    Gone is the hope of a party atmosphere if this takeover happens, it'll just be a mild feeling of relief and thank fcuk for that.

    Looks like the team is screwed until January at a minimum

    I think it will be more like the final scene of Captain Phillips, when he realises that the nightmare really is over.

    Taking the thread slightly off topic but anyone who doubts Tom hanks acting ability just needs to watch that scene. Incredible.

    Let’s hope the saga finally gets wrapped up this week..

    He got freed in 2009 I think mate
    Another Monday morning and the usual non-news. Another week of prolonged agony popping onto CL periodically in the vain hope that there will some good news from those ITK. Why do I bother?

    This is really becoming tiresome. I hope for good news this week but starting to fear we have Australians or Roland. Both playing poker-faces and neither blinking. All that’s happening is we, the fans, are turning on each other. Players won’t want to come to the club and we will be stuck in league 1 for another year. This is probably the “easiest” League 1 for a few years so this is an opportunity to get out and get moving upwards. We literally can’t afford to miss out

    With the exception of Sunderland I agree.
    I don’t follow the transfer window so no idea about teams merits but think Bristol Rovers, Pompey and Barnsley all have relatively new billionaire owners, as we know it does not mean success but how do their squads look? In addition Scunny, Bradford and Peterborough are all decent in this league usually and Luton and Burton should be good too.
  • 1: Poster who is regarded as in the know posts information that makes it sound like takeover is imminent.

    2: Takeover thread goes berserk as multiple new posts of excitement are made.

    3: Memes and shitposts like this start after a few days.

    4: Thread begins to die as no takeover happens.

    5: Rinse and repeat.

    Sadly we are currently in a stage 4 situation.

    The plaintiff cry of the lesser spotted charlton fan could be heard emanating from the ever faithful Robin Reliant. “Are we there yet”

    That would be plaintive - unless you are taking legal action against Duchatelet of course. :smile:
    Bloody spellchecker
    Sorry, I wasn't being spiteful - I just love typos which still have a kind of sense to them. My all-time favourite is "he was held in higher steam".
    a classic of this genre is 'I hurdled through the grape vine for 'I heard it on the grape vine'
    (Just listen to the track again and see what you think).

    which seems somehow weirdly appropriate here where a multitude of ITK comments may just as well have been conjured up by someone hurdling through a vineyard. Nothing is now too strange or surreal for this thread.

    Yes. And we will be for the rest of today and all of tomorrow too, sadly.

    No one's ITK. There are some who might hear something a few minutes before you perhaps.

    If I hear anything it goes here asap. (Well once I've cooked dinner maybe).
    I heard a lot happened at the end of last week, so you'd imagine they'd be taking stock of what's what today.

    Buy the damn club you Aussies.
    Can I ask if that is good news, bad news or don’t know news?

  • Bugger thought I covered that by don’t know news, but your probably right I should have added a forth option :-)

    It's no one has a fuckin clue news.
  • Sounds like optimistic ‘should happen soon but we’ve heard all that before so ain’t going to say it again’ news to me.
  • This is my take on things.
    I don't for one minute think that people who are supposedly in the know post on here just for the sake of it.
    I truly believe that they are told things in confidence that they wish to share with us.
    The trouble is that as far as I know nobody on here is in touch with Roland.

    And as Roland is the only person who really knows where we are at the rest is all second hand gossip.

    It's 'I haven't got a clue' news. And I'm waiting for my contact to call me, rather than me hassling him.

    What colour is your favourite fruit pastille?
  • And when RoT did, fairly recently, meet Duchatelet, he didn’t seem to have a clue either.
