  • LDT sounds clueless 
    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.

    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.

  • 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. 
    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:
  • Roland you are a Shitweasel cockwombling prick.

    Just saying.

    The protests predated CARD.

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

    I was reffering to the most visual, impactful ones, pigs, stress balls etc.  Or are you going all RD on us and changing history to suit 🤔🤔

    The last sentence was a joke before the pile on starts.

    Question two was a short question, which referenced the directors' loans

    Six hundred and sixty six words were used by LdT to explain, in forensic detail, the vital importance of being utterly and completely unambiguous with dates. 

    Here's what the title of the document is.   


    I can’t believe you’re the only one who has picked up on this. 
    I refused to read it because of this. 
    Explains everything to me. 
    Fecking jokers. 
    He’s going nowhere.

    Well, someone's lurking on CL. Because the file's been changed now.

    True. But technically LDT isn't saying you started the protests, simply that you mobilised protests, which, as part of CARD, he can argue you did. I don't like the bloke but he's been very careful with his wording there. Unnecessary of him though.

    I don't think LDT wrote that without help.
  • 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.
    Came in very handy that cold Febuary evening in Sint Truiden back in 2016.

    Apologies but there’s no actual takeover news then today ? 

    There appears to be a lot about Fans Forum on the 26th June, which I am not really following (Something about LDT making stuff about loans owed to former directors & some other rubbish aimed to divide & distract ? )

    That's what they want you to think
  • Let's face it they can't even sign off the minutes without a major cock up, what chance did they ever have of doing proper due diligence?

    They really are a bunch of bungling Belgians.

    so the wanker has increased the price to buy Charlton. in other words. Roland won't pay the £7 million loans so upped his price... (and then some). How the hell did we end up with Roland as our owner? What did we do in a previous life to end up with him??   
    In our previous life We were all Milwall fans
