Reports of 20-30 million for the sale are worrying.
What are the odds that we are not totally rid of Dushitelet if these figures are true? He was meant to be wanting 50 million, the gap is too big, a bit like my hairline.
Maybe he has finally realised 50m is completely unrealistic?
I refuse to believe this is happening. Would’ve been nice to have got it through before tomorrow, as I genuinely think we could’ve had a next to full valley.

Feel like a kid waiting for Christmas Day, we’ve all been through so much depressing shit the last few years, at last we could have something to look forward. Just pray that the Aussie’s know what there doing.

Or is retaining The Valley and / or training ground.
I am building an effigy of Roly to burn early next week when he finally sells, if it comes to nothing I will remove the tape from the shoes and rename it Jim White. Burn the heretic.
We get payed to put em out not set em alight. Extra training for you my friend. 😉

Been said many times that he cannot do that without the agreement of the ex-directors (who have first call on the Valley) or he pays them off. Also the £50m was pure speculation. Most realistic estimates have been in the £30m-£35m ballpark (still too much). Suspect he may have come down a bit or the deal is being structured so that a base sum is paid and the balance dependent on promotion and/or additional money received by the club on the sell-on of certain players, e.g. Gudmundson, Lookman, Gomez and Pope.

Not sure he can have first dibs on sell-on clauses - third party ownership? I could be wrong. Likewise, no buyer would reward the previous owner for success achieved as a result of the buyer's investments.
My guess is that he has taken a haircut on the 'speculated' earlier figure of £50m to stem the flow of money out each month. If he has sold now for £30m he could have sold for the same amount a year ago and be the equivalent of around £40m better off.

By tomorrow. 1400 pages on "sale of Charlton"
1395 pages:fish puns + tangential matters 5 pages: sale of Charlton.
We've been round the houses, We've been round the world, We've been round the Bend. And now like the boomerang we appear to be back to the Aussies.
We've had more folk ITK than a series of Eggheads. We've had more done deals than the king of the Jungle Harry managed at West Ham. We've had more words written than a library full of war and peace.
We've had enough now, sale of Charlton.
Please large lady have a gargle and take to the stage.
Let Roland Duchatelet be History and a new chapter starts at this wonderful old London football club.
I can’t help but think back to the last time we were told it was 48/72 hours away after the potential new owner was seen in a charlton scarf in the directors box. WIOTOS.
If nothing else the last few days have proved that it's surprisingly easy to get back into the habit of not doing any work and sitting on CL all day instead.
Just when I thought I kicked the habit.
I was so close to promotion too. If this drags on for much longer I can wave that goodbye.

Which would indicate that The Valley is part of the deal and the charges rollover.
Would also indicate buyer is an idiot and is happy to pay £20-£30mn for the Club with no control of it's most valuable assets, as charges are over all assets of the Club. Which also means buyer cannot raise any finance against said assets without permission or enter into any Leases on assets. Worry if new buyer keeps charges outstanding as this is their best bargaining tool with Roland to get price down.

Or they have no need to raise finance against the assets.
