  • Guarantee that statement would be 100% reversed if it was made to EnglandOnline.

    Made purely for the locals and very diplomatic.

    Enough is enough. So many interested parties and RD is just playing hardball. It's about time we did too, all of us as one.
    By boycotting and not buying season tickets? Not enough want change enough for that as we have seen. 
    Again, its not about people not wanting change, everone wants him gone, some people need the football in their life to help them.

    Also if Roland lost 1 million in ST sales, he would just sell Taylor to make up for 
    But the club would not be in his ownership for too long if they were playing to a near-empty stadium. Sadly, not enough fans wishing to make that sacrifice ( but I recognise any, or no action, is an individuals choice).
    Wouldn't matter to RD if the ground was empty.
    He'd fill it with kids and comps in the short term, and reduce the playing budget to compensate
  • Boycotting will make it easy for Roland to justify selling the ground and land for a plastic bowl somewhere off a dual carriage way.
  • Calm down everyone and just think about how excited CL was this time last year.

    It's new season ticket application time again. That's the reason this has come out now and how many bought them last year cos they thought Roland was going?
    So it was Roland that leaked this news when he knew it was going nowhere. He's playing fans like a fiddle.
    Yes, the great RD media operation which recently put a CARD statement in full on the club website, referred to fans as "soft terrorists", demanded publicly that the EFL bought the club and routinely publishes statements that fall apart factually within hours has delivered another Machiavellian triumph via a Welsh website. In other news, the moon landings have been exposed as fake just weeks before the 50th anniversary of the first one...
    Indeed, he's a sly old dog.

    Until Dalman completes tomorrow :-)

  • If RD is offered the price he wants he'll then decide it's too low and raise it...
  • Nothing coming from Cawley which is strange. 
  • If this gent is the "banker" that was rumored to be in the background then he has been about for a good few months. He will be aware that Rolands ego didn't visit planet Earth very often.He could have purchased a DD from one of the previous interested parties and his own experts do a gap analysis on it,therefore not starting at ground zero.

    Options open to the gent from Cardiff:
    *Stay there
    *Leave football
    *Leave and join as the majority partner in CAFC with what ever there is left of the Aussies
    *Leave and be the total owner of CAFC

    One statement he HASN'T put out "there is NO truth in the rumour that I'm leaving Cardiff.There is NO truth in the rumour im attempting to buy CAFC"


    Sadly I feel that the Rat will be here at the start of this season,and we will face a very very tough future

    I know this has been covered ad nauseam but if we were down to 5 thousand at the beginning of last season because of  mass boycotting then Cullen, Bielik and the goal scoring Wembley hero Purrington wouldn't  have been brought in and Taylor would've chose Sunderland instead of cafc.

    The boycotting on a mass scale may have seen Duchatelet depart earlier But I'm convinced we would be starting from League 2 as some of the guys said was a price worth paying back all those years ago on that cold night in Woolwich to see the back of RD. That nightmare scenario could still be the outcome despite the fans answering Lee Bowyers clarion call and coming out in our numbers to help get Cafc promoted. 

    Now back to the non sale of Charlton.
  • Ignoring the non-denial denial, the very fact he gave that interview tells me he’s not even close.

    If we were a matter of days away why give an interview at all and potentially back yourself in to a corner?

    This still has a very long way to go.

    Boycotting would only work if you had owners who couldn't afford to live with their losses from football - RD is obviously not in this category.

  • "Sadly I feel that the Rat will be here at the start of this season, and we will face a very very tough future."

    My feelings exactly. Been saying this for weeks (I know I'm not the only one.) Was looking forward to August but now I'm almost dreading it.

  • Just to clarify with the straw clutchers, the Welsh journo who interviewed him this morning tweeted saying “it’s fab news for bluebirds I think”
    And according to Jim White we should have been sold months ago. (Just saying).
  • Roland will still own us before the season kicks off, will Lee Bowyer still be here?
  • If RD is offered the price he wants he'll then decide it's too low and raise it...
    Even then if the price is met, he'll demand payment in the cash equivalent of timber or artichokes.
    We've got him forever.

    He can't live forever?

    If he turned out to be that eccentric I'd be willing to change my mind about him. 
  • I'm not sure whether to read Robinson Crusoe , or play some Classical music, and get a bit of a handel on things...
