Just so I have this right......

1) NLA is saying that The Aussies outbid the Saudies in the full knowledge that they were never going to pay that price but lower their offer to one which suited them once they were the only player in town. If true then scandalous imo.

2) James Seed is saying that on 18th May the Aussies had the money, the deal had been agreed with RD, but the final deal had to be signed off by all the members of the consortium. Which, because of the delay, has not happened. Begs the question why ?? Surely anyone getting involved must know the initial cost of buying the club & then the future outlay needed to fund their 5 year plan. Sounds like the original AFC deal......round up enough interest & go from there. Hardly what I would call "serious".

3) The Aussies must have had enough money at some point (18th May ?) to satisfy both RD and the EFL - FPP test passed also sometime after that. I'm assuming "enough money" to RD was £40m & to the EFL it was this plus 2 years funding.

If all of this is correct then as I've said a few times before I wish that Muir et al had never got involved. Not even the way to run a pub team.

Not sure you’ve read my recent posts properly.
2) is wrong. 3) is partly wrong.
1) is probably wrong info. There’s nothing to back it up, as far as I now.

Have a plane to catch now.

1,2 and 3 are not wrong. They are wrong in your opinion. There is a distinction.

No they are wrong actually, because he’s saying I said things that I didn’t say or imply.
This applies to 2) and 3)
In reference to 1) I said it is ‘probably wrong’. I then said ‘as far as I know’.

All of my info come directly from one of the consortium, so I don’t need to say ‘in my opinion’ all the time. The only issue is whether people think I’ve been lied to, and I certainly not going to write ‘unless they’re lying through their teeth’ every time I write a comment’. Other people’s sources are less direct. No one is getting info from Roland. Lieven’s info we know isn’t necessarily reliable.

Your interventions are very selective. Don’t remember you intervening with NLA when he stated: ‘They have never had the money. Fact.’ Or many other statements presented as fact that are not from a direct source.
‘The Aussies have pulled out. Mic drop.’
‘The Aussies are charlatans, which is because they’re from convict stock’.
‘They never had the dosh’.

It’s been relentless, but how many interventions from you? Zero.

(Just my opinion mate)

And how many 'soon', 'two weeks', 'very close', 'next week or two', 'be patient, it will be worth it' has your mate spoken to you about?

None of them have been factual. Not one. Five year plan my arse.

It seem GM may actually not be ITK, or he's just stringing you along.

None of them are factual? What are you talking about? They are just reply to my oft repeated question 'is the deal off?' which I've been asked repeatedly to put to him by people on here, and on Twitter.
None of them have said 'the deal will be completed next week' or whatever.
They've all been of the 'we're still in it' variety. Bland, but truthful and harmless, unlike your unecessarily rude post. Plenty of people are happy to read them as well. Sure you're an anti-Aussie cheerleader, I get that, and don't have a problem with it, but no need to be so vitriolic.

Roll your neck in.

The rude and vitriolic postings seem to be coming from you to anybody that dares question the validity of this so called Australian consortium. Even you have to admit, that despite the continuous good news they leak out, mainly via you, it actually appears to be poppycock. They are no nearer purchasing the club than they were a year ago.

Have you actually sat back and asked why that is?

I repeat my question that you chose to ignore in both your responses to my post, do you think GM is just stringing you along?

Seeing as you don’t seem to be able to post with out being obnoxious you can, in the words of the great Fanny, ‘Go boil yer ‘ead’.

No rude and vitriolic posting from me at all.

Apart from covert pms in the middle of the night.

Did you get some as well?

They can't be a real person, can they?

Stop all the attacks on anything @JamesSeed posts please chaps or I'll have to get @crumbles to start dishing out bans.

On the subject of Topics, I prefer Mars over those and (Marathon) Snickers bars.

I do miss a good lion bar though.

Four for a £1 in Tescos the other day @Dazzler21 one bite though these days and they're gone .

Given that crisps in Ozspeak are chips, were there more than 14 in the packet?

As said earlier, let’s draw a line now please. no more deviation, user-focus posts please. They are not proving healthy. Let’s get this back on track.

Holy shit. I have just read the last 350+ comments. What a mess. The football season can't start soon enough.

I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the season started on 4 August. So far we have 4 points from 4 matches

In the words of Roland - “huh”?

5 in 5 I think you’ll find!

Nice reference to the Peasant's Revolt. Nice pics of @Henry Irving and @SE7toSG3 too.

Are you suggesting @Henry Irving and @SE7toSG3 are a pair of revolting peasants?

We are and we're proud of it
