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.
Not wanting to sound harsh as you kindly helped me with pub for Saturday's game, but I don't think that post is helpful. If GM had told you something then either share it all or keep it to yourself......cryptic messages are what is killing us & keeping us going round in circles.
Isn't that what he's just done? I didn't see anything cryptic.
Next few days are critical. It's not like he's posted some witch riddle over a cauldron.
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.
I love a FIX beer! Used to be everywhere - harder to find these days. Last time I was there it was Amstel everywhere!
I can confirm that 'Under the Pine Tree' in Koukounaries, Skiathos, does Fix mate.

Bit of a dilemma, because he’s not happy to have every word shared, which is why the messages were drying up. So what I posted wasn’t cryptic, it was the gist of it. Happy to not post if it’s doin’ yer ‘ead in, as we used to say back in the day.

Reckon, any snippet of actual information is appreciated James !

Of course he wants you to tell everyone what was said,every word,thats part of the plan so come on,what was said and all previous if you please.

Mostly Mythos and Alpha with an occasional Fix, where I'm heading for the next two weeks and if I consume enough, all of this might begin to make some sense!!!
This group has probably been around for some time, but might have been freshened up with a new backer. I agree that that could well be why the Aussies haven't completed- because Duchatelet is hoping for a higher bid. Absolute disgrace if true, and whoever is behind it should hang their head in shame.
I was working near The Valley today so popped in for nose around. The most eventful thing I saw was a white cat having a crap in the car park, which probably sums things up.
There were no posh motors in the car park, so no one of note is in and we don't have a SMT anyway.
An unsubstantiated rumour from a member of staff; A fan came in and told them that everything is sorted but just waiting for Roland to sign off to complete the takeover.
I thought nothing of that until reading on here that there are new interested parties. So is Roland not signing off in case the new bids are better!

A few people have said that but it’s genuinely not true.

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.
So it's still ongoing then?
Not as far as he's aware. He confirmed two weeks ago that the two issues had been resolved and as far as the information he had, there were no issues regarding CAFC and the fit and proper persons test.
He is getting this information second hand from the compliance team.

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?
The suggestion was they are getting a lot of pressure from Charlton fans - though this could mean CAFC and the Aussies as well.
It also sounds as though someone has tried to hack their systems.
IF it is Murray holding up the takeover then what on earth is wrong with that man?
I would NOT AT ALL be surprised is his holdup is he is demanding a formal role with the club under new ownership and he is pouting and holding it up as a strategy to get that.
He is 68. Has had cancer. Is Chairman of a prestigious company. I would guess he wants a non-exec role that keeps his seat at the table and access to the perks that go with that - cannot see him leading the club or a rival consortium - but who knows...
Agree. I don't think he's got the appetite for that level of involvement any more.

I meant the takeover is still on, so it sounds like any issues causing a delay aren’t related to the EFL side of it then?

We’re being bought by the Russians, then !!!
These Aussies seem to imply a lot but at the end of the day, fail to deliver. This is obviously only going one way.
And they've been used.
