Interesting in that this bidder, albeit under the anonymity of a Standard article, has gone public with a valuation of £30M, whereas NDAs etc have clouded exactly what bids have been made. As the article says, the ball is in RD's court and given the events of the past week and the rejection of his demand by the EFL, if he turns this down his real appetite to offload the club at a realistic price will become apparent to all.
Was thinking the same thing.
Playing this out semi-publicly puts pressure on Roland but there are no names so no NDA broken.
Interesting part in the article is the line "it has been suggest that this is a more substantial proposition than those from five interested parties in Jan"
Reading between the lines, this offer is a lot more simple, 30Mill for the lot and we'll do a deal. As apposed to complex consortiums, part ownership of ground/training ground etc.
What's that smell... oh yeah BS. So on Tuesday they said "No bit was made for £30 million... then guess what 24HRS BEFORE WE HAVE A LIVE GAME PLUS POTENTIAL PROTESTS this has come up. It is planted news to avoid protests. I am not buying ir.
But he's already turned down a bid of £30 million - why would he accept this one? I really think I need to give up football (well, Charlton anyway). Not sure how much more of this I can take.
At some point he is going to have to accept that £30m or thereabouts is all he is going to get. The more he digs his heels in and holds on the club, the more money he is going to lose.
If he really does want out, he should take this money and run and chalk up his losses to being a stupid old man who got in over his head.

Yes, can't imagine Roland will be happy it being played out in public.
Said I wouldn't get excited again. But I fucking well have.
If protests/action has been planned for Saturday (been out the loop) then they should still go forward, as this saga has still gone on too long and in my opinion protests will not put more pressure on Roland to sell.
I didn't know until I just googled 'bankers with football backgrounds" that Maurizio Sarri used to combine working in banking with being involved in amateur football. I wonder.......

I am bored with the green from the last rumour really, but hey "plus la change" n'all that!
I'm so ready to be disappointed once more!
Former Banker with top level experience in football
