FFS. Both sides have stated tbat the price has been agreed. The £7m loans were known b4 they made their statements. Only repayable in the Prem. Costing £1-2m to repay earlier than the 5 year plan to top flight. This issue is not a deal breaker unless someone ITK says it is. Stop speculating on stuff with no logical basis.
So why was an offer finally made in June 2018?
Source? What does it matter when the bid was made? I suspect much before June, Charlton scarf time.
It was made following the sale of Konsa. My source is multiple ex-directors.

So Muir spent over a million on DD and only made a bid for the Addicks in June? Do us a favour Rick. And what about the £7m that you keep saying is an issue. Did it only come to light after the bid in JUNE? Utter bollocks.
I suspect that when the consortium was set up someone, possibly Muir, laid down some ground rules. I suspect obtaining 'clean title' was one of them. So not easy to skip round issues like directors' loans, or other baggage from the past.

The loans are what you were discussing and what I responded on. I’ve said above that the issue will always have been known about by any serious bidder. Hence the question - why was no attempt made to address it (with an offer of 25%) until June 2018? Why did it happen then? Something triggered it.

Wrong it was June and if you recall I posted they had till the 24th to make their decision
I refuse to believe Roland didn’t know about them I reckon he just thought the next owners should he sell would do the same as him and not do anything until the club reached the prem
Agree with @clem_snide I don’t live locally any more but I’m back this weekend visiting family. We drove past The Valley earlier and it was such a sad sight. Or maybe, feeling. The ground still fills me with pride. But....How has it been allowed for our club to be treated like this? We’re being left to die and that cannot be acceptable for any club, let alone one with our history. If the Aussies are playing a waiting game then maybe they should fk off and buy some other club. One that isn’t as big as us. If they’re not and it’s RD running us into the ground, then he is pure evil. But either way, it’s time the record was put straight. And not in some bullshit statement or half arsed meeting.

The ‘bid’ in June was by RD to pay off the ex directors loans not a bid by the Aussies to buy the Club.

This. I expect RD naively thought that he could simply pass the baton on (geddit ?) as the £7m is only fully repaid when in the Prem, at which time it is a drop in the ocean. If I was one of the ex-directors I would be taking my money now, even at 25%, because I seriously think we have no chance if getting into the Prem within the next 10-15 years, at which time their £500k would have been greatly eroded by inflation etc.
I'm done with the Aussies now anyway. As previous posters have said, their spiel of wanting to buy the club because of its great fan base & Muir/GM lording it at the play off games has proved to be just rhetoric. If they really want to get the fans back onside they are going completely the wrong way about it. Actions speak louder than words. In my eyes they are even worse than RD. At least with him we know he doesn't give a shit & we are only 2% of his empire.

Worse than RD? Behave. Just because they have the money, Muir alone does, doesn’t mean they should pay whatever RD wants. I don’t know the in’s and out’s of all this, only those directly involved do, others are being told half truths at best being lied to at worst, but according to you the Aussies should suck it up and pay what he wants. Why should they pay for his mistakes? He’s the idiot in all this. After all he bought the Club without doing proper DD, he didn’t even know about the Director loans until much later and yet the Aussies are worse than RD?

We've already got the conspiracy theories - only with the non-existent British bid instead.
Until they surface in some form or another I won't believe that bid even exists or goes beyond Murray scrambling to put a consortium together.

Yep. Refusing to be the ones shelling out an extra seven million pounds because RD fucked up. He dug this hole he has to climb out of it. The consortium of the clearly plans further ahead than this season coming, one poor season is less of a concern from a business perspective than paying off RD's mistakes when now we're in for a tough season no matter what.

I knew someone had hacked your account when you posted something positive last week about us signing Pratley. The real golfie is back.
I mean seriously, the way everyone talks as if the Aussies are gonna make money out of our club fffs We have always been one of the cheapest football clubs to watch and how many clubs are making money in the prem regularly ? Massive clubs like Villa , Sunderland have monster debt and left it recently and Bolton left it in monster debt . I genuinely believe unless you do an Oyston and spend fuck all when up there you’ll be hard pushed to make anything with the joke costs and salaries of players . Yet here we are with fans dismissing them for not just pissing away another £7m on the charity project of Charlton Athletic Football Club , yes we are in need of generous help to keep us going . To get to the Prem will more than likely cost a fortune look at some of the dough being spent to get there , what did Wolves spend to get up there . Yet we have fans saying that they should just spunk more money to that twat who has owned us cos of our special fan base , fuck off look at our derisory away followings , yes we have a history of some superb work to get us back home and then the growth from the return to The Valley but don’t make out we are super human and worthy of spunking dough on . Anyone who is willing to buy us will need a miracle to make dough , as long as they don’t take the piss and do within reason their best to make us competitive at a decent level I’ll be more than happy The weirdness of our fans knows no bounds . Good luck to anyone buying us because we will cost you a lot of money
Comments
We have prospective owners who will only purchase with a clean title and will not pay off ex directors.
We have 6 ex-directors who are unlikely to accept a payoff less than 100% because they hate Murray / don't trust duche or just want their money back.
And then we have Murray!
Meanwhile the club is being run into the ground.
It's a sign everybody...it's gonna happen!!!
And I'm pretty sure the bid was made before June.
I refuse to believe Roland didn’t know about them I reckon he just thought the next owners should he sell would do the same as him and not do anything until the club reached the prem

But....How has it been allowed for our club to be treated like this?
We’re being left to die and that cannot be acceptable for any club, let alone one with our history.
If the Aussies are playing a waiting game then maybe they should fk off and buy some other club. One that isn’t as big as us.
If they’re not and it’s RD running us into the ground, then he is pure evil.
But either way, it’s time the record was put straight. And not in some bullshit statement or half arsed meeting.

Until they surface in some form or another I won't believe that bid even exists or goes beyond Murray scrambling to put a consortium together.
I understand wanting a fresh start but surely there is some sort of wiggle room here...
But we should stay calm, because the Aussies are out there somewhere, also watching the clubs further decline
I assume you have information that potentially you don't feel able to make public yet but what is your belief as to likelihood of this being resolved soon?
The speculation on who is responsible for current delays is just that by the rest of us but do you expect this to be complete ?
We have always been one of the cheapest football clubs to watch and how many clubs are making money in the prem regularly ?
Massive clubs like Villa , Sunderland have monster debt and left it recently and Bolton left it in monster debt .
I genuinely believe unless you do an Oyston and spend fuck all when up there you’ll be hard pushed to make anything with the joke costs and salaries of players .
Yet here we are with fans dismissing them for not just pissing away another £7m on the charity project of Charlton Athletic Football Club , yes we are in need of generous help to keep us going .
To get to the Prem will more than likely cost a fortune look at some of the dough being spent to get there , what did Wolves spend to get up there .
Yet we have fans saying that they should just spunk more money to that twat who has owned us cos of our special fan base , fuck off look at our derisory away followings , yes we have a history of some superb work to get us back home and then the growth from the return to The Valley but don’t make out we are super human and worthy of spunking dough on .
Anyone who is willing to buy us will need a miracle to make dough , as long as they don’t take the piss and do within reason their best to make us competitive at a decent level I’ll be more than happy
The weirdness of our fans knows no bounds .
Good luck to anyone buying us because we will cost you a lot of money
