    Gillingham away.
    2 seasons ago.
  • I am firmly in the James seed and grapevine camp. From some of the comments I get on my blog which are supportive of Duchatelet you really wonder about the intelligence of some of our fellow supporters . Anyway- my point is this . I buy and sell companies for a living and if I was keen to buy a business that lost £7 to £10m a year with a keen seller - apart from needing my head testing - I would be keen to wait until it was either in administration or as close to administration as possible. If I was the Aussies or indeed any other bidder I would be playing this out as long as I possibly could without completely damaging the asset.
    I would want to pay the previous owner as little as possible and preferably nothing because it’s completely wasted money.
    My negotiating strategy would be to delay as much as possible without completely pissing of the seller whilst continually chipping and nickel and diming the deal.

    But Charlton will not be going into administration whilst RD owns us, unless he wishes to write off the debt to himself and lose the lot.

    Dennis didn't go for years and years because he was looking after his mum.
  • Anyone under 40 will have no idea what I just said.

    I could name a few in a heartbeat of this thread who would never have heard of him regardless of their age.

    Very true

    I thought everyone knew that J Block IS Dennis.

  • Dennis? Who da fuq is Dennis?!?
  • I assume we are talking about Dennis Burgess?
  • herd he still goes and is still a leader

    I can confirm Dennis has returned and sits with me in the West. He even did a few aways last season.

    Maybe once this madman has gone and we start filling the ground again we could get the Covered End to again strike up the chant “Dennis is our Leader”.

    I’m sure that would bring a smile to his face.

    I understand that but the other party would want to push as far as possible because Roland is between a rock and a hard place.

    To have been correct you could have added month, year, decade or millennium :-)

    He really isn't though: he's just getting richer at a slightly slower pace.

    And is probably also writing off loses against whatever tax he would otherwise pay in Belgium. He's also mad. He probably believes another Lookman will be along some time soon to contribute an eight-figure sum to the coffers to partially offset the costs of running the club.
