It's not a "done deal" as the club statement makes clear.limeygent said:I don't believe there'd be any announcement from the club unless it were a "done deal". There's probably some tax advantage to getting it done before year-end.
The year end is not relevant to tax as the club's tax year is july to june0 -
What about the Belgians tax affairs though ?Henry Irving said:

I was suggesting that spending money on a new asset would reduce a companies profit in a calendar year, thus reducing their tax liability, nothing to do with Charlton's fiscal year.0

Hmm he is involved in so many clubs so big investment in players likely?0

Club running at a loss. That's what he's bought. Why ? Does he have a plan ? Will he tell us ? Those are my first questions.0

Sorry this whole story sounds like bollocks. I would caution you to wait until it's officially announced or we'll end up with sixty more pages of conjecture.0

It's not done I agree but why is it "bollocks" ?JWADDICK said:Sorry this whole story sounds like bollocks. I would caution you to wait until it's officially announced or we'll end up with sixty more pages of conjecture.

For those speculating that the leak to the Mail came from the Cash camp, why would they disclose a price that (as above) makes them look a bit silly?

A club win, club statement and a possible takeover all in one week?

Josh is gonna ride back in and complete takeover.....fact0

Only if the buying company's tax year was the same as the calender year which is unusual apart from some retail firms.limeygent said:I was suggesting that spending money on a new asset would reduce a companies profit in a calendar year, thus reducing their tax liability, nothing to do with Charlton's fiscal year.
Even then I would guess people worth 0.5bn have good tax avoidence advisors

That doesn't mean it will get done but not bollocks1 -
Not necessarily him, but that's the one reason Cash and co would want a price out there, as far as I can see. And there is other interest.scabbyhorse said:Josh is gonna ride back in and complete takeover.....fact

Mentioning the bloke's name on the website is a positive sign.0

Here's a brief profile on the chap based on what I could glean from Wiki and poorly translated websites - surprising that he only bought the German team this month also;

By the way, does anyone know how to pronounce 'Duchâtelet'?0

He shall forever be known in South East London as 'that Belgian bloke'.3

The blokes a Waloon0

I work with a girl who is married to a Belgian. Duchatelet is very well known and is generally considered to be smart and a good guy - only surprise is he wants to buy an English football club, but hopefully he sees our potential.
If this happens sounds better than a lot of the other options previously rumoured/discussed.2
