    This is the bit where the deal isn't going to happen and the details get leaked. Airman said he knew about Dalman a while ago. We should divert our attention to Bowyer - isn't the deadline for him to sign Friday!!!!!!

    There seems to be no shortage of potential buyers willing to pay what the club is worth. I won't knock any of them for not being stupid enough to pay what a mad man wants!

    Buy a business. F*ck it up.

    Tell everyone you want to sell it.

    Then continue to keep rejecting offers....offers that are beyond anyone's wildest imagination.

    Have a little break from your 2%.

    Airman has confirmed that there is no shortage of potential buyers. Nobody is buying because Roland wants too much. So this is just more of the same crap. Are we supposed to forget he wants too much or assume an even bigger idiot than him wants to buy us at £60m?
    Sum is close to the £33m plus directors loans Muttley. Same for this Cardiff fella. It was more (nearer Airman’s £45m) but Roly reduced it (the selling his shares for £1 business). Roland wants out, and much of it is down to the protests which have really got to him (that’s not me giving my opinion btw ;-))

    Dalman seems like he means business, but he’ll probably discover all the crap that Gerard discovered, and it’s a question of whether or not it puts him off, I imagine. How it could happen quickly I have no idea, but we live in hope.

    £60m, £45m - still way too much for a club losing money at the rate we do! Nobody is going to pay that. In all honesty, you would think a sane seller would bite somebody's arm off for £30m!

    If true that he now wants 33Mill plus director loans, that seems reasonable for a club like us, given the league/facilitators/youth set up/fan base - Big Big If though

    Apparently Dalman has said a number of times in the past that he wants to own his own club. Fingers crossed he’s keen enough that he’s not put off by whatever he finds when going through the books.

    If he’s been involved for months and has done due diligence , he must know by now all the complications .

    So you think that our club is worth £40m. Are you sure?

    It’s only worth what someone’ll pay for it.

    Why have it seems so many people been sitting on this until today. What’s the significance of it coming into the public domain today ? Who do we think authorised it’s release ?

    How complicated can it be James ? They’ve agreed a price / they are buying a football club - it’s difficult to comprehend what other crap Gerard might have found ? - I’m not doubting you btw - but I can’t understand what it might have been

    Calm down everyone and just think about how excited CL was this time last year.

    It's new season ticket application time again. That's the reason this has come out now and how many bought them last year cos they thought Roland was going?

    Possibly but the news first broke in a Welsh paper which suggests it wasn’t leaked by RD.

    And poor Airman is smarting at being publicly scooped by a Welsh regional. Yet he's had the name for a while it seems. So why does it break now from the Welsh end? Close or impasse or mischief? Who knows??

    The journalist who broke the story said that it came from Dalman himself. Not sure of the significance of the timing though!
