It's no coincidence that GM said "it's going to be a difficult 2 weeks" with the 2 weeks ending when the window shuts.
With the situation were in now with players leaving with no budget for replacements. I think there is some sort of agreement between Roland and Aussies for this to be happening for unknown reasons as of yet that will benefit the sale being finalised.
I believe the sale will go through soon after window shuts. Hence "it will be wortwhile". As it will be, thinking in long term.
And the Aussies might be able to have a budget in pace ready in time for loans to come in. Just my personel opinion on things..2 -

Some people. Particularly those that can afford to do so have morals and principles that they won’t have messed with.

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.4 -

But why would the Aussies just accept Duchâtelet trashing the asset that they are about to purchase at great expense? It just doesn’t make any sense.Sambo_1 said:It's no coincidence that GM said "it's going to be a difficult 2 weeks" with the 2 weeks ending when the window shuts.

This is the last week for RD to get money in, other than from fans (good luck with that) or from the new owners paying for the club. It's his last chance to loot the roster - and if he can do so few can doubt that he will. Let this be the final week the clowns run the circus.

We are back in the position where Curbs and Gritt etc started the rebuild.
Maybe that is what the Aussies wanted because it's now so rotten the only way is up.3 -

I dont want to speculate but i will take a guess that maybe the Aussies have agreed to give Roland until end of transfer window to raise as much money as he can from player sales.se9addick said:

To help contribute towards clearing director loans. So it's less money he's having to pay with his own money, to make sale go through.
Just speculation though.2 -
Which is just about what I’ve said, and certainly what I hope. [Edit: not the trashing by RD obviously]Sambo_1 said:It's no coincidence that GM said "it's going to be a difficult 2 weeks" with the 2 weeks ending when the window shuts.

It almost feels like Roland is blowing up the bridges behind his desperate withdrawal.3 -

The fact was we were warned (when he bought the club) in early 2014 what a fucking bastard Dushitelet was. We have certainly seen it for ourselves.25

Bowyer :
"The top, top ones [players] are not really in our budget but they might become in our budget the longer we wait. Do you take a gamble and take a more average player or do you sit it out and hope that you won’t get this player today but in a week’s time you might be able to get him? Obviously for the permanents Thursday is the last day but we’re looking at the bigger picture as well."
So is he expecting the sale to happen 'in a week's time'?
(Already posted this on the Bauer thread, but more relevant here)1 -
The players left including Aribo and BFG aren't worth diddly if your paying £40million for the club. The only assets any "ambitious" buyer would interested in are the ground, the training ground and our golden share. As I have said time and again.0

Unless it means they get the club at a price that they want (and have probably already agreed) - and are confident at getting in free agents and loans by the end of August. My own personal conspiracy theory (and overly optimistic hope) is that Fosu, Vetokele and JFC's injuries aren't as bad as the medical team are saying - its just LB keeping them out of the shop window...!se9addick said:

Why would people with a "5 year plan" be so bothered about any of our current playing staff. In fact if it was me I would want clear title AND no long term liabilities.JamesSeed said:

I agree with this. With the added frisson that if I were one of these almost mythical purchasers in waiting I would watch Duchatelet pay the wages for August, September, October and November at the very least.GlassHalfFull said:

That is reportedly 4 million right there, and as the nights draw in, and the colder weather starts Roland has the power bills to pay.

That makes no sense though, it would be like buying a factory, but letting the previous owner sell some of the vital machinery firstSambo_1 said:

"excluding the aussies" well to be honest mate why the fuck would they be included at the moment the silence is deafening.2

None of us know what the fk is going on at the moment, other than u all trying to take bites out of each other. For me, what will be a tell tale sign - if we dont hear anything by Saturday - is who turns up in the Directors box come Shrewsbury game.2
-
Has anyone considered that the silence is because the NDA is as tight as ever because it's due to be announced?
The silence is definitely deafening but could be very good news
If the deal was dead thrn the NDA would be no longer in force and we'd hear more (wouldn't we?)
(Don't claim to be in the know, just trying to put together the jigsaw that is Charltons Takeover)9 -
