The Takeover Thread - Duchatelet Finally Sells (Jan 2020)

BR7_addick

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

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 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.

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?

He operates out of having lost his marbles.

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

Be nice to think it will happen but I don’t have such hopes 

Mine have dwindled away to the old adage that when it’s done it will be announced via the correct mediums at the right times

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?

Hmmm Dalman/ Charlton/ Red Club / Dalman frontman for Tan?

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

If Mehmet or Tan try and change our shirts to red then that’s me done with Charlton.

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.

He already has, Airman reports that he turned down 45 mill

I agree. 
Unless he is a spiteful vindictive bastard who likes to see us suffer. 

I don’t think he is spiteful, vindictive or motivated by money.

I think he views himself as a visionary and innovator, and that his wealth confirms that view of himself.

It is the visionary bit that I think makes him unreliable in that his views are fluid and subject to sudden changes in perspective and direction.

To put in layman’s terms. Mad as a box of frogs.

Yep, with Red Bull and Usmanov providing the financial clout.

Poor Aussies will be gutted if they miss out after waiting for 2 years 

They might have their consortium in place by the time Dalman wants to sell the club

Wikipedia say that he is the owner of Charlton Athletic!
