Wasn’t Duchâtelet taking lower bids for players for cash? Entirely possible he’ll take X for the club, but a lower price with future add ons for promotion etc. He clearly has never been in a hurry to sell. He probably enjoys making the Aussies and the Brits squirm.

Douchebag's attitude to player sales is skewed by his delusion that players are interchangeable e.g. Konsa sold = no problem cos Naby is back, or Reza for Yann K! Douchebag's attitude to selling the club is skewed by his delusional fuckwittery, supreme arrogance and absolute ignorance of how football clubs operate, despite 7 or more years ownership of up to 6 clubs in 5 countries.
Wednesday's meeting was attended by members of the Fans' Forum, club staff and Lieven De Turck (LDT), who is representing the club in takeover talks. LDT provided an update at the meeting and notes from this can be found here. Following the update, there was a Q&A session, notes from this session are below. The notes were produced by the club and approved by fan representatives who attended the meeting.
Notes
LDT confirmed for all the parties that have signed NDAs, the price is within a certain range. He said the range is because of negotiation, how they intend to pay, instalments, promotion bonds and the currency and other potential factors.
He was asked if suitability of the owners was important. LDT said prospective owners have to show good will that there is a future for Charlton Athletic.
LDT was asked if he had turned down a higher offer than the one agreed with the Australians, he said he hadn’t.
LDT was asked if he had met a group just before Christmas and if he had quoted a price over £70m. LDT said he had seen the rumours and he does not respond to rumours. LDT said he met with several parties but that no new NDA was signed before Christmas. He said that sensitive information (such as price) is communicated after an NDA is signed. LDT asked for the name of the party mentioned so he can reply.
LDT said Roland Duchatelet (RD) is willing to sell. He said the football is good. He said the club is in better financial condition than one year ago. He said January is a good time for a new buyer as they have a squad and a transfer window to operate.
LDT said as long as the deal is not completed, the club is run in the best possible means. Lee Bowyer (LB), Steve Gallen (SG) and Roland Duchatelet (RD) know what they need for the squad. At the moment they want a left back (since the meeting the club have completed the signing of left back Ben Purrington). He said LB and SG know what budget they have.
He was asked how much longer RD is prepared to fund the losses? LDT said RD is funding the club and he will do that as long as it is needed. LDT said one of his tasks is to let RD know when money is needed to ensure salaries, suppliers etc. are paid.
LDT was asked as the Australians had agreed a price but not delivered, if that is preventing other buyers getting involved at a cheaper price. LDT said that he has told the Australians that if/when they do takeover, they will have to explain why it took so long to takeover.
LDT was asked if 22 months after the first leak of Australian involvement, if there were serious doubts about their credibility as they have not completed a deal. LDT said he has only been at the club since last January and he does not have doubts about the group’s credibility.
LDT was asked about the range of prices. He was asked if someone comes in tomorrow, ready to deliver immediately at a lower price what would happen. LDT said he would go to RD.
LDT was asked why the Australians hadn’t progressed the deal if they thought the second party was close. LDT said he had said to them before “the second party is behind, hurry up”. LDT said “Maybe I’m not convincing enough”. Some of the Fans’ Forum questioned whether the second party existed.
One of the group mentioned that the fans had heard at takeover was imminent so much and are frustrated. LDT said as long as the takeover is not completed, he’s not happy.
LDT said the intensity is higher, going into January, with the parties involved, because they want to have an influence on squad building.
LDT was asked if Lee Bowyer is kept updated on the takeover. He said when something important happens LB will know.
LDT was asked if Richard Murray (RM) was part of the British group. LDT said RM knows them but he’s not involved.
LDT was asked if there were any issues with ex-director loans in the deals. He said there are no issues holding up the sale with the ex-director loans. He said RD bought the club with the loans in place, so it is perfectly possible to buy the club with that in place and the club can be sold with those in place.
LDT was asked about players out of contract. He said SG is looking after that. He said SG to attend for next FF.

Love it. Absolute mastery of the English language. And makes sense too.
LDT was asked if he had met a group just before Christmas and if he had quoted a price over £70m. LDT said he had seen the rumours and he does not respond to rumours. LDT said he met with several parties but that no new NDA was signed before Christmas. He said that sensitive information (such as price) is communicated after an NDA is signed. LDT asked for the name of the party mentioned so he can reply.
He did deny, after me asking 5 or 6 times, that events described or anything like them had taken place.
Otherwise on first read that is a far summary of what was said and I think tallies with my report.

I think the old Aussie package was shite but the new one with the new investment is probably a lot better and more likely in its current form , according to all the noises more likely to get over the line (not first but seems to have changed a bit ) which means there’s probably a lot more bunce and football know how involved with the deal , this has to be good for us long term and maybe could be the better solution of the two
The British one has me thinking and I can’t remember who said it but they are just as culpable as the old Aussie bid if they’ve been around for just as long why haven’t they completed are they just dicking around as well so many questions still unanswered on what is today the third time we have supposed to have had news
I don't believe the British one is serious - probably just there to try to push the Aussies. It makes sense one might be dragging their feet, but two! Can't see it.
Not sure why price needs to be sensitive. Things that are being sold have a price!

No doubt he should not have made the denial when pressed and they are now ensuring that the official version of events eradicates that faux pas. I bet he's had his arse kicked by Uncle Roly.

Roland.
I don’t agree there had to be more to it
The old Aussie deal was not funded correctly (has no money) trust me I know that and it’s been proven because they never completed so it’s old hat
The new one we are led to believe has the money ( I believe that ) hence its now moving along again
The British one has to have had its own complex’s and complications it has to have had otherwise it would’ve completed in the time it took the aussies to get their shit together
Rolands a cnut we all know it we all know there’s blame to be attributed there
I don’t believe for 1 min and never did that the amount he wants is 50 mil
I was in a room where RM and others were when someone who was serious about bringing a consortium to the table and the number 50 mil was mentioned and all laughed to a man so it was not a serious figure but a conversation starting point
I reckon that all parties have agreed a fee between 30-40 mil
But he wants to sell and the price HAS been Agreed with both parties and had been agreed last year I don’t doubt that at all
So it’s not price and it’s not to be squared solely at the door of RD with any certainty so imo
Both bids have lacked something and had their own issues
Hopefully these are now nearly resolved and something can happen soon

I think that's the most positivity we've heard from you for a long time, nla.
That, alone, gives me a great deal of hope.

If you have a good source that gives you reason to have more faith that these 'new' Aussies have funds hat the old one didn't, then I wonder why you think that these new Aussies have not moved to submit all the required paperwork to the EFL?
the importance of the question is this: even if they submit the papers on Monday, there is not a cat in hell's chance the deal will go through before the transfer window closes. There is no reason why the EFL will fast track such an application. They've got 71 other clubs' matters to take care of.

I am feeling positive FF not just with this but I think things are changing and turning , I said it last week that dates and timings are ridiculous things to attribute to this and people really shouldn’t listen to them as they 99x out of 100 will not happen in the time scale
But that doesn’t mean that things won’t happen
Jim white was foolish to be duped into time scales

Agreed, Rolands price is definitely a problem but there is a problem with the Aussies. The fact LDT has told the Aussies they need to put a statement out as to why it has taken so long, smacks of him knowing it's down to them for the large part. He wouldn't tell them to put a statement out if he knew the whole reason for the hold up was solely on Roland.

The deal can be announced "subject to EFL approval" on Monday or sooner if the parties agree to it.
I don't think it will be done this window but that is not based on any hard evidence
@PragueAddick I don’t know why and I don’t even know if anything is closer than it was 12 months ago just maybe they have got a renewed ability to progress in the future
LDT was asked if he had met a group just before Christmas and if he had quoted a price over £70m. LDT said he had seen the rumours and he does not respond to rumours. LDT said he met with several parties but that no new NDA was signed before Christmas. He said that sensitive information (such as price) is communicated after an NDA is signed. LDT asked for the name of the party mentioned so he can reply.
He did deny, after me asking 5 or 6 times, that events described or anything like them had taken place.
Otherwise on first read that is a far summary of what was said and I think tallies with my report.
Thought it was really vital to get this done in time to do business in the transfer window, but Bowyer and Gallen have done so well, I don't think it matters as much as I did.
I didn't say there was a link to us, just that he if he's aware of what's going on with Newcastle, might he know more about Charlton but @Chizz says not.
I thought you were referring to Charlton's takeover. I am sure Mark Kleinman knows a lot about what's going on at Newcastle, particularly with regards to Mike Ashley and Debenhams. I just don't think he would know a lot about what our idiotic owner is up to. And I only think that because, when I asked him if he knew what was going on, his reply was pretty clear: "I wish I did".

No surprise that he won’t put the lie in writing.
So we’re still being lied to by Duchatelet and his lackies. This one point that @Airman Brown highlights throws into doubt pretty much everything we are being led to believe.
I take comfort from @nth london addick and his recent posts but if we’re still being led down the garden path I do wonder where we are currently at.
Thought it was really vital to get this done in time to do business in the transfer window, but Bowyer and Gallen have done so well, I don't think it matters as much as I did.
The next target is to get through the transfer window with no further damage. If a striker is signed too, all the better.

You know how he normally works get a few cheap half decent loan signings in, before flogging off the family silver.

Not sure why price needs to be sensitive. Things that are being sold have a price!
So D, is your change of view on the Aussies a hunch or based on something you've been told?
I still think the reason the Brits and Aussies haven't closed the deal is the terms/price.
Finally, what happens first - the takeover or you get your van, and our keys back. We need those keys to protect valuable items like these.
The old Aussie deal was not funded correctly (has no money) trust me I know that and it’s been proven because they never completed so it’s old hat
The new one we are led to believe has the money ( I believe that ) hence its now moving along again
The British one has to have had its own complex’s and complications it has to have had otherwise it would’ve completed in the time it took the aussies to get their shit together
Rolands a cnut we all know it we all know there’s blame to be attributed there
I don’t believe for 1 min and never did that the amount he wants is 50 mil

I reckon that all parties have agreed a fee between 30-40 mil
But he wants to sell and the price HAS been Agreed with both parties and had been agreed last year I don’t doubt that at all
So it’s not price and it’s not to be squared solely at the door of RD with any certainty so imo
Both bids have lacked something and had their own issues
Hopefully these are now nearly resolved and something can happen soon
Hopefully that bloody van will be back soon trust me I miss it more than you
Sometimes opinions can change based on many things
That, alone, gives me a great deal of hope.
Reminds me of something as teenagers with their virginity intact, we used to joke....
Whatever else you lose, don't lose hope.
I'm sure you miss it more than we do the key. Those bloody lids are so heavy you could break your wrist lifting them.

I don't think it will be done this window but that is not based on any hard evidence
and to @AFKABartram and @sillav nitram you'll never gag #teamWIOTOS

So we’re still being lied to by Duchatelet and his lackies. This one point that @Airman Brown highlights throws into doubt pretty much everything we are being led to believe.
I take comfort from @nth london addick and his recent posts but if we’re still being led down the garden path I do wonder where we are currently at.
If a striker is signed too, all the better.
