Been saying this for a long time, just don't understand why they're still hanging around after two years. Even a bad smell disappears eventually.blackpool72 said:There's plenty of football clubs that the owners would love to sell.
Why persist in trying to buy Charlton for the last two years knowing that the owner is a deluded old fool.
Why not just buy another club instead.
Something just doesn't add up to me0 -
I’ve twice posted that I misread your post. Apologies again. Sheesh.Covered End said:
Yes, that's what it says doesn't it ?Henry Irving said:
Way I read it the price was £33m and Duchatelet sorted the bonds.Covered End said:
Sorry, but I'm almost certain that's what you have been telling us for a while ?JamesSeed said:
That's not what Gerard told me, mate.Covered End said:
James Seed, I think it's more than possible RD agreed to deal with the ex-director loans and then the Aussies would buy for £33M with clean title.Covered End said:
If the Aussies recently agreed, pre Wembley to pay £33M for clean title.Covered End said:Can anyone explain the following?
The Aussies arrived on the scene in April 2017.
Some time later RD & the Aussies made a joint statement on the O/S saying a price had been agreed & the price agreement has been repeated numerous times.
The price was alleged to have been around £65M and other offers in excess of £33M have been turned away.
The Aussies filed papers with the EFL and turned up at last seasons play offs wearing scarves.
Yet another year later it is suggested they had & still have the funds to proceed, but the price has mysteriously halved to what was agreed and yet they still haven't done the deal at half the agreed price and are possibly arguing over a £7M figure.
Can no one explain my post from yesterday ?
Why did they originally agree to pay £65M ?
My only explanation could be that the upfront cash sum would have been something like £20M, with the remainder paid in stages.
However, even if this is now the hold up, it still doesn't explain the last year of inaction, when we were told on the OS that the price had been agreed by both parties and the Aussies filed papers with the EFL.
It's still only Poplcon that has tried to answer, which indicated no one else can.
Surely, you said Aussies agreed £33M ?
RD was to clear the ex-director loans, so effectively he gets £26M ?
Aussies own the club with clean title for £33M ?
If you've not been saying this, then I'm astounded.
Duchatelet then tried to pass the bonds on to the Indian/Yank/Oz group so making it £40m
There must be something in the air today :-)0 -

What a splendid part of the universe we live in.Charlton_Stu said:
Someone has asked him if it's news about Dalman and he answered no.carly burn said:0 -
Totally agree, just like Bowyer's contract negotiation, he went off fishing at the deadlock and look what happened.JamesSeed said:Have to say if I was the Aussies, or Dalman, I'd walk away, like probably countless other potential owners already have.
The fans, players and management are suffering because we're owned by someone with a tenuous grip on reality. And it goes on.1 -

It's the same as the American guys did at Man U, although they bought the club with borrowed money and charge the interest to the club.sam3110 said:So he technically didn't pay anything as he just added what he paid onto the debt?
And he is charging interest on that, in essence adding more money to the debt that he then wants someone else to pay for?
I don't get it
So it seems they get to be in the big time, without actually pulling any of their own banknotes out of their pocket.0 -
