    I've tried to resist the urge to post on this thread so far but if there really is a due diligence process going on then that means any potential deal if there is one on the table could still go either way. Perhaps now would be a good time to try and fill the ground next week to add a little encouragement to any buyer should they need it. A very busy and rocking Valley could be just what's needed if the deal is in the balance.

    Surely if they're going through due diligence they've already decided and that would make little to no difference?

    Nice thought ltgtr but I think that’s a bit fanciful.

    Due diligence usually means potential buyers get to see the books - they sometimes don't make good reading and it's where buyers should also find out about any other negative shit that only the owner and manegement knows about and sometimes don't even realise themselves. They might need a little reminder of the potential they are buying into. Obviously at charlton everything is tickety boo so there are worries on that score. Still, might be nice to have a busy and noisy Valley, especially if there is a relatively full away end, and get three points that put us in 3rd place come 5pm next Saturday. Kids for a quid day as well isn't it. A reminder that price promotions work at charlton might be timely for any new owners to see.

    That's the spirit, if there is a potential deal happening we wouldn't want to do anything to encourage any buyers would we

    if it happens we just have to send daisy a massive leaving card, from CARD

    Or forget the constant bull shit personal attacks, Roland was the problem. She's just a symptom.
    Totally disagree. Can't be bothered to list everything's she's done and said as I'm hungover. But she is a huge problem and is in no way 'just a symptom'
    I know she's awful at her job but to an extent she is just a symptom. If we didn't have Roland, we wouldn't have Daisy.
    She could have done the decent thing and resign though.

    Pretty unusual for cafc Board to take the time to call the manager to 'deny' a takeover - methinks they doth protest too much.

    If they’ve already gone this far they’ll have been to The Valley several times already mate.....they won’t need anymore encouraging.....one way or the other.
    I always want to see a full and buzzing Valley and hope it will be but at this stage it won’t have a bearing on a buy out one way or another.

    I can't help noticing the upturn in the running of the club and Katriens 'low profile'. Surely not a coincidence.

    Something Rick hasn’t mentioned, I understand from a source close to the club that a potential key stumbling block in the due diligence process is the audit of vol-au-vent stocks and the disparity with recorded and actual stock levels.

    We might be in trouble.

    Knowing our luck, Roly & Katy would think it was a mass show of support for all their good work. Emotionally, Roly calls off the deal due to the obvious show of love from his Charlton children & vows to stay with us forever, even when he takes us part-time - to Katy's obvious delight - in the Vanarama League!!

    My financial understanding is limited.
    However when you are thinking of buying a house due diligence is usually the survey.
    If the survey finds you will need to spend 10k on repairs, you then offer 10k less than first suggested.
    Don't you?

    Yes, it can be just a valuation issue which may be overcome by the seller accepting a lower valuation. But it can also be showstoppers, you might pull out of the house purchase if for example the search identifies it’s 200 yards from a proposed new high speed rail line!

    I live on Jerrard Street, which has an Asda on it where you can buy chinese food...

    So it looks like it's going to be a joint bid from an Aussie, Red Bull, Walmart and some Chinese guys

    But then the buyer might say no.
