    I doubt if Duchatelet would offer PV a deal at £700m to be honest. In any event, PV’s in no position to buy the club and the price was not quoted to him, but to a third party that had been in talks with LDT for a few weeks. It went up beyond £70m suddenly.

    I don’t know anything about Usmanov either.
  • I see Vienna has been mentioned, so have Ultravox, put a bid in for the club?

    I Believe its Mr X

    Mysteriouser and mysteriouser.
  • If I’m not mistaken, Jim White stated that a 1.5 hour conference call between the Australian & American consortium took place.....the outcome is of course not known........as yet.
    No doubt someone else will confirm this as I’m not 100% sure where I picked up on that info.

    You are not mistaken. It was tweeted this morning and I saw/heard it around 9am. JW said talks were "very positive" - but then again that's politician-speak for nothing settled.
  • We'll consider your application to join #teamWIOTOS but we don't let old riff raff in.
    Well, I'm a member!

  • Starting to hate the Aussies especially if there’s a sweetener for RD to sell to them and dismiss all other interest!

    May I join the stating the bleeding obvious club?

    Although it is only fair to warn you that I would request the immediate removal of any member that had started a speculative thread that had run for over 1400 pages.

    "G'day Roland your looking beaut for a man of 90"

    "It is the brain, the little gray cells on which one must rely. One must seek the truth within--not without."

    Talks remain positive.

    Don’t think that’s likely.
    If it’s true then ....

  • Is that another clue James, Is Peter Andre involved now you little tease?
    Would fit in with the Australian Consortium !

    Cue Jordan as new CEO....
  • I am resigned to the current situation only being resolved by a Charlton fan winning £120 million on the Euromillions, buying the club for £70mill ( or whatever the figure is that week) whilst keeping a ‘rainy day’ £50mill back for themselves.
    Then, they can ask that nice Mr Varney, who would run the club sensibly if they were given it for free?
    That way, hopefully we would get owners who care about the club and can bankroll it properly.
    Well, ok, it’s not likely going to happen, but then again, who could have ever predicted we’d get an owner who got a kid on a lap top to pick the team, and who prefers a good dance to a good win?

    If he is then its clear he'll want to bring in his own Manager

    I’d be the last to know. But I certainly hope so.

    That tweet referred to the talks that took place on Monday night I think.

    Haven’t heard from anyone about talks continuing last night, so they probably didn’t.

    Perhaps there’ll be some positive news tonight?

    Like someone needs to submit a document to the EFL.
  • Is the meeting with the trust tonight?

    I hope we have some good questions lined up then!
  • The questions will be good.
    It's the answers that will be the problem :-(
    Cracking line.

    I don't listen to Talk Sport because I don't like their style.
    White doesn't come out well from that exchange imo.
