    Sums it all up imo
  • Maybe it is DW who is the mystery bidder just got this back as an approval document from our lawyers 



    go on whitey

    Would defo be on board with this mate.

  • My. Personal opinion is this bid is a fake as the Aussies bid. Built my hopes up too much. When it happens it happens 
  • Everyone will want a slice of this deal.
    Henry, the cereal offender.
  • 1563, The English surrender Le Havre to the French.
    Just think how many wars wouldn't have happened if we'd managed to keep hold of the large parts of France we used to have.

    Just a random guy from Australia who happened to be wearing a CAFC scarf at a Charlton game.
    Thanks for clearing that up.
  • Fake takeover news to stop the protest tomorrow.

    I think the last five years gives you ample evidence.

  • 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?
  • As the new owner D can I ask, if the coo is high on the list for first one out the door?
    😜👍

    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.
  • 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.

  • 1568, Mary, Queen of Scots flees to England.
  • 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 :smiley:

    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.
  • 1568, Mary, Queen of Scots flees to England.
    Wonder if she pissed in the fountains in Trafalgar Square, or swung from the crossbar at the olde Wembley.
    Were all part of Mary's army, we all going tae Wembley

  • 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.
    The Sprat to catch the Mackerel eh?

    What is puzzling is why the Aussies haven't walked away. And if they have, why it took them so long to do so. Logic would say, they are not far from the price agreement wise but haven't got the money. If they thought Roland was asking too much, why wouldn't they walk away sooner? There is a lot about all of this that doesn't make sense. Is there presence more helpful to Roland than us? I don't know. There seems to be more questions than answers.

    They haven't walked away Mutters. Been over this before a few times recently, but it's obvious why they haven't walked away. Not saying it might not be a bad tactic to get him to lower his price, but it might look a bit obvious, and he'd probably call their bluff.
  • When you walk away, you can always walk back. Sorry James, I might have missed it. Can you tell me the obvious reason.
