    The Aussies are not for me.

    So what do you know about them?

    If the Australians take over I will be first in line for buying season tickets.
    Do we really want the Aussies after 2 years 
    Frying pan into the fire
    Yes. Because 1) it means Roland has gone 2) is there any evidence that they are the cause of the hold up
    Agree with 1) but I think all the evidence on 2) is that they put the paperwork in to the EFL last May and then couldn’t follow through.
    2) Couldn’t or wouldn’t?
  • My main concern is that Roland still wants to own a part of Charlton after we have been sold. 
    One blade of grass would be to much for me.
    I want him 100%gone. 
    Very bad news if he still has a financial interest in us after a sale.

    Sometimes it’s safer and less awkward not to follow through

    You know, at this stage it’s best to concentrate on what we know for sure.
    Do you know it they couldn’t or wouldn’t? So much of the info we’ve received over the last two years about paperwork and the EFL has been sketchy. If the Directors’ loans haven’t been addressed, for example, could that affect the paperwork, or their willingness to submit it?

    Either way, we can agree the Directors’ loans are holding things up. Roland says it’s the Directors’ fault. The Directors say it’s Roland’s. If it is Roland (which most think likely) then why is he doing it? And what can be done about it?
  • I thought it was a £30.5M bid from the Aussies matched by the Middle eastern bid?

    Did the Middle Eastern bid actually exist?
  • From the sublime to the ridiculous.
  • What about the mysterious British bid. What happened to that and did it really exist ?
  • what about the RedBull bid,what happened to that and did that actually exist

    No, we don’t agree on that. And neither do the ex-directors.

    if you wanted to lever them into cutting a deal on the loans, isn’t this exactly what you’d tell them?

    So you’re saying the Directors’ loans aren’t holding things up? Surely, if the Directors haven’t been approached, then the loans can’t have been dealt with.

    I want him 100%gone. 
    We could give him 14 chips

    Doesn’t mean it’s the thing holding up the deal. 

    I know this whole thing is frustrating but pretty sure we have been through this hundreds of times.

    Sorry to be banging on about this, but the sale can’t happen without the loans being sorted. 
    And as the loans haven’t been sorted they are, at very least, contributing to the sale not been completed. 
    And yes, it’s frustrating.

  • I still don’t get why he wouldn’t have done it already. Doesn’t he want to sell the club? Is he so wealthy he can’t be bothered? What has this Lieven fella been doing all this time?

    Correction: the sale to the Australians can’t happen without the loans being sorted....

    First rule of the takeover

    Never believe what the regime say

    Second rule of the takeover

    Never believe what the regime say
    The loans haven’t been sorted.

    The fact that the regime says they haven’t been sorted doesn’t mean they have been sorted. 

    The bit about why they haven’t been sorted is what is concerning. 

    And bear in mind I didn’t get my info from the regime. Had I done, so I would have been more skeptical Mr I.
