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.
Is this true, or was it the introduction of the extra £7m payable that they fell out over?
Raising funds was the issue I’m hearing. Mind you, they could easily have fallen out over any number of things. Lol
I find it hard to believe someone as well connected or wealthy as Dalman couldn't find the funds.
Not saying you are lying James btw. I trust what you say just my opinion.
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. Causing them to fall out
Which happened to the Aussies too.
Which is what I was going to ask, because it's been my understanding that the Aussies have struggled with finance all along (based on what I picked up from here). If RD is now looking at £40 - 50m again, surely that qualifies the Aussies out? I could be wrong of course, it's pure speculation based only what I read on here. Perhaps RD felt Dalman could and would want to pay that much, so he has one price for him, and another for the Aussies. That would seem odd, as he'd want the best price possible, but maybe he knows the max the Aussies can offer and if he can't flog us to anyone else, he will go back to them as the default option.
Re; Dalman, if the Directors' loans have now come into the picture, would any of the Directors have been consulted on him/the offer by now? How does it work? Presumably if you are owed money (regardless of when it transpires you are owed money) and someone comes along and takes that debt off the person who owes you money, contractually/legally, surely you must be consulted? (Apologies if this has already been covered)
Instead of 'taking out' Duchatelet (which would look a bit obvious), has anyone given any thought to having the ex-directors 'taken out', thus eliminating one (or seven) of the obstacles to a sale?

The charges as assets would form part of their estates. A lot of people!

The £7m is RD’s debt. Why would you want to pay that off for him when he has the money to clear it.
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?
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.
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.
I was more thinking along the lines of they might agree a price plus some of the debt remaining, rather than all of it.
So do we actually believe RD gave Dalman a deadline to get the funds together, but the Aussies have had two years to do the same and are still around? I don't buy it.

I assume the deadline would have been Dalman's end
Promising for the future Charlton takeover falls down after Duchatelet unrealistic negotiation position wrecks the deal yet again. 😣
Will Charlton ever be rid of this idiot nonsensical business owner ?
Duchatelet appears to have no real intention of selling under anything but widely unrealistic terms that benefit him & anything positive ongoing for the health of the club is entirely incidental.

When you say ‘taken out’ do you mean buying out or shooting them?
What if Roland partook in some brinkmanship. said get it done by x date or the price goes up as we are now in the league above as an attempt to try and hurry it along and the boat was missed? Seems like a theory that brings all the loose ends together...
Dalman apparently couldn’t get the funds together in time for the deadline I assume. Keep ‘em peeled at The Valley and training ground, as there might be some Chinese visitors apparently. Aussies waiting for Roland to see sense I think.

I still reckon that this £7m amount can be, and maybe has been, sorted out through negotiations (between RD and the buyers). I now think there's another amount that RD pulls out of his hat in the 11th hour, or the stage payments on future promotions etc, that have been mentioned, are a lot more than anyone realises.

Think you might be getting confused with season ticket sales.
