We have to annoy him some more I think. Are there any plans afoot?0

Yes, we have all been led up the garden path by the master chocolatier - I reckon one of his main sources of amusement is reading this thread. A bit 'weird' and not great value for what its costing him but i can picture him at home with this thread beamed up in his cinema room. 'Look Hans, they are still talking about ex directors loans, the aussies, the training ground, the 2 weeks, the imminence of it all!!!! ha ha - my dream is to hit 2000 pages before the season starts and then we go for 3000 by Christmas - we can do this, they will analyse and debate anything i throw at them over and over again - Lieven is enjoying it too - I will ask him to invite that buffoon Jim white to our Christmas 3000 celebration as an amusement piece'.

I believe he wants out but can’t quite bring himself to do it because he knows how much happiness it would cause. He hates us that much!!4

It’ll be done when every ITK person has been made to look stupid and has been sent abuse by sections of the fanbase. Roland doesn’t want any of them to be right.5

Given that Duchatelet knows absolutely nothing about football at all, I do wonder if the daft old miser has got it at the back of his mind that Bowyer might even achieve a promotion to the Premier not taking into consideration that the budget he’s given the club will barely provide a competitive Championship squad let alone one capable of a promotion push. Think he might be looking to see how the team is doing before committing to sell. If that’s remotely true then January would be the earliest.1

Chizz said:He's selling. If nothing else comes from this thread of almost 150 pages, at least we can take away this one fact: he's selling. He may not be selling today, or this week, or this month. But, he's selling. We all want to know who the new owners are, what the price will be, how much money they've got, what their plans are, who we might sign and what is going to happen to The Valley. All of these remain firmly up in the air. But there's one, cast-iron fact we know: he's selling. He won't want to lose more money. Despite how some people present the opportunities to offset losses against tax, he doesn't want to lose more money. No-one does. It's a stain on his business record, it's a loss to his prestige, it's a drag on his resources and it's a diminution of his - and his family's - wealth. So, either sooner or later, there is no doubt, whatsoever: he's selling. I want to know when and I want to know what's next. But, I can wait. And, if he's reading this, I have one message for him - I can wait longer than you, Roland. Not least because, unlike you, Roland, I have nothing to lose. And that's why this thread - despite being inconclusive on a number of issues so far - is so heartening, uplifting and positive. Because, sooner or later, there's no doubt about it now: he's selling.
I'll be 60 in a few weeks and it would be absolutely fantastic if you could ally my fears that we won't have a new owner before I do "shuffle off this mortal coil"1 -
Think Roland will live to see us all out - just out of spite

I’m still hearing the old nutter want to sell before the season starts. God knows how he’ll do that. Historic debts still an issue. It’s not happening. Is it?7

Wasn't there something that neither Jimenez or Slater Technically owned CAFC.
Didn't you mention something about this @Airman Brown when the case was first in the news. A lot of it went over my head but that but stuck out.
Could that be the 'historic debt' ??0 -
So in respect of the interested party I know of, I am clinging to one small piece of positive news. The intermediary, the Charlton fan who has found the buyer, has indeed been in London today. That said I can't be sure it was because the previous mentioned meeting has taken place, but I would think it more likely than not; and this is an improvement on what I was led to believe on Monday. I would hope to hear from him, directly or via his buddy who lurks on here , either way.

Someone might agree a price but they’re not going to pay £30m+ to buy the club while owing saying another £20m on top of that.2 -
'Terse' has been a good word to introduce into this thread.
We need a good vocabulary based on something like the Scoville Scale to describe encounters any ITK people have.1 -
Prague do you know personally who the potential buyer is and has their name been in the domain that we are aware of?0
