    Decent report. Think the rumours thread descended to the level of this behemoth on the end, it was initially exciting, with the odd burst of interest but ultimately disappointing.

    Roland buying the club for £14m should make it worth about £10m now.

    He probably got his info from Charlton Life.

    Surely, as Charlton and the Dunkirk spirit are virtually inseparable, it should be 1940.

    Who knew there were so many people on Charlton Life with such extensive M&A experience?

    It's a real eye opener reading that the only thing in a sale and purchase agreement is the price, and that its always a fixed price with no conditions, etc whatsoever (on either side). And that there's only ever one version of an agreement and once it gets written into black and white it's somehow set in stone.

    It's an eye opener because if people can talk such bollocks about this one thing then I can only assume that they are talking bollocks about everything else as well.

    But don't let me stop you ......

    It’s where you got your moon boots and ski jackets from in the 80’s.

    He has been mentioned many years ago as a "famous" fan but never, IIRC, linked to the takeover.

    Many times. He’s an obvious place for an Aussie journalist to go for a quote so I wouldn’t assume anything from it.
  • M & A = mergers and acquisitions so I think what Offit is trying to say is that Palace are merging with Charlton and we will become their reserve team.

    Perhaps that's fair comment, but at least two important sources on this story have vastly more relevant professional business takeover experience and knowledge than anyone posting on here (as far as I am aware) - or indeed Duchatelet, LDT and Murray. It's not a lack of process knowledge that has been behind the numerous false dawns and the professionals have been as bemused as anyone else.

    So the Aussies ‘accidentally’ bid too much (subject to rubber stamping by a backer) and the sale been stuck ever since as a result?

    Just seems very unlikely, but then we are dealing with Roland.
