    A mate who works at another London club told me that there is a rumour doing the rounds that Roland agreed a price based on the club as it stood each time yet continued to sell players without Aussie agreement.

    Wouldn't surprise me at all
  • There's a British consortium too???

    The "We're doomed" one is about right...
  • Can't believe it's been 14 months.

    Can you remember what you were doing when you heard?
    Yes, I was reading the Daily Mail

    I can’t, I’m not around today. If Henry or someone else kindly does one, I’ll pin it to the bite size thread

  • Fuck this, I’m off to the butchers to buy bacon and white pudding for breakfast.

    Have no idea what this deal amitri song is that NLA keeps referring to. Am hoping I don’t hear about it ever again.

    Oh and Richard Murray, don’t bother showing your face at Charlton again

  • Doctor kish saying about Igor next season being loaned out again to cut wages. Don’t understand this because his at his own club in Belgium so his still paying his wages.you think Charlton would be able to afford the wages more than a small club in Belgium.he must think there need is bigger than ours.
  • As I understand it

    - RD got hump with Aussies not getting things done quick enough.

    - Aussies got hump cos RD has made some decisions to cover his "expenses" over the time the Aussies are taking.

    - Now there's another "party" in the mix (or this may have been the case all the time).



    Question - I'm sure I've heard well known and respected football club owners, past and present, say that you won't earn dough through owning a football club. I think I've heard the phrase "financial suicide". So, how do they go about getting other investors? What's the attraction?
  • I suspect the other party RD has mentioned is a figment of his imagination. Yes there may be a tentative interest behind it, but he has built it up to something more to pressure the realistic bidders!
  • Maybe the British bid has been mentioned is just to hurry up the Aussies...

    he no longer owns Still Truiden
  • What I can't comprehend is why did the EFL undertake the fit and proper person test if the selling price had not been agreed?

    Surely the price had been agreed and to use the moving house analogy, binding contracts had been exchanged? The only way to avoid completion is if the buyer fails to produce the money.

    It can't be because of gazumping. The only possible thing is if this so called other bid was also at the EFL for approval. I don't buy this as someone ie @Addickted would have heard.

    Hence my confusion.

    Roland is a nutter
  • Maybe the British bid has been mentioned is just to hurry up the Aussies...

    this also happened about 4 months ago so hasn't really worked
  • The way I see it, the Aussies are stalling for whatever reason. RD is trying to hurry them up with player sales, a mythical 'British consortium' and appointing Bowyer. Have a feeling it will either be done or be off by 5PM today.
  • This so called ‘British consortium’, which I believe only Murray has spoke of. He first mentioned this, what four months ago.

    Is Murray a central part of this consortium? Is that why so little has leaked out about, if it does exist?

    It doesn't exist, that's why.

    It's a seller's trick.

    Remember the disinformation, the deliberate leaks to find leakers.

    WIOTOS, that is the bottom line. Everything else is gossip.
    I keep telling you the 'British Consortium' is me.

    I made an official bid to RD to purchase the Club back in September and upped my offer two weeks later as I had no response to my official bid.

    I have a draft contract drawn up, I do not wish to progress further with any DD, my credentials are sound enough to pass the EFL fit and proper test and as a gesture of goodwill I even volunteered a holding deposit of £100 sterling for a period of exclusivity rights.


    @nth london addick has agreed to be my fans board representative and I will hire @Goonerhater on a short term contract to carry out a review all employees for my change management plans.

    Macauley Culkin isn’t British. If you swapped him for Yvette Fielding then I’d consider your gif accurate.
    Only British people can react to news about the takeover?
    I thought the gif was his suggestion of those involved in the British takeover, but you knew that ya goof
  • Ketts suggesting RD has gone home to Belgium after yesterday’s meeting with Muir.

    Can I work every other Tuesday in the club shop? Always wanted to have a go on that massive iron. £5/hr or mates rates, whatever’s the lower?
