On the overseas trip, RD limited the budget to £20k, which is why they struggled with it. They either managed to find a way of doing it for £20k or the budget went up.

There is a (reasonable) view that Robinson wasted money last year going to Ireland twice.

Suppose if we only have 9 players it won't be too expensive

Hotels.com is Duchatelet's friend.

To the tune of Billy Joel, we didn't start the fire

Doucher, Duchatelet, how much will the Aussies pay

Sparrows Lane, James Seed, 1000 pages on my feed

Ezri Konsa, Redskin, patience is running thin

North Greenwich, the Peninsula, has this thread gone too far

Elfsborg, Red Henry’s wrong, nth London addick sings a different song

In the know, the price too high, Napa can’t multiply

J Block, breakthrough, Roland needs a new shoe

Ibborg, Blackpool, Roland you are a tool

We can’t sell the club, it’s been on the market, and he’ll sell our next starlet

We can’t sell the club, The Aussies want to buy it, the EFL will fight it

Done deal, Airman Brown, Hackett Fairchild going down

Donald Muir, he’s not poor, Roland can you reduce the price a little more

Russell Slade, Lewis Page, Colin’s on the rampage

Hashtag not a penny more, Roland’s on the dance floor

Rubashow, press release, KAG questioned by police, Roland brush your teeth

Essex Al, on the prowl, onward to 2000 pages now, Airman is our sacred cow

Chris Powell, Harry Kewell, Gomez got sold to Liverpool

Checkatrade, hopes fade, how much longer for this whole charade

We can’t sell the club, it’s been on the market, and he’ll sell our next starlet

We can’t sell the club, The Aussies want to buy it, the EFL will fight it

How long did it take to compose that ? Great effort.

ha - got the elbow from this bird I've been seeing yesterday so naturally I thought what better way to spend the evening than to put our takeover into song form.

I'll have a crack at the next two verses

That's long distance relationships for you @t'cobbles.

Looks happier now they're through to the Second Round

I can see a female Richard Murray in this pic!

Been detached from following this too closely over the last week, but if I try and weigh up what seems the most likely rumour aspects its as follows

- strong rumours that following a review by the EFL, one or two investors who were part of the consortium no longer are

- strong rumours that the consortium reduced their offer, whether as a result of losing investors or for a different reason

- Roland 'reacted badly' and sold Konsa. Attempts were made to buy off the o/s director debt at a reduced rate, which appears to have been unsuccessful. RD has since re-engaged with forming budget plans based on a non-takeover

- Loose / fixed deadlines set for finalising consortium / proving funding capability / completion

- @JamesSeed now believes that the consortium have plugged the investor gap that was created during the EFL process


Not as detailed a summary as Henners excellent ones, but am I following what are perceived to be the most likely of the rumours / info being shared?

"And so we are just weeks away from the first game of the new 2020-21 season and head coach Johnnie Jackson says the team are raring to go and push for promotion out of the National League. Owner Roland Duchatelet is till seeking a buyer for the club and insists a deal is imminent."

Roland is the tool, not you me old china.

You’re a threat to my seat at the table, but would never call you a tool

Now we've passed 1010 and 1011, it should be 1100.
