Duchatelet has just had a car crash interview on Talk Sh1te. Despite being bowled a series of soft balls by patsy Jim White, he repeatedly refused to answer Simon Jordan when asked how much he wanted for Charlton. This is his exact quote ... “There are NO negotiations” White allowed him to repeat and repeat the lie that the fans protests were preventing the sale of the club. (Apparently his wife discovered the graffiti this morning)
Interesting then that Jim White told us last month that the sale of the Club was to be "completed by the end of the week, latest next Monday" … how was that Jim if there are NO Negotiations taking place?
RD completely blowing De Turks script for whenever the fans forum meeting is. guessing now it will be "there were ongoing negotiations, there were 5 parties involved, there was paperwork needed... " cant old age just take roland now.
Roland Duchatelet is either totally deluded, or a shameless liar. There are no protests anymore. And even if there were, fan protests which have often been much more zealous and troublesome than ours have never prevented the sale of dozens if not hundreds of other Clubs in this country over the last few decades. CAFC is not really for sale. It is a cynical policy by the owner and his cronies to keep the fan base divided and quiet while they cut costs to the bone and shrink the Club to non-league size. for want of a better reason, I would have to conclude the end game will be to sell the Valley. Nobody believes the rubbish that Duchatelet spouts about protesting fans. Even the handful of fans who still like him don't really believe it.
Even allowing for his senility, Duchatelet could not have been clearer. “There are NO negotiations” - said in response to Simon Jordan, not Patsy White.
So now we know. All the crap told to fans at those forum meetings was just lie after lie after lie. de Turck ought to get a proper grilling at the next meeting - which is supposed to be tomorrow. I expect it will be called off again.
A decent sports journalist would have cut Duchatelet off dead when he started his ‘fans to blame’ krap. Note that Jim White never asks Duchatelet for proof.
The takeover cr@p that White spouted was just to sell more Sunderland tickets … I wonder how warm the welcome to White would have been if other supporters had know how Patsy White had used their love of the Club to increase the Belgian's coffers?
No coincidence that Duchatelet will only give live UK interviews to Patsy White. He got into a horrible tangle as soon as Simon Jordan butted in.
White and Murphy make a right pair of numpties! Their main thing in common is their dislike of Charlton fans.
I seriously wonder whether Duchatelet has dementia. There can be no doubt after that interview (not that there was before) that he is now fvcking the club & fans out of malice.
I'm coming back round to that way of thinking. And he can afford to do it for as long as he likes too. Mind you he hasn't sold any of his clubs since he announced he wanted out of football. Surely he doesn't hate them all?
Team Aussie were quick enough to brag about the beer meetings. Perhaps they could now explain “no negotiations”.
