I'm sure that there is no joined-up thinking at the club and that the 12th has no significance at all. Although there might be a number of people that can't wait to get their season ticket applications into the club because we've won a few games recently.0

If the 12th has no significance at all why bother saying it in the first place then? RM must know that he can’t keep stringing us fans along like this.superclive98 said:I'm sure that there is no joined-up thinking at the club and that the 12th has no significance at all.

The season tickets had to go on sale at some stage. They plucked the 12th out of the air.flyingkiwiDK said:

No need to mention the sale at all. Very strange statement.superclive98 said:

Agreed, they could have just said that season ticket details will be released on the 12th and left it at that. If a new owner arrived in the meantime I doubt anybody would begrudge a new owner announcing they were delaying season ticket sales a few days whilst they studies their options.ShootersHillGuru said:

Yet again, I will refrain from purchasing a season ticket, and will not do so while Roland is still in control. I really do despair of this moron accepting any offers and fear he will still be here come August. There's something to cheer us all up!2

Could just be stringing us along to make us think that the sale is going to happen imminently, so there is no reason not to buy season tickets.4

He has lowered it to 40 mill apparently. Still two left in slightly different bids. Neither been accepted as far as I knoweaststandmike said:
They don't look like they are breaking the doors down now to buy so who knows what RD is asking for.Callumcafc said:
But he can't keep bumping up the asking price to cover those losses... or he could but then no-one will buy.eaststandmike said:

Well, I’m ready to celebrate if he does.flyingkiwiDK said:4 days to go until the 12th.
Anyone else in the camp that the sale will be concluded by then?1 -

When is the penny going to drop for Roland?1 -
The date has not been plucked out of the air. They want to get the information on season tickets out before our last two home games as some like to buy when at matches.
I would also assume that they would like to take the advantage of the feel good atmosphere at the moment. Sensible decision all said and done.
However, CARD I feel should be saying not to renew until new owners.4 -
If what Henry is saying is true it sounds like it has, to some degree at least, 40m would be a significant drop in price. Perhaps he's done that and thrn loaded it on the back end with % of player sales, bonuses, etc and now wants to see if there are any other takers.Uboat said:

True, but no doubt there will be an early bird offer to tempt customers to buy. Some will want to secure their current seat and fear that a new owner will prompt a rush and they may lose it. Some may fear a new owner could increase the cost substantially.superclive98 said:

I suspect we will hear that prospective new owners agree the price which will ease the fear, but some will renew.
A CARD statement may reduce that figure which is why I would like to see one.3 -
I think that most people know that CARD advocate a boycott of season tickets until any sale is concluded. I'm sure that they will, however, reaffirm that position prior to the 12th.3

I would have thought only an idiot would renew at this time. A new owner will want to put their own price on any season ticket sales & I would hope that they have a better pricey strategy than KM's last effort. Also buying a season ticket was more about securing your seat than saving a couple of quid on an "early bird" deal,which is hardly an issue nowdays when the ground is only a 1/3 full.4

Ah, a new week, with no further sign of any kind of sale.
Is it the end of February yet?6 -
So is today the day?0

1) A new owners price may well be more, especially the £175 area. One would hope that there will be a joint statement like they did over Bows appointment.golfaddick said:I would have thought only an idiot would renew at this time.

2) The ground is only a 1/3 full, but a sale would I hope change that. It depends how long the window is to renew before they go on general sale. Then seat retention will be an issue - especially for those who have moved or are new ST holders as I suspect that there will be many returning ST holders hoping to get there old seats back.
Neither of the above worries me, just saying.0 -

So we have yet another date to get worked up about and then be disappointed when it passes with no takeover. I have decided to not get worked up about anything and just believe it will happen eventually, but only when the old goat gets realistic.0

I heard the £40m was made up, in part, of payments contingent on promotions to the championship and the premier league.
How that broke down or even if the £40m was correct I don't know but different parties where offering different deals or less upfront, more on promotions.
Hence Roland had to consider who would pay the most and also who was more likely to be able to achieve success and so pay him.
As ever beware time lag and deliberately false stories (not by cousin Red).

I think Charlton fans are being lied to by Murray and Duchatelet. We are being played like a fiddle and I am sick of it. The two bids were supposed to be agreed months ago. Now we hear that no bids have been agreed. What the fuck is happening?

Tricky Dicky, go to the naughty step.0

If the centime/penny has finally dropped for RD, then their is hope that this rollercoaster is on the downward curve and if 40 mill is the figure now, you would hope that the offers of Red Henry's lot and the Aussie bid is at least 35 mill because if not this saga will run longer than the "Mousetrap" in the west end.Redhenry said:

As another Monday comes around you yearn for progress in these protracted negotiations;
This titbit of info from RH may just be it.
Duchatelet being a Pedant is also adding to the time line. That devil is in the detail.0
