Assuming the Aussies haven’t pulled out, there must be talks planned for this week, possibly today? Perhaps this is the calm before the storm? Perhaps nothing is happening? Oh God!

Before engaging in such speculation feller, you should drop a DM to @JamesSeed as he seems to have a direct line to the Ozzie’s and would likely be the first to know... You’re welcome

Aussies pulled out ?

I never thought i would ever say this , but I think keeping Roland maybe better than selling to the Aussies. It is clear to see that the Aussies can only buy us by borrowing money from Americans at a high interest rate. The Aussies wont be able to lose £500k per month as they will need to repay the loan amount each month . So they wont be able to invest in new players or the facilities. Roland at the moment is still putting money into the club although he will want it back- but at least he is still doing that. I cant see how the Aussies can do that, as they will need to make cuts to make us a going concern. We need a different buyer than the Aussies - at least a buyer who can afford us and not someone who has to borrow money at a high interest rate to buy us Lets be careful for what we wish for

How do you know what interest rate would be agreed between the Aussies and the yanks? You are guessing. You don't know if the Aussies have the funds to bankroll the club for years. You don't know anything more than any of us do.
There is definitely a "Russian" influence coming on here now and trying to purport that Roland is a better option than whoever might be our next owner. Go away. We don't want you. We don't believe you. Look at the damage RD has done to our club! New owners are our only option if the club is to survive.

No that’s not clear at all, it’s a guess.
The debt owed to Roland’s company at one point was £65m, and that’s out of date. He never get all his money back, no one will pay that amount for the club.
Roland wants to sell, what we as fans wish for won’t change that, neither will it change who he sells to.
If you believe the club there are still two other parties interested in buying the club, the Aussies aren’t the only possibility.
We need a new owner so the club can properly rebuild.

The fact that we are in League 1, many fans boycotting and the bizarre ways of running a football club by an absent owner who has no interest in our history, past or present means he must go pronto or all the current good play on the pitch will just be a memory as players leave and we limp on to mediocrity. The problem is that the impasse makes many fans feel the interested parties lack ambition and may even have limited budgets to push Cafc forward. Dynamic new owners with a 5 year plan of Championship and beyond is our dream but the paradox is good business acumen states you don't buy when a company is overpriced. This is the Catch 22 of the sale of Charlton and only one man can solve that problem and that is the panto villian, Roland Duchatelet.

It’s been mentioned many times that the price has been agreed but people have whittled out that there is some rather important gremlin still to be unlocked which seems to be the cause of delay.

Roland Out Forever!
His wife might get quote that tattooed when she finally decides to lock him in the shed :-)

Perfect summary of where we find ourself. Generally fans are being surprisingly patient.
I am uncomfy with the growing but worrying trend of 'at least Roland is better than the ghost of Col Gaddafi, be careful what you wish for, he hasnt put a foot wrong COYA!' type posts now we are winning a few games.
On field progress is down solely to the playing and coaching staff.
On terrace progress (bigger gates/away followings)is down solely to the supporters who are buying into the above and coming to terms with their own emotions.
The club under Roland still lacks a SMT, any obvious plan for progression, any signs of true ambition or any attempt to heal rifts with the majority of the supporter base.
Real progress for our club is in limbo until he leaves, whoever the new owners may or may not be to my mind.

And it will be a big wake up call if any of the following happen:
- Jackson to Luton - Taylor to Millwall - Grant to Rangers
We are on a knife edge and Roland has the sharpener.
