Simon Jordan has been nothing but scathing in his assessment of RD throughout this takeover saga. Fair play to him for actually knowing what's going on rather than just believing whatever shit RD comes out with.
Why ? Because you are colour prejudice and don't like orange people. Because a man who lived in Holmsdale Road as a kid supported his local club instead of Man united ? Because he called Richard Murray a wanker when we all thought he walked on water at the time. Because he refused to go in the Birmingham boardroom because he said the owners at the time made money from wank books and dildos ? ( Sullivan and Gold)
Because he is a Nigel ?
Why Simon Jordan has fought our corner since he has had dogs abuse from the majority of Cafc fans over the years is a mystery to me. ?

Because he said, at the height of the Murray-Jordan spat, that he would buy Charlton Athletic, just to close it down...
Has the possibility occured to anyone that Roland doesn't actually own the club at all and it's this tiny legal detail that's holding up everything .
There were historic legal issues that the Aussies spent much spondulix on resolving way back when. I think you’re right, and this ownership issue dates back to the Jimenez era (as shown in the recent court case).
Where does £50m come from? It certainly was £33m (or possibly £30m) plus £7m for directors’ Loans, depending on who settles these. Unless it’s different prices for different buyers.

Rumours that Roland increased the price of the club upon promotion. Which actually in my opinion would be reasonable if the original price hadn’t been higher. Although it’s not as if he has contributed to any success and is not funding an appropriate Championship club.
Hi @JamesSeed its the figure Simon Jordon mentioned when he was asked by JW what sort of figure RD was looking fro, on the radio this morning, when SJ said he knows one of the parties, what the deal structure is and he'd been 'invited' to be part of it.
Edit Please note I'm paraphrasing as was listening to it at work and trying to pick out the salient bits.

Last i saw he was on twitter announcing he's related to Henry VIII.
Randy old Prince Hal sure fathered a load of bastards so that might just be one of Acworth's more likely tales.
It's more than just about everyone with some English ancestry is related to the royal family at some point.
Each generation produces 2 or 3, maybe 5 or 6 offspring, who then produced a number of offspring and so on and so on for five centuries by which time Henry VIII has literally millions of descendants.

Lovely house analogy Chizz.
When is your book:
Selling a football club for dummies coming out ?
Imminent. Just waiting for Roland to finish proofreading.
Remember when it was announced that each buying party had their own price? And that the price had been agreed with each party? I've always felt that this meant Aussies would buy the club and lease back the stadium and ground for something like £30M. Dalman apparently wants the whole club and thus would be paying closer to the £60-65M Roland wants, up front. In my opinion, this is why the Aussies are still in the running... Roland is willing to slice this any way that works. The price and terms have not changed because he was always over-charging and has not backed away from that in the slightest way, it's just that we are in a higher division. Roland is likely quite happy to have the Aussies because he gets to make a profit off hard assets and no longer has to worry about the club.
No-one is paying £60m-£65m up front. Or anywhere close to that. Roland may be utterly bonkers, but there is no way he would still be negotiating if anyone offered that. He'd reach past LdT and rip Dalman's arm off for that amount.
You can trust me on that. And I know the square root of fuck all about what's going on.
So what is the square root of fuck all?
A shed load more than all but 2 or 3 posters have ever known about any of this at all.

That came from me. Price went up by £7m with Patrick’s winner. Despite promise not to raise the price.

Is "a shed load more than all but 2 or 3" a lot? Or not very many?
