    How about a new nonsense theory?

    “It’ll go through once Roland receives the sell on fee for Lookman”

    Fatally flawed assumption that the malignant old liar included any add ons to the Lookman disposal contract. What gives you any hint the tombstone toothed twunt has ever had the first fucking clue how to get anything right about Charlton even when he stands to benefit personally?
    Reported in south London Press that there is a sell on clause
  • Why on earth couldn’t Roland just build into the sale that he gets the sell on fee for Lookman whatever it is and whenever it is. Why would it necessarily need to hold up any sale of the club ?

    Because he won't pay off directors until he has this unexpected money in the bank. There's always a risk Lookman's transfer could fall through until it is officially done.

    So a new approach to our owner?

    Heard similar, i.e. middle eastern money

    Which could have been bought out at any time by a little cash up front - happens all the time

    Here we go!

    I wonder if any Arab kids have recently enrolled at @JamesSeed ‘s school?!

    Would that be third party ownership? Although he did it with Batshuayi.

    Has your EFL contact let you know about new info?
    No - tight as a drum this time.

    Seems quite a few people are interested in the Aussie paperwork, it would appear that both personal and electronic approaches have/are being made from several quarters and the EFL are getting twitchy, particularly after the Sunderland info was released before the official statement.

    I'm confused is this just in regards to the CAFC takeover or other takeovers in general
    Also the several quarters, is this just from the Aussie consortium?

    So it's still ongoing then?

    Any chance @JamesSeed can pester GM, this is getting silly now.

    I did get a message late last night which implied the next few days may well be critical for the Aussies’ bid.
    Hopefully an end to it very soon either way.

    It was a state school, so i suspect not.

    Doesn’t sound promising, does it.

    Can’t see it being third party ownership as Lookman is an Everton player and monies due are contractual between two clubs.

  • Few : Not many but more than one. Could be as low as two but no upper limit as this might depend on the number of what the few was of.

    Loop
  • Just sitting in the departure lounge at Leeds Bradford airport waiting to fly out for a week of Greek sun and just wandering if the sale will be done before I return. Think there's more chance of spotting Zeus supping a Mythos in a taverna if I'm honest.

    If you do mate, introduce him to 'Fix'. Much better in my opinion.

    In the middle of reading Stephen Fry's Mythos, and think he would more likely be supping Ambrosia.

    If you do see Zeus can you ask if it's true that Roland is one of Erebus' henchman, half rat half and snake with yellow fangs sent by Typhon, a Crystal palace supporter, disguised in human form, to destroy Charlton Athletic in revenge for sending his club down in 2005.

    I love a FIX beer! Used to be everywhere - harder to find these days. Last time I was there it was Amstel everywhere!

    I have no inside info but my guess is that the Aussies are holding up the deal and who can blame them. RD must want rid, he’s losing money month by month and will struggle to get another offer anywhere near this one. The Aussies hold all the aces IMO
    As for the delay causing the Aussies grief, I believe @JamesSeed previously mentioned that GM told him that they weren’t bothered as they are in for the long haul

    If they hold all the aces then they are playing a very bad hand imo. Season starts in 5 days time & transfer window shuts in 10 days time. Roland is selling players for peanuts & as it stands our front line on Saturday will be a player loaned out last season & the other a youngster who hasn't scored a league goal in his career. If they are playing "the long game" then someone had better tell them that it has taken us 3 years (and counting) to get out of this league.......it will take a damn sight longer than 5 to even get into the Championship from league 2.

    As I said last week, I don't who is worse.......Roland or the Aussies.
    Well, let me help. One has fucked up the club for four years and the others bought a scarf in the shop.
    @Airman Brown You’ve been pretty quiet over the last few weeks. I’m pretty sure you’ve heard things that are going on in the background. Any chance you can chuck us a bone to chew on until the next instalment if this saga?
    Nothing to add on the Aussies but there is new interest from elsewhere.
    Red Henrys mega rich Saudis ?????????
