Seems to be totally self contradictory - one the one hand then on the other.
First he says:
“As far as timing is concerned, I did say to our staff down at the training ground that I hoped or thought February was the most likely month" for the club to be sold.
But then says goes on to say why February is the most unlikely time for a sale:
"once the transfer window is closed we have an interesting situation. Charlton and probably most clubs in this division, lose a substantial amount of money each month, so the onus is on Roland to do a deal as soon as possible but the onus isn’t so much on the buyer because they can’t influence the club too much other than relaunching it. January ending does remove one obvious good point to get involved.”
If a takeover was going to go through, now if about when you'd hope it would happen, as you'd want it to go through in time to allow some dealing in the January window which is 4 weeks away...

We’d be a lot closer with a fuller ground. Aren’t current losses £6m per year?
No, they are twice that. Of course it would be better to have more revenue but no realistic increase in gates will make a meaningful change.
Obviously Duchatelet’s pitiful management is a factor in that - losses have ballooned on his watch because of silly decisions - but, for example, a 4,000 increase in average attendances at current prices might yield about £1.5m a year at best - probably less.
Which begs the question, why would you want to own a football club?

That’s what I said?
Is Valley Bob, the same as Sideshow Bob from the Simpsons?

The owner had 45 managers in 16 years, so definitely similarities.

Anyone know who they are?
