Agree with 1) but I think all the evidence on 2) is that they put the paperwork in to the EFL last May and then couldn’t follow through.Todds_right_hook said:0 -
Not sure if you’re referring to me there, but I was referring to those who’ve said the Aussies should sort out the repayment of directors loans.Airman Brown said:
Until this week there hasn’t been any recent effort to sort them, so I think it’s a bit rich to put the responsibility for it not having happened on the ex-directors. Then it was framed as a threat. Nice.JamesSeed said:The only thing I know for sure is that it’s the loans holding things up. The Aussies were expecting that they would have been sorted, but they haven’t been.
Whether it’s the ex directors ‘not co-operating’ I don’t know for sure. It could be that Roland hasn’t sorted them when he should have done, or those acting for Roland haven’t when they should have done.
But forget the Aussies trying to sort out the directors. That was never expected, or requested or even feasible.
Seems like we’re nearer, but not nearer. Does anyone know how Roland could benefit from a delay?
The central issue seems to be that Roland (or his people) may not have even contacted the ex directors until recently. If that is the case, we have to ask why? Is it the case that he actually doesn’t want to sell the club after all?
Btw I’ve heard the same rumour of Aussie, USA and Indian money. Good source, but not the Aussies.

My main concern is that Roland still wants to own a part of Charlton after we have been sold.
One blade of grass would be to much for me.

Aussies like to win.
I don’t think anyone that has kicked a ball can understand Rolly’s crap about winning isn’t important. There can never be a future for that attitude in anything.7 -

You know, at this stage it’s best to concentrate on what we know for sure.Airman Brown said:

Do you know it they couldn’t or wouldn’t? So much of the info we’ve received over the last two years about paperwork and the EFL has been sketchy. If the Directors’ loans haven’t been addressed, for example, could that affect the paperwork, or their willingness to submit it?
Either way, we can agree the Directors’ loans are holding things up. Roland says it’s the Directors’ fault. The Directors say it’s Roland’s. If it is Roland (which most think likely) then why is he doing it? And what can be done about it?1 -
I thought it was a £30.5M bid from the Aussies matched by the Middle eastern bid?0

No, we don’t agree on that. And neither do the ex-directors.JamesSeed said:

if you wanted to lever them into cutting a deal on the loans, isn’t this exactly what you’d tell them?4 -

So you’re saying the Directors’ loans aren’t holding things up? Surely, if the Directors haven’t been approached, then the loans can’t have been dealt with.Airman Brown said:

And as the loans haven’t been sorted they are, at very least, contributing to the sale not been completed.

Get the bank details and send CHAPS payments.
So if that is the only issue it's RD holding things up.
(He could have paid them off in the last few years).9 -

I still don’t get why he wouldn’t have done it already. Doesn’t he want to sell the club? Is he so wealthy he can’t be bothered? What has this Lieven fella been doing all this time?0
