    Have to say, I’ve lost faith in the Australian bid. Every update relates to them sending documents to the EFL

    To which the EFL say they aren’t waiting for anything.
    So who is lying?

    It all reads like utter garbage to me.
    Fairly sure the EFL's only stance was that they are not responsible for a delay.

    Which I read they’re not waiting for anything & aren’t sitting on anything.

    It’s all down to the price simple as. He wants too much & no one is willing to pay it.

    Agree with your conclusion but the EFL have not said they aren't "waiting for anything".

    Seems people are falling over each other to buy us now. Not sure if I believe it or not. It is all very curious though.

    Ok.
    They’ve said they’re not the reason for the hold up. Which leads to my explanation of it.
    Either way. Charlton are still lying to us.

    If the Aussies are taking so long because after 6 months they still need to sign documents, then F-them. What kind of owners are they going to be? Maybe they will start researching 2018 winter transfers in the summer of 2019, six months later? Screw that. I've had enough of the Aussies. Go back to Sydney as far as I am concerned.

    EFL - "We're not to blame for delay"

    Charlton Fans - "They're not waiting for anything."

    Most realistic truth - EFL are waiting on something. Therefore those delaying handover to EFL are to blame entirely.

    Aussies are to blame.

    The EFL have not said they are or aren’t waiting for anything. They have only said that nothing is with them that they haven’t dealt with. Nothing to suggest anyone is lying. The Aussies have confirmed that they have papers that they need to submit and have not done so - yet.

    I am just pleased that others are interested, and more importantly, he still wants to sell.

    The only bit of that I believe is that he still wants to sell.

    “He still wants to sell”.....Mmmmm.....not sure how accurate that statement is to be honest. If he was that keen, he’d have dropped his asking price long ago.
    Having said that, we (the fans), don’t really know what the asking price is do we......there have been so many different suggestions ranging from £20,000,000 to £50,000,000 that it’s utterly preposterous......though the upper figure would seem to be the more likely rather than lower.
    The puzzle continues.

    Unless LDT is lying through his teeth it means the Aussies are actually blocking a sale. If they’ve agreed to pay his asking price but actually can’t, you can understand RD believing that his price is reasonable. An alternative buyer would have to get pretty close. He doesn’t seem that bothered about the losses he is racking up.

    If we believe what’s been said by those ITK, they upped there bid to match the Mega rich Saudi lot (40M ish) then subsequently are refusing to go above 25M, so they’ve already booked one sale

    I believe that more than ever we need the action that ROT are taking in Belgium coupled with as full a boycottas we can achieve to incentivize a sale.

    I don't think the Aussies have confirmed that at all, Rob. Where have you seen such a statement? This is all coming from the mouth of LdT, and it seems a rather odd state of play if true (and lacking some other important information that he probably isn't telling us).

    Once we passed significant dates such as the start of pre season, or the actual season, or when the transfer window closed there was no point of hurry about any takeover.
    Bowyer going from caretaker to actual manager may be the most significant indicator regarding Roland, but it is pretty laughable that nobody is in actual charge.
    To an extent we are like a ghost club.

    IF the clubs statement is true then my conclusion/guess for what it is worth is that the Aussies won the bid, started to submit everything to EFL and either an investor or two were tuned down by the EFL or have walked, leaving Murphy scrabbling for new ones. The Aussies remain somewhere in that hunt. The EFL confirm they are not holding up the process, the club confirm the EFL needs more paperwork... both are correct.

    Now if I was the vendor and this happened I would explain to the purchaser that their exclusivity had passed and I was going back to market and I would contact the second bidder, the Saudi’s. Weird thing is they seem to have lost interest all together.

    I would then go to third, forth bidder etc and publicly re-market.

    My guess is Aussies looking for new investment they may never find; second bidder fictional as frankly, something would either have leaked or they would have got further than they have. The other 3 appear so early that, if they exist at all, you will find none actually have the funds. Was it Murray before who said when trying to sell he was constantly inundated with time wasters.

    I am going for one being Ackworth, one being CARD trying to find out the price being quoted and one being Darren Purse.
