I may have missed it but what exactly was the 'evidence' that brought about this new story of a takeover? Was it a DD document? Was it a letter to a bank? Was it word and mouth? What was it and why do we think its still ongoing? Obviously names can't be given but clarity on what form the information was in would at least help substantiate wouldn't it? My source says its a non story and isn't happening and that source would know. Whether that is or isn't true and the reasons for saying that, as Airman alluded to, could be indeed for good reason - i.e the post zabeel crash etc etc?? I don't know but my view is that RD does want out and has done since relegation / the change in strategy 18 months ago and if I was a betting man I'd say he will sell in the summer whether we go up or not with the up or not being the last part of the deal affecting the price.
Tens of thousands of pounds have been spent and Meire has been actively involved this week, which would be odd for something that isn’t happening at all. I can’t give up the sources for obvious reasons but they are multiple, well placed and don’t know each other.
Airmen, your choice, but I wouldn't respond to posts like this anymore mate.
Posts like what? Asking what has actually given rise to 119 page thread?
If you go against the grain, express independent or controversial thought or fail to tongue the right arses on here sometimes you're going to get shut down.
Better to stay schtum and view the wank circle as a silent observer at times.
I think it’s fair to say we do know something is happening. At the moment I’m just thankful for that and grateful to those that are in a position to provide snippets of information. Lets hope everything goes well.
Echo this, thanks for any tit bits you can and do share Airman.
The circle of knowledge inside the club on this will be tiny - I doubt for example that Chris Parkes or Karl Robinson knows anything - and none of the people who do know will leak, certainly not to me.
The current ownership has no interest in broadcasting it - look at the whole way they have conducted themselves since 2014 - which is far more likely to be the main consideration than anything else.
As a fan I want to know if these clowns are going any time soon and I think that’s true of most people. If not what is the point of any reporting other than what the club wants you to know is happening at any given time?
without judging, how do you know about a deal going on then?
Red does make a good point though. The complete radio silence on this very important “Charlton” issue is baffling. You would imagine that local football journalists would be all over this, yet nothing.
There could be an embargo? Like the deal has happened but they still have a few more i's to dot and t's to cross
Or could be the fact there are only a few left
hopefully we find out soon
Or could be they want it announced on December 5th

Necessarily, there are a number of people outside the club who know. It’s a complex process.
Why are people getting all aggressive at one another... It either is or isn't happening.
There's no need to get funny with one another and tell people they can't moan when it doesn't happen - of course they can. They're emotionally invested in the belief that this will happen.

This is starting to escalate.
