    Agreed. This thread is a jinx anyway. Let's hope for a miracle on the pitch in the next few weeks and see what happens.and let's hope what you've heard is not accurate. I fear though that it is.

    Similar things being said on the other forum too.


    I so hope bexley boys version of events turns out to be right.

    In all the clubs in all of the world, a loaded "Visionary" had to walk into this one....

    So RD allegedly wants to offload the burden, while still benefitting from any future success for the next 5 year? Is this normal terms for a sale of a League 1 club or is RD a different type of parasite?

    @ElfsborgAddick is having a few beers with him tonight, so he will get more info.

    IF one party has pulled out, then that may bring things to a close as RD won't be able to play off the 2 potential buyers

    This things can take time. For example, the potential takeover of Wigan (a much easier prospect you'd have thought) first emerged in October, was confirmed in January/February, but still hasn't happened.

    There are people with credibility who still think it may be done before Blackburn.

    Therefore the Blackburn game needs to be either a mass demonstration or mass celebration.

    If he is trying to find a buyer who is willing to include add-ons for the next 5 years then he will be looking for some time.
    Perhaps this time would be the perfect opportunity for Richard Murray to make a statement to the fans.

    The optimists among us might see this as the end game.

    The pessimists as the end of days.

    Both may be right.

    The Aussies have been around, according to rumours, from before October 2017. Earlier if you believe they are the same group or an off-shoot of, as the AFC group that kicked off this thread over a year ago.

    So the Aussies have been around for a long time and they haven't walked away. According to SHG they just won't pay Duchatelet's silly terms.

    If the Saudis have walked (and the British group don't actually exist - "fake news" alert) the the President can hang around for another summer or longer in the vain hope of finding a mug punter or he can do the deal the Aussies thought they had done back in February.

    Aussies on or around 8 May, which we all know is Victory in Europe Day, is my guess.

    They aren't the original Aussies though from what I can gather, as you may know, a friend told me last week he spoke to one of the guys in the original bid and he walked away after due diligence. This must be a second Aussie group which includes Muir.

    Before Blackburn what? Win the Champions League?
    No, he meant on the M1, before Blackburn, most likely Northampton services, Little Chef.

    That will require mass debating.

    All quiet depressing really,having the best Community Trust in the country and whilst watching the upbeats on the pitch on Saturday, to have an owner who just isn’t interested and is so reclusive back in Belgium is soul destroying. It appears Roland’s quiet unbelievable price tag with add on’s just shows how out of touch and delusional the man really is. Please let the end game be soon.
