As everybody is giving business tips to Roland, a chap that supposedly only made a mere €500 million if I read the comments on CL correctly, on what he should do if the takedown doesn’t happen, here is mine for him...make Bowyer the permanent Manager, give him the funds to sign the loan players he needs to push for promotion, then let other potential bidders consider if they want to make a move on a team that looks like it’s going up.

There was 2 people in press gantry Saturday getting very animated about the game. They were far to keen and excited about Charlton to be regular fans.
They were not reporters and at the end of the game made there way over to the directors box leaned over and was making conversation with someone below.
Were they then escorted away by men in white coats ?
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?
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.
Well, this is Duchatelet. Dance v Advance, I know what I think.
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.
"if it carries on,(?)
There hasn't been a protest for over a season now?
Last I heard the Aussies were gone. Had the money to purchase the club but not enough to invest and take us forward
In the opinion of the EFL? I wonder what they make of Roland's "investment" over the last few years?
I really do find it unbelievable that once you've passed their flimsy test to become a club owner you can do what the hell you like.
It wouldn't happen in the NFL for example. The owner of the Carolina Panthers was recently ordered to sell the franchise after allegations of sexual miscodnuct and racial discrimination. If only the EFL, FA, Premier League, UEFA or FIFA had the balls to impose a rule like this.

At the risk of starting a willy-waving contest: how do you rate your source on that?
So far, much of the info coming from those well connected inside the club have been saying that the Aussies don't have the reddies - but GM has been (softly) denying this all along.
Would anyone really be that disappointed by another ‘false dawn’ with little credibility.. the bottom of that barrel has been well and truly scraped by now.
If the Australian’s have “gone” and I’m not saying they havn’t. Surely the club ought to be making an announcement. The only reason I can see not is if CAFC are preferring to say nothing in order to gain leverage on any other lunatic interested parties.

Agreed, but surely the Aussies would put out a statement if it was definitely off ?

Exactly. If they are/were "out" they have nothing to lose by saying so

Or they say nothing and switch attention to buying another club. Can't see it would be down to them to announce it, would be the club surely and can't see them announcing it either as it gives them the chance to pretend The Aussies are still in the game to any other bidders.

It isn’t off.
doesn't really matter anymore. They really can affect this season now until January & by then the season is half way done and buying players in January usually means inflated prices as selling clubs know you're desperate (and in this case maybe having money)
Also RD can't do much more damage. Once we get past Aug 31st RD can't get rid of any players & currently its only to foreign teams anyway......only really Bauer now would attract interest from overseas.

Jim. how do you know, it isn't off ?
Well unless something has changed since Saturday?
Golfie’s about right with his assessment above though. I’m never going to know why there are delays, because they won’t tell me. But they will confirm it’s still on when I harass them yet again ;-)

You know the take...over...that all the security staff were briefed on?
Nah?
Awe nuts!

Rubber Bloke and others are playing a blinder at stringing everyone along with titbits and dissipating any urge to protest 'just in case.'
Murray never said which February!

Can’t do that on a daily basis though.
