Page 1499...1500 on the horizon...must mean something!
Yep all it will mean is it's the start of the next horizon...I'm going for page 1777,but hoping we will be sole'd by then...
I'm going for page 1566, why? because we've have had very noteable events on a year ending 66 and here's a sample; 1066 William the Corncurer invaded these Isles, 1666 Great Fire of London and 1966 Championms of the World, I rest my case.
1976 spell checkers were invented
Corncurer was a play on words Championms was the wine at lunchtime
Quite a few posters on here over the last 1500 pages have claimed to be in the know. I do not for one minute believe they would deliberately post stuff without being told something. The problem is that only one person knows when this club will be sold and that is Roland. As he does not post on here I shall wait until it's on the official site. That does not mean I don't appreciated what people in the know are prepared to share because I still hang on to any sign that Shitweasel is leaving. In the meantime Just sell You all know the rest.
Not without a buyer he doesn’t.
Buyers are two a penny, how many have we got now?
Plenty of interested parties, no buyers so far - even after one of them agreed the deal and lodged it with the EFL. Unless people think their failure to complete is entirely down to RD, he isn’t in control.

The Grant sale is a massive sign (to me anyway) that the takeover is still far away
We're in the best position in years to get promotion, with a good team. Roland decides to sell one of the reasons we're up there. Classic Roland.
I'm still #TeamWIOTOS but I don't see it happening until the summer at the earliest.
Oh well
Decides to sell? What do you expect him to do....quadruple Karlan's salary? Or watch him walk away on a free at the end of the season? Really it's a no brainer for our Belgian hero.

Of course RD was going to sell him. However it's not the sale that's hard to take, It's because Grant almost certainly won't be adequately replaced. Surely it would only be a small gamble to give LB some of the fee to get 1 or 2 quality replacements to get us into the Championship. Shrewd bussiness man, or stubborn old fool?

On the page 2525, if Charlton fans are still alive If Katrien had survived, they may find On the page 3535 Roland ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lie Everything you think, do and say Is in the bull you took today On the page 4545 You ain't gonna need your eyes won't need your brain You won't find a thing to believe Nobody's gonna buy our club On the page 5555 Your scarf is hangin' limp at your sides Your heart is giving up Some crackpot still owns our club On the page 6565 You won't need no red shirt, won't need no white shorts Roland'll pick your team, pick your colours too From the bottom of a long glass tube On the page 7510 If Roland's still not gone, He oughta make it by then Maybe He'll look around Himself and say Guess it's time for the judgment day On the page 8510 Roland is gonna shake His mighty head He'll either say I'm pleased where Charlton has been Or tear it down, and start again On the page 9595 I'm kinda wonderin' if Charlton is gonna be alive Roland's taken everything this old club can give And he ain't put back nothing Now it's been ten thousand pages Charlton fans have cried a billion tears For what, Roland never knew, now Roland's reign is through But through eternal night, the twinkling of starlight So very far away, maybe it's only yesterday

Won't the operating costs and losses be greater in The Championship? And he wouldn't provide a squad that would be able to compete.

This is very much true. If we were to go up this season, we would come back down instantly if RD continues to own us.
Not talking about RD owning us in Championship. Just getting us there. He will get a better price on his investement. When there, hopefully the right owners will push the club forwards

Again. He cannot walk away on a free.
I miss the days when Katrien used to roll out the reasoning of how we we we're respecting the players wishes for a move, as she would remind us, we should be happy, we saw a Premier league player of the future. Stay humble
Larry van Rental: Mr Roland sir, if you want a realistic chance of getting 40 million it would be best to keep all the top players including Mr Grant, Mr Aribo, Mr Taylor, and Mr Bauer to the end of the season when a Championship team in a prime London location may be worth 35 to 40 million with a bit of luck.
Roland Duchatelet: that's a good idea.
Larry Van Rentals: oh by the way, Huddersfield offered 1.5 million plus add ons, for Mr Grant, shall I tell them to do one.
Roland Duchatelet: sell sell sell.
Some names have been changed to protect the innocent.
My conclusion is simply that our potential buyers whether they be UK, Aussie or AN Other aren’t prepared to do the deal unless we are promoted and don’t fancy the gamble of funding a League 1 club. Even if RD improves the deal /price maybe our suitors just don’t like the odds of securing promotion.

I think they were happy to buy a League One club last year. So what’s changed? Is it finding investors who share their optimism? Have no idea if I’m honest.

If Katrien had survived, they may find
On the page 3535
Roland ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lie
Everything you think, do and say
Is in the bull you took today
On the page 4545
You ain't gonna need your eyes won't need your brain
You won't find a thing to believe
Nobody's gonna buy our club
On the page 5555
Your scarf is hangin' limp at your sides
Your heart is giving up
Some crackpot still owns our club
On the page 6565
You won't need no red shirt, won't need no white shorts
Roland'll pick your team, pick your colours too
From the bottom of a long glass tube
On the page 7510
If Roland's still not gone, He oughta make it by then
Maybe He'll look around Himself and say
Guess it's time for the judgment day
On the page 8510
Roland is gonna shake His mighty head
He'll either say I'm pleased where Charlton has been
Or tear it down, and start again
On the page 9595
I'm kinda wonderin' if Charlton is gonna be alive
Roland's taken everything this old club can give
And he ain't put back nothing
Now it's been ten thousand pages
Charlton fans have cried a billion tears
For what, Roland never knew, now Roland's reign is through
But through eternal night, the twinkling of starlight
So very far away, maybe it's only yesterday
* edit, sorry i meant 'SOILED'
