    Interesting in that this bidder, albeit under the anonymity of a Standard article, has gone public with a valuation of £30M, whereas NDAs etc have clouded exactly what bids have been made. As the article says, the ball is in RD's court and given the events of the past week and the rejection of his demand by the EFL, if he turns this down his real appetite to offload the club at a realistic price will become apparent to all.
    Was thinking the same thing.

    Playing this out semi-publicly puts pressure on Roland but there are no names so no NDA broken.
    Yes, can't imagine Roland will be happy it being played out in public.

    I believe the rejected £35m offer was the one that involved Varney. Maybe that's why it was rejected. Perhaps this new one is structured differently.

    Said I wouldn't get excited again. But I fucking well have. 

    If protests/action has been planned for Saturday (been out the loop) then they should still go forward, as this saga has still gone on too long and in my opinion protests will not put more pressure on Roland to sell.

    Nicola Cortese? Banker and used to work with Southampton. Seemed to be highly regarded there too

    I didn't know until I just googled 'bankers with football backgrounds" that Maurizio Sarri used to combine working in banking with being involved in amateur football. I wonder.......

    A foreign banker has got no chance, the Douchbag has said as much about the nationality of his preferred purchaser.

    Roland's envoy might need the good old fashioned long hard look in the mirror.
    Does he want to be a man of decency, reason, honesty and common sense, or be know as the person whose raison d'etre is to second guess a nutcase, and roll turds in glitter.

    I think that was just another excuse. He'll sell to anyone if the price is right - since when has he cared about Charlton that much?

    So this bid is no improvement on the amount apparently rejected last month, and less than half the valuation that Roland has stated, as recently as this week?! Refusing to get my hopes up (again)

    Keith Harris has advised alot of owners before they bought teams

    Abramovich-Chelsea
    Sinawatra-Man City
    Lerner-Villa

    He helped with tne Sale of Fulham from Fayed and advised middle eastern contacts on a failed bid for Liverpool

    Raison d'etre means "Purpose" in English, in case anyone was wondering

    No doubt Keith Harris is involved somewhere.

    Hope so mate, it was tongue in cheek, left my customary winky, smiley emoji off.

    Nicola Cortese is an interesting shout. Obviously took Southampton all the way to the PL as chairman.

    There was story a couple of years ago that the people in charge of Southampton wanted a club in London and were having a look at us.
  • paulie8290paulie8290
    Maybe its not banker

    Maybe its a W but they had to put a B instead to get past sensors

    Any former Wankers(sorry admin) that have prem experience
