He has paid for some improvements at Sparrows Lane and at The Valley tbf, but against that we had a much stronger playing staff then, although with Driesen's help he soon changed that.
RD is being totally unreasonable and inflexible. He is not behaving like he really wants to sell the Club at all. Stories like this are going to keep coming all summer, and probably well into next season. After a brief flicker of hope, most fans are going to tune out again. It's all rubbish, because even when a take-over seems to get close, Duchatelet will not budge one inch to make it happen. Indeed he seems to deliberately make things more difficult. These next two weeks are going to be crap, just waiting for Bowyer's contract to run out and Mr & Mrs Perks to come back from their holidays. Pre-season begins in the first week of July. At this rate we'll be lucky to have even a couple of free transfers onboard by then. F*cking joke.
Like the no-deal vote in Parliament yesterday, perhaps it is a negotiating position by Dalman? … Unless you agree to my terms I am pulling out and going back to Wales.... ah... there's the rub
Did Bowyer say in the SLP that if he's not offered an acceptable contract by this Friday, then he's off?
A bold prediction. What will go through Roland's mind in 2 weeks that isn't going through it now? If the deal is on the cards Bowyer should know, in order to make his decision. I'll continue to expect another season at least of the present owner.
To be honest Elfs I've given up trying to remember who has said what. If Bowyer did say that then we should know in 24 hours. But if RD keeps stringing him along, will LB stick to his word and walk away, or just extend his deadline until Charlton fans begin losing the will to live.
Ivor is getting gold stars on Charlton Life with his call last night regarding the (non)sale. Mr ban Gerwen is still loathed
Doucher over on tge CL transfer thread thinks this is happening. I hope he calls it right after some of the stick he recieved.
