Without knowing the machinations of the negotiations that were taking place with Roland at that time it’s impossible to know what was in their minds. I believe Roland told them on more than one occasion it was a done deal, only for him to then change his mind. Yes, it looks like they were being a bit previous from the outside, but given that he’d probably just given them verbal assurances about the sale it’s probably not that surprising.T_C_E said:

I heard the opposite happened, that after a price had been agreed and a middle eastern group dropped out they lowballed on the agreed offer at the last minute.JamesSeed said:

I imagine both parties were playing games throughout the entire process, which is why it was never completed.3 -

Why do you keep referencing the Aussies with little tongue in cheek comments then, when you get a bite, come back with these pointless defensive posts?JamesSeed said:

What a lovely piece on the Upbeats, travelling from Sparrows Lane on the coach to the game, and then onto the actual game and watching them celebrate both of Charlton's goals. A really nice piece and well done to SKY for highlighting the work done. Southall there as well, pictured with the upbeats and looking very happy.11

It's a network for business professionals to link up and potentially build a relationship based on their profession, to open doors for jobs and job postings. It's not for football fans to pester the prospective owner of a football club etc.Chizz said:
