Let’s ask LDT then and see what he says.Stu_of_Kunming said:Why would he want to deter anyone though, it doesn't make any sense, once again it's hinted that there's evidence, but none is provided, a load of BS, imo.
When losing 1m a month surely you'd be willing to sell to anyone who meets the 'actual' price rather than dig your heels in and wait for a group who clearly don't have the required funding in place to get the deal over the line.
The aussies, have dicked around for a year, that's 12 months of extra loses RD has incurred, yet we're supposed to believe otther parties are quoted crazy numbers to protect them? Nah, not buyingg that for a second.3 -
Does anyone else think of this every time LDT is mentioned -

I'm aware that, until now, at least one member of the FF has stated he has no reason to believe that LDT has not been telling them the truth at the recent update meetings.Airman Brown said:
If he’s the honest guy that some believe him to be then he won’t be comfortable lying. And he might want to consider what evidence may emerge to expose him if he does.razil said:He can simply deny anything we put to him unless we have evidence

A more accurate analogy, considering that the current owner has nothing upstairsi_b_b_o_r_g said:
Is that how businesses this size are sold then?Airman Brown said:
De Turck quoted over £70m to a credible interested party, which abruptly ended their interest.Covered End said:
Airman please clarify, what you are suggesting.Airman Brown said:
Over £70m.LargeAddick said:
Are you able to say what the quoted price was?Airman Brown said:
The quoted price went up dramatically in December and De Turck knows that because he was the messenger.PragueAddick said:Well, I'm a bit sceptical that other potential buyers are being turned away because of the Aussies.Exclusivity? For a year or more? It doesn't seem like rational business behaviour to me. But then again, this is Duchatelet we are dealing with here.
I think it far more likely that credible buyers take a look and then walk away once they have seen the price tag. Indeed I'm now able to reveal an example of that, involving a name that has been bandied around on here:
Alisher Usmanov.
As I've mentioned at various times, there is a Vienna based Addick who is a senior honcho in an investment bank there. In 2014, he came (too) late in the game with a bid involving the Arenacom guys and a Ukrainian oligarch. Apparently Usmanov is his client (for other business) so he took the opportunity to pitch the sale to him. Usmanov was interested enough to look over the sale documentation (knowing full well Charlton's League position). However after reading said documents he replied that he wasn't interested. Period.
I also learnt that Steve spoke with Richard Murray in December. Murray told him that he thought a deal was near but he did not say to Steve that he should back off with other buyers because of this.
This reinforces my long held view that the issue is the unrealistic price that RD is holding out for, and the Aussies have so far been the only party willing to even try to reason with the deluded one. For people like Usmanov, it's not worth them wasting their breath.
The Aussies/Americans are discussing a £70M deal ?
Alternatively, how much is their deal for and you are saying other recent enquirers have been quoted £70M to deter them ?
I thought they went up for a price and people came in to make offers. A bit like buying a......... bungalow.0 -

That's it just be patient...;)ross1 said:
It will happen in the next two weeks, I seem to have heard that before somewhereShootersHillGuru said:I think a lot of the posts suggesting no price has been agreed, no bid on the table and not having the money are wide of the mark. FWIW I think something is going down and it’s reaching a conclusion. That’s not the same as reaching a positive conclusion because too much can go wrong at any point especially when dealing with someone like Duchatelet. I do think the two “buying” parties involved are getting their ducks in a row and it will either work out or not in the next week or so.

It’s funny how things can change when you least expect them to. Especially when you’re dealing with Roland.NorthheathAddick said:

I may be falling into the trap of ascribing logic to Roland but what on earth could reasonably be behind that increase in asking price?

Remains a willing seller! Lolrandy andy said:I hope the FF members are taking notes. Need to ask LDT the justification for the price increase, why RD is turning away interest and who is spreading lie about done deals when it's clear that no sane person would ever meet Roland's crazy valuation.

The figure of £70m was mentioned by our esteemed leader no less (@AirmanBrown). He said he heard it was quoted by LDT. Best ask either one if it's true.......seeing as LDT is hosting the Fans Forum tomorrow I would have thought it should be the 1st question asked.....Stu_of_Kunming said:Why would he want to deter anyone though, it doesn't make any sense, once again it's hinted that there's evidence, but none is provided, a load of BS, imo.

"Is is true that very recently you told a prospective buyer that the price to buy us is £70m"4 -
