I think RD is absolutely dying to sell the club, but there's also a large part of him that just can't take loss and this bit is winning at the moment. I think this dilemma is driving the booking bonkers tbh
He's like Whoopi Goldberg handing over that cheque in Ghost!
1681 - Nostradamus said "In the sixth month, the sun rising, the Douche and the Olden Directors on the field of Mars to fight; The tired Belgian raises its eye to the heavens, sees an eagle playing around the sun and makes a false statement to which he is immediately revealed to be both a charlatan, and a fuckwit"
7 million is a conciderable amount of money I must admit. But it's still a relatively small amount when you consider how much the overall cost is of buying the club. I know this 7 million is Rolands dept and it's his fault for not doing DD properly. But if Roland is serious about selling and if the Aussies are serious about buying I see no reason why a compromise cannot be reached. None of this makes sense to me.
Message to the Aussies get the deal done. All this his moved the goalposts you've been dealing with Roland for 18 months you know what his like.
everyone thought Roland was the best thing since sliced bread at first.
No they didn’t , I smelt a rat as did a few others early on , plenty even clung on in deference to his wealth when a blind man could see he was a twunt and useless to our club
all the time this drags on.. Bowyer and players contracts remain unresolved.
May well be too late for Bowyer but don't despair, The Aussies have the most successful manager in The Australian football league lined up ?
Kevin Muscat.
I have no idea what is going to happen regarding a take over, too many false dawns, but I have a strong feeling Bowyer will still be about next season regardless

There was, at least, hope until he sold Stephens and Kermogant and then sacked Chris Powell. Disn't take him long. All been downhill since.

I had some renewed hope at the start of the next season. We brought some decent players in - Vetokele, Gudmundsson, Buyens, Ben Haim, Henderson - and there was acknowledgement that the previous window's recruitment hadn't been right. That lasted until the last couple of weeks of the transfer window when even Peeters was publicly moaning that he didn't have a big enough squad to compete. Never recovered from there
People not wanting the Aussies, is just ridiculous. If the recent VoTV is anything to go by I can just imagine RD moving the goal posts constantly. I imagine it’s just as frustrating for them as it is for us.
We’re talking millions of pounds, yes in the grand scheme of things 7mil is not a lot in comparison to the sale. However, these people are businessmen, they didn’t get their wealth by spending 7mil willy nilly.
If they’ve stuck around this long , that shows me they have an interest to get the club to the promise land. Surely they’d have given up by now if it wasn’t worth it to them.
Just see see how it pans out with them... everyone thought Roland was the best thing since sliced bread at first.
“everyone thought Roland was the best thing since sliced bread at first.” That’s news to me, there was considerable misgivings the moment Kermorgant and Morrison were shown the door. Yes, we were pleased to have got shot of “The Spivs” but to say we were totally enamoured with Goldfinger and his weird scheme from the word go is somewhat wide of the mark.
all the time this drags on.. Bowyer and players contracts remain unresolved.

Realise that was a joke......but to add a bit of levity to the situation, the Aussies were at Wembley and saw for themselves Bowyers achievement, there’s no way they’ll be looking elsewhere.

But don’t think it ends there folks. Please bear in mind that what goes on behind the scenes can be more complex than it seems from the outside. Also bear in mind how little face time there has been between Roland and Gerard. Despite that, much of the info Gerard receives comes from Roland, Murray or Lieven, so I’d ask for understanding if things can look a little odd at times.

We are being patient. Look how patient we are being.

The fact they were at Wembley and saw the great subs made by Bowyer and the passion of the Charlton fans makes me hope they can finally get the deal done and overcome the loan issues. A vital few days awaits but hope someone has got the message through to Bowyer. When the Sunderland home game took place after Jim White's 48 hours from done deal, Lyle Taylor said he didn't believe it as the players hadn't heard a whisper. I just hope someone is keeping Lee Bowyer in the loop.

Ok, I over egged what I said slightly (in relation to RD).
However, people on here and other forums saying “it’s only 7mil” (or words to that effect) make me die. 7mil in any context is a lot of money, especially when you don’t necessarily have to spend it. It’s easy typing 7mil but if that was your money, I bet the majority wouldn’t want to let go of it. Those same people are now probably reading this thinking “to get the sale through, i’d spend it” still don’t get it.
Just imagine buying a house, the person you’re buying off made a load of improvements and paid on a credit card. They then say “do us a favour, give us an extra 70k so we can pay the outstanding debt” we’d all tell them where to go. I know it’s not the same context in relation to the sale but people need to realise that people don’t want to just give money away for no reason.

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Roland doesn’t sell for a couple more years.
a few days ago you said Murphy won’t tell you anything but you were getting info from someone you don’t know who has contacted you on twitter.
must admit I’m struggling to keep up
He'll only report on it during a slow news week
A vital few days awaits but hope someone has got the message through to Bowyer.

Ps. Kevin Muscat is a Cunx.
