    With China being a tight knit community, I'm sure @JessieAddick has heard something and will be along soon to elaborate!

    Can't find it now but someone was posting a few days ago about a Belgium club being subject to takeover rumours. And earlier someone posted an article about the Chinese owners of Granada looking to buy a Belgium and English club soon.

    Tony Adams to be the next manager then... or Gerry Adams, one of the two anyway

    He's probably a fan of one of our neighbours on a shit stir mission. Utter bollocks.

    Kind of a giveaway that his photo is a stock modelling one titled "man in suit".

    He's been known as a completely fake journo for months. People still believed him? Pretty sure it's a Charlton fan behind it too.

    I was referring to the original post about the Aussie consortium, is that a load of ol' bollox too?

    Sorry wasn't just referring to you. As for the Aussies I don't think anything was imminent anyway and if anything I'd say no news is good news, we'd probably hear if they pulled out.

  • I wish we would get some more news :(

    Don't know if I could deal with another season of Duchatelet ownership.

    I think the Aussie rumour is accurate, because it is so obscure that I doubt it would make the press unless there was something to it.

    But remember that in that rumour was the statement that they were trying to find £20M in funding. Which is a really bad sign for our future should they get the club.

    It means the debt would stay "as is" and RD would be skimming £2M per year in interest off the top. Also, if the Aussies are struggling just to find £20M, then where are they going to find money to offset steep losses? Or transfers?

    RD is dreadful but at least he is not broke.

    Just sell the club
  • The Aussie rumour...not enough money, not buying the ground, turn club into an Australian one, mention the word 'farming' sounded perfectly written by someone working in PR by RD to put fans off a sale and give him/KM another go. You can see for some people it has had the desired affect too.

    Completely chuff what a friend of a friend of a friend who works at the club said was that they were gonna give it a go next season zzzzz

    perhaps an elaborate hoax to generate interest in a sale/ embarrass the club

    So many people keep going on and on about the "finding £20mil" and assuming this means they don't have the money to fund us. That's likely not the case. They're a consortium of investors - raising capital from different investors reduces the risk exposed to each individual (think crowdfunding as a retail example). What it means is they have a limited appetite for losses - not a lack of funds to invest. It's how every consortium of investors works where they want a return on their money.
