If this is true I would suggest if RD thinks he's got a bit of trouble now, he'll have one hell of a shock of whats likely to come should Lookman and/or JBG go. As I said elsewhere we are being run by a man who is either mentally unstable or thinks he can win a losing battle then the war!!

You misjudge him. He is simply arrogant on a Donald Trump scale (just look at RD's failed political ambitions for evidence). So he sees this as good business AND he will bring in youth players from elsewhere in his empire to spur us on to greater things.
I'd take relegation and selling Lookman, JBG etc if it meant we start again without RD and KM. Let's be honest JBG may be a good player on his day but when did he last have his day? Lookman is young and although has potential I think him moving to a PL club won't be a great move on his part just yet.
There is such a high turn around of playing staff these days I told myself not to get too attached to any players since Yann was sold.
Smart move. Sell the players now when they have a 'reasonable' value as opposed to next year in league 1 when they will be worth f... All.
So it is, in effect, an admission from the club we are going down?
Personally I think it is exactly that if true. He will not get value in the lower league for these players and it reduces the wage bill prior to relegation.

Which also means we will only look to sign Division 1 players in January, or hope to get some others on loans until the end of the season. Any how will the fragrant Ms Meire spin that?
Every day things just get better and better. I expect Meire to announce a revolutionary ground-sharing with Crystal Palace any day ....
That's not a bad idea actually. Their ground is not in good shape and will require millions spent on it to bring it up to 1980's standards. They don't own adjacent land to their ground and may have difficulty obtaining safety certificates for the wooden shed side. This could be the way forward for modern football, sharing stadium costs. Maybe as we don't need so much ticketing office space they could bunk up in there with the nhs. The "customers " of Cryhstal Palarse are well served with transport links, empty roads, only 2 changes of trains and the good old express 75 bus. You never know Belgiums don't care about history.
So let's say Watt is nailed on as a £1m departure, then if Roland only managed to get another million for Lookman, JBG and Vetokele then surely he'd have to win some kind of bad businessman award. Only raising a million for those three would be one step away from swapping them for some magic beans
Cash strapped club???!!!!! He's comfortably our richest owner ever, we're not poor he's just a dickhead. The media doesn't care or bother to look in to clubs like us.
''They are desperate for striker Tony Watt’s loan move to Cardiff to become a permanent one, bringing in around £1m.''
Really intelligent of RD releasing this, Cardiff will probably lower their offer to £500,000 and get him for that. No other football club could be so stupid!! Is this down to Meire?
Our owner has over £500m why does he need to sell any of our players?.
I THOUGHT EVERYONE UNDERSTOOD.
HE DOES NOT WANT TO LOSE MONEY ON CHARLTON. HIS AIM IS TO BREAK EVEN, WHICH MEANS NOT LOSING MONEY.
HE WILL ACHIEVE THIS BY SELLING OUR PLAYERS. HE NEEDS TO ACHIEVE ABOUT £5M WORTH (NET) OF PLAYER SALES EACH YEAR IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP. PROBABLY MORE LIKE £10M IN LEAGUE 1.
The bloke writing the article knows nothing, he heard the £1mil for watt figure from the SLP and the demand for Lookman from various papers. He then put two and two together and assumed we must be going bust. With this he added Gudmundsson and Vetokele because they were good last year.

It would appear Watt is playing much better at Cardiff. Our club is sapping the energy and confidence of a good number of players at the moment. JBG will do a lot better somewhere else, as will Lookman and indeed Fox (if anyone will take him). I've just read on Twitter that Moussa is off back to Coventry on loan. What's the bet he'll go there and never tweak a muscle and score a hatful of goals? In short, we are an absolute joke of a club now. Other clubs are circling above is like vultures. Our prize assets are being picked off. However, I'm hoping the gruesome twosome take themselves off back across the Channel after this and 2016 is the start of a better era. Happy New Year.

Also, if you sell Lookman or JBG, the number of season ticket renewals plummets to around 30.

HE HAS NO INTEREST IN FOOTBALL.
HIS BUSINESS IS TRADING FOOTBALL PLAYERS.

Igor isn't even playing.
