A good old fashioned scoop told me that there is also a second party waiting in the background and that only a price had been agreed with the man from Belgium.
I understand Slater / Jimensz trying to get a good deal but I wish they would stop fecking around and get on and sell the damn club, so the club and supporters (and them) can move on.
All this ducking and diving. It is ridiculous, who the hell is this other party ? If they are truly interested they should get on with and do the deal and Slater / Jimensz should not feck about interested parties. Maybe this is why Josh Harris walked away from the idioicy. Slater / Jimensz get on with it and do the deal for feck sake.
Had two family members in the Directors box today. No revelations but Chris Parkes was apparently very optimistic for the future. That is good news afaiac,
Powell deserves to be able to compete at this level. With no investment his hands are badly tied, especially as the gates are not great. I must be right in thinking Wilson is the last player we paid a fee for, and that we haven't bought anyone else (for a fee) since 2011.

No button we paid a fee, well it was delayed for 12 months upon which we had to sell to pay that fee!!!!

Can I ask who advised you that Harris had walked away???
i think the longer it goes on the less likely it is to go through, for takeovers to happen successfully the noises that come out are normally concluded very quickly after
Hopefully it'll be announced before our next home League game as thats the 11th against Barnsley... Nearly half the transfer window will be closed by then
Hello. I haven't read every post in this thread but it seems like most of you are optimistic about Duchatelet taking over. I'm sorry to burst your bubble but Duchatelet won't lift your club to an higher level. If you're lucky he'll invest some cash at the beginning of his reign.
I'm afraid you'll become the 6th club in his network. He owns Carl Zeis Jena in Germany and Standard de Liege in Belgium. His son his the chairman of Hungarian club Ujpest. He saved Belgian second tier club Tubize from financial trouble and is now major shareholder. And at my own club at last Sintruidense VV or STVV his girlfriend is owner of the stadium and all grounds surrounding it. Officially he sold our club when he bought Standard because both teams were in the first division at that point and you obviously cannot own 2 clubs that compete in the same division. But he actually still runs things at the club. Our current chairman is a dear friend of his and just a puppet on a string. When he "sold" the club he gave the stadium and its grounds to his girlfriend so we now pay 400.000 Euro rent a year to plag in our own Stadium.
He recently called these 6 clubs his network and there have been player swappings between Ujpest, STVV, Standard and Tubize. We mostly got young,talented players who had to be in the starting eleven even though they weren't yet up for the task. He destroyed our club from within and we are nothjng bht his toy at the moment.
I fear the same thing might happen with Charlton. He'll use you to steal your talent, drop young players in the first squad to increase their market value. He"ll use your stadium ground to build hotels, shops and industry ( Very positive for the local economy I have to admit). And he"ll sell your players as soon as there's a profit in store for him
The man knows nothing about football but he is a cunning bastard.
All the best of luck and I hope for you guys I'm wrong.

Most companies, especially those registered outside of the UK, conclude their financial year on December 31st.
It may just be a matter of timing (he says optimistically).
