Aussie silence is deafening. If They thought this was going to go through surely they would let a bit of positive information out. As it is we are going down the tubes with Roland selling anything not nailed down
RE: Bowyer walking I think it depends on his connection with the club
Him and Jackson are probably more aware of how fucked we are than the fans, it might not do them or their reputations any good by staying yet if they have a real affinity with the club (which I think they do), their aim will probably be keeping us from well and truly sinking
If Bowyer / Jackson go then we really should be worried as dont think there is anyone else at the club who cares (Euell surely doesnt want to be involved with the First Team), means the new man coming in will be a proper Roland stooge, someone who isnt going to care about results and will barely go through the motions of taking charge
Is it not about time the likes of Maurice Hatter ,Michael Grade,Keith Peacock, and whoever else is, or has been involved in a serious capacity over the years speaks publicly about the despicable state of affairs going on at this club.

I said the other day they might just as well put out a statement saying they’ve pulled out just to put us out of our misery.

Why would they? Every time they've made an official statement, or leaked anything substantial, they've been royally bitten in the posterior. Every time they thought they had a done deal Rolly moved the goal posts or something came up to delay things.

My guess if Bowyer decided to walk is that Jackson would pick up the pieces. He’s 100% committed and I do think would rather stay and do as much as he could to salvage something. I think LB might be a touch more volatile.
I am not directing my anger at the aussies. Wouldnt be surprised if the talk of them delaying comes from RD's camp. Its simple for me - RD in charge - not a penny spent on CAFC by me. Anyone else in charge - I buy a season ticket, shirt etc.

silly thing to do if they have not pulled out though
Remember this? "Easter Monday protests off as takeover nears The Coalition Against Roland Duchatelet (CARD) has withdrawn its plans to protest against the current ownership of Charlton Athletic at the Easter Monday game against Rotherham United."
Whatever it was that CARD had planned for Easter Monday needs to be reconvened pronto. Giving the liar breathing space to complete this alleged deal, is throwing the baby out with the bath water. Saturday's game needs to be disrupted to bring attention back to the peril to which CAFC has been dragged. Ideally the game needs to be abandoned. Losing 3 points, will be as nothing to having only memories and (very) old programmes to keep us warm in the Charltonless nights that will close in all too soon. The preposterous wankstain only acts when his nose is tweaked, so tweak it we must - and firmly - and repeatedly til the malicious liar offloads.

If the Aussies buy Charlton, I’ll have ‘I love Roland’ tattooed on my arse.
It is looking like matters may be coming to a head this week.
Why what have you heard @Covered End? Or just going on @jimmyseed saying there will be talks this week?
Going on the painful 2 weeks JS told us about, which ends this week. The sale of more players. Bowyer saying Bauer had been offered a new contract & Bauer saying he hasn't.
Thought I read somewhere @PragueAddick that ROT had posted something through the door of his (RDs) flat. Assuming if wasn't a turd, was it ROT canvassing material? any ideas?
Don't think this was anything to do with ROT. Just an individual delivering a message on behalf of @blackpool72
Fuck me, is this what it's come to - people arguing about whether the old fucker is asset stripping or not?
The font of all knowledge that is Wikipedia (I know) says this:
Asset stripping is a term used to refer to the practice of selling off a company's assets in order to improve returns for equity investors. With a lower level of assets, it is maintained, the business is rendered financially less stable or viable.
Certainly sounds like it to me. Reducing liabilities = improving returns for equity investors, and we only have one of those.
But either way, it matters not. There is quite clearly only one person to blame for the current 4+ year shitfest we are enduring and to suggest there is even a morsel of blame falling elsewhere, quite frankly, comes across as pie in the sky heatwave induced jibbering bollocks.
I don’t think anyone anywhere has suggested there is anyone to blame than RD for all of this
If it turns out that the Aussies made false bids in order to secure the club without having the funds in place that imo is nothing to do with the situation we have with RD but is well worthy of discussion debate and criticism
WTF????
They don’t have the money so why out bid people who do there are questions that need to be asked
And they have never had the money
nla......your assertion has always struck me as slightly misleading. What ‘exactly’ do you mean....... as in “don’t have the money?” What you are saying (I guess), is that as a consortium set up they haven’t found the required amount of financing from enough backers to spread the costs. I say this because Muir alone easily has the finance to come up with in order to fly solo if he so wished.....so what you should really be saying is that they(in the shape of Muir alone), do have the money but are simply not prepared to spend it on Goldfingers unrealistic asking price. Your continually saying they (Muir) don’t have the money is therefore somewhat inaccurate........they most certainly DO have the money but are they prepared to stump up with it.......it would seem that for one reason or another they aren’t. It’s a moot point I know, but for the sake of clarity you must understand that when you continue to say they don’t have the money it’s somewhat misleading. Well it is to me anyway.
One of their investors has the money personally to do it all but chooses not to
The consortium it’s self does not have the money in place to purchase the club
Agreed. It's not the wealth of the bidders, rather their willingness to part with some of that wealth.
And your name is Cedric and it's Friday - proof if it was needed that Uncle Dickie is a pathological liar.

Last time Euell was involved with the first team he didn't get the appropriate pay adjustment.
So what do we think will happen in the next few days?
Bauer, Aribo and Ajose will be sold The takeover will collapse Murray will release a statement blaming the Aussies We have to soldier on with a senior squad of 15 players plus the development squad All of the above

Yep and further cost cutting with the academy players having to wash their own kits and having to give Big Tones motor a wax in the car park.

They did say ‘couple of difficult weeks ahead but it’ll be worthwhile in the end’. That could be wildly optimistic for all I know, but we’re certainly having the difficult weeks right now. Let’s hope we get the worthwhile bit next.

No chance. Your telling me after letting Josh go on the cheap and maybe aribo or Bauer the Aussies won't rearrange their valuation of the club. And if the Aussies are knocking money off Roland will be happy with it.
At the risk of stating the b******g obvious, this is the worst state of affairs I have seen since starting supporting the club in 1962. Why in God's name would anyone want to take up supporting this club nowadays? Those that are already, are just cursed. Part of me feels just go into administration and don't come out of it and put us out of our misery!
I was told today by the trolley collector at Asda that the Aussies will not complete without clean title and they are waiting for the Rat to sort out the Directors loans. Lol
