    Talksport is reporting that Charlton Athletic will be sold by Monday or Tuesday of next week. The Australian consortium has passed the fit and proper person test.

    Can we get confirmation of that from the EFL?
    Bump

    Me too. Birthday treat from @LiveByTheSword.

    Will be my first home game of the season.

    From the white transcript below. Why is Monday and Tuesday so crucial?

    He's gonna look a right dick if it doesnt go through.

    One last push
  • If Roland is buying the debt from the ex directors maybe speaking to them would be the first step

    So unless that happens I’d say the charge is rolling on not being purchased

    I hope you're ready with a 'Sale Confirmed' edit for the title. It would be awful* if another thread came along and stole the glory.

    If only you could ask somebody...
    There ain’t that many of them I will open the black book and go through the list

    Never a good match to be in the posh seats

    Embrace change don’t resist it that’s what a wise old bottle of wine once told me

    Perhaps you’re right but all he has to do is pay it. It’s the buyer who has to be satisfied it has been discharged. If he pays full whack there’s nothing to discuss. Similarly if it’s rolled over they don’t have to be consulted. Anyway, they could always ask RM tomorrow...

    Ex Directors agreed a deal then? @Davidsmith

    They have not been contacted I am told.
    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.
    But with a desperate seller like Roland wouldn't you make him pay off those Loans as part of the deal, even if you are a Billionaire you want clean title to the thing you are purchasing.
    At least two other buyers wanted clean title,that's why Roland presented a low ball bid to Ex Directors and got told to go forth, in fact one was probably the Aussies.
    Maybe the Aussies have spent 6 months trying to negotiate this and have decided to bite the bullet and by the club

    @JimWhite round up

    - People brokering the deal have said that club will change hands Monday. (Australians)

    - Money is there and been confirmed

    - Thought to be in the region of 20-30 million

    - 'I know some charlton fans are sceptical but I’m on the money with this one'

    Are you doucher in disguise ? he assured us weeks/months/years ago he would be the first to let us know
    can't confirm yet but lets just say that I've swung into the 'this could well be imminent' group
    From first to know to last to know :wink:

    All rumours at the moment - will let u know when something concrete happens!!!! Just hope we get a good crowd tomorrow now

  • I really hope I'm wrong but you could interpret that transcript as not having any new info
