I don't doubt Dalman is interested but concluding a deal with RD seems nigh on impossible.2
-
I also feel strangely positive about all this, old enough to know that it can all fall down at anytime but this feels different.
A proper football man, knows what it takes to run a club and wants to go out on his own so has a point to prove!
We could really establish ourselves and go for it.1 -
Its all starting to sound to good to be true2

My problem is, forget the buyer, but there seems to be one major obstacle every time. As far as I can see, there has been no mention of said obstacle being removed. We have absolutely no reason to be optimistic.2

Nobody is buying because Roland wants too much. So this is just more of the same crap. Are we supposed to forget he wants too much or assume an even bigger idiot than him wants to buy us at £60m?
Dalman seems like he means business, but he’ll probably discover all the crap that Gerard discovered, and it’s a question of whether or not it puts him off, I imagine. How it could happen quickly I have no idea, but we live in hope.
i.e. Roland.
One of the problems was Roland was supposed to have sorted the directors’ loans. NLA always knew that he hadn’t.

I believe it to be, everyone else is of course free to come to their own conclusions.
I think they did submit some paperwork to the EFL.
But don't believe that the hold up was just the need to submit more, especially as they now, when price has dropped, are now moving.0 -

Vinnie V. said:How much is he worth? After a quite a while of trawling the internet all I could find was 253 million on a site that looked almost entirely like bullshit. Anyone else have a figure?
If he wanted to keep it private, and hold a majority of his money in trusts and other such vehicles in offshore accounts it is very easy to hide your actual net worth.
I personally think with his status and reputation he will be good for Charlton, and don't really give a monkeys about exactly how much he has got in the bank. RD is minted, and look what he done to the club - large sums of money isn't everything, especially if they don't invest it.4 -

"Which is English for..."?6

Are we there yet mum ?
No, because it like when you sell a house?
Explain please mum because two and a half years is a long time in my life.
Well the man who owns this mansion in a prime location in London decides he wants to sell after his Daughter is forced out by the local children who keep shouting at her, because she tell lies.
How did we know she told lies ?
Because her lips moved.
Mum, you said before that the strange old man only came to the house once. Why ?
Well, this mansion was far away from the country he came from and he was a miser and didn't want to buy an oyster card, plus the only reason he bought the massive house was to rear baby animals and then sell them on for a profit, not once but several times.
He sounds a right Douchebag mum.
Well, this man had an offer from Australia, and these men showed up and introduced themselves to the children in the London village by wearing the local scarfy.
Done deal mum,
No unfortunately because there were seven folk who had a financial interest in the house and had to be paid off as well.
Because the old man hadn't read the contract clearly because he wanted to buy the house cheap, which he did, and sell high like stocks and shares.
Well various local children have said, 30, 33, 37,40, 45, 65 70, or 77 million.
Oh mum what a cluster fuck,
Language Timothy,
Sorry mum, but who's favourite to buy now ?
Well the Australians are still treating it like the Brexit negotiations, but there is a big wheeler dealer who has a mansion up north called barrowboy Mike who would be interested as he can't understand the local language up north and wants to come back south, but the rules say he must sell first.
Also a gentleman from foreign parts called Mehmet has made an offer but the old man Roland isn't keen in selling to Johnny Foreigner despite being a Foreigner himself.
What a shitweasel the old man is. how will this end mum ?
In tears son, In tears.

I don’t buy all this he’s a lunatic, mental etc etc. In my interpretation he is most likely not a nice man, wholly single minded and an extremely tough / difficult negotiatior who has little interest in compromise, and most certainly no interest in what’s best for the club.
Ive no idea if it’s true, but if talk that the club and it’s assets can be acquired free of debt and with clean title as a Championship club for under £40m, then I’m coming round to thinking that that is fair value in this industry.
A Championship club sold 1 player for £15m yesterday.20 -
I suspect the reason for delays in the sale, is attached conditions to the contract of sale.
Such as, that RD wants his (or most) of money back, once (if) are promoted to the Premier Division.
Which reportedly the 65 million pounds lost over the course of his ownership.
Promotion has given him the opportunity to play prospective buyers against each other, to drive up the price.0 -

To the contrary @WestCountryAddick
id say if you were to take over a club you’d want it to have as few existing financial commitments as possible as it gives you a better ability to implement your budget how you would want to and not be penalised (like we have in recent years) of having the likes of Sarr, Vetokele, Texteira etc on overinflated contracts1 -

I have a feeling the 2nd reason might be the one, Classic Roland

Its a massive gamble so you can see why buyers don’t want to take the risk.
