    I've spoken to a well connected sports journo in Cardiff. 
    All I can say is he hasn't posted any copy in response to the Standard article.
       
    You've tweeted at PauloAbbandonato? 

    Anyway there's this from 4 days ago, not sure if posted

    a few people have tweeted at Paul now and he last tweeted about an hour ago, only a matter of time before he replies probably 
  • I think the Standard, or whoever fed them the story, has been a little economical with facts when it comes to the Directors loans. 

    I wouldn’t be surprised if the are a sticking point. But we know they can’t demand payment. They are passive viewers in this unless someone wants to pay them off early. If that’s the case, and they are paid off in full, again there’s nothing they can do but accept. 

    This is all about the buyer wanting the loans cleared and Roland not wanting to pay in full. If the added rumor that he wants to secure his debts against some club assets is true, why would the Director’s take a haircut so that Roland can guarantee his payment in full.

    He can't speak English.

  • 1855, The last groat is minted. We've got an old scroat who's_minted.
    Amended for you.
  • To Shine 166,its a bit sad when discussions cant take place without personal insults,still each to their own,luckily the majority of people on this site stick to voicing their opinions about football,and Charlton.
    Fair play, but the 'roland will probably back us now' stuff has been going on for years

      Economical??
    If I was an ex director of be bloody fuming!

    To a neutral it looks like those Charlton directors being awkward again.

  • If I were buying the club, I’d want it unencumbered even if I didn’t need to raise debt against the stadium, I might have to and why should I have my hands tied.

    if Duchâtelet wants to have a similar charge for a portion of his debt, he can’t unless the current directors are paid out I think
    For me this is the far more obvious reason.
    Which one? Or both?
  • I don't believe the deal is dead, I think Dalman is trying to put pressure on Roland. Could be wrong, and maybe it's wishful thinking but think he will be involved in 1 or 2 twists yet. 
    That was my view.

    Dalman leaked the £30m offer to the Standard in March and his name was first publicly linked there too a few weeks back.

    Now this. 

    Dalman seems to me to be happy to use the press to put pressure on Duchatelet or at least get his version of events out there.

    It maybe dead and Dalman just gave someone the story.  Or maybe not.

      I think the clock is ticking pretty quickly for Dalman though.
     Cardiff will want a commitment from him in the coming days I would think.

    Doubt he’ll still be trying to get a deal done in the future if it doesn’t happen this summer either. Unlike the Aussies.

    Worked for Bowyer! Perhaps Roland is one of those who only comes to his senses when he is walked out on. Or burning one of his buildings down.

  • Surely this game of playing one bid off against another is taking up more than 2% of Dushits time?

    Blimey you're an angry monkey @Braziliance

    No, I hadn't tweeted Paul. A different source.

    Genuinely I don't know why he hasn't posted copy. I suspect it's because the story isn't accurate. I'm trying to get more info. 
    Angry? Not really, just don't like the 'look at me I'm itk posts' with a lack of info. There's a whole fan base here desperate for good news so it gets on my nerves when posts aren't made clear regarding take over news.

    What's the name of the journo? What do you mean by he hasn't responded? Because he can't or won't? 

    If I knew something I would share it to the the finest details, why? Because if someone is willing to tell you what they know on this matter the odds are the information isn't that sensitive or other people will know anyway. If it was completely confidential information it would never be shared in the first place

    How's your CL break going Napa? 

    I reckon you've posted 40 times since it started on the 18th.  Have you tried laying down in a darkened room and listening to the sounds of the ocean?
    Very difficult! It’s addictive. I only check 1x per day but am struggling to stay within the appointed 15 minutes per day. I feel this...

  • Top eight or ten and a potential buyer can sniff the Premier League. 


    7th at the moment.
    And undefeated!
  • It’s dead, I think we’re all clutching at straws to think it’s still alive
