Promotion - he has made it clear he wants out so the takeover will happen at some point.
If it means the buyer having to pay more for a Championship side then so be it - less of a gamble for any new owners only being one step from the promised land.
Promotion. With a decent team that’s now playing to win, the guys managing the first and youth teams being Charlton with a capital ‘C’ and a £175 season ticket, who gives a shit who owns the club ?
On the other hand, if we don’t go up, we get lumbered with yet another manager that doesn't deliver or if the price of season tickets go up then it’s Roland or New Owners out...
If it's a choice between one or the other then it has to be the takeover. If we get promoted and Roland remains as owner then we know that there will be no proper support for the manager (whoever that may be) and relegation back to League One will surely follow. I'd take another year in this crap division if it means that we get owners that know what they are doing and have ambition for the club. On a personal note it would also mean that I could return to actually supporting the team that I have followed for nearly 50 years.
sale for me - we've won a few games but were far from the finished article and without proper backing would easily be the whipping boys of the championship next season, takeover in the summer keep a few of the players on that have perfomed, and think next season we could have a real go of it and get autos, league 1 for me isnt great - the grounds are a 1 visit type experience.
There's no long term future under Duchatelet. If it means being in League One a little longer but having a genuine footballing ambition again and a culture suited to the club's values, I'd take that over short term success all day long.

What he said. I don't care if it means we're stuck here for another season, the club simply can't take much more of his mismanagement.

Regardless of who the owner is i always want the best for my club, and another year stuck in this shit division is not the best.
If it's the latter then I'll take my day out at Wembley please..

Either we'll go up and get sold as a Championship club or we'll miss out and get sold as a League One club.
If I had to choose for arguments sake though I'd take the Takeover all day long
Will be harder to get out this division next season
Go up. The buyers will be back.

Luton will probably come up and will be a threat, whilst coming down I'd expect Sunderland to do similar to Blackburn.
Other than the usual suspects I'd say League One could be slightly easier

Although I don't rate Chris Coleman as a club manager
