    "My contact is speaking with Dalman today, he is expecting Charlton to come up.

    Full cards not been put on the table by the club and DD unearthed more debt than what was declared.

    Training ground issue also which doesn't have be anywhere near as big as Duchatelet is making it."


    Thought Reams said it would be done early next week...............
    Tbf that post is solid.
    Really .?  Perhaps I'm having a moment but what does “Expecting Charlton to come up “ mean ? 

    Its the usual gobbledegook 
     To come up in conversation...
  • Journalist interviews club chairman of team he writes about. Could happen here if we had a chairman.

    Can anyone explain the following?

    The Aussies arrived on the scene in April 2017.

    Some time later RD & the Aussies made a joint statement on the O/S saying a price had been agreed & the price agreement has been repeated numerous times.

    The price was alleged to have been around £65M and other offers in excess of £33M have been turned away.

    The Aussies filed papers with the EFL and turned up at last seasons play offs wearing scarves. 

    Yet another year later it is suggested they had & still have the funds to proceed, but the price has mysteriously halved to what was agreed and yet they still haven't done the deal at half the agreed price and are possibly arguing over a £7M figure. 
    If the Aussies recently agreed, pre Wembley to pay £33M for clean title.

    Can no one explain my post from yesterday ?

    Why did they originally agree to pay £65M ?

    My only explanation could be that the upfront cash sum would have been something like £20M, with the remainder paid in stages.
    James Seed, I think it's more than possible RD agreed to deal with the ex-director loans and then the Aussies would buy for £33M with clean title.

    However, even if this is now the hold up, it still doesn't explain the last year of inaction, when we were told on the OS that the price had been agreed by both parties and the Aussies filed papers with the EFL.

    It's still only Poplcon that has tried to answer, which indicated no one else can.
    That's not what Gerard told me, mate. 

    Sorry, but I'm almost certain that's what you have been telling us for a while ?
    Surely, you said Aussies agreed £33M ?
    RD was to clear the ex-director loans, so effectively he gets £26M ?
    Aussies own the club with clean title for £33M ?
    If you've not been saying this, then I'm astounded.
    Way I read it the price was £33m and Duchatelet sorted the bonds.

    Duchatelet then tried to pass the bonds on to the Indian/Yank/Oz group so making it £40m
    Yes, that's what it says doesn't it ?
    There must be something in the air today :-)
    I’ve twice posted that I misread your post. Apologies again. Sheesh. 
    I was replying to HI not your good self and I liked your apology.
    I think you need some time out mate.

    Sheesh. I'm doing just fine, ta for your concern :-)

    The takeover is p*ss*ng me off a bit though.
  • Thank. That’s a bit clearer.

    In what way?
    Matches other things I have heard.
    So you think takeover COULD be completed next week?
    I don’t know about that, I’m talking about the obstacles.

    Any idea what the final obstacle is? Academy? Directors Loans? Land Registry Charges What else could there be?

    Cheers... With so many factors in those messages I wasnt sure if you were talking about Reams saying the takeover could be done next week or the obsticles he mentioned
    No, he's definitely talking about the obstacles mate

  • There's plenty of football clubs that the owners would love to sell. 
    Why persist in trying to buy Charlton for the last two years knowing that the owner is a deluded old fool. 
    Why not just buy another club instead. 
    Something just doesn't add up to me
    Even a bad smell disappears eventually.
    Have you ever been to Bury St Edmunds?

    Tease! Without revealing what you’ve heard, would you say it’s positive news?

    We won't tell anyone...
  • Very worrying. I can’t see a takeover stopping a signing getting over the line.

    Bows leaving for Derby would though!
