    The 30th June deadline deadline has suddenly flushed a few potential buyers out,  I am aware of some other interest not previous mentioned 
    This is what worries me. RD would love a bidding war. 

    rest assured the club will be sold very soon :)

      Been hanging around like a bad smell for ages.
     I'm guessing promotion put a huge spanner in their pretty pitiful attempt.

    The club has a price around the £30m mark that potential buyers seem willing to pay. Duchatelet wants a lot more and it is highly unlikely intelligent people will buy us at the price that has been reported he wants.

    Surely, not even Roland can screw this up.

    He must know that (no thanks to him) this is his best time to sell the club for a decent price. 

    Now or never Roland.
    He can and probably will out of spite .

    I'm never usually hopeful. Always negative.

    I genuinely feel optimistic about this. Just have a good feeling!

    Be nice to think it will happen but I don’t have such hopes 

    Mine have dwindled away to the old adage that when it’s done it will be announced via the correct mediums at the right times

    Dalman on the left. Who’s the other gentleman?
    William McGonagall.
    He wrote this poem:

    There was a young Belgian called Roland Duchatetelet,
    Who said he would sell Charlton without dismay.
    He said there must be a buyer out there somewhere,
    But none would match his asking price I do declare.
    Everyone who tried negotiating with Roland found that he had lost his reason,
    With the result that he will be with us for at least one more season.
    That is perfect.

    I agree. 
    Unless he is a spiteful vindictive bastard who likes to see us suffer. 
    His electronics business aside, can you find anything in Rolands past that he hasn’t screwed up? He’s the poster boy for failed big ideas.

    Has Duchatelet or LDT released their “these things take time” statement yet?

    I seriously don't think Roland operates out of spite. His motivation is to make as much money as possible. He will sell to the highest bidder, or one that allows him to retain the Valley and training ground,  when HE decides to.

    Cawley saying it’s not imminent but Dalman does have the ‘financial power to compete in the championship unlike others’

    Basically confirming what some on here have thought, the Aussies don’t have the cash to be a viable option.
    So maybe Roland will drop them like a lead balloon for this guy?

    He operates out of having lost his marbles.

    Yes. He definitely doesn't do loyalty or sentiment

    He obviously has few scruples so why should he worry about dropping anyone if someone with a bigger offer comes along?

    Hmmm Dalman/ Charlton/ Red Club / Dalman frontman for Tan?

    It’s been ‘confirmed’ he is going alone...

    Maybe Dalman has been the missing piece of investment the Aussies have been looking for?

    Dalman gets part ownership & the Chairman’s seat that he craves and the Aussies get their football club.
