    Poor Aussies will be gutted if they miss out after waiting for 2 years 
    Maybe today will wake them up a bit.

      Been hanging around like a bad smell for ages.
     I'm guessing promotion put a huge spanner in their pretty pitiful attempt.

    The club has a price around the £30m mark that potential buyers seem willing to pay. Duchatelet wants a lot more and it is highly unlikely intelligent people will buy us at the price that has been reported he wants.

    Surely, not even Roland can screw this up.

    He must know that (no thanks to him) this is his best time to sell the club for a decent price. 

    Now or never Roland.
    He can and probably will out of spite .

    I'm never usually hopeful. Always negative.

    I genuinely feel optimistic about this. Just have a good feeling!

    Dalman on the left. Who’s the other gentleman?
    William McGonagall.
    He wrote this poem:

    There was a young Belgian called Roland Duchatetelet,
    Who said he would sell Charlton without dismay.
    He said there must be a buyer out there somewhere,
    But none would match his asking price I do declare.
    Everyone who tried negotiating with Roland found that he had lost his reason,
    With the result that he will be with us for at least one more season.
    That is perfect.

    I agree. 
    Unless he is a spiteful vindictive bastard who likes to see us suffer. 
    His electronics business aside, can you find anything in Rolands past that he hasn’t screwed up? He’s the poster boy for failed big ideas.

    Has Duchatelet or LDT released their “these things take time” statement yet?

    Cawley saying it’s not imminent but Dalman does have the ‘financial power to compete in the championship unlike others’

    Basically confirming what some on here have thought, the Aussies don’t have the cash to be a viable option.
    So maybe Roland will drop them like a lead balloon for this guy?

    I seriously don't think Roland operates out of spite. His motivation is to make as much money as possible. He will sell to the highest bidder, or one that allows him to retain the Valley and training ground,  when HE decides to.
    He operates out of having lost his marbles.

    Yes. He definitely doesn't do loyalty or sentiment

    He obviously has few scruples so why should he worry about dropping anyone if someone with a bigger offer comes along?

    It’s been ‘confirmed’ he is going alone...

    Maybe Dalman has been the missing piece of investment the Aussies have been looking for?

    Dalman gets part ownership & the Chairman’s seat that he craves and the Aussies get their football club.

    @Redhenry in the sense of he’s got dough, has he got lots as in billionaire or just enough to buy the club then play the under 14s every week?
    Hard to gauge, he would have made decent money in the City but not hundreds of millions. It's possible he could have made some serious money in the Middle East. But my guess would be that he's got investment from elsewhere as well as his own dosh.
