  • Feck this thread... Can we please wipe all mentions of takeovers?
  • Wasn’t Airman suggesting that the middle of July was “the deadline” ? I suspect we have another ten days before we here anything positive or otherwise.

    He suggested the second week of July is the deadline to complete the deal.
  • "time ---ticking away the hours that make up those dark days"

    and the lingering death that is RDs ownership of our club goes on.

    Last night was told that there was yet another rumour being circulated that the Aussies had ‘formally pulled out’.

    Texted my contact and received a reply confirming that they haven’t.

    Yet again, I believed a rumour for 10 nerve wracking minutes. Where are they coming from? Getting on my nerves!

    Both sides have said the latest story is not true.
    Gotta be Roli Leaks trying to draw in other interest still?
  • Death by a thousand (and 49) thread pages... ... .. .

    Are we to presume that the mid July deadline is accepted by both parties and both are working towards that end ?

    The deadline stuff came from the Belgian end only but the timing appears realistic at this stage.
    Do you have any sort of info on where things are at airman? I know their was some hints of positive news a couple of weeks back regarding Aussies finding new backing
  • It’s really about time all concerned came out and said what the hell is going on. Delay after delay, 4 weeks to the season starts and nothing is in place, except Bowyer & Jackson.
  • The Aussies are negotiating with the wrong Roland, that's why he is so stoney faced and won't budge! And clearly the price to buy him out is nothing like being banded around. Much more realistic!

    The club statement was just over 2 weeks ago. How often should the club say talks are ongoing? Many said that statement was pointless.

    Well if they haven't pulled out what's holding things up now.
    If a price has been agreed and new investors found surely the legal teams from both sides could sort something out.
    I'm thinking it's not happening.
    Can’t say I blame you.

    But what is happening, I suspect, is some stuff that is only being sorted because the Aussies have spent so much already that they don’t want to pull out at the final (very challenging) hurdle. If they did, I’m not sure anyone else is going to get involved by the sounds of it.
    Wouldn't this mystery problem only serve to weaken the Douchebag's position though? Surely he has to keep the Aussies sweet in order to off load, especially if it is acknowledged that no one else would be interested.

    Exactly was a completely pointless statement because it told us nothing that we didn’t know before.

    Look. I’m going on holiday next week and I’ve still got my (now out of date) Pot Noodle, Red Bull and champagne ready to celebrate the great day. I don’t want to cart that lot through the airport on the off chance the takeover happens while I’m abroad. So if Roland could just shave £7m of his price and let the Aussies sort out the ex directors so the deal can be announced in the next few days, I would be much obliged.
  • Moneys too tight to mention = Simply Red
  • It’s my birthday tomorrow... fingers crossed!!!!

    I don't know the business plan of the Aussies and how long they can stand the insane losses that a League One Charlton makes but surely it's getting to the point, with the season so close now and other teams executing their transfer plans, that it's going to be difficult for us to achieve anything next season?

    Like a faithful disciple of Slade I've been patient but I'm becoming increasingly worried about this deal and I'm sceptical that it will be the happily ever after that we so desperately want (if it happens at all).

    I lumped on at 11/1 for us to win the title. This is on the assumption that life sometimes does the complete opposite to what you think!
