Roland’s very small window between the playoffs and the start of the season, in which he’ll get the most for the club is almost over. Price only going south from here on in. IDIOT29

Pretty club on the hood of the Championship, yeah
Takeover’s broken down on freeway nine
I take a look and get the process started
I leave her purring and I roll on by, bye bye
Free club on the free club freeway
The club is free and the freeway's long
I got some hot club on the hot-club highway
I ain't taken over cos' the chance has gone

Still got it saved on Sky. Now it is turning from an example of un-abounded joy and hope into a horrific tale of what might of been IF we were not owned by an incompetent vindictive footballing liabilty.

I believe Dalman used to own 2% of Man U which would equate to most of the asking price. The problem, like Aussies will be forward funding, which Dalman is better connected to deliver.0

Get Bowyer and Gallan to sell the club. They seem to know how to get deals over the line.7

Just a theory. Maybe the clean title bs is all down to Roland wanting to stuff a lot of the starprix debt on the assets? So he wants 33 million for the assets with his operating losses in secured debt. Hence all the noise with the ex directors loans.2

Really hope a takeover is done this month however I feel Roland is toying with us as revenge for the personal embarrassment he has suffered
In business, if things don't work out you take a hit and move on at any cost if you can afford to, Roland can so there's absolutely no reason why this business shouldn't have been sold by now, he can lose 20-30 million no problem and walk away from the stress
So my conclusion is either he's playing a sick game
Or the potential buyers are the problem
Reading his un outhadox statements on the os etc, to me he's a ducking rat playing a game1 -
To Nappa Addick,yes we did have a highly valued squad,but what was our outlay,this squad was assembled with great skill by Bowyer and his team,and was made up of some excellent loan signings,frees(Taylor was a masterstroke).Look what sunderland spent on Grigg,and for what,Cattermole earns 30000 + per week,so throwing money does not guarantee success.On a personal note i am afraid one of my pet gripes in life is what average footballers are paid,and I just wish that clubs would stand up to these players and refuse to pay over the top.we have just signed 2 very good league 1 players who are chomping at the bit to improve themselves,we have 2/3 young lads who debuted last year who I am sure will make the grade in the championship.I am the eternal optimist where charlton are concerned,and have every confidence we will,in spite of our owner,have a decent season.Best wishes thick and thin 634

Another possible is that he wants security against further payments due. I.e. 33m upfront or £40m in installments but secured against the assets in case of non-payment which would also cover the director loans allowing free title once all monies paid?objectivecafc said:Just a theory.

Assuming RD is introducing surprise outstanding debt or upping the price at the final hurdle, why does he think someone is gonna accept it, after essentially agreeing the full and final price at the start?
All this just makes me think that anyone who completes, accepting his ridiculous demands, ain't gonna be any better than him tbh3 -
All this, plus he’s slagged off all current and future owners of Championship clubs as mad.i_b_b_o_r_g said:Assuming RD is introducing surprise outstanding debt or upping the price at the final hurdle, why does he think someone is gonna accept it, after essentially agreeing the full and final price at the start?

The man is clearly an idiot and how he has made any money in his life is beyond me.0 -

The one and only pleasing thing I have taken from this thread in recent days is the admirable term ‘wankpuffin’ from AddickUpNorth.
Well played, that man!

Interesting that there is still nothing in the Cardiff press. You would think that it would be pretty hot news there.4

If he’s officially withdrawn from the deal, as it appears to be said by the ES, then that’s a story for Cardiff fansChizz said:"Cardiff Chairman Continues To Be Cardiff Chairman"

Something is going down!! Why would Roly sanction a fee plus 3 year deal for a player if he’s leaving? Is he staying? Is he gonna go and Dalman or other potential owner sanctioned it?6

Roland is simply dangling us on a string, isn’t he?! I really can’t see an end to this while the old scrote is still breathing.0
