    surprised there has been so little reaction to Angeldusts revelation that one of the parties has walked. Have we become so numb to it all ?

    Yes.
  • I'll repeat what I said recently. RD doesn't do failure, so he'll hang on in the hope we are promoted, to claim he was successful.

    Of course he does. Look at us, we're a failure in every department.

    Exactly - all promotion would do is take us back to where he found us 4 years ago..... but leaving a us far more damaged.

    Doh! I'm quoting RD, not my/everyone's view.

    I'm just waiting for the moment The Great Cardigan can finally post a gif on here, pointing me in the direction of the Offical site. Until then I'll just enjoy the pot noodle and poetry.
  • Didn't we have a new consortium sniffing around a couple of weeks ago who had started DD ? If so I believe that that was 3 in the mix. One has walked still leaves two

    I have tried to help him with that, you can lead a horse to the trough but...........ah! talking of horses (for courses) sounds like a nice little project for @Stig :wink: .
  • It'll soon be page 666, just saying.

    So was I ;-)

    Maybe Henry could get his promote when it hits 666?

    Hard to get excited either way when we know so little about ANY of the bidders these last few momths. We knew more about Zabeel in the short period when they were linked to us

    Here is a very poor effort....

    We haven't had any poetry recently
    The team haven't even been playing decently
    We got one more chance
    For Roland to dance
    Before he's finally gone, isn't he?

    Ok well what the hell else rhymes with recently!?

    Aren't you quoting Meire? I seem to recall there's an interview on here somewhere in which RD talks openly about his business failure in the past.

    Edited. Yes I've found it again. Here it is (in English at the back) ec.europa.eu/employment_social/2010againstpoverty/export/sites/default/downloads/Journalist_Award/JA_BE.pdf

    It's an interesting read. He admits to losing his job and his first company going bankrupt. He's a man who has come up with a vast amount of crap on a vast number of topics but I don't believe he thinks he's got superpowers!

    Facebook reminded me that a year ago today, I excitedly posted about our imminent takeover. It was an entire year ago. Ffs. Will we still be here on this tedious thread in another year's time?
  • I guess I am one of very few who simply will no longer believe that anything is happening or even near happening until it is officially announced and will not lose another ounce of energy on the 1000th rumor, even if this time it turns out to be true.

    Nyet! Nyet! No more! Not tonight!

    If only there was some pithy phrase to sum up this stance that could then be shortened into a set of initials for even easier use.

    Now a year and a day since the press article that started this thread.

    And still no takeover

    Surely we have not got to wait until April 1st :smiley:

    Probably. Because at no stage have I ever believed that anyone would meet the lunatics insane valuations - and that ain't changed.

    How about: IFTWSPPTSUTSTCTBSIASOIFEEU?

    DIGAP?

    Had a Canary
    Up the leg of her drawers
    When she farted
    It departed
    To a round of applause
    and now it lives up yours

  • The guy is simply a sociopath..
    ..no need for further analysis.
    They come in many guises and can fit into society without being noticed.
    They have no real empathy with their fellow man.
    Any perceived emotions of any kind are simply learned by them rather than felt by them in order to fit into society and have an easier life.....but its all fake and just for show.
    I and a few others have been stressing this opinion for sometime.
    You are actually dealing with someone who GENUINELY doesn't give a shyte about The Addicks....not out of spite but because he simply doesn't have the mental capacity.
    Even his wife/partner has mentioned in interviews that he shows little understanding of the feelings and emotions of others!
  • This is as I see it.

    Charlton are losing somewhere between 8 and 12 million per season.

    Armed with that knowledge any potential buyers would want to purchase the club at a reasonably low price say 20 or 30 million.

    Douchbag by continuing to ask for 40 or 50 million is being completely unreasonable and that is why in my humble opinion that this takeover thread is now one year old.

    Nobody in their right mind is going to pay that sort of money for a club in league one with the running costs being as they are so until he lowers the price we are stuck with him.
