The buyers arrived from Australia
And sorted the paraphenalia
The scarves black and white
Were stored out of sight
As we put on our Charlton regalia.25 -

If only that were true.The Red Robin said:No owner can be as bad as Duchatelet.
As mad as it sounds there are plenty of others just as bad as him around the Football League, the Oystons come immediately to mind.4 -

He does have a small problem in that he does not really have anyone at the club that he can rely on to do this. RM and Robbo can be relied upon to make it difficult, and it is hard enough to push things through when everyone wants a move to happen.cafcdave123 said:Sooooo, he sells anything of value tomorrow with no time to reinvest then sells in February?
Just to be sure, if I was Robbo I would organise a game of golf for tomorrow afternoon. Phones are unacceptable when playing so everyone would be out of touch for 4 hrs.0 -

The ones before him were probably worse !The Red Robin said:No owner can be as bad as Duchatelet.

So, all of a sudden, this has become a "Roland wasn't that bad" thread and it could be so much worse.
I really don't believe that it could have been worse. Every day of his 4-year tenure has been shit.
Getting a new owner is always going to be a gamble but this is a gamble worth taking.48 -
I just hope our new owners are decent and have the club at heart.
I don’t expect them to throw silly money at it or demand instant success. I’ll be more than happy if they can pull the fragments of what’s left together and have a sensible plan to progress with an ambition to make it work.16 -
No one said it’s not a gamble worth taking or that RD was that bad. The point was made that no owner could be as bad as RD.
I disagree with that and the O’s and Blackpool owners would suggest I’m right.
5 -
Depends how you interpret 'no owner' I'd take that to mean no new owner of us because I wouldn't think for one minute the Oystons or the Orient destroyer would now want to get involved with us or come to that would be allowed to. Anything else is purely hypothetical.Valley11 said:No one said it’s not a gamble worth taking or that RD was that bad. The point was made that no owner could be as bad as RD.

Was it you or Airman that said it was imminent in September? and which one said you can't believe a word RM says?Henry Irving said:
He told you back in September and hasn't deviated from that since.kentaddick said:I’m waiting to hear @DOUCHER ‘s take on it.

Pretty sure he predicted it quite some time back but he couldn't give details so had to use code, can't remember the exact message but along the lines of. DD has not taken place (code for DD has taken place)kentaddick said:I’m waiting to hear @DOUCHER ‘s take on it.
I'm reliably informed that there is nothing happening and its been a non story from the start. Felt it the honorable thing to do to put you all out of suspense. (Code for This will be happening in February, uncle dickie told me)4 -

I believe it was October, and at that point it is pretty much irrefutable that due diligence was taking place for at least one potential buyer. Clearly things were happening when Rick first broke the news, and two sheds announced officially that the club was for sale not long afterwards. You claimed at the time that nothing was happening, and after that you stated that nothing would happen this season. Any other owner would have concluded the sale long before now, the delay almost certainly because Roland changes direction as often as he changes his underpants (but clearly quicker than he changes his shoes).
It really doesn’t matter old chap, it’s an Internet forum where reputation for being ‘in the know’ means bugger all really. Even less so when pretty much proven that said person was several miles away from actually being in the know.

you ask fantastic mr fox, sometimes when you are in a hole the best thing to do is to make the hole bigger and better.
Admittedly I doucher is taking the boggis role to that here0
