    Anyone know who the bloke next to Elliott is in the Newsshoper photo? Pretty sure it isn't him but looks a bit like Usmanov - owns 30% of Arsenal (and is looking to sell those shares) and 30% of Rangers and is the business partner of Moshiri, who is the majority shareholder at Everton, a deal brokered by Keith Harris.

    Don't think it's him but not too dissimilar.

    You're right. Sorry for the diversion. But at least now we know Bob's a Lifer, I'm sure everyone would really be pleased if he could explain his tweet which kicked it all off.

    FWIW, I've heard this morning from other decent sources that the rumours regarding the structure of the deal (landlease, cut on transfers and funding via share issue) have no credibility. Which seems like good news to me.

    There is conflicting information, some of it anecdotal, but I was also told that it is a “clean” deal - and that is the only way (lease element) it can be completed without the ex-directors.
    Airman, can I just check that I understand you correctly. Are you suggesting that the ex-directors are looking after the interests of the club by blocking any deal that would give Duchatelet any level of control over the club or income from the club post-sale?
    Simply they have had no approach or contact from the Aussies or re the Aussies as of yesterday.
    I heard the same, my question is why have they not called a Creditors meeting, isn't there a requirement in their Loan Documentation to inform Lenders of a potential change of ownership.
    Maybe their Lawyers are watching to see what happens.
    Either way you would assume as a group of seven substantially wealthy individuals ,that Roland's actions are being monitored.
    They are not “a group” of seven though, as you know. At least three of them wouldn’t put Murray out if he was on fire.
    I know but stating 7 wealthy businessmen,you would think 3 or 1 or 4 or whatever number individually would have their Lawyers on the case.
    If the standing agreement is that their loans can be rolled over without agreement as per Aimans understanding of the situation and we know that none of the magnificent seven have heard a dicky bird. I’m not sure what their respective legal teams can be on the case of.
    They can be rolled if buyers don't want charges or more importantly their Lenders don't, but if they were a cash rich group with Millions to spend,why would you leave charges in place.
    Particularly when at least one major creditor in that group would do a deal to stay involved.
    Unless they are still scrambling for funds as they have been for a year.
    I think you've got that 100% the wrong way round. Why fork out £7M if you have no need to do so. Would you ?

    If I was buying something and was told you can have added protection (insurance) for £7M, there would only be one answer.
    In fact I wouldn't shell out an extra £50 if I deemed it unnecessary.

    We can assume that one of the seven knows something.
    Maybe someone knows (or assumes) something by omission, if they haven't heard from anyone.

    No contact would mean the loans will be rolled over - there would only be contact if either the loans were to be repaid or a part buy/part lease deal was on the table.

    seeing as Murray is one of the seven I think we can safely assume at least one knows

    as stated before , if you needed to borrow £20mn and the Lender wanted first charge as security , then you might have to pay off £7mn to get the £20mn.
    Or unlike Roland you might have done your DD and want to put your own Debt in and want first charge rather than unsecured debt.
    My point is if they don't need to pay off charges why has it taken over a year for anyone to buy the club, you can only assume because they are not mega rich.

    Murray is a non-exec and there is no reason he would be involved with the detail of the deal between the buyer and seller, apart from being mine host at The Valley.

    For understandable reasons, the ex-directors look at the situation through the prism of their loans, but if you take out Murray’s element we are “only” talking about £4.4m between six people. In the context of the deal that’s about ten per cent.

    IMO their significance is that RD hasn’t wanted to meet the liability and the buyer/s haven’t seen what the hell they have go to do with them. That’s why they have been a problem in any deal, rather than just because people want to borrow against the assets or take leases, if indeed they do.

    There is also no reason to suppose Maurice Hatter or Dave Hughes wouldn’t agree to leases and they are £1.5m, although I defer to anyone who knows better.

    You seem to have ignored the fact that they may not be willing to pay £48M for a club worth less than half that ?

    Could it be Philip Aiken? He was apparently sniffing around Coventry a year ago with Murphy. https://coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/who-gerard-murphy-philip-aiken-12966086

    He, too, is Australian but lives in the UK. He is Non-exec Chairman of Balfour Beatty the construction giant. Here's a photo for comparison:

    I wondered about that last week, but I wasn’t convinced by the hair and I am aware that Aiken has said recently he isn’t involved. Could be a relative?

    Surely it has to be a done deal by now. There is absolutely no other reason Muir & co would turn up two games running wearing a Charlton scarf.

    You're right. Sorry for the diversion. But at least now we know Bob's a Lifer, I'm sure everyone would really be pleased if he could explain his tweet which kicked it all off.

    FWIW, I've heard this morning from other decent sources that the rumours regarding the structure of the deal (landlease, cut on transfers and funding via share issue) have no credibility. Which seems like good news to me.

    There is conflicting information, some of it anecdotal, but I was also told that it is a “clean” deal - and that is the only way (lease element) it can be completed without the ex-directors.
    Airman, can I just check that I understand you correctly. Are you suggesting that the ex-directors are looking after the interests of the club by blocking any deal that would give Duchatelet any level of control over the club or income from the club post-sale?
    Simply they have had no approach or contact from the Aussies or re the Aussies as of yesterday.
    I heard the same, my question is why have they not called a Creditors meeting, isn't there a requirement in their Loan Documentation to inform Lenders of a potential change of ownership.
    Maybe their Lawyers are watching to see what happens.
    Either way you would assume as a group of seven substantially wealthy individuals ,that Roland's actions are being monitored.
    They are not “a group” of seven though, as you know. At least three of them wouldn’t put Murray out if he was on fire.
    I know but stating 7 wealthy businessmen,you would think 3 or 1 or 4 or whatever number individually would have their Lawyers on the case.
    If the standing agreement is that their loans can be rolled over without agreement as per Aimans understanding of the situation and we know that none of the magnificent seven have heard a dicky bird. I’m not sure what their respective legal teams can be on the case of.
    They can be rolled if buyers don't want charges or more importantly their Lenders don't, but if they were a cash rich group with Millions to spend,why would you leave charges in place.
    Particularly when at least one major creditor in that group would do a deal to stay involved.
    Unless they are still scrambling for funds as they have been for a year.
    I think you've got that 100% the wrong way round. Why fork out £7M if you have no need to do so. Would you ?

    If I was buying something and was told you can have added protection (insurance) for £7M, there would only be one answer.
    In fact I wouldn't shell out an extra £50 if I deemed it unnecessary.
    as stated before , if you needed to borrow £20mn and the Lender wanted first charge as security , then you might have to pay off £7mn to get the £20mn.

    Think sunderlands EFL approval has been about 10 days in the waiting so we may have a little way to go yet, assuming its reached the EFL that is.

    wonder how many more months of this shit have we got to go through?

    Not sure, but I plan to retire in 2020 so maybe I can have a joint retirement/takeover celebration?


    Or will we be in the Champion's League by then?

    And Bob Whitehand has revealed he's a big Van Susans fan.

    The plot thickens.

    We don’t know who is involved beyond Andrew Muir, or what Muir is willing to put on the table, so it’s pointless speculating in my view.

    Anyone know who the bloke next to Elliott is in the Newsshoper photo? Pretty sure it isn't him but looks a bit like Usmanov - owns 30% of Arsenal (and is looking to sell those shares) and 30% of Rangers and is the business partner of Moshiri, who is the majority shareholder at Everton, a deal brokered by Keith Harris.

    Don't think it's him but not too dissimilar.
    Could it be Philip Aiken? He was apparently sniffing around Coventry a year ago with Murphy. https://coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/who-gerard-murphy-philip-aiken-12966086

    He, too, is Australian but lives in the UK. He is Non-exec Chairman of Balfour Beatty the construction giant. Here's a photo for comparison:

    You'd have to add a touch of "Just For Men" mind.
    No I sent it to my pal last week who knows him and he confirmed it wasn't him. He also told him he wasn't involved any more.
