Can’t believe he lives in a flat. With all the money he’s stolen from our club, you think he would have upgraded to a semi!
Have you not heard the story about the dishwasher (which he himself told to a Belgian magazine)? He does not own one, on the basis that washing the after dinner dishes together gives him "quality time" with his wife. The magazine did not ask his wife about the quality time she spends washing the breakfast and lunch dishes while he is out running football clubs into the ground.
He's also been quoted as saying that he enjoys peeling potatoes
That's a mistranslation. 'Peeling the old potato' = 'pulling oneself off'
RD wants to save face i.e. avoid the possibility of new owners immediately getting the club promoted (something he wasn't able to do). So delays the sale until it is very hard for the new owners to muster a campaign that gets us promoted. That way he can say in his warped little world - " See they couldn't find success either"
Buried in this theory is a skerrick of optimism...optimism that sale is imminent.
Like the word skerrick, never heard it before, but sounds just right (especially in antipodean accents).
skerrick noun AUSTRALIAN/NZ informal the smallest bit.
From the Cornish language ..... and came across to Australia with the multitude of Cornish miners who emigrated there in the 19th century.

Whilst we struggle to find someone to buy our entire club for 35-40m, i see Palace are reportedly about to get 75m for Zaha as Chelsea look to make a move this week.

£75M today but certain relegation from the Premier League in May costing hundreds of million in lost revenue sounds like RD style logic!

Just wanted to say that I am not a person to ask about ROT campaign tactics, as I am just a supporter.
But I am distressed to read in the relevant thread that only 39 people have so far joined ROT. These brilliant enterprising Charlton fans are working on a campaign that is in our best traditions, and spending huge amounts of their personal money taking that campaign to a foreign country, and only 39 of us can be arsed to support them?
Come on people, lets stop rowing with each other and get behind people who are actually doing something positive.

nothing will be announced/rumoured today as the Belgian bloke (LTT or something) isn't in the country till tomorrow.
Stand down everyone

Yup. Tuesday to Thursday for talks.
Isn’t he supposed to be here Tue to Thurs to be “ running the club” as defacto COO. He’ll presumably have to talk to somebody in 3 days at the office but what’s to say they’ll be anybody of significance in takeover negotiations? If he’s talking business with outsiders, my money’s on the next employers of JA & BFG.

Don't think this was anything to do with ROT. Just an individual delivering a message on behalf of @blackpool72

Why would you buy it as soon as the transfer window shuts, might as well tell him to stick it and come back in november/December and save yourself £3/4m in running cost?
Would you buy a holiday property in September if you knew you could by it for the same price just before next summers peak season?
If it was in desperate need of redecorating, the plumbing and electricity needed to be sorted out and the roof was leaking, why would you leave it until the start of the holiday season, when it would be worse, instead of starting remedial work as soon as possible?
But all the trades men take 3 months off after peek season :-)

@PragueAddick I have not joined or contributed because I dont recall (maybe my fault) reading about their aims,objectives,strategies etc. I think I am trying to say that their communications campaign has been lacking. With more information, I would be able to make a more informed decision.
Why would any manager at this level walk away from any job.....other than for reasons of health or similar.
LB may love the club.....but at the end of the day it's a job. If he was offered the Millwall job on a fair whack of wedge - he'd take it I'm sure.
Some people. Particularly those that can afford to do so have morals and principles that they won’t have messed with. I’m guessing LB is not the man to take being undermined very well.
Aussie silence is deafening. If They thought this was going to go through surely they would let a bit of positive information out. As it is we are going down the tubes with Roland selling anything not nailed down
RE: Bowyer walking I think it depends on his connection with the club
Him and Jackson are probably more aware of how fucked we are than the fans, it might not do them or their reputations any good by staying yet if they have a real affinity with the club (which I think they do), their aim will probably be keeping us from well and truly sinking
If Bowyer / Jackson go then we really should be worried as dont think there is anyone else at the club who cares (Euell surely doesnt want to be involved with the First Team), means the new man coming in will be a proper Roland stooge, someone who isnt going to care about results and will barely go through the motions of taking charge
Is it not about time the likes of Maurice Hatter ,Michael Grade,Keith Peacock, and whoever else is, or has been involved in a serious capacity over the years speaks publicly about the despicable state of affairs going on at this club.

I said the other day they might just as well put out a statement saying they’ve pulled out just to put us out of our misery.

Why would they? Every time they've made an official statement, or leaked anything substantial, they've been royally bitten in the posterior. Every time they thought they had a done deal Rolly moved the goal posts or something came up to delay things.

My guess if Bowyer decided to walk is that Jackson would pick up the pieces. He’s 100% committed and I do think would rather stay and do as much as he could to salvage something. I think LB might be a touch more volatile.
