Well he wasn’t that far from the Prem when he bought us and has ****ed up big time ever since. Extraordinary for someone so rich, how could you fail unless intentionally or being as big a ****er as has ever walked the planet.
Even a dreamer like Duchatelet cannot possibly believe that a promotion to the Championship via the play-offs would mean there is any chance at all that Charlton might emulate Sheffield United and surge up the table again next season. Without far more investment than RD has ever been willing to put into the senior squad, Charlton will crash and burn back into League One without a doubt. We will be bottom 3 from September to May. I believe promotion to the Championship will add maybe £10m to Charlton's value before we kick a ball next season, and this will allow RD to get a price he can live with during the summer. Finally we will be rid of him. What happens from August onwards is then in the lap of the Gods, and our new owner.
We would be an absolute car crash in the Championship if Duchatelet stayed as owner. Meire would return to a heroine’s welcome ...from Ivor & Jeddez. Leon Best would be rewarded with a new 4 year contract.
We were bottom of the league. I’d suggest we were much closer to where we are now than the premiership.
David White is the most informed source on this (as you would expect, given his financial interest) He says RD want between £45m and £55m
I give him more credence than all the others, but am still not convinced that Roland has stated this to anyone, bearing in mind how close to his chest he plays his cards. If it is actually true he simply won't sell.
I wonder when judas is going to open his beak again with more rubbish. Perhaps people will not be so believing next time. Some were even starting to forgive him for being a turncoat ffs.
Murray must be going through hell at the moment. All of this speculation and uncertainty about such a crucial issue. Whether the next owner will allow this bad smell to extend his time at Charlton. #murrayout
Two separate parties agreed a deal. "I've been informed it should be within the next few weeks". Htf can two parties agree a deal and also in a few weeks time. Total bullshit.......again.
