Can't believe there ain't more football loving rich bastards who think we're worth a punt at double the value, plus extras and with no clean title
My point was really that I thought there'd be at least one more interested party who was at least at the same stage as the Aussies.
No evidence that there is. No one can confirm for example that "the Saudis" have gone through the ODT. Redhenry does not know if they have. Another who might shed light on this is @Addickted. His source had quite a lot to say about the Aussie ODT, which seems to have been confirmed, but I wonder if he gave any indication that another party did an ODT too?
Charleton, a village famous, or rather infamous for the yearly collected rabble of mad-people, at Horn-Fair; the rudeness of which I cannot but think, is such as ought to be suppressed, and indeed in a civiliz’d well govern’d nation, it may well be said to be unsufferable. The mob indeed at that time take all kinds of liberties, and the women are especially impudent for that day; as if it was a day that justify’d the giving themselves a loose to all manner of indecency and immodesty, without any reproach, or without suffering the censure which such behaviour would deserve at another time.

That's why his great,great,great great, great grandson signed for West Ham.
So he reportedly has at least two offers on the table that amount to significantly more than he paid for the club. At that time we were in a higher division, had far better players and about twice as many fans attended matches. In what business world does the amount of money you have lost during your failure raise the value of your product? If he sells the damaged Charlton for more than he paid for it, surely he can leave with some pride. I'd say that was impressive salesmanship!
I'd like somebody to put that to him and hear his justification for damaging a product and doubling its value!
