Last I heard further previously undiscovered debt was uncovered.
@JamesSeed is this from the Aussies' point of view, or from other bidder(s)? Because, if after two years' worth of due diligence, costing (am I right in thinking...) over a million quid, it does seem to stretch credulity that the Aussies have now uncovered debt they had missed for that long.
Do you have any more information on this? Is this really stuff that the Aussies have only just come across? And what size "hole" does this put in the deal?
I would take very much with a light pinch of salt anything that the Aussies are dripping into the public domain

The Aussies have told you that anything they say should be taken with a pinch of salt? I'd be inclined to disbelieve that, if I were you.
If the aussies are leaking tiny bits of info like this out to the "public domain", which only a few thousand charlton fans hear of... why not leak to a newspaper to gain more traction about how much of an idiot roland is?? then people will be more inclined to put pressure on RD (e.g ramp up the protests, generally paint a bad image of him) and they might actually move somewhere as we've seen Roland reacts to things like that?!
Obviously they're still trying to conclude a deal with him so can't say too much but surely there's something they can do to help get this over the line.
It still astounds me how patient they've been dealing with a buffoon .

My guess is, it's not true.
After 2 years you'd think theyd be aware of all the debt, things are always leaked for a reason.
How would the Aussies be aware that the directors debt that Duchatelet said he'd cover and was all sorted would all be shifted on to any potential buyer?
That's nothing to do with DD, just RD being an idiot.
Who knows what else RD has kept hidden or just didn't know about? How much has come out as a result of the Jimenez court cases?
How much is the potential court case over Footscray Rugby club and/or the uncompleted work on training ground causing problems if Duchatelet wont accept any liability?
Lots of people looking for the smallest thing to blame the Aussies for when Duchatelet has managed to drive off 5 or 6 buyers, that we know of, and others, like Dalman and the possibly mythical British Group, have also completed DD a long time ago but still haven't completed a deal.
There is one common factor in the failure to sell the club, one common factor in deals not happening and his name is Roland Duchatelet.
@1905 registered his user name 13 years ago for this very moment. Played the long game beautifully
And I nearly missed my moment. I had kept a watchful eye on page 1904, which crawled along all morning despite some cheese puns. Just as it was about to click over to 1905 I got called to a bloody meeting. 13 years wait nearly down the drain!
