Slow down there. You need to pick a conspiracy theory and stick with it. Or are you suggesting that Jim White, RD and the Aussies are all in it together just so they can 'play' us?eaststandmike said:Mendonca In Asdas said:Jim whites been played, and further down the food chain that is charlton , we’re being played as well,it’s just your normal transfer window, at ease everyone.
I would love to be proved wrong but if this turns out to be fabrication then Jim Whites show should be boycotted and the Aussies should be given a clear message to fuck off and stop wasting everyone's time.
They need to put up or shut up.

If the message that Roland has planted with Jim White turns out to be a fabrication, then the Aussies should be told to f*** off?eaststandmike said:
This sums it up for me. Roland is Jim Whites new best friend, Jim's last interview with Roland showed that the anger had gone about our situation and had been replaced with telling us what a lovely man Roland is.Mendonca In Asdas said:Jim whites been played, and further down the food chain that is charlton , we’re being played as well,it’s just your normal transfer window, at ease everyone.

There you go again. Trying to put some logic into the things Duchatelet does.Airman Brown said:
Why does he need to do that at all, and do it via national radio and the only UK media person with whom he has established a rapport though? It is also coming out via Lee Bowyer (in the Standard and privately), staff at The Valley, at least one ex-director and the Sunday tour of the facilities, as well as via other posters on here.We are J Block said:Airman Brown said:
But to what end? You can’t argue that someone is being “played” without there being a purpose and nobody has advanced one that fits the facts.Mendonca In Asdas said:Jim whites been played, and further down the food chain that is charlton , we’re being played as well,it’s just your normal transfer window, at ease everyone.

Could it be that Roland has decided to put this news out there as an excuse not to reinvest in the squad during the January transfer window? He has used an imminent takeover as an excuse in previous windows and may want to make it sound imminent to cover himself during January?Airman Brown said:

It’s a very elaborate subterfuge when he has the FF next week at which he could get De Turck to put out any message he wants.
You of all people should know better than that.3 -
Not just the massage from Jim White but all the other messing about. It is clear Muir does not want to spend his own money so if he is still in the frame he is looking for investors to use their cash rather than his own.Chizz said:

Really?
Its crowd funding for rich people, do we really want to be owned by multiple investors instead of one or maybe two. What happens when they all fall out, disagree and want their money back?
I have a bad feeling about the Aussies and fear we will be no better off if they somehow manage to get a deal across the line.1 -
But there is no smoke without fire.RedChaser said:It's people's defence mechanism kicking in to avoid being disappointed yet again of no change of ownership and quite understandable. On the other hand there are those who are prepared to keep an open mind until there are hard facts to the contrary. For me I'm cautiously optimistic WIOTOS.

If you actually listen to Duchatelet in these interviews it’s clear he barely knows what day of the week it is. He certainly doesn’t understand what’s happened at Charlton over the last five years - often he just regurgitates nonsense.bazjonster said:
And you honestly don't think that Duchatelet is capable of such subterfuge as a way of 'pay back' for the relative grief we've given him?Airman Brown said:

Of course he is! He's proven such during his entire tenure at the place. It would be incredibly naive to think that Duchatelet wouldn't resort to such 'tactics'!
I just imagine him (or one of his cohorts) reading this forum and the #cafc twitter pages after surreptitiously chucking a grenade into the fray, then standing back and maniacally laughing as he watches the fallout.
You've been duped before so why not again? He needs no 'means to an end'. He consistently lies (look at the most recent White (sycophant) interview). Never lose sight of the fact that there needs to be no method in his madness.
And if I'm wrong on this occasion, I'll celebrate like the rest of you. You'll forgive me for being cynical though after being given the runaround for at least 12 months!
You say that I’ve been duped before and I hold my hands up to believing things that didn’t turn out to be true, but they didn’t come from RD, neither were they conceivably planted by him.
In fact there is no evidence of him manipulating the situation, it’s just assumption because he says things that are not true. It’s far more likely, IMO, that he is deluded himself.
The counter theory is spiteful Roland who wants revenge over people he doesn’t know and has never met, and doesn’t care who he uses or how much more he spends to get it. I don’t buy it.39 -
This all started as someone mentioning that that's the only seriously wealthy person in Australia. That's it. No link to us whatsoever, let's bury it and move on.EastStand said:Hahaha like someone at Atlassian would buy a football club!

I would rather spread the risk and the competence around.10 -
Have to admit I just don’t believe the takeover is going to happen soon. Earliest will be the summer, maybe even 2020.
Hopefully I am totally wrong, but I don’t trust RD and we have been here too many times before.4 -

There are a number of us on here that have not been excited or optimistic in the last 48 hours. Jim White makes a living out of talking nonsense on "Talkshite" and it would take a lot more than a press release from him to get my juices flowing.ShootersHillGuru said:It’s funny (peculiar not ha ha) that we’ve gone in something like 48 hours from being excited and optimistic about this latest upsurge in rumours to despondent and cynical.

Will Friday 4th January be the day we remember what we were doing when the news comes through, similar to.
Princess Diana's death
John Lennon's murder.

Going back to the Valley.

Sorry, but there is no way the bloke who has dickpunched a club into its lowest point by thinking Anil Koc over on work experience should be playing Championship football, that Karel Fraeye is a suitable English second division football manager, that a 12 year old hairball behind a laptop in Belgium can be left in charge of scouting for the English leagues, and that dropping like a stone down the divisions and league table placements isn't in any way his fault is capable of masterminding a media conspiracy to convince all seven people still paying attention that Charlton are hours away from a takeover when secretly lol no they aren't. All to draw attention away from him not investing in the squad, which he quite happily doesn't do anyway regardless. Does this evil genius think that as long as Charlton Life is distracted with potential footballer shopping lists until 31st January there won't be any trouble? OK, maybe he does actually think that, because he's insane, but he's not capable of pulling it off. The bloke's a fucking toaster strudel.37

There are hidden powers at work - not for me to say that the delays are being orchestrated by a third party, convinced that a promote will be received at 2000 pages.

Before social media ( oh yes there was)
Rumours were added to and altered by word of mouth in pubs, offices, and over the garden fence.
Now people can plant a seed (I don't mean you Jimmy) of a fib which turns into an oak tree of lies.
We all want this take over to happen so badly that we would accept Dame Edna as owner and Les Paterson as CEO.2 -
