So now sell it, as Ive been telling Roland Duchatelet.”He continued: “I was told on Friday that talks were moving, and moving fast and it could happen this week – that could still be the case.Last night, it is my understanding, a consortium spoke with some interested parties at this end here in England and a one-and-a-half hour conference call took place involving the USA and Australia.2

Addicks fans have voiced their displeasure at the way owner Duchatelet is running the club

The talks were hugely positive. During the course of the week this should continue to move forward.But as I say, and I emphasise this at this stage, the talks were described to me this morning as hugely positive, involving a representative in the USA, a representative in Australia and it is all about unlocking the money so the bid can be made to Duchatelet.I can confirm this morning that Duchatelet is aware of the talks and he remains a willing seller.
