    Going back to that Boro game, it's worth remembering that the match was massively important for our chances of survival and that we were winning. At the time we still had a chance of survival. Yes I wanted us to win the match ( and being there and cheering on  the team would help that) but also because I felt that staying up would make us as a club more attractive to other buyers.

    I remember people saying at the time "it doesn't matter if we get relegated, indeed being in L1 will make Roland sell the club quicker" which I never agreed with, and it gives me no pleasure to suggest I was right.

    Fans should have walked that that game, we were down.  We were down when when Texeira signed his 'Ronaldo changing' 12k a week(allegedly)contract six weeks previously, for 54 months as well!

    Dalman has been about since long before Wembley. I think initial Cardiff whispers were on here back in January.

    If the Aussies deal is 'really close' and it's their deadline on Tuesday, then you may as well fast forward to Wednesday now because they've been 'really close' for over a year. 
    It’s not the Aussies deadline on Tuesday.
    I accept that it appears to be Dalman day on Mardi gras ( fat Tueday) but if this info is correct and hey presto, it's happening, then it would technically be the Aussies deadline day as well ?

    We weren't though. 5 points from safety with 9 games to go. At that stage it was all to play for

    Indeed Rotherham were rescued when they looked certain to go down by hiring Colin...

       Someone's chatting shit then?

    It is becoming increasingly clear that the Aussies are some sort of default option for Roland.
     He can tout us around for higher and higher bids and when they never get to the extortionate levels he's looking for and he gets fed up he'll give us away to the Aussies.
     We're possibly missing out on some real decent investment all the while this Australian mob are skulking around in the background and playing along with this fruit cake.
    I think that the Tuesday deadline is for RD or someone will walk , this your right will play into the default option of the Aussies 
    What makes you think the Aussies will actually complete the takeover this time? You have been saying for ages that they can't do it - rightly - but you think that we will have new owners for the new season. Has something changed, that you are aware of? 


    The he price has dropped and they are now in a position to look at the final stages of completion, 

    still dont believe they have the financial clout to do what is needed to fund the operational losses long term and that they  are going to be the best option for us out of those currently in the process, 

    but RD finally wants out and is now although still being a bell he is more in sale mode than ever before 
    He's bound to be, really. Because if he doesn't sell before the season starts (or the window closes), then potential buyers will return to their "I'm not buying if I can't influence what's going on on the pitch. I'll wait until January" bunkers.

    And RD will have to finance the losses until then.

    Do people now really believe we are on the verge of a sale? 

    If it happens next week (I say this very lightly) I hope we have a celebrational party at the home game pre season lol

    Would be better if it was the first home league game against Stoke. Would get a sell out home end and a noisy sold out away end. Would be a great atmosphere

    Am I right ?

    There is one bidder that is very close to closing the deal and that bidder is Mehmet Dalman. Duchatelet has told Dalman that he wants the deal concluded and has set a deadline date for that to happen on Tuesday 2nd July. Should that deal not be concluded by the deadline, then he has told another bidder that has come to the party since the Wembley win that they will then be given a short period of time in which to conclude a deal.

    The Australian Consortium have not gone away but are not involved in the scenario above.

    If there is movement from Duchatelet on price, that is always more significant than news of a buyer. The club has to be priced at a level people a willing to pay.

    There have been a lot of rumours (see last few pages on this thread) about an Austrian group being interested. I've heard that Arnold Schwarzenegger is providing the money. He's been given next Tuesday as a final deadline to finalise the deal. His answer to Duchatelet was, "I'll be back!". Sorry, I can't go into more details here, so you will have to be patient for a couple of days.

    It's more likely Cardiff/Dalman need a decision asap.
    Dalman telling RD he has until Tuesday to accept or decline his offer.
    If decline he walks away.
    I would think on past form RD is likely to decline and continue to wait for the Aussies or a n other.
    We are told the Aussies have the money and have agreed a price, but are still stood frozen at the check out.

    You could be right but with this whole process, nobody knows apart from a select. Some have said that Cardiff have given Dalman a Tuesday deadline to get it sorted. But who knows. I don't know, I haven't got a scooby doo about what's going on. My philosophy is that nothing's happened until it's on the CAFC website. It ain't holding my breath for Tuesday ... Damn this thread

    That's about half right.  But no-one knows which half.
