Mehmet has said he’s going. Tan wants him to stay & has upped his money. plot thickens.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Dalman doesn't seem to be involved with Cardiff to be on a healthy salary? Seems more to me it's his passionate hobby to be heavily involved with a football club. Would seem weird he would be offered more money and that would make him stay.
Basically he's rich as so why would a pay increase make him want to stay there. I've seen a Cardiff poster on their forum has said that he has always seemed to have wanted to own a club.
Was about to post similar.
If you want to own a football club and have the money to do so, then Tan upping his money by a few k is surely not going to make him change his mind. I doubt the guy needs a few k extra on his salary.
Am only passing on what I’ve been told. Tan is clearly desperate to keep him, hence offering him dollar.

Theres also a big difference in owning your own club, or working under someone else.
The thought of steering Charlton to the prem is surely a better prospect then staying at Cardiff.

Don’t buy it. Tan must have been aware of this pretty much since first contact by Dalmans people with Charlton. Any “please reconsider “ would have been said weeks possibly months ago. Impossible for Dalman to have kept Tan in the dark and if he did then Tan would have every right to be pissed off.
Im not saying it’s going to happen but I am not sure it isn’t either.
The forum that shall not be named have heard Dalman’s takeover will be completed in 10 days to two weeks...
Link?
Tbf to Reams he was right in regards to his info about his journo friend etc. Where he lets himself down is when he gloats and has his snipe comments towards this forum. Worth paying attention to in this instance I would say, especially with his Cardiff links
Don't know what he's gloating about , he doesn't get much right!
Reams does have strong links with Cardiff due to his dad being a legend there. I trust what he says tbh.

Agree. He knows his stuff about Cardiff and has good contacts there
Even though Charlton had lost all their staff and had to play an under 23 team in the championship, Nobby Vinegar managed to keep Charlton in the Championship for 4 seasons. Summer, Autumn, winter and Spring.
This rumour has gone dryer than the popes nuts.
Sad really, we are in desperate need of a rescue buyer.
Little did we know, two years ago this month, when this was posted, that we would still be ruminating on possible consequences of deals, none of which having reached the finishing line.
So, what has changed in those two years? Well, seeing that this post by @Dazzler21 was one of only THREE posts in the whole of June 2017, we've all become a lot less reticent about posting stuff. Even if the thing we choose to post fails to add anything substantive whatsoever to the debate or fails to pass on or develop a further understanding of any of the underlying issues.
Like this one.
Ok @Chizz , i think you have just put your hand up to the be the CharltonLife Takeover thread historian. Your job will be to ensure forgotten gems of posts from yester-year (literally and obliquely pun-like regarding @happyvalley's activity) are exhibited so that we can connect with our roots...
Cynic in me thinks he leaked it yesterday so he could say he was staying in Cardiff today just to ratchet up the pressure for RD to sort out whatever is blocking the deal
Are you confusing the cynic in you with the optimist. Sounds crowded in there.

I'm not terribly clued up, but didn't Reams have 'strong links" with Charlton and still spent most of his time chatting absolute gas?
kbls idea does seem to make sense. dalman releases the story and is then given an increase and then releases another story to the same journo on how he is staying.
in the other hand the statement is very nom committal. bit to make a statement at all when he could have kept stum, then be gone in 10 days would seen strange. but this guy is by all accounts a shrewd operator and maybe it could happen. it really does feel like it could be a perfect storm if darman picks up the club now. we're on the Crest of a wave and with the right backing we could be on the brink of something special. just like 2013, the backing didnt come then but Powell's skills still meant a good season, if dalmat takes control it could go step further this time 🤞

I have no idea who Reams is as the only Charlton base media I go on is CL and the office site. Must be John Toshack or if Reams is old now then Ivor Allchurch or John Charles must be the Daddy. If Reams is a 14 year old it might be Craig Bellamy !

Dalman is hugely wealthy. He does what he wants to do. A few grand a week won’t make him stay if he wants a new challenge. He might stay because he wants to but I don’t think even a couple of hundred grand would impact him in his actions.
Well the rumours aren’t slowing down despite the article put out earlier. I’m taking that as a positive. Let’s hope someone is finally able to get through to the rat

Just out of interest, can they reverse a humour bypass operation?
I did think that happyvalley had already posted that Walpole fact a few pages (years) earlier.
