On Kent Live paper, Clive Youlton idiot question poll. Do you want Duchatelet in the championship or without Duchatelet in League One ? The whole point is that Charlton are not going anywhere with Duchatelet. Is Clive Youlton on a Duchatelet Pitch retainer or something ?

We had Duchatelet in The Championship and look what happened.
I think Doucher, Red Henry and Airman Brown are the new owners. They just can’t decide which one of them is going to take Meire’s role in sitting next to Sue Parkes.
NEWSFLASH: Katrien Meire has taken over ownership of Charlton Athletic Football Club from the 1st January 2018. Previous owner Roland Out has agreed to sell the cloob to his previous CEO due to her wonderful vision and how she has taken Charlton Athletic forward as a progressive club since she first arrived. The whole club was sold for €1.5m as a present from Roland Out and in order for her to invest heavily in the January transfer market to beef up the team for promotion to the championship.
If no takeover gets announced over the weekend (which I doubt it would) it will be interesting to see whose in the directors box against Gillingham for any clues.
Yep, which was what I said yesterday. I think this is done. And if the £20M is true, and you add on the £57.5M of debt the new owners will have to take on or pay back, that would bring the enterprise value to £77.5M range I was predicting. (wink wink).
When I woke up I saw this thread had 96 new posts and the thread was not at the top. I knew right away the deal was not announced yet. Because when it is I will wake up to 500 new posts on the thread!

Please someone make him stop
That's what happens when a yank decides to follow a club that he has no affinity with & only chose it because he liked the name & the badge. Probably thought it was owned by Charlton Heston.

Roland Duchâtelet, the controversial owner of Charlton Athletic, has put the club up for sale and admitted that he should not have invested in football.
The Belgian bought Charlton nearly four years ago when they were in the Championship but has faced strong protests from supporters in recent seasons over the way that he has run the club, who are now in League One.
CARD (Coalition Against Roland Duchâtelet), a supporters’ group, have put pressure on him to either invest or sell his stake in the club. Stunts have included a mock funeral being held before kick-off, beach balls being thrown on the pitch and a pitch invasion.
Until now, Duchâtelet,71, had been adamant that he would not sell Charlton.
“I have not decided anything, I am open to possible offers, I will take the time to think, but contrary to popular belief I have not made any money from football, this rarely happens for investors, those who say otherwise are wrong,” Duchâtelet said.
Duchâtelet has controlled clubs in Germany, Spain and Hungary. He was forced to sell Standard Liège, the Belgian club, in 2015 when repeated fan protests turned aggressive. There were clashes with police near the stadium, a group of fans broke into Duchâtelet’s office and others stormed an event for sponsors, who had to ask the media to help them to safety.
Liège fans had similar grievances to Charlton’s, including the lack of reinvestment from the sale of their best players, such as Axel Witsel, and the sacking of favoured managers.
Duchâtelet sold Saint-Trond, the Belgian club, last month.
“It’s not that I’m fed up, I have other activities and my age,” he said. “Actually, I wanted to leave football after the sale of the Standard Liège. Football is an exciting world, but very complex: there is a lot of underground influences, we decide a lot about emotions, we make and break your image on the basis of rumours, social networks create real background slides that are difficult to answer.
“It was an interesting experience and I learned a lot about how social media have an impact on the psychology of masses and how they can influence decisions which affect many people.”
Looking at things from a different angle.
KM hands in notice towards the end of November. A few days later Duche states that he is looking to get out of football. Towards the end of December it is announced that KM is leaving after serving a months notice. Is Duche only selling because KM is going?
