    "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'?

  • 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.

    No, he's not expecting it. He is, like us, hoping.

    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.

  • 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.

    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.
    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.

    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..

    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.
    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.

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

    Orbit might actually be a coincidence.

    Far beyond a joke now.

    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.

    Again, MURRAY WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING
    The same thing he has done for the last 4 years. Sitting by and watching a Belgian maniac systematically trash the club he so loves...

    Read it like sellers may reduce prices to enable sales at last minute. Otherwise they'd miss out.
  • "excluding the aussies" well to be honest mate why the fuck would they be included at the moment the silence is deafening.
  • 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.

    That doesn't mean that they want to sell The Valley.

    Does the 5 year plan not become longer if we go down.

    It certainly won't be RD
  • cafcwill said:

    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)

    Like your thinking, Will !

    If the Aussies wanted the club, they would surely have sorted it now... they are fast becoming time wasters. They have said nothing since that joint statement, if they are struggling to raise the funds to buy the club, then where will they fund the next few years?

    Funny how things change. A few pages back many were agreeing it had fallen through and it would soon be confirmed as off by the club.

    Just another day on the takeover infinity loop.
  • GM’s words to @JamesSeed might just make sense. Those saying it doesn’t cos he’s wrecking the asset.. how much damage can he do in 2 weeks?? Bet he can’t raise as much cash as the Aussies will save on the discounted price.
    And those who say why not leave it til dec/jan...... the Club could be in an irretrievable state by then.
    The Aussies can let RD do his worst then he’s gone and the Aussies sanction a decent level of loanees and free agents to get us through to the January transfer window

    I’m feeling positive

    Can only have 5 in match day squad, if we have not brought in any others would these be enough? considering how well we did with 5 loanees last season where only 2 were good

    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...!
    Trust me, with JFC, it really is as bad as the medical team have said.

    A bit like supermarket sweep then, with the Douchebag running against the clock, filling his grubby little trolley with the highest value assets? I think I'd settle for that if he's gone when the transfer window closes.
