I of course don’t know the full background to the clubs current valuation and there’s probably only two or three people who know how the price is arrived at any given time.......Duchatalet, like everyone else, will have just a gut feeling I assume. Would have thought a bid of £45,000,000 should clinch it given our current position, what do any of you guys think?
There is never a moment when anybody knows what the price is. The preposterous europrat makes it up each time anybody asks the question, even if he deigns to respond to the enquiry. Then when he is asked for any more information, e.g. after a bidder's DD, the price changes, add in the recalcitrant directors' contingent liabilities and the rancid ringmaster spits his dummy and flounces out, denouncing all and sundry. Sunderland's current ownership always reminds me of how the spivs were at Charlton. roly was too arrogant to find out exactly what he was buying into, before he signed and paid up. The yanks aren't making the same mistake with the black cats. Would Charlton be a comparable or better investment than Sunderland? Too flippin right it would. Can the current "owner" make a sound case for what it is he wishes to sell? Nigh on 3 years of drivel suggest strongly that he can't. The president's "price" and a would be bidder's offer have roughly the same chance of coinciding as I have of fathering Kylie Minogue's children.
Remind me how many football clubs are currently making a profit ? Possible in the ludicrous world of Premier a League but Championship clubs made a combined loss of more than £510 million last year.
Isn't this the point RD made a couple of weeks' ago?

Is that gross or net of Directors £7m loans mate?
To be honest I hadn’t thought of that.....I am one of those who thinks (for clarities sake), that the Directors loans, although made evident from the outset, shouldn’t be included in the asking price....so the price I have suggested would not include those ‘ potential’ future debts. I mean to say........how can you charge someone for something that may or may not happen.....it’s a gamble and always has been for all concerned.

Appreciated @SounfAsa£ but it all depends on the buyer(s) preference for clean title on the property which could affect the ability to borrow against those assets, lease them out or sell the business in future without a contingent liability hanging over it.
If I was the buyer I'd want clean title and for £45m I'd want the Directors Loans cleared, so £38m net.

Indeed. So why does he think a loss making enterprise like Charlton is worth so much money?

If I was the buyer I would want clear title. If I was the buyer we would have a 3000 page thread for "43v3r out" by Christmas

With Happy Valley's extraordinary track record of accurately predicting the score of Charlton's forthcoming matches, I am sure that will not faze him in the slightest. He obviously has crystal balls.
If his powers of prediction are that good, perhaps he should get a Euromillions ticket for Tuesday's draw. With £169million jackpot, he could buy the club himself and we could finally kill the thread.
Happy Valley has too much integrity to accept a penny from anyone that he has not earned by the sweat of his brow.
Well the £170m odd Euromillions jackpot was won by a single British ticketholder. Chances of them being a Charlton fan willing to blow a significant proportion of their winnings on buying the club and covering the annual losses (and just out of interest, what is the operating loss these days?) ?
To be honest, I reckon we've got more chance of automatic promotion this season...

Fraid it wasnt me... To be honest I'd have blown about £70m buying out Roland, would then have contacted Peter Varney asking if he wanted to get a decent group together to buy the club from me for a knock down price
Would have made a heavy loss but would still have £100m plus Roland would be out of Charlton!!

I won the Euromillions last night. £5.80. RD would have to drop his asking price a fair bit.

Also someone keeps putting pennies in to the Protest Fund by mistake. I dont recognise the name. I've spoken to the Bank and they said there's nothing that can be done until the person who is missing the money contacts them. I think its up to 8.06p now.

whenever anyone asks me what the first thing i'd do if i wont the euromillions this is always my answer. One day...one day...

I wouldn't do it like that. I would do it like Kevin Cash. I'd contact @Airman Brown and tell him that I'm staying anonymous, he will be the Jiminez -type "owner" who buys out Roland, and I will bankroll it. Think of the win-wins in that scenario...:-)

Damn, you'd have outbid me! £2.90 :-) @PragueAddick I'll have to bear that scenario in mind for my £2.50 worth of dreams of obscene wealth next time the Euromillions jackpot reaches silly levels.
Seems to me that a certain person who is involved in that article has been planning this thread for a long time. I can see why they called it the GOAT when in theory, this thread is about 11 years old in their mind

Sunderland interest came out of blue. Fitted their budget and long term aims. Don’t think there is a similar match.
