The situation heated up again last Sunday when a party, including an Australian investor in his mid-30s with Aussie Rules connections, was shown around the training ground and The Valley by Duchâtelet’s point man Lieven De Turck – particularly remarkable given the time of year and the fact that he only usually visits from Belgium in midweek.
VOTV soon heard that the group had been introduced as “the new owners” who would be announced in the next few days, however accurate that might ultimately prove to be, but we waited until we could get further independent confirmation of the visit before disclosing it on Tuesday via Twitter.
When is April Fools Day in Belgium? Just checking.....
Imagine that, website goes down and there’s a big announcement story when it comes back up and it’s just a picture Roland with the caption “GOTCHA DICKHEADS”
A made up rumour to sell more copies of VOTV on Saturday, right?
Why would it be a made up rumour to sell his mag when he's just put it online for everyone to see now if he had said takeover news in this week's mag and not posted the story maybe he would be trying to sell it

I agree, I was just getting there before the CARD/Airman haters do. Maybe I should have added a wink face...

My wife asked me recently "do you miss going to charlton".My answer was "no not really".I have replaced it with a regular game of golf and have a tee time booked as usual for this saturday at 10.07. When this latest rumour started gathering speed I noticed that I was already planning in my head to phone my playing partners up to "cry off" and return to the valley on saturday for the sunderland match.If the sale goes through I will be there .I wont be able to stop myself as I am hopelessly addicted to the mighty reds.If the rumours dont materialise I will revert to the golf course until the rat departs. I suppose after 35 years of marriage she knows I lied to her when I said I didnt miss going to charlton.It is in my blood and has been since september 1967.It hurts like hell to see what Roland [and Katrien] have done in 5 short years but I will be back the second he is gone.

Indeed it is; the sword in our badge comes from the arms of the City of London and is rumoured to be that used to kill Wat Tyler, one of the leaders of the Peasants' Revolt.
It may or may not be true, but it's a good story and hopefully a good omen

In the year 1381 the peasants revolt took place.
It's an omen, I tell ya.

I wonder who's next.
