If the bid had been accepted, we would probably know something by now. It is what Airman and others have been saying all along, Roland wants too much money. It is irrelevant if he says he is trying to sell or not, if his price is not reasonable, he might as well not be selling.5

I just want it to be over so we can go back to arguing about why Williams doesn’t score more goals.soapboxsam said:
Jimmy, as you have by far the best DNA on CL it's good that your in the outer loop.JamesSeed said:
Well that was true at one time. But it’s weird how many people suddenly want to swap/share info when you have a primary source.soapboxsam said:
As you only have one contact...JamesSeed said:
Can't say who, but it's someone closely connected to one of the bidders.carly burn said:
Says who?JamesSeed said:
He definitely rejected £35m last week.ShootersHillGuru said:
Surely that can’t be right. There is allegedly a BID of £30 million.carly burn said:
He has. More than £30 mill.soapboxsam said:David White is an Ex director and said he has never met the owner, so unlike Richard Murray isn't in the inner loop.
Bob Whitehand is an ex PLC vice Chairman and isn't in the inner loop.
White and Whitehand can have their opinions BUT only Murray and LDT are in the inner loop and they are struggling to understand the ramblings of Duchatelet.
At least the standard story is pro active in trying to get Roland to reveal WTF or how much he wants.
There was me thinking that once Katrien Meire left we had about a year left of RD tenure.
I believe it was the seller that pushed this out there. Not the other way round.
Only Roland left in the inner loop, as both Murray and LDT are discombobulated by the antics and sayings of Mr Douchebag.
Ps. More loopy than loop.
I’d like GM’s mob to buy the club, but if some merchant banker steps in ahead of him I’m good with that. Who needs a padded seat with extra leg room anyway. I like sitting where my dad used to stand post WW2.
[That was always a joke about the directors' box obviously, but just saw on another forum that they think I'm after a job or something lol].

Roland Duchatelet and Richard Murray if you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?

If what David White writes is true then we are surely doomed. All that's keeping most of us going is the hope of a takeover in the (near-ish) future. Yes, I know 'it's the hope that kills you' - but take that away and what's the point?

Roland “playing smoke and mirrors” - have you listened to the guy and read the nonsense he puts out? There are a lot of assumptions made about his responsibility for past stories but, including Jim White in January, they are wrong.Stu_of_Kunming said:

Roland doesn’t want to sell at £30m. If he did he’d be gone already. He has no interest in the discussion about his valuation being exposed, and he certainly doesn’t need to plant a story in the Standard to deter protests, which we are repeatedly told he doesn’t care about anyway. What protests?
The journalists at the Standard are not idiots and they are not in his pocket either. They know who their source is and on this one I trust them. Much easier for Roland to use the FF if he wants to control the message. The story will be there for a reason but it’s not Roland behind the mirror, whoever it is.

Jordan speculated on Talk Sport that the value was 20 to 30m, but then clarified the next day, saying he had spoken to a few people, and thought it was nearer 50m. What is your information/guess on the figure Airman? I would be interested to know, as well as your confidence in it.0

On that basis I conclude that whoever is behind the bid has gone public with £30 million on the basis that they know it will be rejected but with the intent of flushing Roland out of his tower and commit to a price he does want. It’s unlikely to get us any closer to a sale but will show Duchatelet up for the mad deluded fruitlob he is.5 -
Given that the club can only be worth what people are prepared to pay for it - it seems its value is around £30m. My instinct would be lower, but there do seem to be buyers at that price. There can only be one reason for Roland thinking it is worth so much more than he paid for it and that is real estate values have risen. But surely real estate is irrelevant in our case unless there is a way for it to be realised.2

How ironic that we now find ourselves with Mr Jordan as a moral ally, whilst Mr. Murray is conspicuous by his silence.
Mind you, I would like to volunteer to tie his tongue to the back of a bus and drag him to Charlton, whilst singing the shalala song all the way

As Bob says at £30m with clean title or roll over the ex directors loans and £23m and they’ll be a buyer at around that figure. I personally would go above £20m but that’s immaterial as right now I couldn’t go above £200k
The only way I can see much more than that is if a billionaire is desperate to buy Charlton. The fact ones not appeared in the last 18 months indicates there’s not one.3
