    But Duchatalet is an expert at mergers and acquisitions. He knows everything about them and how to close the deal to his satisfaction.

    He's told us that himself, on the record, don't the Aussies know this?

    Has the second bidder pulled out? The third bidder is still sniffing about I heard.

    I thought I'd been keeping track of this thread pretty well, but I'd never heard of a third bidder.

    I give up.

    We're being taken over by a consortium from Sudan or Syria.

    I've heard some good news. It's completely unrelated to the takeover, but thought I'd share.

    I have a hunch that we might see some positive movement in relation to the takeover towards the end of this week. My best guess is Thursday/Friday.

    I’ve also heard that we’re down to just one interested party now.

    Out of interest are you still living in NZ and if so how come you’re ITK all the way out there?
    No. I’m not living in NZ and I’ve never been close to being ITK until the past couple of weeks (and never claimed to be).

    Out of the blue I’ve received some snippets of information in relation to the takeover but, like the rest of you, I am taking everything I hear with a big pinch of salt.
    What have you heard pal?
    I’ve pretty much posted everything I know already.

    Just that my nephew in law and father in law who came to the Shrewsbury game want to come back in future.

    Means that we can make it a more regular day out once RD is gone.

    In other news non-charlton related, our daughter just got through her one year jabs with no fever etc occurring the entire week following it.

    The Aussies were very unhappy with Murray's statement that the price had been agreed with a second party, I'm told.

    After 46 years following Charlton, I'm now going Liverpool

    We have a rich owner now. If the new owner has money the question should be are they going to invest in the club?

    This must be the worst takeover in football history
    Never underestimate Roland's superhuman ability to make a pig's ear of anything football related.

    How do people like Rolly make the best part of 500 million while being such a fuckin dinlow, or is everyone missing something?

    I don’t think anyone can blame him for trying to get the best price for the club.

    The blokes a complete prick and his valuation was way too high admittedly, but he’s clearly taken the gamble to create a bidding war.

    It was always going to come to which party will be be the most patient with his gameplan.

    From what I was told recently, he’s been trying to add money on if we were promoted. I now genuinely believe we won’t be sold until he knows we can’t go up

    I could understand your point if he was selling Harrods or a market leader like err Arsenal ( ;) ). But we're a 3rd tier football club so I would've thought he's lucky to get any interest, specially at his asking price. If it were me, I'd be worried of all parties calling my bluff and pulling out

    I completely agree about the bluffing and that has always been a concern.

    We might not be Harrods or Arsenal but in fairness, we are still talking about a lot of money. If you were selling your house for 300k and two people offered 250k, I think most of us would use the two interested parties to drive up the price.
