Come on everyone lets get back on track and stop picking at each other and just pick at any slivers of info we get.  Any info is welcome.  Even if sometimes we might think a bit comical or repetitive.

I think Prague should hurry up with his further and better particulars to the comments his contact made.  We are waiting with baited breath here @PragueAddick

Meltdown Monday is fake news.

Temultuous Tuesday is where it's at.

I'm looking forward to Wanky Wednesday personally.

We'll all meet up in the Macro car park for that!

We know he has not accepted at least two £30m bids. Does anybody on here think £30m is cheeky? I think £30m is generous and therefore it is ridiculous for him to publicly claim he is desperate to sell the club. We know he is a liar so maybe we shouldn't be too surprised by it however. How much he wants is harder to know as the price seems to vary depending on who you are and when you ask?

Put in 40m and be done with it. 

Put in £77m as Napa said and be done with it.

Can we go halves?

85m

Make it a round £80m

Deal. The club is Big Rob's, by decree of internet forum sale of agreement. 

Any attempt to abandon this deal will be seen as ungentlemanly conduct. 

UNGENTLEMANLY SIR.

You are way too sensitive about fans getting sick of the Aussies JS

Stop taking it so personally. For example, I think they are useless and skint and need to leave it now, but I am not calling you useless, or skint etc etc

I might be useless and skint, but I’m not etc etc! How dare you!

Do we get a wafer with that...?

Personally I don't want a consortium at the club Aussies or not, consortiums are pulled together because one person outright can't afford to do the deal themself or isn't willing to even if they do have the money.

The other problem with consortiums as is being reported are investors who then want out of the consortium what happens then? Would they retain all funds from the sale of a player to cover there costs like RD is doing? And also how would decisions be carried out if nobody had outright control? Sometimes you can have too many decision makers.

I so wanted to LOL James Seed's earlier post when he said another investor has walked away but I didn't out of respect because he only passed on what he was told even if I did laugh when reading his post. It just confirmed that a consortium is not for me Aussies or not, would rather an individual like Dalman buying us.

I don't think Dalman would be the sole owner either.

Consortium or Roland?

I get your point, but this is not a better the devil you know scenario as Roland is just increasing our price week on week.

If a consortium could raise enough cash for a 3-5 year plan with a guarantee of no further investment required then I'd take my chances with a consortium over Roland any day.

But we come back to the money, if it's not there I'd rather wait a bit longer for someone with secure money to buy the club. At least however bad Roland is the money is there and administration isn't going to happen, something I fear could well be a threat with a consortium.

But the price keeps going up. The deluded fool believes he'll make his money back!
