    He had a pint in a pub with a bloke who told him so!
    The same bloke told me that Bowyer was staying.

    This is the price being mooted (supposedly) for a well run club who have just spent 2 years in the prem.  This just highlights what a fool Roland really is 
    Its why he probably doesnt care about the Football Club and is happy to sell that part for free

    What he probably wants in an ideal situation is the death of Charlton so he can turn the land into property development

    £70m for that sort of land in London? - Hence his asking price?
    Why would he waste more than £70 million just to buy the land for property development,he could have bought the club and then closed it. at this point he would not get £70 million for the land as property prices in London are stagnating/falling.
    Your right it doesnt make sense but this is the worrying thing...

    Nothing that Roland has done has made sense - the bloke is as mad as a box of chocolate frogs!!

    He's probably so crazy he's happy to waste the money now just to spite us
  • The land is worthless because it has a football club attached to it that has to use it. The problem for me is mostly that the bloke has shown time and time again that he is mentally unstable. He seems to view these matters in the same way a small child would.

    If we don't get promoted we are in real trouble and managers like Bowyer only come around once in a blue moon. If we get promoted, maybe Duchatelet will realise there is another route to get his money back. I would be interested if somebody like Driesen, who he seems to listen to, can see that possibility. A long shot, and given his instability, maybe not likely but possible. I would imagine Arsenal and West Ham would be keen to keep Bielik and Cullen on loan to us in the Championship. Aribo may see the opportunity that is there for him.

    When I saw Lee Bowyer at a U23 match last month and thank him for all his efforts over the last year, what ever happens now, he said,

    "I'm not finished yet" 

    I interpreted this to mean he wants a new contract and that we get new owners who understand Cafc and back him with some investment so we not only get to the Championship but have a push for the Premier within the 5 year plan.

    Or it could mean he's not finished with football but Charlton are fuc***

    Or the season wasn't and still isn't over yet.

    If Duchatelet was not mad he would identify that Bowyer has been like getting a winning lottery ticket. Instead he offers him a contract Bowyer has said he doesn't understand. I would imagine Bowyer would be keen to develop the side further if we get promoted, but he will need a new owner or Duchatelet's support to do that. Bloody hell, he needs a new owner doesn't he? Never was it more important to get Duchatelet out! 
    Indeed......and it’s a contract that would appear to be taking an extraordinarily long time to sort out......wonder who’s stalling and why?

  • Have it on good authority that if we get promoted Roland will invest to have a go at PL promotion. Driesen is going through the latest FM database currently in preparation FACT
    If we all put everything on here we have been given as “on good authority” you would scarcely believe it.

    Weve had so much Bullshit from Roland, the cows have asked for another field to lay in.

    As I see it, were on a false dawn as fans, yes we want promotion, but, were about to lose half the team come June, and anyone silly enough to think Roland will put his hand in his pocket for next season?, not a chance in my view, if a buyer hasnt shown this summer, I fear for the club.

    Spot on. Been posting similar comments for some time now. While we are owned by Roland we are staring into the abyss.
  • Boycott!!

  • If RD is still the owner at the end of the season I don't blame anyone for leaving - players or management staff. They deserve better.

    More chance of him opening the batting again for England at nearly 79 than Roland selling up  :(

    Well done cfgs, I think you've cracked the code.
  • Bolton's troubles appear to be going on hold with Bassini set to takeover!!

    Cant see that ending well under him when you consider the feedback Watford fans have given on social media about him

    I had a aubergine 1600E. My first car.  Loved it 


    So did I - 'F' reg with the four centre dials in a pod above the dash rather than the later built in.

    Bought it for £450 at the auction place that used to be on Blackheath Hill and I too loved it.

    My second car - the first a Ford Anglia 105E that cost me £90! 

  •  I too had an 'F' reg 1600E with the four centre dials in a pod above the dash rather than the later built in metallic blue in mint condition. Had yale locks on the doors but scumbags broke in through the sunroof were chased by Police and wrote it off. Still think it was my favourite car and I am 60 now so have had plenty to chose from!
