    More from Angeldust.

    I have been told this evening that one of the interested parties have walked away from any further negotiations. I don't believe it is the Australian party but need to follow up.

    DO NOT BUY. WAIT TIL HE’S GONE.

    Tell you what.
    If the boycotters return for the last 2 games i will put off buying a season ticket.
    Note
    This is not a dig at the boycotters its thier choice to do as they wish
    Why would I return for the last two games and undo all the hard work I have put into boycotting so far.

    Are we going to get a statement from CARD?
    Would be good to remind people what they can/should do

    So people listen to CARD? Why?

    I’m very anti Roland, but I can’t see how CARD would stop people, that’s ridiculous
    I can't see why anyone needs to be told ...... boycott end of !

    Absolutely agree. There’s always going to be fans buying but if we can limit that to say 2k then it will send out the message

    Or maybe it is good news.

    Not that I don't want brother @Redhenry's lot (don't know enough about them) over the Aussies (don't know enough about them either).

    But my theory is that Duchatelet has a bird in hand (the Aussie bid that has been on the table for a long time, perhaps as far back as October 2017).

    But that has allowed him to look for two birds in the bush (The Scottish/South African McLeish group, Redhenry's Saudis, the mythical British group, maybe others).

    If there is just one live bidder then that might focus Roland's mind and make him realise that he ain't gonna get more from elsewhere and he'd be better off taking the money on offer now and going.

    I spend enough time on this forum as it is... If I were to read every post I'd end up with my wife wondering where I've gone, I'd have a headache and the only word I'll be able to utter is "pot noodle"

    Me too. Not sure I’m proud about it, though. I just want this done so I can get my life back.

    Wherever it is that the Aussies are walking away from must have a tricky revolving door, because this must be about the fifth time they've 'walked away'.

    I'm really not concerned about one of the parties walking away.

    If there are/were 2 or 3 parties, sooner or later 1 or 2 of those are going to have to miss out (walk way, be outbid, call it what you want) in order to get to the party that has won. By definition, we NEED the ones who aren't going to succeed to be out to bring the whole saga to a conclusion.

    Of course, the nightmare scenario is that they all walk away - but that is a nightmare for Duchatelet too so I doubt he would allow that to happen. At least not irretrievably.

    It is either the one left standing or no one.

    It was always going to come down to this, so good.

    You posted this only about 30 mins after the post you quoted, in the morning when people are still getting up and having brekky. Chill.

    I have a hunch the British and Saudis are one and the same.

    It is not the Aussies who are walking away.

    I think a few people on here could have this thread as a specialist subject on mastermind

    One of the bidders has walked away because we have a clear winner now. I suspect it will be announced "imminently"
