    The Belgian tax year runs 1 January to 31 December - if RD is selling I suspect that this is not irrelevant.

    Feels like we’ve never needed a takeover more.
    Does the radio silence from @Airman Brown and @Redhenry indicate good or bad news?


    Put not your faith in false prophets.

    The truth shall be known only when revealed upon the site that is most official.

    With the news that he's spend €4m on a farm to convert, he's going to want to cut his losses somewhere else. He'll also need to find 2% of his time for his Basil Fawlty work. Plus of course, no-one in their right mind would want to start such a public facing and easy to find business as a hotel when they still had so many enemies at large, it would be far to easy a target.

    To me this all adds up to one thing: the fact that he's going.

    “We will now be reviewing our management structure. Katrien will leave at the end of this month but we’re not looking to directly replace her as we’re currently in talks with various interested parties regarding a potential takeover of the club.

    From the horses mouth ie Duchatelet

    I just hope it's not only the club but also The Valley and Sparrows Lane which he is selling.

    a few on here 'in the know' and yet KM's resignation has not been mentioned at all. Are they as 'in the know' as they/we believe?

    In regards to a multimillion pound takeover deal, whether or not she’s handed in her resignation isn’t the question that will be asked(or answered!)

    I think this was always on the cards for any takeover. There was no way she was staying on without Roly's benevolence. This is therefore just a very happy, but pretty obvious side effect :smiley:

    I don't think anyone ever suggested that Meire was their source (not even Doucher)?

    And as for Doucher's probable source he didn't know either apparently:

    Director Richard Murray added: “I was very surprised when Katrien told me she is stepping down and I am sad to see her go".
