    I like Roland as I now realise that he is being completely misunderstood. The reason for his evaluation £65-£75m might seem too high for a sale of a 3rd tier football club but it is in fact a compliment that he knows we are the greatest football club in the world. And something that is so precious should never be underestimated when considering the emotional value along with the real estate. Roland has obviously realised this and doesn’t feel that the club should under sell itself on what this club offers to the world of football and to the local community. Maybe it’s us fans that have underestimated Charlton Athletic Football Club? 

    Roland In 😉

    We go up and the clown will probably want more money.

    A sobering thought whilst celebrating at Wembley.

    I work In sport and Met with someone today who is closely connected to GM. He was very surprised to hear the aussi  deal hadn’t been closed. When he’d last spoken to GM it was a ‘done deal’. it strikes me that it must have been RD who cocked things up. He said how GM was a bit of a miracle worker in AFL circles . Connected to a whole lot of success in that code. Said that they were really wanting to do something different with Charlton ... become very fan focused involve fans in decision making etc. I spoke of what our Charlton was all about and how aligned GMs  thinking seems to be with Charlton sentiment. I was left with a sense of how close we must have got to a great new era. Asked (ok begged) my contact to feed me with any ongoing intel from the aussi consortium and thereby cutting out @jimmyseed middleman ;)
    Interesting stuff, Kiwi! Thanks for posting.

    Spot on, Soundas.

    The club isn't 'for sale' by any stretch of objective reality.  At the moment there is no chance whatsoever of us being free of the deluded Shitweasel.

    I just can't see how our current situation is ever likely to come to an end.

    Been thinking (and saying) this for some time. Glad to see others are sharing my fears. It's the feeling of sheer frustration and helplessness that pisses me off.

    For the 1st time in its long history, the takeover thread has dropped to page 3. Has anyone got any takeover news? Apart from ‘its not happening’?

    Yes, but no one want to hear from JamesSeed or Airman Brown so they stick to the WhatsApp groups

    Should be a fans forum in April

    page 1 or page 100, it doesn't matter.

    The thread is more important that Charlton Life or even Charlton Athletic itself.

    Finally, some good news.  Thanks to Rich Cawley, we have some important information about the negotiations which are on-going and should make progress over the next few days or weeks.  Seems Duchatatlet has left all the negotiating to Lieven de Turck, which must be a good thing.  There's some mention of how they need to be concluded by the end of June, but obviously the plan is to get them sorted much sooner than that.  

    Exciting times!

    So we won't have a new owner for next season but we may have a new manager.

    Not quite the outcome we were all hoping for.
