What have I missed?

Nothing much, just some casual racism and the Aussies lowering their offer despite RD already saying it's not enough

Aussies lowering what they’ll accept, in order to get the sale through. They were asking for 33m, now 30m. 

Who was asking for 33m ?

do you mean offering 33m 

Who is doing the negotiating for the Aussies? Roland himself? 

JamesSeed said:

The Aussies have reduced their price. They’re now willing to take the club off Roland’s hands for £30m.

It would be helpful if you would expand on this @JamesSeed

are you saying that over the last 2 years in L1 the Aussies have had a bid lodged with the club higher than £30m. This price we have been told was agreed and accepted by Roland and just waiting on them to complete paperwork (or actually finance the bid if you want to look at it differently). 

And now now we are at a higher level they have reduced their bid?

@JamesSeed   Do you know why they've suddenly lowered their offer?

Has Dalman had a lower offer accepted and they're not happy?
Do they want to put the 3m difference towards director loans?
Have they decided that with Bauer and probably Aribo going, the club is worth 3m less?

Has been posted....think more people are in shock of how much of a pleb Driesen is!

Enough please. No more of this off topic. 

Some posts have have been removed. If anyone wishes to discuss further please take off board with a moderator. 

Thanks

now back to the Takeover thread...

I appreciate 'some' posts have been removed...off topic and all that. I am intrigued to know why some have not been removed.

I’m guessing , AFKA may have a family to get ready for school possibly a job also and can’t spend an unlimited amount of time sifting  through a gizzard load of posts .
of course casual racism is unacceptable and people embarrass their selves with it but give these MOD guys a break they don’t live on here 24/7

I appreciate from his reaction that he didn't mean it. If you read the thread and don't just skim for jokes/ puns, it was pretty obvious,  though. 

I think it was pretty obvious he was not linking it. Maybe you subconsciously look for these things and enjoy jumping on them?

Jeez we're all full of the joys at the moment, aren't we? That post was extremely bad taste imo - I accepted above that was probably unintended, though Exiled hasn't exactly apologised. Instead I'm still getting flak for calling it out? 

The seller wants to sell - nobody has bought in two years - I would think £30m is a more than a reasonable offer!

@PaddyP17

Very sorry if I caused offence. I'd never, ever consider myself racist but I won't try to justify my comment if it upset you. 

Tried to delete my post but can't now. If admin can, I'd appreciate that.

See you back in the NFL thread Paddy.
