    “It’s too quiet, nothing is happening and the takeover is off”

    or

    ”It’s very quiet, the takeover must be close”

    Nothing has happened to change my theory that Douchatelet doesn't want to sell.

    He wants to save face more than he wants to sell the club.

    Where’s  nla ?
    Here 

    all is is good things are still happening in the way they should 

    privately and amongst those it should , when it’s like this I don’t know why people worry 

    when you get numerous outpourings of information it’s either because one of the parties is trying to manipulate the other or the information is just incorrect and stated to shut people up from constant requests of updates 

    think of it as your own business do you conduct these in private or in public 

    I am still convinced he will be gone by start of the season the minute I hear otherwise I will say so but right now there are many things with many people doing what they feel is right to close the deal 
    Sounds good but who will our new owners be, in your opinion?

    I think he wants to sell but is not desperate which is why he is holding out for a ridiculous price. I don't think he is right in the head, so that is a simplification, but mad or not, if he was desperate to sell, we would have been sold.

    I still think Australian as they are further along than the others  currently and so they should be with how long it’s taken then to get this far 

    I believe the group @PragueAddick has mentioned could push them i now believe that Dalman although hasn’t walked from what I have been told is not as close to the top

    Is it normal for clubs to have this race to the fishing line between 2/3 potential owners or is this just another bizarre Roland thing?

    I just have a horrible feeling that none of the potential buyers business plans are adding up, when Roland's asking price is factored in to the equation. It's probably true of the Aussies, and I expect it's true of all the others too.

    It's always a gamble, buying a football club, and Roland just has to accept that he lost, and move on. (Alternatives to the phrase 'move on' are available).

    No one tells Roland what to do!
