    Roland is a cnut and I cannot believe that anyone would negotiate with him for more than a couple of weeks before telling him to poke it.
    To suggest the Aussies have been in talks for over two years and are still in talks beggars belief. 
    The Aussies have not been in "talks" with him for two years. Probably a few emails bouncing around testing the waters following their meeting but nothing like what you would expect. .

    Roland is probably as sick of hearing about Aussies as we are.

    2018, The murder rate in London surpasses that of New York, The death of physicist Stephen  Hawking & we finally get a decent manager.

    Well without his Aussie safety net RD might actually give more serious attention to any future bids

    I never realised that it was Stephen Hawking preventing us getting a decent manager!

    Fake news.  Now we know what will happen for page 2020 onwards.

    @JamesSeed have you had it confirmed from GM they've dropped out? Feel like you said it was from a non-Aussie source. Guess I've foolishly still got a glimmer of hope until it's from the horses mouth

    @JamesSeed just a quick point of clarification. Are you saying that, and I recognise it’s to the best of your knowledge, the Australians are now out completely or just the potential US investment?

    The Aussies are out, and I’ve just heard the yanks are too. Apparently Roland is impossible to deal with, although @eaststandmike thinks he isn’t, which is interesting?
    Sorry @Addicktion can’t comment on sources at the moment. I will tell you in person, but it’ll cost you a pint.

    It's taken them over three years to work that one out? I could have told them from Day One.

    Do they not listen to their advisors?

    Roland saw them as a patsy as part of a fishing exhibition to draw out who he really wanted to sell to, hence the drip, drip, drip through various sources. Get the feeling that both you and @Airman Brown fall into that category.

    Sorry.

    I blame Lee Bowyer. If it wasn't for his pesky meddling then we'd still be a mid table League One club with no hope of getting near the Premiership so RD would have taken any sensible offer.

    Now that we have not only gone & got promoted but are sitting a knats chuff away from automatic promotion to what Cloughie once said was "the land of milk & honey" RD smells the whiff of pounds notes & thinks he can get his money back and some.

    On the previous Friday, Jim White said we were being sold the Tuesday before Shrewsbury away last year.

    @Airman Brown, I guess as he knows you, perhaps you might want to inform JW of the latest info, he has been a mouthpiece for RD in the past, you never know he might try and get an 'exclusive' interview with him, although I guess RD will just spout more nonsense!!

    What's the point? Everything is fine and dandy in Charltonland now. The media aren't interested anymore.

    @Off_it yes I agree everything in Charltonland is better now, however I thinking more of January 2020. Currently RD continues to say he wants to sell and is no longer interested in owning us, yet he wont negotiate, it seems, despite his utterances directly or through LDT.
    My concern is he could very quickly undo the current Charltonland feeling, by selling players to be able to pay running costs and still not offering LB a decent lengthy contract, as his excuse has been, up to now, he has buyers for the club and didn't want to tie their hands by offering a longer contract.
    I'm all for keeping the current Charltonland vibe, but RD can quickly ruin it by the actions I've mentioned above. If however RD has changed his MO, and decides he wants to now fully invest in the club and LB in attempting over the next season or so to get us to the PL then good for him, but i fear without new owners we will be starting afresh every season.  However I do take your point fully, but it would be good to hear what his intentions now are.

    Spot on. I have been happy with the status quo over the last 6 months (well, not happy as such, but more resigned to RD's terms on player sales & budgets).....but when January comes & he decides that to keep costs to a minimum he starts to off load players then protests need to be restated. I think a lot of fans have had the 'wait & see' mentality, thinking that as RD has been looking to sell then no need to rock the boat. If it now transpires that RD is not selling & just trying to minimise costs then gloves are off.

    Its been a couple of days since we were told the Aussies out.  We must be due a new rumour that they are back in?

    Think the EFL are still waiting for them to submit that paperwork.

    I thought now Steve Gallen is director he may be more of a voice on such matters.
