The complication thing / EFL potentially questioning I think is red herring.
Its set out clear in black and white:
"The only issue holding up the process is EFL approval"
"Around one month ago, the first document was lodged with the EFL but not all required documents have yet been submitted to the EFL. There are one or two still outstanding. There has been no need for anything to be resubmitted"
I wish it *was* black and white.
On 18th May GM said "we've done our bit. Everything is with the EFL. It's out of our hands now". That doesn't sound like the words of someone who has only submitted the first document of many. He was (categorically) expecting the matter to be concluded by 25th May. It's what's happened/changed since then that still seems uncertain, isn't it?
I'm sure he thought at the time that the Aussies had submitted all the correct documents, but subsequent events suggest that this wasn't the case.
Can't wait til this is all over, takeover completed and Charlton go crazy on transfer deadline day in a bid to sign 10 new players.
Geoff Shreeves is mobbed by a delirious crowd live on Sky sports outside the club shop and Seb does the worm for the entire length of the car park.
I can see the headlines now....
" Mysterious disappearance overshadows celebrations at a Happy Valley.
Club legend, Seb " The Worm" Lewis, vanished without trace when he joined thousands of delirious fellow supporters outside the stadium to welcome Charlton's new owners.
He was last seen worming his way across the car park but when questioned later, no-one present could throw any light on his whereabouts.
A member of the club's clean up staff, Anthony "TRIGGER" Keohane, admitted that he had always been concerned about the potholes in said area and that they were " an accident waiting to happen" but that no-one at the football club had ever taken him seriously....."

That's a possibility, or the rumour that a member of the consortium had outside interests is also a possibility, and further proof of sale of those interests may also require additional documentation, as would proof that an investor (or a new investor) had funding in place for his investment. I'll be wary of believing any one option 100% until both side have acknowledged it as the truth, maybe.
AFKA's statement above is my interpretation too. I have been saying for months that I do not think the EFL have all the documents they need and we were nowhere near EFL approval.
It is looking to be correct.
The way the club have worded looks like they want to give the impression that we're not far away at all.
I thought you said you don't think they have the money? Maybe that was someone else, it's been said so many times.

You are correct Sco, I do not think they have the money hence why they are scrabbling around looking for investors. However I have also said on many occasions that I did not believe all the paperwork had been lodged with the EFL.
I’ve heard the issue holding everything up is that Rolando is adding all Lieven the Dirks flights, accommodation and bar bills onto the purchase price....
Everyone seems to be assuming that the EFL is a highly professional organisatkon that recruits the best quality specialists i their field, rather than a self-perpetuating bunch of sycophants responsible for continual decisions showing a poor lack of judgement. The idea that Muir's filings for FaPP lacked required detail seems unlikely. More likely they are dicking us around. Let's not forget, this is essentially the same organisation that rescinded Shearer's red card within 24 hours, excuse 'not proven' without viewing CAFC video of the incident.

Sufficiently different organisation in my book and over 16 years ago but I get where you're coming from;
Newcastle's captain Alan Shearer had the red card he was shown at Charlton overturned yesterday after the referee Andy D'Urso and his assistant Graham Beale studied video evidence of Saturday's incident. Shearer was sent off on Beale's recommendation for allegedly elbowing Charlton's Jon Fortune and faced a three-game ban. To the relief of the former England captain and his club, D'Urso decided the dismissal was wrong. Shearer had protested his innocence, strongly supported by his manager Bobby Robson. Newcastle were told by the Football Association and Premier League that the card had been rescinded hours after they confirmed they would appeal against the second dismissal of Shearer's career.
Would be interesting if anyone here knows someone in the Aussie camp and could ask if the statements are consistent with their knowledge of things. Not l necessarily after details just a yes or no response (but with the obvious follow up questions if the answer is no!)
If only we had someone on this forum who knows one of the Aussies...
I've asked the question, and if I get an answer I'll post it on here first.
Reply came, and the relevant bit is rather bland I’m afraid, although I guess it might be seen as positive?
“spoke to Lieven today and he was very happy. Talk soon.”

Sorry folks, better than nothing....
His three day working week ended this afternoon :-)
So a respected banking institution don’t have confidence enough in our finances to release money for financial services rendered to the club and have a genuine concern that CAFC might not be able to fulfill its league obligation.

Well he doesn't get paid much to be fair.
Little bit of extra news (personal), which I can't share makes me now certain this is happening. I think we all knew that though didn't we?
BANK WARNS THAT CAFC MIGHT BE ON THE BRINK OF ADMINISTRATION.
I wonder if that is a headline for the official site.
I suspect not as it is sensationalist shit.
That is now headlines work since it? A headline that reads 'Banks only release money from people who bought their season tickets on a game by game basis because they are unconvinced about the stability of the club's would be a bit cumbersome.
It was a good week predicated from James Seed and 450 posts since I last looked at this thread. Was it a good week, other than the England football team ? Is there any news on getting thread of Duchatelet and has anything happened apart from people getting angry and frustrated at the time the whole bloody thing is taking ?
No. People are still insisting that the Ozzies are going to pay £1-2m interest to pay up debentures for free title rather than wait until we are in the Prem. Others insist RD can't sell until they are settled. Some speculate that these multi-millionaires and their expensive legal teams have only just found out about directors loans despite them being in the public domain without DD. The more deluded insist Muir hasn't the funds.
On a further update, morons are speculating that DD issues mean that we are on the verge of bancrupcy despite RD being worth half a billion and financial experts explaining that banks don't advance money on services yet to be provided.

Dear EFL
Please do something of use for once, tell Roland to JUST SELL THE CLUB AND FUCK OFF. (Thanks @blackpool72 for the inspiration).
Love
Steven
The World Cup was a great distraction admittedly.
The bank is holding back because its in the public domain that a new owner is about to materialize and there is at present no actual CEO/CFO ---end of
much more importantly is we MUST have a new deadline
It just all needs to end, the upcoming season already looks like a slow motion car crash.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Enjoy.
