I think Robbo means well when he talks. I just don’t think his head is as articulate as his mouth try’s to be. We often then get contradictory statements and gobbledygook. Genuinely believe he means well and is trying his best under what must be difficult circumstances.

Whole saga needs a conclusion very soon though.
Completely agree. I think he's in a position that's outside of his job description (re the takeover issues and some of the stuff he spouts). Obviously the stuff he says about the team's (lack of) performance rambles on, and on, and on....
Surely it is Murray who should step forward and say something more about the state of the Takeover now that Robinson has dropped that bombshell? His last two comments have been woefully inaccurate and I do not want to believe he deliberately mislead us to keep us quiet. I think I read somewhere that he is away at the moment but I sincerely hope that when he returns he will (can) provide a clearer picture to us all - after first speaking to Duchatelet. I, for one, can do without my hopes being raised by him only to see them dashed each time. We all know the club is in a mess but this new fiasco over the timing of the Takeover is almost unbearable. Charlton is unrecognisable from the club I have supported all my life and this deeply saddens me.
Never thought I'd say this but I'm so fed up with everything Charlton at the minute, from the scumbag owner, the clueless and out-of-depth manager to the couldn't give a toss players. Giving serious consideration to going to Bromley on Saturday (FA Trophy semi-final). At least the players of both sides (hopefully) will be giving their all.
i was never in the robinson out camp until after these 2 results and his last couple of interviews. cant help myself but im starting to think the guys an utter prick? dross football, wank statements, ive just about had enough 9f his bollocks. im now of the opinion of when/if the takeover happens i do think a fresh approach and start is required now.

Has anyone ITK been able to confirm that it has stalled because of the excessive price RD is demanding for the club?
If the price had been agreed with 2 parties then that is not the case.
Apparently only one of the two remains, I am therefore left questioning whether they are now threatening to also pull out over Roland's delay tactics... Maybe another party is sniffing around and RD wants to know what they might offer?
Pure conjecture, but there's a risk that could end up being accurate.

well Redhenry said that the two parties know what price RD wants but they are not willing to match it yet. so I guess its a waiting game to see if a compromise can be made. RD by the sounds of it has already pissed one previous party off (Scottish lot) as they couldn't bring RD down to a realistic figure.

Yet RM said they had both agreed on the price and it was down to the lawyers to finalise.

Suspect its all about the sell-on agreements - Gomez, Gudmunsson, Pope have all exceeded career expectations and will almost certainly complicate the negotiations as to what happens to any sell on amounts.

I disagree on Gomez, but agree Pope and Gudmundsson have adapted better than expected.

yeah. problem is i dont know who's got the right information? should In theory be Murray as he's closer but I'm not sure I can trust him after all that's gone on. was he just saying that to get the fans to simmer down a bit instead of making matters worse that RD is being stubborn and unrealistic with his evaluation of the club. which then causes fans to think it could all fall through because of those reasons and we end up stuck him for a lot longer than we thought at the beginning of the for sale rumours.
unless of course its what @cafc-west and its become complicated in the areas such a sell ons

It has stalled because Roland shopped around and jerked people around. Now buyer(s) can see likelihood of us getting Promoted diminishing fast and are playing a waiting game. Ask yourselves what is the rush, why take on monthly losses ,price today has to be lower than January when we were in a better position, and most buyers left at £50mn asking price. Every £1mn cheaper the club can be purchased at pays for a month of losses, and as long as this doesn't drag on until July/August then there is still plenty of time to sort out squad. Roland is going to have to drop his asking price or keep building up debt through monthly losses, while club crumbles and its value disappears. If it happens soon it is because Roland has blinked in the game of Poker going on.
We were told it [the takeover] was going to be happening in January and we couldn’t do anything because no one knew what was going on. We can’t afford a summer like that.

The longer we are stuck with Robinson the less time a decent manager has to look at:
- What they have in the squad
- Analyse player potential
- Decide on what deadwood needs releasing/selling
- Finding what player options there are to replace/improve upon current players
- Building a management, coaching and scouting team.
- Working out the best formations (plural) to get the best out of the players
Quite a lot of work that needs to be done long before the transfer window opens, then on getting into a position we are ready for the new season...
