The Takeover Thread - Duchatelet Finally Sells (Jan 2020)

Can’t see an NDA holding up if the other party were deliberately spreading lies about the other. It’s probably illegal. It’s why I think the Aussies are complicitCovered_End_Lad said:
More likely that there is an NDA in place stopping the Aussies making any statement that is not signed off by RD.ShootersHillGuru said:
I posted above. If the club is lying then why havn’t the Aussies called him out on it ? My guess is because that statement is agreed by both parties. We really need to find out why.cafc83 said:It does seem like things are coming to a head this week, with each additional development increasing the pressure on Duchatelet. He now has the national media, the EFL, the fans, the club staff and political adversaries (both foreign in ROT, and domestic in local MP and councilors) on his case.
If the EFL has no current issues with the Aussie documents (two separate sources confirming as much now) then the club is lying when it states that the Aussies are still to submit documents to the EFL, or at the very list obfuscating.
As others have said, this smacks of Duchatelet holding out for every penny he can get but not wanting to admit that openly, with it being far easier to blame the 'Aussies' for the delay than himself. To do so would be a tacit admission of failure and desperation on his part, and the guy is so egocentric and obdurate when it comes to his own self worth and intelligence that he would avoid that at all costs.
My worry is that he is quite capable of letting this continue on for a good while yet, regardless of the damage to the club in the interim. He simply does not care about the club in all of this, the people, the fans, none of it. Just his bank balance.

It would amount to libel if so, would it not?0

Sadly we've got enough badly run clubs now to form a division of their own...
Yes, CAFC's been shafted but there's Blackpool, Orient, Coventry, Sunderland... (and not quite on the same scale: Forest, Birmingham, Leeds, Villa...
And I'm sure there are four or five obvious ones I've forgotten0 -

I know a few on here that would like to shove something up his end!ForeverAddickted said:
Why dont Roland and his lackies just say that then... Of course they wont know the details yet all they need to say is: "The issue is with the Aussies" and thats it, its off their plate and the buck isnt passed to the EFLGlovepup said:Do the Australians have funds? Could this be the hold up, is the asking price too high? If they do buy the club, will they have money to turn things around?
The way Airman's source has spoken makes it sound as though its Roland holding something up his end

It seems we have:-
1. Ozzies haven't the funds
2. It's with EFL
3. EFL have rejected someone
4. Arguing over price
5. Ozzies have scarpered
6. Directors' loans need settling
Can the moderators do a countback, declare a winner and close the thread. I have already wasted months of my life reading speculative rubbish here.2 - Sponsored links:

There are 3 scenarios in my eyes - the Aussies only have the money to implement their plans if Rd reduces his price from that agreed. The 2nd mystery party will pay the price and have the funds going forwards but are waiting possibly for another sale to go through. The Aussies have been colluding with rd all along to stave off protests and bump up price.
I think the last conspiracy theory is a bit far fetched but haven't ruled it out completely but I think 1 and 2 are likely so I'm really starting to think our hopes depend on the mystery brits 'chain' being freed up2 -

It’s only about money that’s the only delay
Nothing to do with EFL addicted passed that info on weeks ago
It’s all down to money
I don’t believe they have the funds they agreed to pay that’s why they are delaying
It may be they have lowered the offer and RD is playing hard ball
Either way they either don’t have it or are unwilling to spend it
The other interested parties are miles away from getting close
Directors ain’t been paid off or even an agreement reached so it’s not about clear tittles
It’s just money money money money

RD appoints Burger Boy CEO, we stay with his shared CFO. Staff get their bonus paid and the EFL will go away ---- we carry on to the road to oblivion
NLA the Aussies don't have the money for phone calls these days ---- someone tell em about Skype2 -

I'd add one, but unfortunately, I've had to cancel my last 31 bookings at the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances.T_C_E said:

Apologies if already posted but a really left-sided guess here and what if the hold up was the potential for a further windfall from the sale of lookman (15% of the profit between the sale figure and £7.5m charlton sold him for) ? The lookman sale doesn’t seem to be happening now so that might clear the last hurdle, if that were to be the case.1

If Duchatelet was lying, where does Murray fit into it, would he have known that while telling us take over was very near?, or would he have been in the dark over it, meaning he has been made to look a fool1

Pretty clear any takeover is off.
Fans will abandon hope, and the club with it, or continue to fight as best they can.
This will probably end with the closure of the club altogether, or if we are very lucky indeed administration and some kind of rescue package.
The question from now on is do we die with a whimper, or if we are destined to die do we go with a bang?
Collectively and individually I hope fans are able to mark the closing down of the club as dramatically as possible.
Duchatelet will remain and oversee our death, no rescue of any kind in sight. Those who deliberately or innocently have a different narrative are being manipulated because of the triumph of time.
