    I fully understand why NLA and others are saying that there won't be progress in this tedious takeover saga until we know what division we'll be playing in next year.

    But what seems strange to me is that RD hasn't moved to sack Robinson. Surely it would be in his best interests to try a new manager in a last-ditch push for the Championship? It's blatantly obvious that we're going nowhere with Robinson in charge.

    And how much would it cost to sack Robinson ?

    Nowhere near as much as the additional amount he could charge for the club if we were headed for the Championship. Admittedly it would be a punt, but if I was RD I would probably take it.

    But then promotion now would not just give us fans what we really want but with a takeover it would give us double what we want - Havent people said that the last thing Roland wants to do is to make us Charlton fans happy?

    He knows that the takeover will do that so he's probably hoping that the takeover will be completed a few days after we're doomed to another season in League One which he thinks will then leave us unhappy

    Its funny, I have a feeling he might have tried that trick before. Look, we ain't going anywhere under Duchatelet.

    Well yes, which is why I'm surprised he hasn't tried it again! I'm clutching at straws and hoping it's a sign that he's off soon.

    "its in RDs best interest -----" o dear we still need to get rid of the idea that there is LOGIC involved here or a business thought process ---- its EGO a big fat EGO backed up by £700 mil

    **Daisy in her first Managerial role or footie related role
    **Burger Boy
    **Geting rid of all the people with heritage knowledge and keeping the poodles
    **The manager merry go round
    **Karl Fraye
    **no CEO
    **no CFO

    and the largest of all NO FECKING INTEREST

    If we survive Rds nitemare whoever writes the book will have a best seller either in football World or up there with Stephen King (misery two)

    Nothing more than he is paying now if he just replaces him from within.

    Would either Jase, Bowyer or Jacko want the job? It's a poisoned chalice, personally I'd want my first crack as manager to have at least a fighting chance, any manager under Duchatelet is doomed to failure.

    I feel like more could be made in the media about the fact that we're currently functioning without a CEO and CFO.

    Less articles about Wet Spam and more about clubs in actual dire straits

    Pray tell me what manager in his right mind would want to take a job under Duchelet?

    People are fed up with CARD and more and more are backing the club.

    All protests are left wing conspiracies to get Powell in and their old jobs back.

    M. Duchatelet has made mistakes but he has learnt from them.

    Stop going on about past mistakes and get behind the team.

    M. Duchatelet saved the club and there are no other buyers out there. All lies to sell fanzines.

    We have a good CEO who gets abuse because she is a woman.

    Robinson has passion and who else would do a better job?

    Let's see where we are after the next transfer window.

    Kev, put Henry back on...

    Riga (twice), Peters, Luzon, Fraeye. Slade, Robinson....the fact of the matter is - it’s an easy pay off.....well apart from Poor old Karl, who is trying his best to get sacked, but Uncle Roly isn’t having it. Don’t forget Katrien had 20 applicants at one point.....she might have made that bit up... she was known for being economical with the truth.

    It was only 19 as she interviewed herself. She was the best candidate in her eyes until Uncle Roland hired Luzon

    Looked for an update on the takeover on cafc.co.uk, thinking there must be something official after last night’s Robinson rant. They haven’t bothered of course. There’s nothing but media watch sections on which the OS says: “In the News Shopper, Karl Robinson has provided a takeover update.” So last night’s Robinson interview becomes the club update.

    WIOTOS? It is. We are officially are a shambolic basket-case club that’s sending people’s careers ‘down the pan’.

    I remember watching the post-Burnley protest and being so saddened at what our great club had been reduced to. Surely it cant get worse? Of course it did because at Charlton, failure is policy. It seeps from every part of the club, from the ticket office to travel, from under-pitch heating to the performance on it, from the mouth of Robinson to the silence of Duchatalet. Everything is contaminated.

    Like so many others i’ve read this thread, - the poetry, the pot noodles and the infighting, everything - because somewhere hidden within it was the tender shard of a new dream.

    Right now we can’t even have that. We are a club with a proud past and no future.

    I wish I had a takeover rumour, I really do.

    Riga?

    Look, I'm not advocating it, just expressing surprise that he hasn't done it!

    Duchatelet wants to sell and couldn’t give two fucks about us. He hasn’t the football brains to see that shelving Robinson for a last throw of the dice at promotion might get him more money. Sacking Robinson would cost RD a lot of money. Money he doesn’t want to spend. If he’s still owner close season we’re well screwed. He’ll not commit any realistic budget for the team. That’s why I still think he’ll be gone May latest.

    Roly really doesn't give a toss about us, especially after all the protests both home and abroad, why should he? Surely no-one believes he is going to do us (the fans that is) any favours... he isn't going to change into the Good Fairy overnight.
    I daresay he spends a nanosecond a day thinking about Charlton. He is leaving it up to the lawyers and let's be fair, the longer they can drag it out the more money they (and probably he) can earn so why should he be in a hurry to sell the club?
    If he was that desperate about saving dosh he would have signed on the dotted line weeks' ago. The way things stand at the moment, if I was a prospective buyer, what's the incentive to complete the deal before the close of the season...or at least until the end of April?
    Every day just more and more depressing, endless suffering both on and off the pitch.

    Blimey, if you change your predictions from “it’s not happening” to “it’ll happen as soon as the division we’re in next season is clear” to “anytime in the next two years” then I concede with pretty much all bases now covered you must be really really ITK and really really cool
