So the message seems to be that the Aussies should clear off, in order to make Roland drop his price and find another buyer?
In other words, it's the Aussies' fault that the price is too high and if only they would disappear then the price would go down so the club can be sold to someone else.
Not sure that logic stacks up, to be honest.
If the Aussies were the ONLY people to accept Roland's price, then yes it's them that have kept the price high.
If ALL potential owners told Roland they would only pay say £25m, then Roland would have to drop the price below what he's asking. If one group seem happy to pay £40m then to him that's justification that his price is fair.
So, to clarify, you're actually saying that it's the buyer that has caused the price to be too high? And not the seller?
Yes. If Roland had set a price at say 40m and every potential buyer had laughed and only offered 25m, then he would have had to lower the price. Having one buyer who at some stage agreed his ludicrous price gives it credibility, and as a result we’ve wasted a year while Roland waited for them to cough up
If I was selling a house and one buyer offered 400k when everyone else was only prepared to pay 250k, I’d wait for the 400k offer to be settled
Would it at any point dawn on you that the reason that one buyer had offered substantially more than anyone else was that your house wasn't, in fact, worth that amount?
For example, a year after agreeing the price, if the buyer hadn't completed the purchase, and you had receive no other offers in the same region, would you begin to have the feeling that the house wasn't worth what you're asking for it?
And would you continue to hold out for the higher price? Or would you reconsider offering it at a price at which a deal could be completed?
Because, if it's the latter, you'd sell the house and, at the same time, prove beyond any reasonable doubt that it's the seller that sets the price, not the buyer. And that, despite agreeing to sell to one buyer who fails to complete, it's perfectly possible to sell to another.
Not forgetting as time goes on you are selling expensive fixtures and fittings off and replacing them with cheaper versions that aren’t as good and won’t last as long
Agreed, and they last Six months even if they are quality.
Decent report. Think the rumours thread descended to the level of this behemoth on the end, it was initially exciting, with the odd burst of interest but ultimately disappointing.
Who knew there were so many people on Charlton Life with such extensive M&A experience?
It's a real eye opener reading that the only thing in a sale and purchase agreement is the price, and that its always a fixed price with no conditions, etc whatsoever (on either side). And that there's only ever one version of an agreement and once it gets written into black and white it's somehow set in stone.
It's an eye opener because if people can talk such bollocks about this one thing then I can only assume that they are talking bollocks about everything else as well.
