Thank you Henry. I wasn’t there yesterday so haven’t seen a copy yet.Henry Irving said:VOTV has a lot on the takeover.
Says LDT originally told the party who made an approach before that they would have match the £70+ offer agreed by the other parties.
LDT denied this, eventually, when I pushed him on it at the January Fans Forum but as VOTV reminds us that denial was left out of the official minutes. It was in my own notes posted here.
VOTV continues that LDT then called this party back, presumably imho because the Oz/US deal he and Jim White thought was in the bag, had stalled.
VOTV says price quoted by LDT was £65m (sixty five million pounds).
Lot more in VOTV around the £35m bid etc etc but you can buy a copy.
Seems to me from what you have posted today and previously that the club have deliberately manipulated the minutes to exclude LdT’s comments. This needs to be vigorously challenged and if the club refuse to amend as remembered ( is the FF recorded ?) then all this nonsense about waiting for the official minutes being published before the FF reps report back to their constituency should be ignored.17 -
He should bite anybody's hands off at 30 or 35 million.
The man is simply deluded.6 -
I did ask for it to be reinstated but events such the fake vandalism and EFLgate overtook events.ShootersHillGuru said:

One reason I put my own notes out is that I don't trust the club or apologists like Paul Nottage to be straight with things.15 -
I confirmed yesterday that the ex-banker in the Standard is the same party as the one discussed in the Voice. We went to print before the Standard came out, and before I received a tip-off about the story, so the publication sequence is slightly confusing. It’s why the Standard story isn’t referenced.
I don’t know why they told the Standard £30m, but I am very confident of what I’ve written.2 -

I believe De Turck is playing games when he says the club hasn’t received an “offer” of £35m, because he and RD haven’t enabled the talks to progress to the point where a firm bid can be made.J BLOCK said:

I am told it was made clear to them the party was willing and able to pay £35m and take on the £7m directors’ loans, subject to seeing the DD. RD/LDT haven’t engaged fully at those numbers and they have quoted £65m - although that wouldn’t all have to be up front. The party won’t pay that.

Which begs the question, if there is a 30 million disparity, How were we ever 48 hours away from a done deal ?10 - Sponsored links:

That’s got nothing to do with this party. It’s obvious now that the Aussies (and the British group) agreed a price they couldn’t deliver.soapboxsam said:Airman Brown said:

Given that the contract was submitted to the EFL in May, which Shaun Harvey has confirmed, you can’t argue that the principals didn’t believe a deal was very close - they were simply wrong.2 -
If correct, that is really fuckin annoying.Airman Brown said:

Promotion is a must then so that the Rat incurs even bigger losses in the Championship

How do I get a copy of the VOTV please?

£65m?!
Insane4 -
RD is on record, well radio, as saying he'll let the Club and goodwill (snigger) go for nothing, as long as the bricks and mortar are paid for. So, in true Homes Under The Hammer style, why not get a couple of estate agents round to give it a value? Or does he just not care that the business would are now look8ng at him think ****!
RD, if you're reading this; you're not being ruthless, you're being a Dick as nobody will pay £65m for your f***-up2 -
During the Sky commentary yesterday, in the first half just after the first Roland Out chant started (if I remember rightly) they stated that they believed RD was asking for £35m or that was the figure that had been offered. I think they mentioned it twice.2

As a boycotter, I rarely watch Charlton these days. I watched the game yesterday on TV and thought they played really well; far better than 3 years ago before I ceased attending. However I find it incomprehensibly that supporters can put money in Roly's pocket at 3pm on a Saturday and then trash him on CL at 1705pm and indeed any other time...just my opinion.9

Agree. It’s ultimately difficult to get everyone to follow suit though, despite the fact that zero fans through the door would ruin him.PeterGage said:As a boycotter, I rarely watch Charlton these days.

I can't be the only person that's a little tired of it now.20

So does that mean the Aussie agreed to 65 million before realising they couldn't get enough dosh together or that Duchatelet has put the price up since ?Airman Brown said:

Does the ex banker know how much was agreed with the Aussies before his 35 million bid ?
Normally in negotiations whether you buying a house, carpet or football club you start off with 30% difference and compromise on 5 to 10%. This is the opposite.
This is so unique and weird.0
