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.
which he got from yesterday's Standard.
Not so sure @Henry Irving, he was talking about being offered a chance to be involved by 'whomever' and then was asked about price by JW. So I don't know if he got the figure from the ES or knew the figure from the bidders.
I thought he would sell the club for £1and that it is The Valley and Sparrows Lane that were up for sale. Promotion wouldn't have changed the value of the land.

Sadly these guys do not know what is going on regarding the takeover.
I know one who knows ‘something’ of what is going on......but no one knows the full story as there are a number of unknown scenarios that could take place following on from their current knowledge.
There's one person who should absolutely know every bit of every step of everything that's going on but tragically after 5 years bungling around with Charlton in the 2% of his time he imagines he spends on this thing in which he has no interest it remains patently obvious he doesn't know the first thing about any of it, changes what he says is happening, every time he says anything, even the loss of millions upon millions of his own money registers not at all in his risibly deluded psyche. I'm sure nothing can happen with any change of ownership until the tombstone toothed twunt is dead, buried and out of the way for good. That's not gonna help Charlton any.
I'd love it to be true that the cavalier crackpot was sold a crock of crud by the spivs, he deserves to have lost every cent of his €70+M, simply for not taking due care at the time. Sure as eggs is eggs they sold him an absolute pup on the non-existent property scheme they'd failed to fob off on all sorts previously. Greedy deceitful bigot reaping precisely what he sowed. Sadly karma is just another loony superstition which also ain't gonna help Charlton any. I'd laugh my head right off if it turns out he just ponied up £18M as rent in advance and whichever spivvy crook Tony the tealeaf was fronting for still owns the whole shooting match through an impenetrable matrix of dodgily incorporated shells, trusts and vehicles. Still won't help Charlton any.
It's a good job we have ' our link with the fans ' Richard Murray keeping us up to date with all the developments regarding the sale , what a job he has done

It was a 3 for 2 deal. How could he resist? He still has to find a buyer for the Brooklyn Bridge and The Tower of London!
Somewhat ironic that the man who spat out his dummy over Bowyer using an agent to negotiate a half million £ deal admits he is using an agent (LdT one presumes) to negotiate the sale of the whole club for tens of millions.

One of the greatest posts on this debacle. A fraudulent web of deceit might well exist. It's a bit like the UB40 band having millions of unaccounted for money, where top lawyers have spent years trying to work it out without success, or the Northampton Town FC disappeared council grant again of millions of £'s.
It also wouldn't help Charlton any but here's hoping the helmet has been well and truly done up like a kipper and he lives to discover the extent of it - might finish him off fingers crossed.
Shows how far we've come. Once upon a time that might've attracted a flag or even a ban and a thread all of its own to discuss sanctions!!! He is saying all the right things to later come out as a closet Charltn fan 😀
Why ? Because you are racist 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...
Just like any discerning Cafc fan would do to Palace and Millwall, or in my case Chelsea if we could.
The daft thing about this haggling over a price for me is fairly simple. - Roland is worth around one Billion. He is haggling over £7m
So the equivalent for one of us is if we were worth, say, £100,000 - this is us haggling over £700
would you write off £700 to dispose of a business you are bored of, that is giving me a load of grief, thousands of people hate me, and is costing me £70 a month to keep it running. And that is increasing.

Most self-made billionaires would not write off £7m without putting up some resistance. It is one of the reasons they are billionaires.
I thought he would sell the club for £1and that it is The Valley and Sparrows Lane that were up for sale. Promotion wouldn't have changed the value of the land.
Bully for Simon Jordan if he is taking a stance that is sympathetic to our plight. I don't suddenly feel compelled to declare him as my new best friend though. Shalala lalalalala.
So, the price "was" £33m. Then Douchebag added £7m on promotion or laid the responsibility for settling the £7m Directors loans to the buyer. Not sure which of these is true, but I don't think it's both. Is that the case?
Now the price is £50m? Is that another £10m up front, or is there £10m in add ons e.g. sell on clauses, to be paid in due course?
Just listened to this clip as I refuse to tune into Talkshite and I have to say Simon Jordan speaks a lot of sense, shame we do not have someone so passionate about Roland's poor handling of the club inside the club speaking up for us.
I think what irks Roland the most is the fact that he missed the debt of £7m owing to the directors when he purchased the club. He can't let it go unresolved without his error costing him. He would never be happy unless he finds a way to negate that hit, more to his pride than his wallet. Otherwise, he could just pay them off and renegotiate a sale with clean title.

SI would have nothing to good to stay about us if;
a) The Palace / Charlton rivalry had been relevant for the last decade. b) There wasn't an opportunity to get one over on Richard Murray c) The worst one. He and every Palace fan I know, didn't feel sorry for us.
Once RD has gone he'll go back to being a Nigel Twat in my eyes and I'll go back to being a #ClownTown wanker in his. We'll be out of this heinous parallel universe and back to the real world where all will be good and as it should be.

I've listened to it again, and I agree SJ speaks a lot of sense in this clip. He basically tells RD how he has 'messed up' and mentions that not only has he not been involved in the club, he isn't getting involved in the sale either!! He is honest also when he says he wouldn't want to be part of Charlton, and the club is not worth £50m. The other guest, Bob someone or other, mentions Chinese investors but I think just in the sense that they are out there, why wouldn't they buy a London club (paraphrasing). If LDT is doing the selling on RD's behalf he is doing a very crap job.
So, the price "was" £33m. Then Douchebag added £7m on promotion or laid the responsibility for settling the £7m Directors loans to the buyer. Not sure which of these is true, but I don't think it's both. Is that the case?
Now the price is £50m? Is that another £10m up front, or is there £10m in add ons e.g. sell on clauses, to be paid in due course?
They’re both true. One minute they had to pay 33 million with Roland settling the loans, the next minute they were told to settle the loans, adding £7m to the bill. 33 million became 40 million.
Perhaps new bidders have come along, and he’s trying to get more now. That would preclude the Aussies, because they don’t value the club even at 40 million.

If Zabeel's owners hadn't got cautious, the mancs would have aspired to be the next Charlton Athletic.
But that's the old goat for us.
