    "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.

    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.

    I smell bovine excrement. 
    Would that include China ?

    The owner of the forum that shall not be named has said Dalman’s interest is very much still alive. Also said someone told him the Standard article was inaccurate.
    Saw that too. The last standoff as per Roland/Bow? Here's hoping.

    Keep ‘em peeled at The Valley and training ground, as there might be some Chinese visitors apparently. 
    So are you saying Dalman is out or his takeover could still happen?

    Is this true, or was it the introduction of the extra £7m payable that they fell out over?
  • It’s all a game of poker and no one has any aces. No winners in this game ... Just sell the club and eff off you See You Next Tuesday 
  • Doesnt Dalman have connections with Chinese?
  • JamesSeed said:
    Dalman apparently couldn’t get the funds together in time for the deadline so is out.

    Aussies waiting for Roland to see sense I think.  
    I hope they've got a nice, long book to read...

    Raising funds was the issue I’m hearing. Mind you, they could easily have fallen out over any number of things. Lol 
  • Wonder if Dalman is playing Roly at his own game?
    Tough negotiator and if Roly thinks he's walked then he may be flexible on the deal.
    Roly on the other hand is sticking to the three parties are interested line hoping Dalman will bend.
    Stalemate ensues!!
    Wouldn't be surprised if this still gets completed.
    I'm not ITK obvs, but that's just the impression I get.

    Yes.  He owns/runs Envision Real Estate Capital Partners, which is a vehicle used for funding Chinese property speculators' acquisitions.

    I find it hard to believe someone as well connected or wealthy as Dalman couldn't find the funds.

    Not saying you are lying James btw. I trust what you say just my opinion.

    Finding an additional 7m at short notice perhaps? 
    I'd be amazed if he didn't have the 33m quoted.

    I don't think Roland has got any sense, so the Aussies are going to be waiting a lot longer

    Then accept the liability for the director loans, complete the deal, and then pay them off when the other £7m is available.
  • my dog was very interested in a dismembered seal on our local beach in Norfolk, alls I needed was a couple of adders at it, and England would be equally as mental..
  • Last call for any lifers who still haven't done the 'Will Happy Valley start making up facts soon?' joke. By my count there are still seven of you and the window is narrowing. 
  • Lol....this is worse than Brexit!!
  • Roland hates his partner and kid(s) so much he's leaving the sale of Charlton to be concluded by them when he finally shuffles off in 2033. Who knows where we'll be by then, but I suspect a lower division, maybe even non league.
    I'm up for a visit to Flanders in a few months to see if we can find any of his relatives and try to talk some sense into them because sure as hell Roland isn't selling

    I don't think they'll be keen to bite the hand that feeds them.

    No way would you close a deal minus all of the money.
    I don't buy the fact that he couldn't raise the cash. You'd agree the deal in principle and complete when the rest is in place.
    Maybe Dalman has walked!! (to the bank to get the 7m

    I think that a price may have been agreed between RD and Dalman, and the funds secured by Dalman. But then RD pulled the £7m needing to be payed on top of initial agreed price out the hat, meaning at that / this point, Dalman don't have enough to proceed. Causing them to fall out
