    Yes. As I said earlier. Jim White unwittingly doing Roland’s bidding the other day tends to point that he is getting itchy.

    I am convinced this includes Mike Ashley - NUFC are nowhere near being sold.

    So part three

    Lady Irving called me for supper you impatient lot.

    So group one is the Aussie Americans (AA)

    LDT was in the conference call mentioned by JW.

    LDT said he is in regular contact so this is not exceptional.

    LTD said that the "complexity has been reduced". When pushed on what this meant he said "fewer decision makers".

    There is no split of ownership ie of ground v club with AA, they will all have shares.

    AA have not submitted all the EFL paperwork. This includes financial and non financial paperwork.

    There are no "due dates" IE deadlines to complete.

    AA have "submitted proof of funds sometime ago"

    LDT was asked more than once and stressed that the AA have the money and that money is not the issue. He wouldn't say what is the issue.

    I stress here that I'm reporting what was said not necessarily agreeing with or endorsing it.

    So if money isn’t the issue then what is I wonder?
    The price
    Keep up. The price has been agreed.
    Sorry......been watching Sheridan Smith ; then the news.....

    I have never had any info on them or If they were even British but If I am honest I’d say the chance that if they sit tight the deal would become sweeter once the Aussie bid failed

    The latest news about the Americans may have been just enough for them to believe the door was shutting


    This is also my reasoning for not thinking this was all doom and gloom when it looked like jim white was the latest victim

    If the Aa group need funding, they should team up with the brits

    Can I say many thanks @Henry Irving.......esp with dropping my name into your posts too... :smile:

    Still nowhere nearer knowing what the feck is going on but I think its safe to say it won't be happening this transfer window.

    Just can't fathom out why TWO completely different groups have been trying to buy us for over a year yet neither have managed to complete the deal. Beyond bizarre.

    Was right about JW. Said he was being fed a line. Seems like the brits didn't buy it either.

    I don’t think anyone’s saying the Aussies have no money.

    Happy to have the Brits, but would be gutted to get Mike Ashley.

    Not like you to change your position that you’ve held since the start. Shocked here in Westcombe Park :anguished:

    Maybe but Richard Murray know them which to me means that it is likely that he would have a role in the new set up
    We both know regardless of who wins that would happen
    I really really hope not. As great as it will be to be rid of Roland that would put a massive downer on it.

    Sorry @Henry Irving you didn't kidnap LDT and threaten to kill him unless the takeover is completed in 2 weeks as I suggested!

    I'm afraid you're gonna have to be the new scapegoat😺

    Sorry but he said he had to leave to go to another meeting. He implied it was something important so I held back.
    Was it Transatlantic?

    I don't trust RD, but he has said the purchase price isn't the issue, it's the running costs.
    (I/we of course know if the asking price was lower, they would have more to fund the running costs).

    I'm sure I remember someone insinuating that there were allegedly some issues around the legality of certain things when RD purchased the club, relating to the spivs. Does anyone recall this and as far as we know has that been resolved? I just can't think what would mean multiple groups of purchasers need to be so silent on everything

    Yes I remember it, but no one ever knew what it was about, as far as I know.

    That would be my theory if there was the same reason why both groups had not completed.

    My hunch though is it’s different reasons. For the Aussies, i suspect it’s due to the own inability to get their own ducks in a row, for the Brits, my hunch is because one of their key ducks current involvement with another club means at this point they would not be allowed by the EFL to proceed. The reason why both have been content to have a backdrop of dual ‘continuing interest without exclusivity’ is neither having confidence in the other to be in a position to get over the line.

    That’s my left field guess.

    I think running costs is a euphemism here as we all know one of the main costs of the club related to the panic level contracts handed out as the club was run by shite managers and Katrien.

    Unfortunately we can’t afford championship wages if we are in League 1, but we also can’t afford to let all our players who are championship standard leave at the end of the year.
