Not saying it's true, but 're. the stewards briefing - I don't think anyone is suggesting they need to be told, but the rumour could've been that something was said during the safety talk before the match along the lines of "You may or may not be aware, but it's comimg from the top that the takeover will be completed next week, so this weekend should be the last for any potential disturbances (protests) relating to the current owner".
Again, I'm not saying that happened, but I think that is in the context of the rumour started
There we go...it'll be all over twitter now that a CL mod has just confirmed the takeover.
SSN are outside Grove Park train station right now
This talk of a steward briefing is a bit strange as I’ve just got off the phone to the old man who was in the north lower yesterday.
He arrived at the ground early yesterday and was chatting to a steward, who told him they “were expecting a demonstration at 3pm” my old man Noted “there weren’t enough people for a demonstration”
The steward replied “if it carries on,(?) the club will be liquidated”
Now, I am fully aware of the all the discussions on here about the charges on assets and unlikelihood of liquidation.
However, it was a very unusual comment from Dad, even speaking to a steward. Then to log on here and see all this talk about stewards, I just thought I’d share what he was told.

Did this “steward” have duct tape on one of his shoes ?

As likely as those other theories such as Roland is purposefully destroying the club so he can sell The Valley for housing, or that there never was a takeover and it’s all a plan to stop protests.

Well, one of the people I spoke to yesterday was the guy who runs the stewarding company, so I guess he would have known about that. He’s got no more time for Duchatelet than I have.
Like I said, I'm not saying it happened, but that's in the context as I understood the rumour to've begun. I wouldn't have thought the Aussies and RD woulda said, "Right, that's a done deal, let's get our priorities right and tell the most important people in all this, the stewards."
.....and let's be honest, on the general scheme of things Charlton related, the stewards knowing the deals gone though before a lot of other people know, wouldn't be the most outlandish thing to happen
Groundhog Day...a takeover is imminent once we know what division we're in, it was due for most of November and December, then before the transfer window closed, no players were to be bought or sold until the announcement...some players were sold, then Murray confirmed Feb,March at the latest (looking like he might have bullshitted us, again). It was imminent after the play offs, and again at the end of may. A trusted source says it's a done deal and will be announced in the coming year when we know what league we're in.
The trusted source is not to be trusted and is on a wind up.
We shouldn't have trusted an owner with a syrup, yellow teeth and £7 Shoe Zone shoes tapped up. His family and close friends warned us he was a wanker who'd asset strip us and pocket the money.

Interesting last sentence ads.....but exactly when did his family and close friends inform us of him being a wanker and that he would asset strip us? Can’t say I remember that.

Minor detail mate he's definitely asset stripping us and a five knuckle shuffle merchant .

I can’t remember the family bit but I do remember Standard fans telling us what would happen. I thought it was sour grapes on their part but with the wonders of hindsight they were spot on and some.

Yes, that is certainly true....but friends and relatives?
Rumour yesterday was started by a tweet saying it was said at a staff briefing. @Henry Irving later said there was no staff briefing. However, I’m sure the stewards have a briefing meeting before every game so it could well have eminated from that
No one is briefing the stewards about a takeover. Why would they?
Unless it's stewards in one of the lounges. They're usually quite well informed.
Has he ever brought in a proper CEO? If so, I must have missed their flying visit!
How much is a half decent CEO? Bearing in mind he was probably paying the incompetent Meire a fair whack, I would suggest he'll bumble along without one for as long as it takes...and that could be years!

Can we be Liquidated? what would this mean? Could RD do this??@AirmanBrown??
No, we won't be liquidated/go into administration.
This generally happens when companies can't pay their debts to creditors and end up having the debts written off or only pay at let's say 1p in the £1 owed (as an example).
As all the debt is owed to RD. He's not going to put Charlton into administration, in order to avoid paying the money owed to himself.
We could be liquidated but the main creditor would be Mr Ducktape so wouldn't make much sense. Planning for the ground would be against the previous attempt which formed the Valley Party, so is unlikely to happen. Once done RD doesn't get to choose who buys the assets so the Ozzies would buy the club for significantly less than £40m (or £47m for the intellectually challenged)

Planning has moved on considerably since 1990, so I don’t think that history is hugely relevant. However even if there was the political will to assist him, it would still take many years to put together a scheme to develop The Valley and to overcome the various hurdles, practical as well as legal. He could close the business down but he would have to pay the ex-directors out in full before he got any money back.
I do wish people would read all the posts fully as then there wouldn't be any misunderstandings.
A previous poster had said that J Ackworth had got the info from someone at a staff meeting before the match where they had been briefed about the takeover
@Henry Irving then said that there was no staff meeting
@AFKABartram then posted that the stewards have a briefing before the match & so Ackworth could be refering to this meeting
@Airman Brown Brown then said why would the stewards be told about the takeover.
I don't think @AFKABartram meant that the stewards were being told about the takeover but simply the stewards have a briefing before every match & so hence that is where Ackworths "meeting" is related to.
chinese whispers......jeez. send three 'n fourpence, we're going to a dance.

If the takeover happens on Monday I’ll have the list of stewards tattooed on my arse.
