Roland probably doesn't even own the club from a legal perspective and even if he does, he has already proved himself entirely incapable of selling it to anyone. Does he actually attend these negotiations or just sabotage them from a distance?
For the sake of our mental health, I suggest we all just chip in and buy Roland a wig, fake spectacles and fake moustache and send them all to him by first class post.
By promising to cease all protests if he wears his new disguise for any public appearance, we can then all pretend we have a new owner and the torture will be over. Bowyer and Gallen can run the show and we can mostly ignore him. His failed networking project and attempts to revolutionise football management the Roland way, is already a public joke.
There could be one of those amusing fan competitions to decide the most suitable name for our "new" owner.
Anyone any good on Photoshop to see how this innovative idea might look in practise??

So according to some we’re now in phase two of the second consortium having a straight shot at completing the deal
Maybe,
4th group from middle European could now be having a quick run at it if @PragueAddick 's source is correct.
But that doesn't mean the Chinese and US/Indian/Aus group aren't still in it. No one has mentioned exclusivity.
Or Roland could just have messed it all up again by changing the price, demanding add ons, changing his mind about deadlines, refusing to disclose information that the buyers need, who knows?
I believe the Albert Hall was funded by private subscriptions originally. It meant subscribers were guaranteed their seats when they wanted them.
In the early days they used to put down a wooden floor above the seats in the main floor of the building, but two old ladies insisted on having their seats during the dancing, so two holes were cut out so as they could sit in the midst, heads poking out, to enjoy the swirl and tap of the dancers feet. The Albert Hall was the original location of my Alma Mater, and also TS Eliot's Choruses from the Rock were first performed/spoken/recited there. Wonderful place is the Albert Hall.

In a weird way we almost have that situation already, as the network has died and in effect for 95% of the time we have an invisible owner. Roland sets the (meagre) budget with Bowyer and Gallen, and they run the show. Gallen in particular gets involved with negotiations that normally the owner or CEO would be in charge of, I can't imagine Roland or LDT having more than a token involvement with any of our signings so far

Duchatelet is irrational.
Who are the 2nd group?
If I told you I'd have to kill you : - )
If we believe the narrative from the club then
1st Group UK/Indian/Aussie
2nd Group Unknown British
3rd Group Unknown international (possibly Dalman)
4th Group new to the table since Wembley from middle Europe according to a source of @PragueAddick

only conclusion i can come to after 2 years of this originally completely incorrectly titled thread is that there was a complete change of strategy after relegation. This included 2 main changes: One was to ditch the network as a failed experiment. The other was to pretend that a takeover was imminent. Nothing else makes any sense. At this point, the pig headed will say nothing rd does makes any sense but that is because they aren't seeing through the bollox.
Very elaborate and expensive conspiracy then. Do you also think the moon landings were faked?
Not a pop at you airman - we all make mistakes. I want and hope a takeover happens asap - i want everybody to believe that as well so we can ride this promotion wave. I'm gonna ride it anyway and i genuinely think the current football management at the club will make a good fist of it but i have zero belief that a sale is imminent
My only point is that a large amount of money has been spent over the last few years and some serious players engaged in a process, as well as national and local media, all of which you seem suggest was simply a conspiracy to mount a pretence to mislead Charlton supporters for some unknown purpose.
It’s not remotely tenable as an argument and yet every time anything comes out we have people trying to link the story to trivial local events - such as a fans’ forum meeting or a sale of season tickets.
If you want to understand the chaos of dealing with RD and LDT just look at 1) RD’s relations with the EFL last season and 2) the contract negotiations with Bowyer (and that’s just the bits in the public domain). Do you really think his dealings with buyers are any more ordered and professional or that he is capable of a media strategy around the takeover? I wonder he manages to dress himself, personally.
All of this is so true. In which case, how on earth can any sale go through when the prospective buyers are dealing with someone who clearly leaves home every morning without taking his medication? Still think he'll be here when we kick off at Ewood Park.

Lots of people are very appreciative of the information and background you have been able to provide on this thread. So, it's worth asking you - above all people - one, specific question. Don't feel compelled to answer it if you don't want to, or if doing so breaches the confidences into which you have been taken. But, if you can answer it, I think it will make a lot of people feel very much more assured.
Are you still one hundred per cent confident that RD will have sold the club before the start of last season?
that was what was said at the time - another reason why i have come to this conclusion now

he set up a 'portal' with the lawyers with takeover info on - as i told you back when you were saying it was imminent and i was saying it wasn't - he's then detailed ldt to front stuff out and removed a big problem in meire - that ain't cost him much - i'm sure if he got a ridiculous offer he'd sell but i don't think he's in a hurry right now

Are you say Meire was pushed out by RD or his people?

Don't worry, it will go to VAR for a final decision.
