  • My fear...

    1. We get promoted
    2. RD decides we are worth £77.5M
    3. Buyers walk.
    4. RD decides he likes owning us after all
    5. We underinvest because RD wants a profit
    6. We lose our best players in the winter
    7. Get relegated in 2018-19 back to L1
    8. RD sells in 2020.

    Part of me thinks we are better off not even making the playoffs, because the better we do, the LESS likely a sale becomes as RD wants a higher and higher price.

    Hope I am wrong.

    Yep your wrong
  • Any actual rumours from today other than Douchers “it will happen” post?

    Maybe, but me disbelief this sale was going to happen has served me well through 686 pages if useless rumours so far.

    1 & 4 are my worry!
    Is it too much to ask to just be rid of him/that era - so me can just all move on!

    There was a meeting last week between RD’s representative from Belgium and the Aussies, according to multiple sources.

    If Rolly was there he probably would have spent most of the meeting talking about his theories about universal basic income.

    I haven’t been wrong in anything either, likewise I haven’t been right!!
  • If I was buying the club, I wouldn't want to distract from what the team is trying to achieve and would wait for the right time.

    Was wondering this during the game yesterday

    i.e. We get promoted, Roland decides he wants even more as we're a Championship side and the buyers walk away
  • Why take the risk?
  • Why take the risk?

    Because he is Roland? Remember, we are only a tiny cog in his empire - he probably thinks about Charlton for a nano-second each week, he's far too busy making money from his other (profitable) businesses. If he is advised by his financial people that there is a chance of making more money if we get promoted who do you think he's going to listen to. As fans we are too emotionally involved and find it hard to comprehend Roland's seeming intransigence when it comes to selling the club. Do you honestly think he is concerned about us or the future of our wonderful club? Money mate and nothing else is what motivates this particular sociopath. The sooner we all accept that the better.
