GM didn’t tell me stuff in order for it to be passed on I assure you. Had to persuade him to let me. You’re all sooooooo cynical lolHenry Irving said:

Unfortunately mate, once a name is out there it’s out there, as I should know.Taxi_Lad said:Perhaps KHs name could be kept out of he FF? Just refer to him as a source. He could put it in a complaint about me to mytaxi albeit unlikely
But also don’t risk Roland going batshit about breaking the NDA and pulling the plug like with the Forest fella
It’ll be fine. If he was that bothered he wouldn’t have told a Charlton fan anything. Or he might have said don’t tell anyone, or I’ll .....0 -
Maybe not
I seem to have two quote buttos and some fancy icons

It's OK. Relax. I'm quite sure Tom (Rubbershoes) of Charlton doesn't read this site.
At least, not very often.
There's very little chance this will all get back to Roland.

Should have elaborated. He doesn't want to be seen to have failed financiallyFerryman said:
Then why is restoring us to The Championship, where we were when he purchased, not a priority?foresthillred said:
Have either of you two met him? I don't believe he gets real pleasure out of anything. He just doesn't want to be seen to have failed.soapboxsam said:
NLA, well that's two of us who think he is getting perverse pleasure out of the situation. Other CL members don't. TBF they are intelligent fans(in some cases !) who go home and away. Why didn't he get rid otherwise when his muse left for 25 to 30 million which was apparently on the table with some small negotiations on monies owed to ex directors which must happen at other football club as well when they are being sold.nth london addick said:he is definitely enjoying it 100%
This is the true RD the stubborn mean vindictive spiteful cold heartless bastd that made him a billionaire
Duchatelet couldn't have got where he is today (net worth 500 million) if he didn't know when to buy and sell and cut your losses when need be and move on.

Some great news that can be passed back to Rolly! Loads of us think he has been masterful in his financial dealings. He may have made losses in one or two areas, but has certainly been unique in his transfer dealings and cashed in at a right time that others before had not recognised.foresthillred said:

One also has to consider the huge PR gains he has made. Before he took over our great club, nobody had ever heard of him, his companies, or Belgium.
Now he is a household name, radio personality and football guru. His political and social views have been studied and discussed, and his spurning of vulgar displays of wealth and privilege applauded. Tourism to Belgium has increased and bookings at some hotels has been at all time highs for months.
The cost of getting all this great stuff out there would have been huge, and, I would suggest, not as successful. Prague maybe able to put better numbers on it, but I would guess the advertising costs would be on the £100’s of millions.
All can see what a visionary he is by getting all this at such price. A hugely successful guy. Well done!
Now fuck off.23 -
That James Seed huh? After we named a stand after his family and everything huh? despite the wonderful Katrien saying that we don't respect dear history of dear clob!

Wow!!!! 12hrs 11mins between posts on this mighty thread during the day, that must be some kind of record, is this the calm before the storm?0

I've been told that one of the bidders will be present on Saturday.
Let's hope there are some cameras aimed at the Directors box to aid identification.
