CARD statement from today’s EFL meeting on the way in next hour.
We can reconcile these two positions by accepting that RD has always in his mind seen the value of the club as the rental value of the stadium and facilities. On the other hand, sane bidders see that the rental value cannot determine the price because both club and assets are held by the same entity and owners rental income cancels out tenant club's rent liability.
RD from his latest inane ramblings is showing he sees no problem in separating club and assets, in fact it's the only strategy he sees makes sense for an investor. It was always clearly his intention to leverage the assets.0 -

It could be worse.....you might have even been to the ground & seen the team play in person. Imagine that.NapaAddick said:I will not comment on this topic anymore and will no longer try. I really hope everyone's hope and beliefs about Roly selling the whole club at some rational price comes to pass. I really do. For me, no longer looking at the Brexit or Trump threads have made a noticeable positive difference in my experience on this board. By jettisoning this one as well, I think I will be happier, still. Life is too short. Wake me up when we start a new thread "Official: Takeover Announced" and this one is finally closed. Until then, I am no longer interested in this endless thread. It's a negative energy drain. I don't want to come here for that anymore. Good luck!1 -
Isn't it time to change the thread title again?

Did anybody see Shaun Harvey at the game today wearing scarfy?6

Perhaps it's time for the thread to have it's own theme tune? From your suggestion I was thinking Donovan's There is a mountain, the main gist of which isSix-a-bag-of-nuts said:Isn't it time to change the thread title again?
Sale of Charlton - there is no sale of Charlton.
First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is
First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is
I have no clue what Donovan was going on about and that also fits in quite nicely with my understanding of this thread.

The lyrics of Abba's Should I Laugh, Or Cry? come to mind.
The song concerns a frustrating, unhappy and ongoing relationship.
The words that don't fit our situation are struck through.
He stands towering over me beside my bed
Losing his head
Tells me I must take him seriously
Droning on, the usual way, he's such a clever guy
And I wonder, should I laugh or cry?
He's dressed in the striped pyjamas that I bought
Trousers too short
Gives me of his small philosophy
Carries on the way he does. And, me, I get so tired
And I wonder, should I laugh or cry?
Strange how dangerously indifferent I have grown -
Cold as a stone
No more pain where there was pain before
Far away he rambles on, I feel my throat go dry
And I wonder, should I laugh or cry?

Thread title should be changed to 'Sale of Charlton - Abandon hope all ye who enter here'4

If any of the Belgians have read Grapevine's suggestion this will probably be mentioned in the next Fans Forum as a serious bid!5

Double barrel, fair few letters.JaShea99 said:
Was anyone listening to 5 Live last night? They were talking about the problem with Solskjaer not being able to attract as many big names as Pep and Klopp and either Jermaine Jenas or the other one said “If you’re Nigel Reo-Coker are you really gonna sign for Solskjaer over Pep or Klopp?”. Have I missed something? I didn’t understand why they were talking about big names then they mentioned him?cafcfan1990 said:
Reo-Coker?soapboxsam said:As we are waiting for the sale of Charlton; its only been 22 months and counting - mainly by 3blokes,Here's a little teaser.
Which English player has the most Premier games without getting a full cap. Try not to cheat ! I really struggled with this one.
Any breaking news will take priority.
I know he never got a cap but was on standby for a World Cup and a European Championships.0 -

Are you American? If so, fine. If not, It's mathsrazil said:I have to agree. While Duchatelet clings on to the valuation of c£50m probably anything more than £20m lock stock and barrel, this situation will remain unresolved.
Things are only worth what someone will pay for them.
Business losing £6m plus a year
Crowds falling
Offered Price in 2018/19 £50m with £5m? debt League 1
Purchase price in 2013 £18m? (Duchatelet with very little due diligence) with £6m? debt Championship
Purchase price in 2010 £1 by the 'spivs' with £6m? debt League 1
Do the math

Why no minutes from the fans forum meeting?
Why are ordinary fans treated like 2nd class citizens, kept in the dark and lied to?0 -
I hope the club will be sold on page 2,019.
The most positive thing I've said all day.0 -
I must of missed it, why is there another FF meeting so soon after the last? Is it a new strategy by fans to get the club to embarrass themselves on a more regular basis.5
-
The club tried to change the agenda to be just about the "vandalism" and the "proposal" and so said they would be another FF meeting to discuss other issues and in particular the transfer window.Nug said:I must of missed it, why is there another FF meeting so soon after the last?

Steve Gallen is meant to be there tonight but, no disrespect to SG, I hope the bonkers statement is top of the agenda.2 -
SG and other staff are at the meeting, which is a full FF, the last one as mentioned was reduced to major issues in the end, with only LdT/TR present, I'm dialled in to this one..
I won't be commenting further until minutes.. soz
