  • Why is nothing simple with this clown?
  • I read it as there were two parties, now there's one left and they've agreed a price with Roland.

    I think it can be read differently also.
    Yep, looks like my initial interpretation was wrong there. Interesting few weeks ahead.

    Whoops, I’d mistakenly thought the above was posted by @DOUCHER but he’d never say that eh...

    You are going to have to narrow it down a bit. Who are you talking about? @i_b_b_o_r_g @Airman Brown or @DOUCHER?

    I find it odd and think Prague sums it up perfectly. If two parties are basically in a race to the post one is going to be mightily pissed off. No one, especially those minted as there is a reason why they are minted, chucks money down the drain. Something doesnt add up here.
  • It is usual that a seller has to give a buyer representations and warranties particularly related to the information they have provided in the due diligence process. I have seen business sellers deal with two buyers who have agreed to a price looking to sell to the buyer that wants the least onerous reps and warranties. This puts Roland in a better position to negotiate and, no doubt, he will be very awkward.

    Am I missing something here? How do you agree a deal to sell one football club to two separate parties?

    Maybe Roland really is a genius because I am lost on this one!

    I just don’t understand this. Why ‘a party’ would be progressing with very expensive lawyer fees etc on an agreed deal to find the deal at some stage ‘unagreed’

    Someone help me out
    Smells of the Ozzie’s being used as a bit of a Pawn to me.
    Agreed - at least it's starting to feel something like imminent now....

    Isn't there a 'preferred bidder"? Does the other bidder stand any sort of realistic chance? Roly sticks with his favourites, even when they're useless

    It says between the parties. So it's clear to me that's Roland and a new buyer

    Olly Groome has confirmed two bidders still involved. Please keep up.

    Everyone, please don't let this stop anyone from producing pages and pages of misinformed waffle and all pointless tangents should be taken. Where is Kerry Katona btw?

    I think "again" is unfair.

    "Always" would be more accurate.

    Hope this helps everyone who can’t be bothered to read that it’s two potential buyers and those who are just stupid like me

    Nah she just heats up the Red Bull and uses it instead of water in her pot noodle.

    My guess is @Redhenry is at the atm withdrawing his £77m in £250 instalments.

    I wonder how much the two bidders concerned actually know about each other?

    Putting my tinfoil hat on for a moment... I wonder if the statement has less to do with informing the fans and more aimed at the two bidders to try and rangle up a last minute higher offer?

  • Did we know the identity of RD before he took over?

    Can understand the non-disclosure stuff but I'm desperate to know how much better the new lot will be! ... if better at all.

    Only with Charlton can there be an official statement & then 7 pages later no-one understands what's happening.

    I'm going with Airman & Olly that a deal has been agreed with 2 DIFFERENT bidders & their respective lawyers are now drawing up contracts etc. Presumably RD thought that he was now only dealing with a 1 party, but one has now re-joined the table (having previously dropped out)and RD wants to keep both parties there in case one (again) drops out.

    Back to the house buying process - you can agree a price with any number of potential purchasers & if one drops out you go with another. In our case the previous "dropper outer" looks like they may have re-entered the game, Looks a bit weird as there must be costs involved and both must feel that have a good chance of securing the deal. Again, I can only surmise, but perhaps the "dropper outer" was RD's "preferred bidder" and RD is hoping that they will get the deal done first or that their re-emergence will p**s off the other bidder & they drop out. Who knows with this f**kwit.

    Bloody hell Golfie, I agree with you !

    2 bidders, 1club...... isn't that some dodgy video from a few years ago?

    Several DDs can happen at the same time. We once had 3 on the go simultaneously.
    The two bids"excepted" dont have to be the same monetary value----could be money up front and then bolt-ons , money but certain assets NOT included,all debts paid and all the dosh etc etc

    Its believed RD has a preferred bidder which could mean anything ,but given the old c--nts track record is more than likely to mean he ends up keeping the freehold to The Valley. The other "excepted bid" might be more dosh but RD has to sell the lot.
