    If the club was planning a statement the sensible thing from their perspective would be to roll it up with transfer stuff and Bowyer’s appointment, which might require waiting to see what actually happens on deadline day. Then again we might get a Roland statement attacking “some investors who did not come to support the team” - must be overdue.

    are you hearing it’s over and the Aussies are out?

    The nervous nineties are an Australian worst nightmare (That and Sandpaper).

    I remember where I was when I heard that the zabeel (spelling?) takeover fell through. I wonder where I’ll be when I hear that we are stuck with Roland forever

    It won't be forever.

    The sun will expand and swallow the earth in about 7.5 Billion years.

    There's also lots of other things that could end Roland's reign. Deadly volcanoes, earth's core freezing, an asteroid killing off all life on earth.

    Here's some more ways Roland would stop owning the club:

    Are the roles being advertised as 1 month rolling contracts?

    No vacancies on the OS at the moment...

    He'll likely recruit via Gumtree and postcards in newsagents' windows for our executive
    He has a family wedding coming up so I'd guess all the recruitment will be done there.
    Game of Thrones anyone ? Red Wedding ? :smile:

  • Get the feeling it could be an internal appointment.

    A loyal senior manager who knows how to kowtow to the owner.

  • Clue in my name as to where I now live. Admit to posting mainly when had a sherbut. But have been a season ticket holder many times in the past. Now been up here for 25 years, I feel very deep down as Charlton as I ever have done, though struggling to get into this season tbh. I follow this thread with all the emotions of a right side covered end rollercoaster game. But my feelings are overshadowed by what feels more like a less intense but still similar feeling of if a member of the family is fighting for their lives, for those of you who have been through this, it tends to be a rollercoaster of emotions and constantly changing conditions / situations and emotions. In my life it has sometimes turned out good and sometimes not.
    I need to pull away from that thought but feel how the shit this one will turnout like fuk nose.

    Fuck off Roland. Give me my club back..I still support the team jj and lb. Lets try and find a way of expressing that and our hatred of RD and getting rid of the duck tape out of OUR club
    Charlton till I die.

    You must be a glutton for punishment.

    Supporting Charlton and living in Blackburn.

    Haven’t heard anythIng new on the Aussies. Longer it goes on the less likely it is to happen, you’d think.

    Anyone who takes such a job should expect a rough ride, I should think.

  • Angeldust, on the other unmentionable site, saying Duchatelet now actively looking for executive staff to run the business, as Australian consortium have failed in their attempt to broker a deal for the club.

    How about a few players too?

    I shall be applying for all positions including Goalkeeper and false no.9
  • The demise of the take-over is like a relegation battle. You know it's going to fail but the language changes gradually until at the death there is talk about not giving up while it's mathematically possible. You go over permutations about winning your last games 4-0 while somebody else losses theirs, while at the same time you are preparing for the inevitable. No more talk of relegation on this thread though.......................................

    Plot twist. He doesn’t have a clue, like every single other dick swinger on this thread.
    Don't quite get the constant hate towards people passing on info. Nor the accusations of 'dick swinging'.

    Despite being fairly wedded to their version of events and loyal to their sources, I don't ever remember Airman, NLA, J Seed etc giving it the biggun and pretending they were better than any of us for having certain contacts.

    So stop digging people out for the sake of it. This saga has driven us all completely fucking insane but taking it out on fellow Addicks is just embarrassing.

    The famous 'done deal', for example, was premature, but it was just passing on statements from credible sources inside and outside the club. Get over it. Would you rather the likes of Airman just sat on their arses, not digging, not questioning, not pressurising, not seeking info? Leaving us all in the dark and resigned to haplessly eat up the lies from Roland and Murray? With that attitude, our club wouldn't have been saved in the 80s/90s, and Roland may never have put us up for sale this time around.

    Stop digging out our own for being proactive and sharing info just because they're not fucking Nostradamus.
    No hate, just facts. No one is ITK.

    How can they be ITK if even Roland and the Aussies don't know what's going to happen?

    Even if it can't predict the future, some info is better than no info, so let's just lay off those who try to shed some light on this shit show.
    So you admit, no one is ITK. Which is my point that you have been arguing.

    I haven't argued that at all mate. I argued that people should stop digging out fellow fans who get/share information on what might be going on.
