The Takeover Thread - Duchatelet Finally Sells (Jan 2020)

Just my view (I am not, in any way, in the know), but I think the Aussies have been looking for a way out (WITHOUT LOSING FACE!) for some time now.
Probably, the consortium fell apart after first doing due diligence, not because of price, but the actual day-to-day costs of running a professional football club.
They don't want to be seen as the bad guys. (What was the name of Muir's electrical company again???) So, they have been presenting continuous "problems" over the last 2 years. (Whether that be the make-up of the consortium, "failing to provide documents to the EFL", the decor in the board room, whether the pitch is South facing, blah, blah, blah...) That way, they can prepare a nice statement, explaining why they are walking away, making it seem they are such a nice bunch, and it was circumstances that made them walk away, rather than a lack of will or resources...
If they are Two Chalets preferred bidder, all other potential purchasers are probably being told by LDV, Two Chalets, or somebody else we don't know about, that they will have to wait to see if the Aussies can actually get a deal across the line...
This may just be Mehmet's attempt to say "Sh1t, or get off the pot"...0 -

33 + 7 to Directors = 40i_b_b_o_r_g said:Are these figure roughly correct?
Asking price = £35m to £40m
Plus debt to be paid to ex directors = £7m
Debt to be quashed by Strapix (RD) = £68m5 -

Might as well make it a long one. Nothing happening here. Think you'll have many leaks before this is resolved.Johnnysummers5 said:I am just going for a leak

Because Duchatelet made about 10 million from Batshuayi's second transfer after leaving Standard, from Marseille to Chelsea for 33 million I firmly believe that he assumed the same practice happened in England as we are all in the EU ( at the moment) Roland either doesn't read the small print on contracts and the Rules of English football or his Lawyers don't pass on the info. That's why we are having the Ex director loan fiasco and Duchatelet being surprised about the Fair play rules being altered.cafcdave123 said:
wouldn't that come under third party ownership which isn't allowed over here?NapaAddick said:
Airman states in his latest VotV blog that the reported sales of CAFC in the £30-37M range do not include substantial payments upon any future promotion or perhaps player sell-on fees. And that the free and clear price is quoted as much higher. No way is RD walking away, writing-off £30-40M in debt now that we are in the Championship when we was unwilling to do so in League One.flyingkiwiDK said:I’ve heard the figure is £37m
Any business man who doesn't do DD because the asking price is low (when RD purchased Cafc for a song) is going to get a lorry loads of trouble down the road.
This is what's come to fruition and why everyone is so frustrated.3 -
Well I guess that will finally put the story to bed. Would the next bidder kindly step forward please?

Don’t see the Aussies ever happening, taken too long, still don’t have the funds.
I genuinely don’t see why they are still trying.3 -

If Dalman is off and The Aussies are nowhere near completing (if at all), with Bowyer and co out of contract, I believe tomorrow, or at least the deadline to sign is tomorrow, we could be going into the weekend with RD still the owner and LB and co. gone!! FFS!!8

So the Aussies have dropped off the radar?JamesSeed said:
