    Worrying if it’s Muir who has pulled out. He has, I think, been at the negotiating table the longest.

    So is it the Aussies or the one Roland Trusts? That have left?

    Any reason why they pulled out?

    Hopefully it’s Roland’s mate who’s gone, leaving us with mega rich ones and Aussies

    Remind me, the ones you were told about are those where money isn’t a problem - yes?

    Maybe it’s the one who two sheds trusted that has pulled out (if they were ever in) - and assuming it was Uncle Dickie.

    Hmm, possibly the Aussies fed up with waiting?

    Wouldn't surprise me, seems like they've been waiting for Roly to lower the price for months.

    Wonder if the reason that he hasn't is because the other 2 seem willing to pay the higher price after their DD is done?

    It has never been his 'mate'. It was discribed as someone he trusts.

    Or Duchatelet has kept Muir hanging around thinking that the new bidders would pay the silly prices that Muir, having done DD, wouldn't.

    So Muir has called his bluff and walked away?

    And if @Redhenry knows then the other bidders will know that too, sooner or later. So when they do DD and get the real picture they will offer a similar price to Muir.

    Meanwhile Duchatelet has to carry on covering the losses, has a very pissed off manager and no CEO to take the flak for him and a FD working his notice.

    So the club remains in limbo until Roland sees sense and takes the inevitable haircut.

    Robinson, like him or not, isn't given what he needs, no planning can be done for the summer, players and their agents start to look elsewhere, be they current CAFC players or potential signings.

    And the home crowd yesterday was 9,500 and most likely even less actually in the ground.

    So while the club slips further into chaos we fans just have to wait for Duchatelet to see sense. That may take some time.
    If an issue found during DD is the reason that Muir wouldn't pay more then RD is surely mental to hope the other bidders won't find the issue. But he is mental isn't he.

    I can only see more and more staff walking away if this goes on any longer.

    Would not surprise me at all if Robinson walks away when RD doesn't let him buy any players in January.

    To be honest if the Aussie’s have pulled out I wouldn’t be to upset, although anything is better than Roland. Not sure they would take us to where we want to be. PV & the Kuwait lot or Red Bull would be fine by me.

    Which one?
  • Leeds_Addick
    Leeds_Addick Posts: 4,700
    Are they rich?
    Will they spend money?
    Do they have ambition?
    Will they keep the name, our colours and the valley?

    If yes to all of the above I couldn't care less who they are.

    Only guessed it’d be the Aussies, seems like half the charlton fans on social media have ran with it.

    don't get the apathy toward Muir. Why are you not upset if it is him that has pulled out?
