We'll politely agree to differ then Rick.Airman Brown said:
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:
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.
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.
For the record though, I think that what you have done for this club and what you continue to do is 'above and beyond' commendable. You have my full support and total admiration.3 -
I think the drip drip to the FF and more full on leaks to the media during transfer windows is entirely consistent with a ‘sales process’ designed to keep buyers interest and or flush them out. LdT has admitted he is completely focussed on selling the club and all of the above could well be part of that.

Plus Dame Edna's bridesmaid Madge to do the PR.SoundAsa£ said:
Speaking for myself, I’d prefer Sir Les as owner and Dame Edna as CEO.soapboxsam said: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.1 -
Wouldn't surprise me if Jim White is getting a fee for advertising the sale either.0

Hilarious how people that believe they are informed, really know nothing.
So many words, so little truth.1 -
I so want that sentence to be true.Airman Brown said:

I just hope you haven't got your head in the clouds Airman.2 -
At least they're acting on good faith as Charlton fans, rather than waiting to mock, or point out someone's wrong, or moan, or otherwise act divisively, which a lot of other people do.JamesU2002 said:Hilarious how people that believe they are informed, really know nothing.

I respect and trust Airman and others immensely, and know it is only out of fervent hope for the betterment of this football club that they say what they do.35 -
Ok must have missed that, seems unlikely thoughAirman Brown said:

Edit: that they or anyone else would turn away genuine credible interest before a deal was signed off0 -
It is true to my certain knowledge, but I would continue to caution that he is delusional and it doesn’t mean he is right this time any more than before.soapboxsam said:

Early next week seems a long 48 hours from his comments earlier this week?cfgs said:Jim White about to talk about us again in a bit says sale could be done early next week.

I hope Jim White tells us the potential buyer is waiting to see what division we’re in.cfgs said:Jim White about to talk about us again in a bit says sale could be done early next week.
Or will he say that next week? Either way it’ll be said soon enough, which is good, as that’s my fave...0 -
Jim White [on TalkSport ]has just said the club could be sold beginning of next week,no problems with fit & proper test.7
-
Just said he understands fit and proper test is no problem, no idea if he thinks that has been done, Monday or Tuesday it should be done. Time obviously moves slower in Scotland.8

That is the club’s current line, no question.cfgs said:Just said he understands fit and proper test is no problem, no idea if he thinks that has been done, Monday or Tuesday it should be done. Time obviously moves slower in Scotland.
