1617, English poet Richard Lovelace is born at Woolwich. He had a very naughty sister called Linda. Also as others have mentioned Pocahontas dies at Gravesend aged 21.
To be fair, we've waited two years, it's been happening in two weeks, well now it's two months until 30th June.
Thanks God he can't last two decades.
Don't put it past him. Two decades time he'll be 92?
If we were told we'd have to wait for RD to die before the club changes owner knowing our luck he'd go on to become the oldest person in the world.
2046 - 'Charlton owner Roland Duchatelet, 100, has announced that to celebrate reaching his century he will retire from public life, stop playing the monkey, and give his €2 billion fortune to new Charlton manager Toby Stevenson as a tranfer kitty. Stevenson is optimistic that with that kind of budget he can get Charlton into the Conference within five years.'
RD is a man of 72 in apparently robust health who has €1.5 billion to his name. I really don't think he needs my sympathy, genuine or otherwise.
The club is getting reasonable offers of £35M and is losing £12M per year. It appears RD wants £65M. Roland is worth £1.4B pounds (1.5M Euros).
This is numerically like someone worth £50,000 wanting $2320 for a used car that experts say is worth only $1250, but he continues to hold out for his $2320, all the while losing £430 per year in depreciation while he waits for a sale he will never get.
On top of this, he claims five people want to buy the car, have "agreed on the price" and yet after a year, none of those people return his calls. Despite this reality staring him at his face, he keeps saying to anyone who will listen...."the first one to bring me the $2320, wins! Any day now!"

If I was expecting to buy Charlton by the 30th of June I would be looking to bring it forward and get Bowyer tied up a.s.a.p. Everything could fall to pieces by then! There is a real reluctance for anybody in a position to disclose the price to do so. why? Well if you want to sell something, it is often good to put the price out there. This tells us they know the asking price is something to be defensive about. I can't see any way that we are any closer to being sold now than at any over time. Sadly!
Maybe the deluded one is using the false information being touted via LdT as an excuse do do absolutely bugger all before 30 June, telling the likes of LB and JJ that their contract issues are now none of his business as he will be gone by the end of June. I wonder what garbage RD and LvT will come up with on 1 July? They will probably tell Bowyer and Jacko that they tried so hard to get the deal done by 11pm on 30 June, but just couldn't get it over the line because it depended on other teams getting replacements for their managers.

And the photo of The Valley goes back yonks!
Not sure why you’ve posted it to be honest?
There are teams that have been taken over. Won the league. Got relegated and been sold again in that time!
A nonsense.
Thanks God he can't last two decades.

Which bid was/is he involved in?
He may be the broker rather than the money.
Small earnings Fry. I guess much to Stephen’s disgust as he saw himself as Cook to Moore 😂😂
