    Asked ‘Is this takeover is still on?’ the Aussie consortium’s leader replied:

    ‘As far as I know! Are you going to the game?’

    'As far as I know' from the 'consortium leader'...It's a joke, right?

    Does the EFL have a phone number? What about if CAFC fans spent a day bombarding it with calls demanding answers to the Trusts questions so they can do fuck all else?

    I have access to this technology we use at work called Lusha. It somehow has access via LinkedIn to people’s mobiles that they signed up to when they opened a LinkedIn account (if they gave their mobile). For me it’s a telesales dream as I now have a chance of getting through to a lot of decision makers. I will have a little trawl through it 2mo and see what it gives me re: EFL employees
    If you really are planning on doing this, then probably best for you to delete this post, and for anyone that's quoted it (including me) to also delete their posts once you have.
    Lusha are a registered company and have an agreement with LinkedIn otherwise the whole thing would be completely illegal and I wouldn’t be using it.
    The team at Lusha is fully committed to the requirements of the GDPR. Our legal and policy experts have closely analyzed the requirements of the GDPR and continue to monitor new guidance on best practices for implementing the requirements of the GDPR. We have taken these new requirements to heart and made changes to our products, contracts and policies to ensure that we are fully in compliance with the GDPR. Lusha services comply with the GDPR as of May 25, 2018.

    Lusha complements your profile searches on LinkedIn with personal phone numbers and emails. ... Lusha gets me more real personal cell numbers than any other tool out there, including the fancy/expensive tools like DiscoverOrg.
    Sounds well dodgy ;-)
    Just the name 'Lusha' sounds dodgy to me. Like some seventies porn mag. One of those ones that would have to be covertly imported from somewhere like Denmark, because it didn't satisfy the UK's strict demands for modesty, morality and blandness as enforced by the Viewers and Listeners association. Ahem... not that I'd know anything about it.

    apart from an Aussie being in Australia (quell surprise) then both sides have agreed that the fans are deemed unworthy enough to be told anything at all.

    the Aussies are starting to be more twunkish that RD.

    Are they allowed to disclose anything without RD? I imagine the NDA will influence that.

    Looking more and more like the Aussies are just hanging around. There's no urgency to get this over the line. I think they are waiting for the price to drop and hope they are at the front of the que when it does.
    Roland doesn't want them to bugger off as he'll need them in a bidding war should someone else come along.
    The two groups appear to be sleep walking along waiting for something to give.

    Unique.

    How do you know though that the Aussies may want to say something but RD wont agree to it? Maybe hes the twunk.

    GM’s family is still in Oz. He doesn’t get to see them much to be fair.
    What’s a twunk?

    Actually should have said ‘not allowed to comment on anything without agreement from both sides’.

    Sitting in departure lounge. My three hour flight delay has become 50 mins.

    My 'marvellous' didn't mean that, Jimmy. I just thought it looked funny. Like, where else would I expect to find Aussies?

    Great band! 2nd album was a bit too commercial for my liking though!

    Give it a rest, you're becoming tiresome now.

    For a man who's apparently made a living for many years advising on financial transactions you seem to have surprisingly little idea as to how these things can work. Glad you never sorted my pension!

    At this point, in terms of waiting around, why not? Now the transfer window is closed it's not like they can affect anything much before January. The ideal for them is likely that by December we're leaning towards the wrong end of the table and Roland is looking at a £5m hole in his finances and the chance that we could be a L2 team which would cost him even more to support. It means that we are going to have a miserable few months but the Aussies might have a little more negotiating power the longer it drags on.

    "On tonight's John Peel show we have a session by the Aussie group Twunkers and the Side Kicks, who's debut album was expected to be out in May but has been delayed for mysterious reasons, plus we also welcome back Belgian punksters Roland and the missing water bottles. But first here's The Undertones"

    Which if true, they are still looking to buy whilst their possible future purchase goes further down the shitter.

    Baffling.

    we've got tyre kickers trying to buy off of a messer! Forget about any deal. Mike Ashley brought Debenhams for £90 million in 2 days.

    Bought.

    And do we really want a Mike Ashley type of owner?

    I’d take him over what we’ve got.
    He’s by no means a perfect owner but when Newcastle have gone down he’s made sure the funds are there to go straight back up
    He'd be certifiable not to have done.
    To be fair, being a yo-yo club isn’t a bad thing.
    Shit when you get relegated but glorious when promoted!
    Newcastle have the yo-yo off to a tee
    Apart from Leicester in recent times, the premiership is pointless to be part of! Dull dull dull. Same old teams winning everything

    Loads of people have them, he gets loads of emails already.
    Contact numbers being given out is a bit creepy? Would you like it if I put your numbers in the public domain?

    Perhaps GM back from Oz. The rumour about the takeover after the Norwich game could be right :smiley:

    People tweeting that staff have been told in today’s briefing that the takeover is being completed next week.

    Hopefully but the same was said in February.
