    Who would have thought there was more chance of England winning the World Cup before Charlton's takeover happens?

    This morning.... "The Cup is coming home!!!"

    This afternoon.... "England is coming home."

    Tonight.... "The buyers are going home."

    More fake news from the land of the three ? I thought England couldn’t come home just yet on account of they’ve got to play another game

    Had quite a vivid dream that it was all being signed off and completed, so presumably it will happen today.
    It was happening at a garage though, so I might not have got every detail right.

    Hmmm do you mean a room to store your car and lawnmower in or a petrol station?

    so if you believe the fans forum minutes the issue is with EFL waiting on documents from the Ozzies.

    I think there'll be an outcome to this saga pretty soon. Sounds as if there's a cash flow issue if the bank are withholding credit card monies for season tickets and they're negotiating with suppliers ... #TeamWIOTOS

    Yes, that was a bit concerning

    The credit card thing is extraordinary. The banks have been demanding a much higher transaction fee for season tickets from Charlton or the value to be underwritten by guarantees since about 2010. That was why a fee was introduced to discourage people from using credit cards, but it never covered the cost. The bank holding back the funds for match by match release is a sign that they have no confidence in the administration of the club.

    That has been what the Aussies have been saying for the last week.

    So this Australia consortium are incapable of getting the paper work together to satisfy the EFL, that gives me great confidence. A bank expresses confidence in what is going on by holding back on season ticket money paid by credit card, what does that say about the Aussies.

    I don’t think it says anything about the Aussies, since they don’t own the club. What it says is that there is uncertainty about future ownership per se and that Duchatelet has been unwilling to offer guarantees.

    Nothing I would have said as the bank is holding back the money from the current owner, not them.

    Also I don't take anything the regime says at face value.

    Would be interesting to hear from those with contacts to the old directors to hear if it is their understanding that the bonds are no longer an issue and if so why? @Davidsmith @nth london addick

    So Aussie paperwork not even with the EFL yet and then we have the wait to come as well. There is zero chance of promotion.

    Not what was said.

    According to Airman Brown Chris Parkes is expecting it back this week which is no doubt what Colin/Bexley boy meant by significant news yesterday or today as Colin's source is one of the staff at the training ground who would have got in, directly or indirectly from Chris.

    I understand your point @msomerton but it could be that RD has declared he is putting no more money into the club, so the Bank is holding onto ST money, until the sale goes through to offset any further overdraft the club may require, and will release it to the new owners on completion.

    Probably mate and very frustrating but let's get rid of the old scrote first and hope that we can manage mid table by the January transfer window and go unbeaten to the end of the season.

    Sometimes you have to keep taking backward steps before you go forward this is just another. Keep the faith :wink: .

    I think you should re-read the statement, and then look at airmans comments.

    at no point in this statement does it appear that any blame for the delay, or even the cuts in breakfast spending, are the fault of Mr Trueck or the regime.

    It's the bank holding back the money, it's the Aussies, it's the EFL, never the regime's fault.

    Not even their fault that money was being wasted on energy, evidently. Must have been Chris Powell.
