    Not sure how true this is but heard from someone today that part of the training ground which has been redeveloped with Footscray has not used since completed they are in dispute with the council. Not sure why ,,,,,Would this have anything to do with the delay of selling the club.

    This is true (AFAIK) but unlikely to be related to the non-sale. It relates to the land that is leased to the rugby club by Greenwich not land owned by Charlton. This part of the project was always very odd, but it sums up RD that he has spent £1m on something that isn’t being used and doesn’t primarily benefit the business even if it was.

    Surprising the council are involved in any hold up since Clive Efford MP for Elthan was wheeled out for a KM photo opportunity at the Training Ground lauding the great work that had occurred over there.

    Note for for younger fans Clive Efford the Millwall fan who when a Labour councillor in 1990 publicly knocked the efforts of the Valley Party

    I heard this afternoon that the takeover will definitely not happen today and maybe not tomorrow. Gutted.

    Roland Out!

    Next Fans Forum meeting soley about the takeover will be on 9 January.

    I think the CAFCpicks stuff is a mis-reading of the last FF minutes when it was said that there was another party doing DD (true, I'm lead to believe from other sources) and that this 5th party would make a decision within two weeks.

    That gets garbled in the re-telling to "happening in two weeks".

    This 5th party may or may not have made a decision and if they have it might be to not proceed.

    When it's on the OS

    I personally think when it does finally happen it will be suddenly, without warning.
    when it happens - and i don't know when that will be - i will announce it on here and that will be followed by an announcement on the official site - that i can guarantee

    I personally guarantee that Charlton will be sold at some point - see I’ve just beaten the official site to the breaking news! I’m a prophet!

    In a nutshell...the thread repeats that "we're not worth the asking price"(whatever that is), and RD loses a £1M a month".

    Sadly we don't have a queue of keen, ambitious, loaded enough buyers who are not put off by this...

    The joke is if, and its a big if, he is loosing £1m a month, he has lost best part of £20m since this thread began!

    If it wasn't so sad it would be bloody hilarious.

    He hasn't lost it though. His company loans the money to Charlton and gets interest paid to him on the loan. He hopes to recover the loaned sums from the exorbitant sum he seems to want for the club. Suspect as some point he will have to write it off.

    Bad journalism, i’m sure that’s Rob Lee, former Newcastle and WHU player and father of two league players ?

    He will have to write it off so he has lost it and any interest he is earning he is having to put into the club to allow it to then pay him it!

    Isn’t your point basically like saying I have not lost my bet that Charlton would be in the Premier League by 2019 because it is still 2018 but essentially it is utterly implausible / impossible we will be in the PL in 2019 so whilst I have not yet technically lost the bet I know I will be writing it off.

    Surely if you are paying out £1m/month and then paying yourself 3%/month from a company that only loses money you will need to find an even richer fool to take that company over.
    I’m glad it’s his money and not mine, shame it’s my club he’s doing it with.

    The interest just increases the debt, I hope to be the king of England one day, it's about as likely as RD getting his money back.
