Go on the dodge asked the right questions and was not afraid to ask them out loud Shane old 🐍y wasn’t there to answer for himself but atleast he knows we all see it
I do appreciate how frustrating this can be for those not in attendance. At the same time I feel bound by the rules set out in the meeting.
Surprised nothing went out last night as I ‘signed off’ as one of last nights volunteers on the brief statement, but there were others involved and there may have been difficulties for some reason. I don’t think we need to hold the front page though..
There were questions from fans to the absent LdT although how quickly we get responses is unclear. Personally if a sale is near and he’s focussed on that then that’s fine with me if it gets us a new owner.
As for the normal minutes these could take a while I’m told due to other demands of this time of year. Bearing that in mind I will say one thing that we’ve currently sold just under ten thousand season tickets.

I can tell you how quickly we will get a response from LDT, never. What I want to know is who was unavailable a few weeks ago when it was cancelled, Rubbershoes or Ravi?
I got the impression it was a similar situation by they didn’t want to cancel/ delay again. We know LdT is focussed on the sale he’s said that many times.
Last night's meeting was attended by members of the Fans' Forum, the club's Head of Communications Tom Rubashow and Commercial Manager Ravi Patel. The below notes were produced by the club and approved by fan representatives following the meeting.
Lieven de Turck, who is representing the club in takeover talks, was unable to attend last night’s meeting as he is busy with negotiations to sell the club, the below update, from him, was given at the meeting.
The three parties that have been mentioned previously are all still in negotiations with LDT to buy the club.
Selling the club remains LDT’s main priority as the owner is looking to get out of football. He recently sold AD Alcorcon in Spain which is the third football club he has sold in recent years.
The large costs around owning a Championship football club are a barrier for sale. The average Championship club loses around £15m a year which is not sustainable, each season ticket holder costs the clubs approximately £1,000.
A takeover specific Fans’ Forum will take place ahead of the start of the season should the club not be sold by then.
Fans asked questions to be put to LDT which he will respond to. The below questions were asked:
• Is Charlton a more sellable club now it is in the Championship?
• It has been previously said the former directors loans are not an issue, now it appears they are an issue. Has this changed? If so, why?
• Are the Australians borrowing against the asset of the club as part of their takeover bid?
• It was previously stated the price of the club would not change with promotion? Has this now changed?
• Is Richard Murray in favour of the Australian consortium?
Full notes from the rest of the Fans’ Forum meeting will be available in due course.
So, he's too busy to spare an hour or so? What a load of Belgian bilge. He knows he would have to answer some difficult questions, and realises he has been caught out in the past when some of his replies have been exposed as being less than truthful. Duchatelet, Meire and LDT have been a disgrace to their country. The only Belgian to come out of this sorry state of affairs with their integrity intact is Jose Riga.
Utter bilge . Total waste of time . Just as expected . What is clear is we are going to be still under RD’s ownership when the season starts , with an extremely threadbare squad . It’s really depressing.

Absolute jokers.
The rest can wait until the takeover on Tuesday.
An Ff meeting with Lvt isn't just for Christmas it's for life
Or is it I fear, just pie in the sky.

"each season ticket holder costs the clubs approximately £1,000."
So the total opposite of what Duchatelet said in his statement
