    'Australian party have pretty much all but walked away I've just been told.

    Duchatelet actively looking for personnel to run the club next season.'

    Bexley Boy / Colin has called him a liar. It's all kicking off. Strange bunch.

    DOUCHER has said the same here. Although he may be Bexley Boy for all I know.

    From Angeldust.

    @JamesSeed time to bug them again.
    Oh hell. He nearly came round to watch the footy at mine, as I had some other old friends/parents from the school attending.

    Perhaps that’s why he couldn’t make it in the end. I’m not bugging him again though.
    come on James get out the Raspberry fool and sort the deal out.
  • I'm hoping that "pretty much all but walked away" is the clue here – i.e. they haven't walked away yet but are threatening to. Last minute brinksmanship?

    Clutching at straws I know... :persevere:

    Both from Bexley, but 2 different individuals

    These people Duchatelet puts in to run the club had better have skins as thick as Rhinos because surely everybody is fair game aren't they?
    I know there is a decent case to be made where the footsoldiers should be exempt but I hope we can identify the line where everybody above it is fair game for resistance related activities.
    There are grey areas though. I suppose it is the 'I was only following orders' group which may well include the football staff and the communications staff. My advice is to say absolutely nothing, and attribute all decisions to the exact person who made them, and attribute all communications to the exact source that instructed such communications be made or we ought to assume that the person who is shoved out front to be the public face is the author/decision maker.
    There is the beginning of propaganda already where we are expected to believe that Lee Bowyer is fully behind the fire sale that will rip what remains of Charlton Athletic apart.

    So it is you really then Lee?
    Then own the backlash which will only be stopped by win after win after win.

    We are entering a situation where not only is my enemy's friend my enemy, but my enemy's forces and employees are to be treated with suspicion if not hostility because of their association with the enemy.

    I would have thought that its perfectly clear why the takeover has stalled & the Aussies are baulking at the fee. I would imagine a fee was agreed before the "fit & proper" papers went to the EFL but just after they were passed by the EFL (after an adjustment or 2) f*ckwit RD decudes to sell Konsa......thus reducing the value of the club. They may have been ok with it if the money was going to be used for a replacment or spent on other areas of the team, but as it wasn't they had, imo, no other recourse but to offer less money.

    Furthermore, the longer it goes on the more players RD will sell & less the club is worth. Anyone who knows anything about football knows that you can't sell your best players & expect to pick up better, or even the same, on freebies or loans. The value of the club is reducing by the day.....we know that, the Aussies know that....someone had better tell RD that otherwise the only way we are going is down & then out

    I wonder how Murray will explain the Aussies walking away and when the 'British consortium' fail to materialise.

    Simple, he'll just tell another lie.

    @JamesSeed I know it’s probably tricky but a text to your Aussie friends could be timely now. Have they really walked away from the deal?

    Please forgive me for being naive, but why are there no business people willing to buy Charlton,apart from those already involved,is it because R.D want,s too much money?. Surely with Charlton,s history and potential someone would be willing to take a chance.

    I don't think you're clutching at straws - If 'Angeldust' or his source meant that the Aussies have actually walked away they would have said so.

    Whereas "pretty much all but walked away" indicates that they haven't walked away but are close to doing so and/or are threatening to.

    Realistically any people with a real business brain looking to make money will stay a million miles away from a football club.

    The idea that what’s happening is consensual and planned. Bauer would be a good example. Hard to say what’s really happening.
