FFS you lot. That line isn’t ground breaking, it’s just stating the bloody obvious. Any deal can fall through until finalised and IF it did of course RD would HAVE to make appointments.
So the news reports that Duchatelet may be obliged to appoint staff to run the gaff. Here comes the player sales, and here comes a beaming smile on Cojones face.
And that would end my 54 year love affair with our club
When the Takeover goes through, hopefully soon and this thread is over it will be the best thing to happen on the Charlton Life forum. So much false info and so many awful comedians that are just not funny. Hurry @efl get this done.
I wonder at what point RD will feel he has to act and appoint staff?
Currently, the first pre-season friendly is on 7th July. Therefore you have to assume that the players report back for pre-season on Monday 2nd July?
Would he appoint staff a week prior to this i.e. end of June? Or would he carry on hoping it goes through well into pre-season, and then potentially have to appoint staff only a week or two before the start of the season?
35mil seems a lot for a League 1 club that needs work, but its still only about 1/6 of Neymar.
Think you have to remember football has moved on and as the figures for the Premier League clubs show, the reward to get there will tempt people and also make clubs like ourselves more valuable.

I don't know what I'll do if the takeover goes through and this thread dies.

This thread will never be over - it has developed a life of its own and will continue to provide daily inspiration.
The suggestion that Duchatelet may appoint staff along with the fact that he got arsey with the ROT guys handing out leaflets in StTruiden makes me think that in his mind at least there is still a way to go. I really hope my gut is wrong.
I am with NLA on this one, if the consortium had the funds in place things would be moving/announced. It is nearly two weeks since we learned what league we will be playing in next season so no excuses for not knowing that info.
If this mob do manage to scrape up the funds to buy us and get us started next season I will not be expecting them to splash the cash to mount a promotion push.
Where we think now that were so close to a take over - any type of rumour/or news gossip is going to make us somewhat jumpy, that's a normal reaction. But, Roland in his wisdom has not as yet appointed anyone as CEO etc, no one of real relevance has stated the take-over has failed, so let's just keep believing it's going to happen soon, and I still believe it will.

I am hoping that somehow the ROT people can challenge the actions of the local police who said they needed a licence to campaign. Incidentally the quiz they created on their election leaflet was brilliant, well done guys. It looks increasingly like we need to marshall our resources to go after Roland some more, and more belligerently.

Not if the deal hung on the playoffs, still logical to assume its with the EFL assuming it ever was and that will take time
But if anything has been lodged with the EFL why is it not in the public domain? How many Leeds owners have been presented to the EFL for the fit & proper test, Sky & the BBC always report it before a decision is made.
Numerous other clubs have had foreign owners go through the fit & proper test and all have been reported in the press. The Sunderland deal was in the press long before it was ratified?

But that really doesn't make any sense. That's a bit like going out and using your life savings on buying a new Rolls Royce knowing that there's nothing left in the kitty to tax, insure or fuel it.
There is zero chance of any return on investment unless and until we attain Premier League status.
If they only have just enough to buy the club then they would surely just walk away. It doesn't look like they are doing that.
Maybe as suggested by various sources it’s with the EFL and we were waiting for Sunderland’s checks to be completed before they started on ours. As a consortium they’ll need to carry out the fit and proper test on every member. How big is the consortium? No one appears to know. It could take a few weeks for many reasons and not necessarily funding.
Maybe “it’ll go through once we know what league we’re in next season” was never really the case either.

And before anyone says that I said it would be this week, it was only what my person said, and I urged caution at the time I posted the info here.
Could still be this week of course.
Worth a Promote - surely?
Either,
Takeover announced: total joy
Takeover falls through (i.e starting next season with RD in charge): total despair
All we can do is wait. It's not like we haven't had lots of practice at that, is it?
I really hope my gut is wrong.
Until that was given it could not pass the EFL test as there was no deal to approve
I still dont believe they have the relevant funds required to run us in a way that will enable us to get out tod this league any time soon
And if they do they are not showing it in how long this is dragging on
