The price was agreed between RD and the Aussies when Meire was still around. Say £40M.
RD could not believe he had found mugs willing to pay that much.
Aussies thought they had an amazing deal.
Sale contract lodged with FA by Aussies with RD not bothering to read the detail as he trusts Meire.
RD then sees contract and asks Meire ‘why am I paying the Aussies £40M for them to take the club from me?
Meire says that is the best she could agree in her 15 mins of work that day. RD sacks Meire. She goes off to find a bigger loon boss than her last, fortunately for her there are plenty in football.
Aussies keep emailing club to chase up on deal but no one there to respond, they think that is a good sign and turn up for Shrewsbury games thinking it is a done deal.
Keohone meets them, tells them it is them paying RD the £40m, not the other way round. Aussies go home laughing and doing interviews to say they were never involved.
RD goes to the local Nisa supermarket to buy duct tape and starts chatting to the check out man. RD likes him so hires him to run the sale process. LDT appears on scene. RD goes back to taping up his shoes.

What a load of bollocks. Had a great nite in Newcastle watching the match with some really passionate Geordie guys (a bit missed mind ). Just sell the club and fuck off!!.

Let’s swap owners! One night Meire to the next. I’m scared these Aussies have no money and will be shit owners with the best intentions. I’d rather have someone rich who doesn’t give a fu*k who can keep us out of administration until a reasonably minted group or person come along with good plans and are able to stabilise our shit situation
Brexit will happen begorecwr get taken over. Proper Brexit. Done deal Brexit. Not just leaving the EU Brexit but proper trade deal, closer union & transition time Brexit.

I can't believe there are still people who think we are being "played". The info, as multiple people have said isn't just coming from RD as his lacky. If it is a wind up, it's a bloody good one. The EFL, Jim White, the broker, the aussies, the legal firm. Christ he has gone to a lot of expense and effort to piss a few thousand people off.

Not that far from the truth as he will have to write off a substantial part of the Straprix debt.

Yes but not if the £70m rumour that has been circulating is based on getting to the Premier League. He might structure as £25m up front, additional payment if/when we make the Championship and contingent on sell-ons/bonuses for appearances etc. for Lookman (AC Milan are interested), Pope, Konsa, Gomez (worth £30m+), then a final balloon payment when we reach the Premier League (all totalling £70m). Wouldn't surprise me if the deal went something like that. He appears to be desperate to get his investment back (face saving) regardless of how badly he has mis-managed it!

LDT..."The reporting of Jim White made the British party aware that they might miss out on the deal and that “put them into sixth gear”....
"Played" has as much validity as "done deal" has...How many times has "done deal" passed us by..?
Varney said a good few years back that Flamini had agreed terms with Charlton and while we were having the contract put together, he went over to Arsenal and signed for them. Told me that face to face the night before we signed Francis Jeffers and Danny Murphy. Nothing is real until it’s officially announced.

As has been mentioned before, De Turck would have to be very thick to have planted a false story with Jim White to achieve an outcome and then boasted in an on-the-record public meeting with fans that it had achieved that outcome. I don't think he is that thick and hence no one was "played" in that process. Neither was he JW's source.
The assumption that people have ever been "played" appears to rest on the view that RD's primary interest is in deterring protests or misleading supporters. It would not survive examination of the multiple various parties providing information but it is understandable to some extent since with the obvious exception of Gerard Murphy they have all stayed below the radar. As I've said before, people working at the club, others who know people at the club and random third parties are not credible primary sources and would not be relied upon by me, Rich Cawley, jim White or Giuseppe Muro on the Standard, all of whom to my knowledge have their own credible primary sources and have reported the stories. AFAIK no other journalist has shown they have primary sources on the Charlton takeover since the April 2017 story appeared on Mailonline. Other platforms just recycle what comes out of the club or second-hand material from the ones above.
AFAIK "done deal" has only surfaced once, in February 2018. Mea culpa. That information came from the lawyers and was backed up by someone not party to the deal but who had been involved with RD and was in the loop. The tweet was framed in that way because it is the phrase the club routinely uses for player signings - clearly it was foolish on my part as the information was qualified at the time with the warning there were formalities to conclude and it didn't happen - but I'm not aware of any other serious use of it by anyone. The fact a deal was agreed, however, is proven by the fact that the contract was eventually lodged with the EFL, according to them and on the record.

"Done Deal" "Done by February", "Next 2 weeks", and the latest being Jim White's "The next 48 hours", yet RD is still here, in "no rush to sell the Club" because he's rich & stubborn enough to sit it out until someone pays for his mistakes...

Do you think then that Murray, Robinson and Bowyer were all lying about what they’d been told about it happening? Or is Duchatelet lying to them?
