I don't think the Aussies are wasting time. More likely they have made their offer and are sticking with it. Question is will RD get fed up with all the abuse he gets from us and the media, plus having to pay the bills. After next week he will be unable to sell the players, until January. Maybe the twat will finally give up and sell next week.
It's only our window that closes next week, he can flog players to Europe for all of August.
Agreed, but only if the players want to go, presumably?
Unfortunately Roland has history with forcing players to leave
Stephen Dafour - Standard to Porto - He didn't want to go, Roland wanted the money and told him he'd never player for standard again if he didn't leave Yann Kermorgant - CAFC to Bournemouth - We all know about this one Diego Poyet - CAFC to Standard - was offered a CAFC contract but told he'd be loaned out straight away to Standard
I'd be interested to see who gets 'transferred' to Sint Truiden (as i type this i realised that Roland sold them last year)
Michael Morrison too.
Didn't he turn down a move to a Romanian club?
I'd completely forgotten about this one, but this is another prime example
there was also trying to flog Solly off on loan to Gillingham (however this was mainly Katrien i think)
Alisher Usmanov has accepted defeat in his battle for control of the gooners with septic Stan Kroenke, much to the chagrin of many in North London. He'll have a fresh £550M sloshing about for new investments. Perhaps Everton, his good chum and long time associate Moshiri would be the obvious destination if AU wants to stay in premier league football. If he's slightly more patient, he could give his old adversary a much bloodier nose by rejuvenating the London team from the gooners' ancestral home. Anybody got AU's phone number? He'll only need some pocket change to get things started in SE7, a quick thumb through his contacts book and his next London football project will be up and running by the New Year.

Yann wasn't forced out, he was offered a crap deal and instead chose the better one from Bournemouth, If nothing else, he could have stayed with us until the summer if he really didn't want to move. There's no way now that a player could be forced to move abroad, if he tried to do that to Aribo or Bauer they'd just laugh in his face and take the wages until their contracts ran out anyway in a year's time
I have just emailed the EFL maybe I can suggest that if enough of us do this and continue to do so then maybe - just maybe they will do some lobbying. This will onl occur if enough of us do so.
This is what I emailed to them, I will let you know what response i get back.
Dear Sir/ Madam
I would like to enquire why there does not seem to be any interest from the EFL regarding the plight of my beloved club Charlton Athletic, a once proud club now being owned by one of the most inept owners ever seen in English professional football.
I am sure you are aware (if you are not then I truly despair) that at this moment the club does not have:-
A Chief Executive Officer A manager, only a caretaker manager. No Chairman No Board Members Only five players on the bench vs Sunderland last Saturday Reports that bottled water being stopped for training other than for 1st team squad.
This owner has seen season ticket sales fall from 17,000 to 5,000 in five seasons and has overseen a club debt that has risen to some £65 million.
So my point is how can Mr. Duchelet be considered a fit and proper person to be an owner of a Football League Club.
I look forward to your explanation with great anticipation.
As far as I am concerned along with thousands of Charlton supporters the EFL is in dereliction of its duties to Charlton supporters.
I sent them an email with very similar wording this morning, willie, responding to their promo message for the launch of the new season. It didn't bounce, but not holding breath for reply!

With you permission can I copy and paste your letter, it has a lot less swear words in than mine?
There is no actal 'deadline', but the comment 'a couple of difficult weeks ahead' etc was made two weeks ago today. I'm clinging on to the hope that something might happen this week, but of course it probably won't @Goonerhater
I don't think the Aussies are wasting time. More likely they have made their offer and are sticking with it. Question is will RD get fed up with all the abuse he gets from us and the media, plus having to pay the bills. After next week he will be unable to sell the players, until January. Maybe the twat will finally give up and sell next week.
I very much doubt that Roland gives a toss about what we say on an insignificant (to most people) forum about how he runs our club. You can insult him (verbally and in print) till the cows come home. Like most of his ilk he has a skin as thick as a Tiger tank so it's a pointless exercise.
At the expense of repeating myself......he’s fundamentally a sociopath.

Im sure i read Something he said recently regarding his tenure in football was that social media platforms play a big part in the football philosophy and he found that interesting.
Wouldn't mind betting that social media is now his number one obsession and he is planning some mad brained money making idea on that front. I would suggest that he secretly skulks in the background of this forum having a little chuckle to himself whilst helping him to find little ways to twist the knife.

I thought there was more to the Usmanov rumours than just that ‘sighting’ could be wrong though. I’ve heard it a few times.
What about a dream scenario - Usmanov has always been on the investment side of things, because the Arsenal deal has been mooted for a while. Maybe that deal has been taking a little longer. Paperwork was submitted to EFL with Usmanov named, knowing he's not out of Arsnal yet, but will be. Basically it's all good to go ready but 'rejected' until dual interest is settled. RD knows this too and technically while the money isn't there, it will be. To use the house buying, we're in a chain of sale. So all talk of a secondary interest etc can be true, because it can always fall through or be gazumped, but likelihood all are agreed to just wait. But that takes time. It can't be talked about because of both NDA on us AND Arsenal. So this difficult two weeks is A) they have been aware it'll be happening but still waiting for the AFC shares sale to be agreed and made public. Aussies aware we're all getting twitchy but they can't do anything about it. C) RD is minimising his outlays, now it's unlikely there will be any major sales like a Lookman or Konsa now. D) The transfer deadline is annoyingly close by coincidence, so whereas they expected this to be done early 2018 or after the playoffs, they have been waiting for what they have always know was likely to happen. Just, like us they have been waiting longer than expected. Because it's not just been their business plans that have been an influence, also Arsenal. Maybe Usmanov would like the idea of being more influencal than he is at Arsenal, and for less outlay. All without 'moving' from London. I'm obviously guessing. But hey, a man can dream.....
