No need for the other parties to complete DD if the first party makes RD an offer that he finds acceptable. Unless the parties who have entered but not completed DD agree a clause that the club will not be sold until a certain date (don't know if this is possible). But it's in RD's interest to get a 3 bidding against each other.
Good chance that they've not made such an acceptable offer... I'd rather they'd all do it and we end up with the best (not necessarily richest) for the club.
RD will sell to whoever offers him the best deal, he won't give a s*** about CAFC, or it's future.
My meaning was that hopefully we end up with the ones that are best for the club in spite of Roland as all 3 completing due diligence will adjust the offers based on how much each party wants the club.
Party 1 - Quick to the table and has hung around - a degree of actual interest is assumed. Party 2 - Not as quick as Muir Party 3 - Very late to the table
My Guesses
Party 1 The Aussies we have known about for ages - with Andrew Muir Have completed their DD but issues have occurred with either the final price and or the finances to pay RD Also Roland might have doubts about his future fees (those Dance classes don;t pay for themselves) are so close to buying the club that have spoken to KR (hence his comments yesterday about 4 players waiting to come through the door)
Party 2 The Exciting Party who substantial financially and who @Redhenry alluded to Probably about 3/4 way through DD (probably gone through quicker than the Aussies as most of the problems the Aussies DD brought up would have been sorted (planned to be sorted) by the club. The one Roland ACTUALLY wants to sell to as they have money that he can try and get out of them
Party 3 Roland's Mate Possibly Murray, possibly someone Roland has worked with before This party i don;t think have any real possibility of getting the club, unless the others back out, and are being used as a way to Drive up the price, or speed up the proceedings
However @Airman Brown did say there were at least 3 parties. This means that there could be other Parties involved that we know nothing about
I think RM is associated with one and has given KR assurances about what will happen if his consortium is successful. Don't believe any other interested party would have spoken to KR.
I also hope that part of the fee/debt is payable to RD on Promotion to the Premier League - that way what's best for the club and what's best for him is the same thing, he will be more inclined to sell to the bider with the pockets and skills needed.

What really sticks in my craw is that Roland has wrecked Charlton, loaded it with tons of debt, got bored with it and then expects to be rewarded with a huge pay-off after somebody else's success gets the team to the Premier League.
Wonder if it's too late for CARD to get hold of a few thousand rubber rats to adorn the pitch as RD enters stage left to hand over the keys to Our Saviour ( whoever that might be )?
Would HATE to see him come all this way & not receive a pertinent "welcome" .....
I believe that everyone has learnt from their mistakes and that we should give Roland one more chance and allow him to get the dream team back together.....him, Katrien and Karel.
#Newshopper ROLAND DUCHATELET PLANS TRIP TO UK TO WATCH FIRST EVER FOOTBALL MATCH
Charlton Athletic owner Roland Duchatelet will make a rare visit to English shores to watch what is believed to be his first live game in the country.
He will be at Brunton park to offer morale support to his surrogate daughter. Friend of the family fellow country woman Katrien Meire in what will be her first game as CEO of league one destined Sheffield Wednesday as they take on Carlisle united in the FA cup on Saturday.

26 days to go till the end of Jan
Roland, this is what's happened to our beloved club under your ownership. This is what you'll see from your seat in the Directors Box.
Before
Now
Just sell the Club

Exiled ? When were you last there ?
Dancing and hopping mad are two entirely different things
