The Takeover Thread - Duchatelet Finally Sells (Jan 2020)

The daft thing about this haggling over a price for me is fairly simple. - Roland is worth around one Billion. He is haggling over £7m
So the equivalent for one of us is if we were worth, say, £100,000 - this is us haggling over £700
would you write off £700 to dispose of a business you are bored of, that is giving me a load of grief, thousands of people hate me, and is costing me £70 a month to keep it running. And that is increasing.
I know I would18 -

Bully for Simon Jordan if he is taking a stance that is sympathetic to our plight.
I don't suddenly feel compelled to declare him as my new best friend though.

So, the price "was" £33m. Then Douchebag added £7m on promotion or laid the responsibility for settling the £7m Directors loans to the buyer. Not sure which of these is true, but I don't think it's both. Is that the case?
Now the price is £50m? Is that another £10m up front, or is there £10m in add ons e.g. sell on clauses, to be paid in due course?
Does it really have to be this complicated?2 -

I think what irks Roland the most is the fact that he missed the debt of £7m owing to the directors when he purchased the club. He can't let it go unresolved without his error costing him. He would never be happy unless he finds a way to negate that hit, more to his pride than his wallet.
Otherwise, he could just pay them off and renegotiate a sale with clean title.8 - Sponsored links:

Because a man who lived in Holmsdale Road as a kid supported his local club instead of Man united. ?
Because he called Richard Murray a wanker when we all thought he walked on water at the time.
Because he refused to go in the Birmingham boardroom because he said the owners at the time made money from wank books and dildos ? ( Sullivan and Gold)
Because he is a Nigel ?
Why Simon Jordan has fought our corner since he has had dogs abuse from the majority of Cafc fans over the years is a mystery to me. ?
a) The Palace / Charlton rivalry had been relevant for the last decade.
b) There wasn't an opportunity to get one over on Richard Murray
c) The worst one. He and every Palace fan I know, didn't feel sorry for us.
Once RD has gone he'll go back to being a Nigel Twat in my eyes and I'll go back to being a #ClownTown wanker in his. We'll be out of this heinous parallel universe and back to the real world where all will be good and as it should be.4 -

nothing that Roland has done since his plague hit CAFC had suggested he has any sort of business brain---nothing.
Right at the start he put in Daisey who had never been in senior management let alone a CEO and in a profession she had no knowledge of.
He then gets rid of the SMT who might have been able to support Daisey --- assuming her massive ego would allow that of course
Move forward to slagging off your customer base,not having a full time CEO,CFO. The small matter of totaly not understanding the product or its governing body.
Yes we all know he made his money in a different World (not Earth) but how the feck did he operate / manage ?
Clearly he is beyond any type of logic.
His every action makes it less likely to get anywhere near his absurd asking price.
Tragically for CAFC his ego has very very deep pockets.

So SJ found out who one of the parties was, what the deal structure is and that he’d been invited to be a part of it from yesterday’s evening standard?
How come we all missed these bombshells when we read it?

Got to give it to the Aussies for the banter if they have tried to scramble a consortium together which potentially included Richard Murray and Simon Jordan.14

The more I read of the so-called takeover the more I believe that when the teams line up for kick off at Ewood Park on August 3, Roland will still own Charlton.

Since when has Jordan had a pot to piss in to invest in a football club, though he was financially ruined by the whole Palace thing?2

£5Om was stated in the Standard.(the bit I was referring to).
Did he say he'd been invited or just that he could get involved? I haven't listened.0 -
