Roland Selling Up?

It could be the fact that RD is a raving Loon ?

 

Charlton Athletic - the only football Club with a protest industry based around not protesting.

First it called off the car park protests, for no good reason that I could see.
Then it's an amnesty for months to see how Russell Slade gets on.
Then it virtually disappears for another six months while Karl Robinson tempts Charlton fans to break the second commandment.
Then it decides to trust Richard Murray.
Now they're telling us to get behind the lads.

When the launch of CARD was first announced, back on ITTV I recall quoting George Orwell;
All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.

Now two years later we come to the last page of the story.
The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

 

He has calculated that it is worth hanging on until May to see if he can sell us as a Championship club. If we were in the bottom 4 in League One a deal would have been agreed months ago.

 

I'll run with that. It would be a face-saving operation. He could still believe "Roland doesn't do failure", even though the reality is different.

 

The buyer needs us less than Duchatelet needs to sell. Hopefully it is going to hit him in the pocket.

 

He doesn’t have to sell. He’s very wealthy, and his wealth is increasing.

 

Fair point tbf.

Posts like that are why your fans want you to post more often.

 

He is losing 8m a year, Roland is mad, but is he that mad? Of course he wants to sell, but he is greedy.

 

Charlton are losing around £800,000 a month.

We might be worth another £10m in May as a Championship club.

 

Douche isn't getting any 18/19 Season Ticket income which must be hurting a bit?

 

We might, but I can't see it. I think we will finish in eighth.

 

I’m not debating that he wants to sell, he just doesn’t need to in the way Murray & Jimenez had to.

 

Maybe he wants to prove that a club can run without a CEO a financial officer or a permanent manager. He's running it by the power of thought.

 

If for instances he has 500 millions and interest on that would cover the "Charlton are losing around £800,000 a month." with plenty left over and he's not touched his capital.

 

Dushitalet is losing money with Charlton.

His other businesses are probably more than covering this loss. This is where the problem is with him having the patience to find the right offer.

 

If Duchatelet has a skint month he could always borrow some money from CARD.

 

This is what really pissed me off.

 

They'd probably have a whip-round especially for him if he asked them.
Anything to avoid rocking the boat during these delicate take-over talks.

Excuses not to protest

#767 ... We will have a new owner in 48 hours anyway so what's the point.
#768 ... (after 48 hours) Well, some time really soon anyway, maybe next week.
#769 ... don't upset the players while there's a chance Lee Bowyer might get us into the play-offs.
#770 ... (if we finish top 6) don't scupper our chances of winning the play-offs.
#771 ... (if we don't finish top 6) don't upset Roly and he might let Bowyer keep the job.
#772 ... (if we get promoted) don't put the team off early next season as it tries to survive in the Championship.
#773 ... (if we don't get promoted) see #771
#774 ... (If Roly is still the owner in August) Let's see if [insert latest manager's name] gets off to a good start this season.

Real reasons

#1 ... We don't want to make waves because we're all angling for jobs at the Club after the take-over.
#2 ... We've done nothing for so long that most fans have lost interest in us.


I hope our travelling fans have some choice songs for Richard and Roland at the Northampton game.
Since the Coalition has thrown in the towel, the voices of individual fans is all we have left.

 

That is the announcement of Robinson leaving.
