The Takeover Thread - Duchatelet Finally Sells (Jan 2020)

There is a pattern, Roland is more concerned with not having to put any money in, than taking any out. If Taylor goes in January, I agree its quite likely, it will be because he wants to go and we can't keep him. As we won't make a lose this year I expect Bowyer to get most of the money.cantersaddick said:Scoham said:
Roland always sells players yes but the only window that might be considered a fire sale would be summer 2016 after relegation from the Championship. Even then we still put a squad together.cantersaddick said:Cafc43v3r said:

And there we have the first “fire sale” prediction ahead of the next transfer window.Arsenetatters said:This is the start of the usual excitement of a potential takeover in the lead up to the Jan window opening.
We all get to the frenzied point where we really don't care that Roland has sold all the players and bought no-one as there will be a takeover before the window closes.... and then it closes.
Repeated pattern under Roly. Summer transfer business alright given constraints and lack of investment. Usually leaves us 1 or 2 short of where we really need to be. Opportunity to build in January but always at least 1 high profile sale. We are yet to end a January transfer window stronger than we started it under Roland. Will this be the year?
The fire sale predictions have always been about Roland leaving us with a squad mainly made up of u23s.
Sorry didnt word it very well. I was agreeing there was never a fire sale but it does seem to me like there is a pattern. I am not getting my hopes up for this jan window for instance. I expect to lose Taylor and one other and to replace with frees or loans.Cafc43v3r said:
Selling "a high profile player" and a fire sale are 2 totally different things. Every time the clocks change a fire sale rumour starts, it's never happened. Has it?cantersaddick said:Cafc43v3r said:

If you go through all the transfer outs since Roland took over and look at them honestly, how many of them leaving were just because "Roland sold them" or "Roland wouldn't pay them enough"?
We could have got a lot more money for a few of them, that is not in doubt, but that's a different story. He could have kept 2 outstanding players, for much longer than he did, but the rest would have left one way or another.
Remember how people moaned about how much we were paying Teixeria? We would have to offer Taylor 2 or 3 times that to stay.0 -
Really don’t think that’s true, although of course it depends who else wanted him.Cafc43v3r said:

IF Brentford did want to pay him £20k a week, on top of a transfer fee. He would be foolish to agree anything significantly less with out having the chance to speak to other clubs. On a free he would probably think he would be looking in the 3 or 4 million pound ball park, for a 2 or 3 year contract.Airman Brown said:

I though Tex was said to be on something like £10-15k a week?2

Scoham said:I though Tex was said to be on something like £10-15k a week?£12k PW I think was the figure given by Robinson in the pitch to an opposition manager in earshot of lots of Charlton staff.
I don't think a free transfer means that all of a potential transfer free goes to the player.0 -
No but if Brentford were prepared to pay £4 million, a signing on fee AND 20k a week, a total package of £3 million doesn't seem unreasonable.Henry Irving said:Scoham said:I though Tex was said to be on something like £10-15k a week?£12k PW I think was the figure given by Robinson in the pitch to an opposition manager in earshot of lots of Charlton staff.

Theory of the day.
Dalman and Muir join forces and finally get rid of Roland. Warnock has some time out of management, the strain emotionally and physically has been too much for him now, but is always on the end of the phone to Bowyer offering advice if he needs it, including working with new Chairman/Owner, Dalman.16 -

Does anyone know if we’ll be having another Fans Forum/takeover update soon?0

If it went through at the beginning of the week it'll be a Happy Monday.killerandflash said:
Bez is buying us?Athletico Charlton said:
But why would Jeff Bezos need Muir to join him when he alone has £112bn? 😀Airman Brown said:
Seems he was there to meet another interested party. Muir has previously been willing to join up with other potential buyers, so that makes sense.T_C_E said:
If I had to guess, he’s wanting to show fans he’s still about and getting them to ramp up the pressure on his behalf by protesting.dajavouslagan said:Muir is obviously sending some sort of message by attending! Has to still be interested or why be there?! Maybe because of all the issues with investors pulling out he is thinking of going solo. 🤞
