Raising funds was the issue I’m hearing. Mind you, they could easily have fallen out over any number of things. Loli_b_b_o_r_g said:
Is this true, or was it the introduction of the extra £7m payable that they fell out over?JamesSeed said:Dalman couldn’t get the funds together in time for the deadline.
Keep ‘em peeled at The Valley and training ground, as there might be some Chinese visitors apparently.0 -
Wonder if Dalman is playing Roly at his own game?
Tough negotiator and if Roly thinks he's walked then he may be flexible on the deal.
Roly on the other hand is sticking to the three parties are interested line hoping Dalman will bend.
Stalemate ensues!!
Wouldn't be surprised if this still gets completed.
I'm not ITK obvs, but that's just the impression I get.0 -

Was sent this info on the Aussies this morning. Sums up the whole situation pretty well.

I'd be amazed if he didn't have the 33m quoted.0 -

I don't think Roland has got any sense, so the Aussies are going to be waiting a lot longer

Then accept the liability for the director loans, complete the deal, and then pay them off when the other £7m is available.CafcSCP said:

my dog was very interested in a dismembered seal on our local beach in Norfolk, alls I needed was a couple of adders at it, and England would be equally as mental..1

Last call for any lifers who still haven't done the 'Will Happy Valley start making up facts soon?' joke. By my count there are still seven of you and the window is narrowing.4

Roland hates his partner and kid(s) so much he's leaving the sale of Charlton to be concluded by them when he finally shuffles off in 2033. Who knows where we'll be by then, but I suspect a lower division, maybe even non league.
I'm up for a visit to Flanders in a few months to see if we can find any of his relatives and try to talk some sense into them because sure as hell Roland isn't selling0 -
I don't think they'll be keen to bite the hand that feeds them.rananegra said:Roland hates his partner and kid(s) so much he's leaving the sale of Charlton to be concluded by them when he finally shuffles off in 2033.

No way would you close a deal minus all of the money.
I don't buy the fact that he couldn't raise the cash. You'd agree the deal in principle and complete when the rest is in place.
Maybe Dalman has walked!! (to the bank to get the 7m

I think that a price may have been agreed between RD and Dalman, and the funds secured by Dalman. But then RD pulled the £7m needing to be payed on top of initial agreed price out the hat, meaning at that / this point, Dalman don't have enough to proceed.

The £7m is RD’s debt. Why would you want to pay that off for him when he has the money to clear it.3

Does RD want it paid off as any deals agreed involve leaving some of the debt to him? If the club goes into administration in future and the director loans are still there they’d be paid back ahead of him? Is that right?Solidgone said:The £7m is RD’s debt.

Lickspittle should have gone to the fans forum, his deal negotiation is demonstrably crap.0

If the existing charges are cleared then two shits would have a first charge for any debts he leaves with the new owners, assuming the debt was secured on the assets.Scoham said:

But I thought the £33m or £40m with the loans paid was leaving clean title. He can’t expect £33m and the outstanding debt to Staprix (c£68m I believe) staying with the club. That values the deal at £100m which is clearly lunacy.0 -
It's a bit like buying a house.
First, you choose the house you're going to buy. Then, you negotiate a price with the vendor. Then, the vendor turns out to be demonstrably bonkers. So, you go to the Winchester, have a pint and wait for it all to blow over.17
