    So just for those of us who've had their head in the clouds since the play off final... 

    Anyone care to summarize where we are?

    Remember when it was announced that each buying party had their own price? And that the price had been agreed with each party? I've always felt that this meant Aussies would buy the club and lease back the stadium and ground for something like £30M. Dalman apparently wants the whole club and thus would be paying closer to the £60-65M Roland wants, up front. In my opinion, this is why the Aussies are still in the running... Roland is willing to slice this any way that works. The price and terms have not changed because he was always over-charging and has not backed away from that in the slightest way, it's just that we are in a higher division. Roland is likely quite happy to have the Aussies because he gets to make a profit off hard assets and no longer has to worry about the club.
    No-one is paying £60m-£65m up front.  Or anywhere close to that.  Roland may be utterly bonkers, but there is no way he would still be negotiating if anyone offered that.  He'd reach past LdT and rip Dalman's arm off for that amount. 

    You can trust me on that.  And I know the square root of fuck all about what's going on.  
    So what is the square root of fuck all?

    I think it's any number from 0 to 77million

    I want to feel comfortable enough to buy season tickets this week.
    I’m sure that if you give Roland a shout he will get the takeover signed off a bit quicker for you.

    Colin is saying £33m for everything.
    I have never felt so confident that the takeover is close, now that Colin has spoken.

    Is there any word yet from Roland about the graffiti and protests in Hong Kong?  Has he said which branch of CARD he thinks is responsible for this yet?

    Angel Dust saying Aussies only to buy part of the club with RD keeping the stadium and training ground.
    At one point months ago he said the Aussies were out.

    Whether true or not, this would be the worst outcome, IF it was the case imo

    I know it's not true, that's why I said whether it's true or not, it don't matter. It's not beyond the realms of possibility, far from it in fact, but I reckon it would be worse than RD staying on and selling lock stock and barrel, at a late date
