Hold on. So when you say you know something, what you really mean is you don't really know?PragueAddick said:
Hi James. Who told you that, and why, I wonder? I know that it is untrue.JamesSeed said:GM and Aussies still in the hunt, but there’s no one around to deal with them at the moment, apparently. Chaos.
The word fed back from the club about the Aussies is that they lost one of their investors and have not been heard of since. But that too could be disinformation, or a part truth.
Or have I read that wrong??4 -

So basically, RD will not accept any price until he has sold all the saleable players and got back as much of his money he can1

Nope. And I don't know if they plan to return or not, but I hope to find out more about that next week.

Over time they’ve lost several investors - each time Roland moved the goalposts. Can you blame them for pulling out, when they get effed about by Roland?3 -

James would the investors be required to keep pumping in funds once the deal is done or is it a case of pumping in enough funds to last x number of years all up front and then no more funds required?JamesSeed said:

I appreciate if you don't know or can't share but when you say over time they've lost several investors this is what worries me and probably plenty of others about a consortium taking over, is there a possibility that funds will regularly be needed? If so, others may decide to withhold funding causing a cashflow problem in the future?

Over time they have lost investors due to Roland messing them about (imho).2 -
Above my pay grade I’m afraid. I know they have a model that isn’t widely used in English football. No idea if it’s any good or not. Sounds ok in principal.MartinCAFC said:

Initial sums provided by initial investors, but a broader based investor structure built up going forward. Something like that? I think they like the membership model that some European clubs use.
Sorry for waffling.4 -

All I knew about the Aussies up until recently is what you've written on here. The only extra thing I know now is that Charlton say that they have not seen or heard anything from them since they lost one of their consortium.JamesSeed said:

So I just think its a bit odd, what you have been told now. What could it mean? I suppose de Turck could be on holiday but Murray is there for sure, because who else is handling the transfers? There is no CEO. I suppose Murray in turn might say, I can't talk before deadline day but I cannot believe they cannot set up a meeting with either him or de Turck for beginning of next week.0 -
Does seem odd but RD is odd and who knows what set up he’s got, what would Chris Parkes role as club secretary be?PragueAddick said:

BTW I get that Gallen is our recruitment ace but do you believe he has to handle the outward shit too? Like when Boro moved for Dijksteel, he had to field their call and then ask RD what he wants to do?
Dwell on how shit that is for him, if that is indeed how this is set up.
