    No way anything is happening before Tuesday. Duchatelet knows the importance of a birthday celebration.

    @JimWhite round up

    - People brokering the deal have said that club will change hands Monday. (Australians)

    - Money is there and been confirmed

    - Thought to be in the region of 20-30 million

    - 'I know some charlton fans are sceptical but I’m on the money with this one'

    Are you doucher in disguise ? he assured us weeks/months/years ago he would be the first to let us know
    can't confirm yet but lets just say that I've swung into the 'this could well be imminent' group
    That’s all I needed to hear, the doucher stamp of approval.

    LOOKS LIKE HYPE IS BACK ON THE MENU BOYS

    So Jim White said Monday or Tuesday we could be hearing the club has been sold?

    Yesterday it was 48-72 hours
    Today its Monday or Tuesday


    On Tuesday it will be the end of the week

    Lets face it Jim White is a twat who believes anything his best friend Roland tells him
    Today is only 24 hours, so Monday or Tuesday will be 48-72 'working' hours from yesterday. Nothing gets done on a weekend.
    On the contrary, we often get 'done' on a Saturday! But, get your point, so Monday/Tuesday it is then.

    Having birthday bash next Saturday so could be a double celebration!

    Well, what ever happens, it certainly livened up an other wise, probably dull week in January.

    I refuse to believe this is happening. Would’ve been nice to have got it through before tomorrow, as I genuinely think we could’ve had a next to full valley.

    Nope, definitely only about 200 more :smile:
  • Reports of 20-30 million for the sale are worrying.

    What are the odds that we are not totally rid of Dushitelet if these figures are true? He was meant to be wanting 50 million, the gap is too big, a bit like my hairline.

    Maybe he has finally realised 50m is completely unrealistic?
    Hopefully, then we can rebuild the destruction.
  • Feel like a kid waiting for Christmas Day, we’ve all been through so much depressing shit the last few years, at last we could have something to look forward. Just pray that the Aussie’s know what there doing.

    Companies House website will be even slower than the club’s official site...

    Maybe not if the new owners are worse than Roland :smile:

    Or is retaining The Valley and / or training ground.

    Watt repeatedly says "should be happening".

    Let's see where we are next Saturday at 15.00

    Shrewsbury is a good bet.....

    Been said many times that he cannot do that without the agreement of the ex-directors (who have first call on the Valley) or he pays them off. Also the £50m was pure speculation. Most realistic estimates have been in the £30m-£35m ballpark (still too much). Suspect he may have come down a bit or the deal is being structured so that a base sum is paid and the balance dependent on promotion and/or additional money received by the club on the sell-on of certain players, e.g. Gudmundson, Lookman, Gomez and Pope.

  • I've accepted that the players are much younger than me.

    I've come to realise that that now applies to the managers.

    But now it's the bloody owner!

    The one that got me was the bloody pm - when Cameron got in, at least May restored normality, in that respect

    Not sure he can have first dibs on sell-on clauses - third party ownership? I could be wrong. Likewise, no buyer would reward the previous owner for success achieved as a result of the buyer's investments.

    My guess is that he has taken a haircut on the 'speculated' earlier figure of £50m to stem the flow of money out each month. If he has sold now for £30m he could have sold for the same amount a year ago and be the equivalent of around £40m better off.

    This thread started in April 2017.
    With Henry's link to the Daily Mail and an Australian consortium.

    By tomorrow.
    1400 pages on "sale of Charlton"

    1395 pages:fish puns + tangential matters
    5 pages: sale of Charlton.

    We've been round the houses,
    We've been round the world,
    We've been round the Bend.
    And now like the boomerang we appear to be back to the Aussies.

    We've had more folk ITK than a series of Eggheads.
    We've had more done deals than the king of the Jungle Harry managed at West Ham.
    We've had more words written than a library full of war and peace.

    We've had enough now, sale of Charlton.

    Please large lady have a gargle and take to the stage.

    Let Roland Duchatelet be History and a new chapter starts at this wonderful old London football club.

    COYR.

    I can’t help but think back to the last time we were told it was 48/72 hours away after the potential new owner was seen in a charlton scarf in the directors box. WIOTOS.

    Which would indicate that The Valley is part of the deal and the charges rollover.
    Would also indicate buyer is an idiot and is happy to pay £20-£30mn for the Club with no control of it's most valuable assets, as charges are over all assets of the Club.
    Which also means buyer cannot raise any finance against said assets without permission or enter into any Leases on assets.
    Worry if new buyer keeps charges outstanding as this is their best bargaining tool with Roland to get price down.
