  • Wonder how easy it is to get another investor at short notice? An add in exchange and mart? webuyanyclub.com? investors r us?
  • I haven't really got involved in this thread, and I'm certainly not "in the know"...

    However, I felt a huge surge of positivity after the Shrewsbury play off game, at the sight of members of the AFL consortium wearing Charlton gear.

    This was compounded by many of those same people at the away leg.

    But now? All that positivity has gone. I don't know what to think. And I feel a little betrayed.

    If he does not buy the club now he is going to look a right prick after parading around in a scarf and showing himself to the fans.
  • Thanks for usual Positivity
  • Too many cooks spoil the broth v Many hands make light work

    Roland is a proven terrible owner v We don't know how the Aussies will be as owners as yet

    I personally wouldn't mind a consortium, but one that is proactive and one that can at least point out that they, or identify that their fellow members are not eligible to get involved in the first place

    Is their anyone clinging on to a hope that the Aussies' bid fails and Roland stays in control?

    Would anyone prefer Roland still to be in charge of the whole club, simply because the Aussies are acting diligently instead of just quickly?

    Who has a preference for continued Roland ownership, over and above a consortium with plans, finance and ambition?

    Just the other place in the shadows... And Sue.

    you mean MacGyver? - Wish I could, but I resigned from Mod Life with a public statement recently.

    Not the classic “spend more time with the family”....we all know what that means...
  • Copied from another thread:


    I also suspect that, if Roland does feck off soon, this will be just the tip of the iceberg in terms of cuts.
    Not sure what it's based on, but another worrying hint.
    @Stu_of_Kunming my typo, should read "if Roland doesn't feck off soon"

    I've edited it out. @Henry Irving

  • So RD holding it up. Shock.
  • RD hasn’t reached agreement with the former directors. If the Aussies insist on clean title, which I’m assured they are, the deal can’t be closed until he does.

    Is the likely result of this that RD will extend the fire sale in order to make the up-front cash required to pay off the ex directors in full?
  • RD hasn’t reached agreement with the former directors. If the Aussies insist on clean title, which I’m assured they are, the deal can’t be closed until he does.

    But i thought he was trying to pay off the directors so that he could lease the Valley & Sparrows Lane to the Aussies? So the Aussies want the friendly debt paid off prior to taking over?

    Is this the only (substantive) thing holding it up at the moment do you know?
  • RD hasn’t reached agreement with the former directors. If the Aussies insist on clean title, which I’m assured they are, the deal can’t be closed until he does.

    So is the deal with former directors, if made (and let's hope so if it's stopping completion), going to confirm the lease of ground and training ground scenario?
  • RD hasn’t reached agreement with the former directors. If the Aussies insist on clean title, which I’m assured they are, the deal can’t be closed until he does.

    You’d think he’d clear this charge just to get this deal done. Nothing makes sense anymore

    That's -7m for him though.

    Did it ever?
  • ESTRAGON: I can't go on like this.
    VLADIMIR: That's what you think.
