I've not seen any hatred towards them, just doubt. But, I do skip the odd page or 10 on this thread5

Just to be a pedantic dick , the difference between £40 and £60m is £59,999,960ShootersHillGuru said:
The difference between £40 and £60 million is as you put it two years losses. That’s not insignificant by anyone’s reckoning.msomerton said:If these so called buyers are quibbiling over the price then I do not want them to buy the club. The difference between 40 and 60 million is neither here nor there when they are going to have to fund losses of 10 million a year just to keep the team standing still, if they can not afford to do this then we are better off with out them.

Update: 9,425 now. So we are only 575 CL Points away from the deal going through. FACT.Chizz said:For several weeks I have been watching the comments on this thread about page number milestones. Would the sale go through by page 1000? Page 1100? Page 1111? Obviously each of these were passed without a change of ownership.
But it struck me that the important milestone - for me, at least - is closer to home. I now have 9,251 CL points. 749 more and the sale will go through.

Does dishing out flag add points then?0

Before going off on one about the Aussies @tony1234 it's worth remembering that clubs are bought and sold all the time, sometimes fairly quickly, sometimes not so quickly, and the only reason we're going into meltdown is that Roland is our owner.
Every day he owns us is another day of misrule, stagnation and unfullfilled potential. Were he just a bit crap as an owner we'd have more patience, but the fact that he's much worse than that isn't the Aussies fault.
And the reason for the delays? Well various possibilities have been put forward, any of which might be correct, but until we know for sure, let's all try get along, and cut out the vitriol.JamesSeed said:Before going off on one about the Aussies @tony1234 it's worth remembering that clubs are bought and sold all the time, sometimes fairly quickly, sometimes not so quickly, and the only reason we're going into meltdown is that Roland is our owner.

What about a house?Todds_right_hook said:Still dont get the hatred towards the Aussies. What have they done that is so bad? We need to remember that Roland is involved which will make the entire process a drawn out mess.
Using buying a car as an example, you go to a show room, look around, put in an offer, negotiate and agree the price. Put down a deposit and agree a timescale Of say 3 days to sort insurance, paperwork, tax, garage to service and clean etc. Then collect and drive away.
If Roland was selling the car, he wouldn’t take it off the market once a price has been agreed, he wouldn’t realise it needed tax and insurance, lost the mot paperwork etc. All of a sudden, two weeks instead of 3 days!!!
Has any here bought a football club? Has any here bought a football club off of Roland? I’m equally as frustrated at the time taken but I’m blaming Roland and his merry band of f**ktards and nobody else. He didn’t realise he owed directors £7m! Surely that has put a major spanner in the works time wise.7 -

Unbelievably, some morons even now, actually support Roland.4 -
Angeldust, on the other unmentionable site, saying Duchatelet now actively looking for executive staff to run the business, as Australian consortium have failed in their attempt to broker a deal for the club.
How about a few players too?3 -
Word on the street is that Roly or more likely one of his minions, is now looking to appoint staff to run the club.
I’d say that the Aussie’s are out of the equation.
Honestly believe we will see at least Aribo go tomorrow, probably Bauer as well. No one will come in and Bowyer will walk.
Utter mess.17
