"investors struggled to get sufficient funds into the country before the team won the League One Play-off Final"
Airman, were you the source of this information on the Aussies or are you aware whether that is credible information or not?
I’m not the source on any of the story - I’m just able to fill in the blanks, for example to point them at Prague’s comments, supply the detail of the directors’ loans and to remind them of LDT’s minuted statement in April that the price would not change.
My understanding is that the Aussies still don’t have the money (to meet the higher price), but I didn’t give the Standard anything on their situation pre-Wembley.
You need to be careful here as Henry Irving won't be having this :-)

We must have a different understanding of source. Contributing to the article in other words.
I was just interested in whether there was any credibility in the Aussies having the funds and good to go, but can't get them into the country in time angle, as it is (as far as i'm aware) the first time that's been said. i've been doubtful they've ever been that close.
If the money was there then the transfer of funds from anywhere in the world is pretty much instantaneous.

It may have been something like the storyline in Gomorrah S4 where they had to get the ‘money’ into the UK in the form of a painted, solid gold statue of the Virgin Mary - and then had to have is smelted into ingots.
That can’t be easy to arrange.
Yeah - my guess is that this was the problem with the Aussies.

I smell bovine excrement.
It not being there would make it rather hard to get it into the country though.
Why is RD so desperate to get these director loans paid off right now?
seems more like he's shifted his price by saying there will no longer be clear title, rather than insisting they be paid, thus increasing the price by the backdoor a little (7m)

....or they could just be Polo.
Well there's certainly a gaping hole in the middle of their finances
he doesn't want a second charge on the club behind the old Directors, that would imply stage payments and his way of protecting this going forward. Maybe he falls out with people and then does the deal the same evening, watch this space!
I think that is lazy journalism by the Standard. I cannot see how or why RD can insist the £7m loans need to be paid, as doing so hinders a sale. He can say that he isn't paying them, and they become the new owners liability but that is different entirely.
If find it unlikely that RD would publicly state the price wouldn't go up upon promotion and then hike it, even for his lunacy, seems extreme.
Been around this loads of times. If the new owner wants or needs clean title eg to borrow money without recourse to existing creditors, then the Directors loans issue needs to be settled. How on earth can you think it unlikely Duchatelet wouldn't up the price because his gimp said it was fixed? He's a massive liar just like Meire and De Turck. This is the man who said the football club was worth nothing but can't justify the gap between the land value and his asking price. Property prices don't increase because the football club gets promoted. He is simply trying to rip as much money from any prospective buyer as he can, even if that means losing every potential buyer. The man is dense.
The cretin keeps telling everyone how unattractive ownership is in the Championship because it's a money pit and yet he still thinks he can continue to up the price with prospective buyers. His massive arrogance is easy to confuse with being as thick as mince.
So I may have missed this being mentioned already, but the comment about loans being repaid immediately could that be Murray as Dalman doesn't want his involvement?
I don't think there's any doubt he wants to sell, he's just not very good at it. Having failed at most things since we've become aware of him it shouldn't be a surprise that his negotiating tactics are so poor.
So a price was supposedly agreed of 33m. But upon promotion he's somehow added more than 50% onto the asking price. Brilliant.
Said it before and i'll say it again, he'll be our owner until he accepts a reasonable price or until he dies.
If true, RD agreed £33M and he was supposed to repay the £7M ex-director loans. He then said he wasn't going to repay them, so effectively he upped the price to £40M, or less if any of the directors will take less than full repayment.

I don't think the bloke can't be of sound mind, he can't be.

Just trying to do it all without compromise to get the deal done. He is a stubborn old twat who has too higher opinion of himself.
Until I see anything directly from Charlton or Dalman then I will live in hope that a deal can get done. Very faint hope I know!
