This looks bad - we assumed Konsa sale was agreed with new owners. You don't agree to sell a house, then sell the garage to somebody else before completion!
I personally see this as a threat from Roland to say hurry up to the buyers, as in “I’m going to plan for next season as if you’re not completing the takeover so cough up now”. That’s about as positive as it gets.
Maybe we are at the do or die bit. All played out in secret! if I was the new buyer, I would value Konsa at £4m and knock that off the price and say take it or leave it!

Can you not see it as “right you’ve taken too long I’m taking the curtains with me now” ? Just a thought?
is see it as the greedy fucker is squeezing every penny he can, in doing so he might jeopardise the sale.
Konsa was always likely to be off as Bowyer said himself in January. however I bet the aussies would rather have had the money from it than Roland. if this is an issue I don't know how anyone could ever do business with Duchatelet. the aussies unfortunately might feel the same.

RD patience wearing thin actually tells me that the Aussies are pissing around and not the other way round.
I reckon completely the opposite. RD has form for doing this (Standard Leige) & sees it as his revenge.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Aussies are trying to reduce the price if he is now selling off the players. For all we know Konsa might have been one of their bets for centre half & they now need to spend money in a dept they thought they were covered or the may have even earmarked him to be sold (at a higher price ?) & use the money for replacements (plural).
Back to our good old house analogy......if on the day before completion you found that your vendor had just ripped out thd kitchen don't you think you'd want to renegotiate the price ???

Yes, but Konsa is expensive curtains!
" Curtains for Roland" has a pleasing ring to it IMO.
Getting a sense of Deja Vous now. I can remember the total feeling of despondency when the Zabeel deal fell through. Really thought we were going to see the back of the old scroat by the end of this week. If he’s getting rid of more staff, can’t see the retainers wanting to hang around for too much longer which leaves the club in total disarray. I pray he’s not breaking us up and liquidating the club to get his money back
Are we 100% clear that the reason this hasn’t been wrapped up is with RD?
Because that may well not be the case.
Like maybe not showing they have monies

Surely, you don’t pass the fit and proper persons test without having funds, it’s a key part of passing it.
Good point but as much as we've been told the fit and proper persons test has been passed we've not seen any news of this reported anywhere officially have we.
Now would be a great time to go on holiday for two weeks with no access to Charlton life or the #CAFC Hash tag, massive sigh, actually sucked some of the enthusiasm out of me for the World Cup.

I really think it’s way too late in the game for that. We all know what a stubborn old prick RD is. He will completely asset strip the club before even contemplating dropping the price.
In the time it's taken me to make some (rubbish) flapjack, all hell has broken loose.
It really really don't want to contact my fella again, but I guess I'll have to.
Positive spin?
We don't really know anything except that Konsa has been sold. We don't know for sure that RD is swiping the money. Can't imagine for a minute that he can do that can he, if a price has been agreed? Not without it being deducted from the price?
But surely the worst scenario for RD is for this drag on! He still has to fund the club while hes here, so hes just pissing more of his own money away the longer it takes? The Konsa sale would cover maybe a single month of losses for him at best?

I've now become a gibbering idiot.
If he doesn’t sell this summer then Belgium here we come.

Depressing!
Other clubs the takeover is complete pending a fit and proper persons test
We are doing the fit and proper yet no deal has been done (it would seem ) so surely the delay is on the buyers side not the sellers
There’s no evidence in the public domain to suggest this delay is caused by RD

I wonder where Crawley's info is coming from.
We have to pray the Aussies aren't walking away.
