Not unreasonable that the employees are told first, some of whom may be jobless as a result of new owners taking over.

    Just as well you don't use your real name on here @bobmunro as otherwise you'd be getting a call from Eltham old bill

    That would be terrible, I will drive that youngster to the Valley gates and together we will wave him off.
    I'll go with you. Give him a wave (of sorts)

    Am I missing something here?
    Has this latest bit of news re Murray making a statement to employees been confirmed......I haven’t seen or heard anything thus far to convince me it’s factual.

    GTKN is entirely reliable, 100% fact that RM addressed staff today.
    Good enough for me.

    Just sell the club and FUCK OFF

    Its not Muir v Muir is it, nor is it rich Aussie's v poor Aussie's. We have two newly reported details today; that is that Murray has told staff it will likely happen in February, and Airman tells us it's likely to be an Aussie consortium.

    Fully expect these points to get lost in lots of other nonsense but if we could stay within the auspices of these details only it would help keep the focus of the thread. Could we also ignore any johnny-come-latelys to this thread who haven't bothered staying with it from way back and then ask dumb questions about value after 350+ plus pages, and set off that whole shitfest again. Thank you.

    That Murray thinks it will be February isn't news.

    He said that before Walsall.

    Rick is hinting it's the Aussies but we've known they have been around since October when they did due diligence.

    If the "Getting To Know The Network" people say its happening, I believe it. In fact, I believe its already done and the wait is for league approval.

    That’s me in the dark then. I stopped reading the thread about 250 pages back when nothing much new was being said.

    They're not.

    They are saying Richard Murray told staff it "should" be happening in February.

    Not the same thing at all.

    I posted the following 40 pages ago, if it is the Aussie Muir, I feel good about it.

    Was looking into articles about Andrew Muir, the Aussie. The more I read about him, the more I like him.

    As mentioned earlier, he sold "The Good Guys" electronics chain (a family business his father founded) for $870 million cash about 17 months ago, which means he is liquid and very rich. Also was looking to sell $130 million of real estate one year ago but no word if he did, so he might even be worth a billion dollars (£700M.) Post-sale he bought a historic house for $17 million and a used jet for $10 mil, so he appears in the spending mood. Claims his main goal now is philanthropy. His role as director of Essondon Football Club is primarily focused on determining compensation for management. Big believer in good nutrition for children and operates charities in this area. Follower of "positive psychology." Usually likes to operate within a consortium because he likes to get as many minds into a project as possible. Does not like to give many interviews. Animal lover who has given money to stop rhino poaching in Africa.

    Oh sorry, thought I read "at the end of the month" from some other post the last few pages. Assumed that meant this month.

    I would hope telling someone to f*ck off would fail the harassment test.

    But just in case, my sincere apologies, Mr Keohane - you tosser.

    Only interested in the Aussies if they’re multi billionaires. I want so much cash involved that they don’t know what to do with it and blatantly disregard all FFP rules.

    None of this prudent financial management or working to a prescriptive budget.

    I want absolute mayhem in the transfer windows $£$£$£$£$£$ with us outbidding the European giants of the game.

    We all deserve it after the utter turd fest we’ve had to endure for the past four years.

    If true, February can’t come soon enough (one and a bit days).

    I’m confused. How many Aussies are there that want to buy us? Are they rich Aussies or poor Aussies? Should we be happy or not? Is it Muir & Muir or Muir v Muir?
