Bob Whitehand is an ex PLC vice Chairman and isn't in the inner loop.
White and Whitehand can have their opinions BUT only Murray and LDT are in the inner loop and they are struggling to understand the ramblings of Duchatelet.
At least the standard story is pro active in trying to get Roland to reveal WTF or how much he wants.
There was me thinking that once Katrien Meire left we had about a year left of RD tenure.
I believe it was the seller that pushed this out there. Not the other way round.
Having the best DNA doesn't stop one talking a load of old boll0cks unfortunately.3 -
Airman Brown said:J BLOCK said:Airman Brown said:I confirmed yesterday that the ex-banker in the Standard is the same party as the one discussed in the Voice. We went to print before the Standard came out, and before I received a tip-off about the story, so the publication sequence is slightly confusing. It’s why the Standard story isn’t referenced.
I don’t know why they told the Standard £30m, but I am very confident of what I’ve written.
I am told it was made clear to them the party was willing and able to pay £35m and take on the £7m directors’ loans, subject to seeing the DD. RD/LDT haven’t engaged fully at those numbers and they have quoted £65m - although that wouldn’t all have to be up front. The party won’t pay that.
It is even more amazing that RD isn't engaging at that price, and seems to be seeking £65m. Which he will never, ever get.
Now that the would-be buyer has broken cover and we have some numbers, it would be great if the EFL (who have offered to "help" Duchatelet find a buyer) could put some pressure on him to at least negotiate seriously around that number.17 -

That does seem a bit steep.

Well if 65 million is what his after then we are screwed. No one will pay that even if we do get promoted! Feeling despondent!1

I've given up trying to work out what's going on with the takeover.
Still baffled by the Aussie consortium, who with their changing members have been trying to nail down a deal for well over a year now. Has ANYONE ever spent so long unsuccessfully pursuing a football club, they must be gluttons for punishment...6 -
Where the hell is RD getting this figure of £65m from?0

Elsewhere Swansea are about to bring in Trevor Birch as Chairman. Never a good sign, he's the man you bring in when you need to make savings...
Another "failed" American investment really, yes it brought in extra funding in the short term, but at the expense of the ownership partnership which had got them success and unity.1 -

So, same as it ever was. Shitweasel wants any prospective buyer to compensate him for the losses that he has made due to his own bad decisions.
He wants too much for the club and will not get it. Furthermore, he and his cronies are lying about the amount that he has been asking for the club.....which suggests that, to some extent at least, even he knows he is living in an alternative reality.
So, it looks like we will be Shitweaseled until the deluded old *$?*!! carks it. The question we should all be focusing on now should be 'what happens then?'.

However, Taxi_Lad makes an interesting observation , when he notes that Peter Gage refers to Charlton as they, instead of we, as you would when you are referring to your opponent.
Unfortunately, after all those years away it looks like the love is going/has gone, which has always been my logic for continuing to attend and support my team.11 -

Peter was not only heavily involved and 'colourful' in the initial protests against Duchatalet but he does still attend many away games.

So, if Roland is losing £1m a month yet still wants this back, by the end of 2020 the club will be up for sale for £90m!RD obviously doesn't undestand the concept of cutting your losses.2
