    I think/hope this is just Dalman putting some pressure on RD to reach a deal.

    Put it this way, the Aussies weren't best pleased after the playoff final.
    Any way you can elaborate on that? Potential new owners being disappointed after we have some success is a very worrying idea and doesn’t sound good, but perhaps you’re saying RD’s side did something after the Play Off final that upset the Aussies? 
    Because Roland put the price up over 20% when he had agreed not to. I though that was widely know. And now he’s putting the price up further to new bidders. He is deluded if he thinks anyone will pay £50m plus add-ons!

    Was it £33M + director loans until Bauer poked it in?
    Agh! £33m with loans settled by Roland.

    So the only new news after reading 7 pages of threads is that @DOUCHER is in turkey

    It's not about whether the different consortia 'have the money' or not, it's about whether the mad old Shitweasel that (very unfortunately) owns our club has changed his mind, welched on an agreement or simply allowed his delusion to assure himself that a new buyer will be happy to reimburse him for all the losses he has made through his incompetent stewardship.

    Bearing this in mind, it is safer to assume that we are going to be owned by mad old wankpuffin for ever, rather than get your hopes up!

    Rehash of the Evening Standard article including the red herring about the Directors being a hold up on the sale. 

    The whole Charlton sale is odd. Duchatelet will likely lose more money in the future by not selling now. Why wouldn’t he sell & move on ? It makes absolutely no sense to me.

    IMO the Rat is defo puting out false info for his own bizarre game, it feeds his ego.

    He is using various media and forums. 

    So the "end of June re tax deadline" was just another turd.

    A month to go before we kick off and the Rat will still own us.

    Karma is a bitch Roland

    Shame you have to try to wind people up Mr @DOUCHER - I don’t know why you feel a need to. There has been a remarkable equanimity on this thread in recent weeks and even months. It’s all been very civil. People sharing what little they know without trying to score points. We just want the club sold.

    Interesting response, admits RD did not “pay attention to the loans” and argues inconclusively that they may have expired. A competent buyer would have spotted any ambiguity and addressed that in 2014.

    However the claim that they are only a problem based on the identity of the buyer ignores the fact that according to LDT the buyers haven’t changed since he said they weren’t a problem.

    Another wholly gratuitous and spurious point about me and 2015/16, which 1) contradicts their own previous claim that I was advocating the owner of Ebbsfleet and 2) ignores the fact that PV was representing a specific buyer and the likelihood that I would have confidence in PV.

    I will leave others to decide if they were in fact “mobilised” by me or formed their own judgement of Duchatelet and what needed to happen based on the evidence in front of them.

    RD took over Bowyer’s contract negotiations from LDT. What chance have we got of LDT getting a takeover done?

    The truth is, the longer this takeover takes the longer LDT has a job. Doesn't seem like it's in his interest to get this done any time soon...

  • The sad thing is the number of fans whom will lap that crock of bullshit up and quote it as gospel.  I don’t believe the vast bulk of those answers, so much so that having supported the fans forum meetings to this point I think they should be cancelled mediately as this shows them for the utter waste of everyones time they sadly are.

    Anyone got that 'I've heard something so will keep quiet smilie face' post JamesSeed recently made. 

    Pretty sure that wound a few people up.....

    Bizzare and just wrong.

    The fans forum asks the questions. They can't and shouldn't be blamed for the answers.

    Reads to me as if LDT has just cut and pasted a lawyers opinion on the debentures which more often than not will cover all bases without there being a totally clear position on the repayment terms. And it's likely these will only be finally agreed upon when the contingent liability becomes due.

    At least he has admitted the rat didn't have a clue as to their significance when he bought the club.

    I didnt blame them for the answers though so get off your high horse.  They are decent people who give up their free time to deal with the morons who run our club.  Given those morons are clearly happy to stick a bunch of lies on paper to answers to their questions I really see no point in them wasting their time meeting LdT any more.  Maybe carry on the more mundane ff meetings where they take up fan issues with ops staff but the takeover ones are pointless and I am sure the volunteers would have better things to spend their valuable time on.  Just my view.

    I don't think you could argue the last paragraph is liable.  The coordination of the protests was done by CARD, you were happy to be a public spokes man for CARD. 

    The insinuating that people wanted to protest because of you is fanciful at best.

    Since they choose to attend clearly they do think it's good use of there time.

    The point remains. The FF meetings got this response, nonsense that most of it is. It is doing what it's there for.

    That is utter nonsense though. The quoted clauses are quite clear. They're not describing an expiry but a payment schedule to protect the club. Payment is triggered on promotion to the Premier League, payable in a maximum of 5 equal payments, only payable whilst the club remains in the PL, resuming when we return. From memory the charges listed on Companies House apply for all three companies. He seems to be also implying that £1.4m exposure whilst swimming in the Premier League riches is scaring buyers off. The stuff of fantasy.

     As for the dig at you mate, I don't get what it adds to the response whatsoever. I wouldn't waste your fingers typing a rebuttal to that incoherent nonsense.  Get back to digging out that winning pic in the dick swinging contest with Doucher :wink:

    They did indeed. But CARD took control of the protests very soon after they started, when you bought  the megaphone along.

    It was the genius of the black and white scarves and branding that gave everyone an easy way to show their unhappiness and indicated visually just how much support the protests had.
