My own view....not sure about this come from my cousin last night, but part of it may be true because i heard Murray did not want to sell to Varney
Here we go..
He was told on Friday that an anoouncement will be this week concerning the future of Charlton the press have been informed...
He has been told that a takeover is in place but not Peter Varney after Richard Murray and Derek Chappell wanted more money from him to buy the club, but from our Arab friends who are back on the in the picture
As i say i don't know what to make of this, i heard two weeks ago that the Varney deal was being held up by Chappell and Murray not agreeing who got what......
Interesting.......but if its true that Murray and Chappell are holding up any takeover for the club then they want to get themselves sorted out and stop this in fighting put the club and it's supporters first

I also have heard that the intrest may be coming from the middle east but and i stress but
I have taken the information very lightly as i do not want to be disapointed
hence my feeble attempts at toilet humour earlier on this week.
I refuse to take it for more than just hopefull thoughts
From how i have understood it from those that seem to know more than me and have been very very accurate on all things Charlton , The Deal is the same one just PV's involvement has been misinturpreted and it was not a PV takeover and never has been.
This week for me is the important one and that if i dont hear somrthing substantial and concrete this week i will take it as very little is going to happen, these things take time and we have been bitten once before so twice shy is the saying
I for one will be ignoring these rumours from now on. I just completely fed up of it.
The big players thought the Zeebel deal was good for the club, but they wouldnt have agred to it if they had lost a large part of their investment.
PV (IMO) would or may be a "go-between". Maybe he left because he could see what was going on--didnt want to rock the sinking ship further, but he is a fan and like ALL of us cant believe for truely shit this club has become in such a short time.
I get that, but supposing it leaves the club stuck with the same group of people who have no money to invest further? If a director put his interests above the future of the Club, I wouldn't feel very kindly towards the director.
It sounds plausible and chimes with what AFKA hinted almost a month ago, when he wrote in a blog calling for a 'new era' :
''Takeover speculation is again rife, some accurate, some a fantasy. But if the lack of advancement is due to delays on our current board's part, then whoever is digging their heels in needs to take a very long look at themselves and decide do they really want what is best for Charlton, or just for themselves ?''
If true, RIchard Murray finds himself on the horns of a horrible dilemma.
He knows that a takeover - particularly one giving a prominent role to someone who is Charlton through-and-through like Peter Varney - is in the best interests of the club.
Yet he also has a duty to his family and his dependents to preserve as best he can the value of his investment in the club.
If the two are in conflict and he has to chose between the best interests of CAFC and protecting his own financial stake, then I feel very sorry for him. Given everything he has put in to Charlton and what the club means to him, I don't envy him having to make that decision at all. Very, very sad if it has come to this.
Respect ;0)
If anyone is.
So do I and i find it very insulting that to rm that this is being insinuated
As Goonerhater says : "Why wouldnt people who have put huge amounts of their own wedge into the club look at any proposal in their interests re geting a good part of their money back ? you would be mad not to.''
I think any shareholder would also owe it to their family and dependents to protect their investment as best they could. If a proposed takeover involved writing down the stake of existing investors by , say, 40-50 per cent, said investors would be more than entitled to reject it and seek a better deal, surely ?
As I have said before I dont think its a simple consistent right down of share values because of the relatively recent loans/bonds so that adds to the complexity of the sale price and who may get what eg it will vary from Director to Director.
Cant surely be anywhere near £30m or more. And I reckon the write down is much more than 50% more like 75% (dependant on above).
I think with RM its as much a requirement for a new energy needed to take the club forward as it personal return in money terms.
Blimey we`ve gone full circle again. Back to the Irish suggestion. Sounds like a lot of punts to me ;0)
I think the fact that the club have still not published a retained list speaks volumes...
We shall see!
At first i thought this LINK kind of pi55ed on your bonfire.But the last sentence is interesting.
Fucking Zabeel please don't do this to us again... you actually have to take us over now ;o)
Something is meant to be happening very soon
Possibly an Irish or Arab consortium (Zabeel again?)
Varney is not the head of a consortium, simply an advisor
Anything else?
