The Takeover Thread - Duchatelet Finally Sells (Jan 2020)

Thing is we need a good owner ready to invest and get us moving. We have a ground good enough for the PL. So that's not an issue. If the time comes where we are locking fans out then we can think about what to do. But that is currently a long way away. 12 years ago we were close to that. But alas not now. I'd take rb if they want to invest and if they call it the th valley and it's full again, I'd take that too.2

Thing is no one really seems to know anything... we have the aussies and maybe some kicks but it's all very unclear0

Maybe its gone beyond that now CE, in as much as i can see how blinkered,insular and small-minded some/most fans are - its almost as if The Valley is a shrine, and is ours forever more. I cant stand it that people cant see progress, to me, its so obvious, its on our doorstep, it can only be good for the club and the fans and yet it seems most fans want to stick to their old routine , their old worship place, and are just not prepared to look at the 'bigger picture', and shout down anybody who thinks differently, - it drives me crazy tbh. To me its so obviously a move that could move us up to a new level - an opportunity to have sponsors like Citibank,HSBC,State Street instead of Betdag,Titan lifts (sorry ) and Andrews air conditioning - its just plainly obvious ffs !!!!!!!!!Covered End said:

NB I don't know why you are going on about the Peninsula, because unless I'm mistaken, there is no longer the land available to build a medium/large stadium. I can't remember the detail, but that boat sailed some years ago IIRC.
its an opportunity that i bet someone like Berylson is watching closely, especially in their situation with their ground.
I really, really dont get it.2 -

Don't disagree President. But let's fill the valley first and minimum thst will take 2 years.0

THERE IS NO LONGER A PENINSULA OPTION (unless I am mistaken).7 -
Nah, do it now given the opportunity.superclive said:Don't disagree President. But let's fill the valley first and minimum thst will take 2 years.
If the possibility is there, do it now, move - the support base would very quickly get up and over 28k at The Peninsular, if we were successful.0 -

Strange comment.golfaddick said:I'm not ITK nor do I know anyone who is ITK. I don't think its RB as a few posters are adamant that its not, but just wanted to see why some fans have an aversion to changing th name of the Stadium and / or moving grounds. In the Premiership we have the Liberty Stadium, The Emirates & Sports Direct and 2 of those teams have also recently moved to brand new grounds & I don't see their fans moaning & saying " I wish we didn't have rich owners & were back in the 3rd tier of football so we could enjoy our ground being called the Vetch field"
If we do happen to get taken over by a very large conglomerate, get out of this crappy league & move 1 mile down the road to a 40,000 seater stadium I wont complain. You don't have to come along - you can spend you hard earned money at Welling, Dartford or Bromley.
I believe you have been going long enough to know the importance of staying at The Valley.
There is no importance of staying at The Valley other than to satisfy the dinosaur views of a few luddite supporters. And i've probably been going there longer than you have.
The losing of The Valley, and the successful 'Back to The Valley' campaign may mean Charlton fans will always have a strong bond with The Valley, a stronger bond than most clubs fans have with their grounds.23 -

'UNLESS I AM MISTAKEN' - means you dont FUCKING KNOW.
I'm 99% certain I've read more than once that the land that was available no longer is.
I've read documents saying that the option a few years back was limited to a stadium with a maximum capacity @10,000.
This news is so old I can't be 100% sure as I have a poor memory and I don't like to say I'm 100% certain if I'm not.
PS your continued abuse of fellow fans never shows you in a good light and I really don't understand why you do it, although I can hazard a good guess.23 -
Thank You for your concise summaryHenry Irving said:Summary 2.2.18
Richard Murray spoke to staff members in the days before the Walsall game and told them that there is a "preferred bidder" and the takeover may come in February. The term "Preferred bidder" wasn't explained and could be someone has exclusive legal rights to take a deal forward or just someone Roland (or Murray) would rather buy the club.
RM then meet with the Supporters' Trust/CARD on the day of the Walsall game and told them that two parties had completed due dilligence but one was ahead of the other. RM didn't use the term "preferred bidder to CAST/CARD.
Still no confirmation on who these parties are although strongest rumours suggest that they could include:
An bid including Australian Andrew Muir (which is not the same as the AFC consortium who were mentioned back in April 2017 when this thread started)
A bid fronted by Donald Muir (no relation) and Alex McLeish, who's backers are unknown but some suggest they are South African and others British.
@redhenry has said there were four interested parties but this week cut this to three. We don't know who these parties are.
@Airman Brown appears to have some new information but you may have to buy VOTV tomorrow to find out (or read a version on here). His mood some optimistic and he hinted on twitter that it is the Australians who are ahead at the moment.
Richard Murray spoke to staff again this week, this time at the training ground. The SLP reported that he told staff that there "COULD BE" a deal in February but that timescales could shift.
@nth london addick states that no formal offer or offers have been made.
There is absolutely no, repeat NO, evidence that Red Bull are involved.
The transfer window saw no sale of Konsa but also no purchase of any new players. Three players joined on loan. This can, and has, been interpreted as meaning both that a sale is close and that a sale is a long way off. Robinson confirmed that Duchatelet had final sign off on deals on deadline days and rejected bids for Magennis and possibly Fosu and Konsa.2 -

Ask West Ham fans how they feel about their move. I worked with a few, and they weren't happy at all. Of course they gained some neutral spectators. It was a good corporate move. But where's the soul in that? Or is 'soul' only for dinosaurs?9 -

This has morphed into a general discussion about the dinosaur attitude of Charlton fans generally.
We all know/understand/appreciate/are aware that the Peninsular option *might* and i stress *might* not be available - but my gripe is with the negative attitude of fans towards any such move should it arise.
Maybe if you had taken the time to read it fully you might have been able to come on here with a more erudite message rather than blurting out your big-i-am capital letters or accuse people of being drunk !1 -

Try and work out why the gates are down. Maybe it's not just to do with the location? They were big before, there's no reason they can't be substantially increased again. You need to offer a decent product, a club and a team to believe in, and trams [oops, I've just blown it....]7 -

As the Rabbi said
"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"
That doesn't mean nothing changes, nothing moves on.
Charlton have changed and re-invented themselves again and again and I really hope we do it again very soon because we badly need a reboot.
Man City have kept their colours, their name and a slight variation on the badge. They'd already moved grounds.
So yes I'll take mega rich owners who "buy" success but that doesn't mean we have to lose everything else.
It's not an either/or deal.
And until we have new owners this is all just fantasy.17 -

How much has DD lost since purchasing the club.
The figure most quoted is £55 millon. Now take £18 millon (His original purchase price) from £55 million , that leaves £32 million.
Is DD trying to recoop ALL his losses.
The old goat is wanting all of his money BACK.
Until someone bids, on or near this figure, he could will sit tight and hang on for as long as possible.

To me its so obviously a move that could move us up to a new level - an opportunity to have sponsors like Citibank,HSBC,State Street instead of Betdag,Titan lifts (sorry ) and Andrews air conditioning - its just plainly obvious ffs !!!!!!!!!Covered End said:

NB I don't know why you are going on about the Peninsula, because unless I'm mistaken, there is no longer the land available to build a medium/large stadium. I can't remember the detail, but that boat sailed some years ago IIRC.
its an opportunity that i bet someone like Berylson is watching closely, especially in their situation with their ground.
I really, really dont get it.
THERE IS NO LONGER A PENINSULA OPTION (unless I am mistaken).
'UNLESS I AM MISTAKEN' - means you dont FUCKING KNOW.
Sorta sums up the mentality of the people i have been talking about.
I'm a bit peed off after my hairdresser was a tad gung ho with his scissors this afternoon.
I'm trying to resist that bar of Galaxy in the cupboard.
Plus, to top it all, I've run out of wine.
I can just about cope with all of the above ....
....but you're REALLY getting on my t*ts now !
Isn't it past your bedtime ?
