This thread will grow by 1000 pages when it does happen...
I think this thread has the propensity to go into the realm of theoretical physics whereby we reach infinity and cannot explain what is happening, why it’s happening and it’s simply beyond human understanding.
Usmanov interested in Everton or Bayern Munich or AC Milan or Roma. So I think lil old Charlton is a bit below his radar.
His smartest move would be to buy Newcastle. None of the other clubs would be interested, really.
Seen a lot of reports about him investing in Everton because he's good friends with Moshiri, but yes i agree Newcastle would be a decent investment for him as he'd have complete ownership.
Not much point him investing in Bayern. Firstly they already buy the best German players and win the league every season. Secondly, they still have the 50+1 rule there which means he currently couldn't own more than 49% of them.
Posts on this thread get less and less frequent by the day. I think most people seem to have given up all hope of a takeover in this transfer window, which means it'll likely now be 5 more months, if at all this season.
Heard anything new from the Aussies @JamesSeed ? .
Loads yeah. They’re bombarding me with calls and texts to such an extent that I’ve had to change my mobile number. I just wish they’d leave me alone :-(
Are you serious? There’s plenty of life in this old horse yet. OK we’ve had poetry but no-one has touched on opera yet. There have been house, car and shop selling analogies, but at no point has anyone likened the sale of the club to a surrogate pregnancy, and subsequent sale of the child. I’m looking forward to the next 1000 pages.
Not to mention the many and varied tangents of which the 17th century Belgian ambassador was a particular favourite of mine although I would perhaps question that it would have been Flanders at the Court of St James in the 17th century rather than Belgium which only came into being in the early 19th century.
See what fun can be had - cue puns based on late medieval and/or post-medieval historical research and/or the Simpsons (Ned Flanders - geddit!).
no, this can run and run and beats the hell out of reading endless and desperate clutching at straws posts about a takeover (sorry AFKB).
Just the kind of post I need at the start of the day mate! I shall attempt to delve deeper into the machinations of the Flemish ambassador! By the way, let me know when (or if) you are next coming up for a game.

Very disappointing. Unless people buck their ideas up, we'll never get to page 1500
It'll happen once no one has posted in this thread for a week.
This thread needs closing down for a little while I think. There is no information and it’s just silly. I open it to skim through to see if there is anything worthy but nope, just has become a pointless thread.
Probably best to reopen once we have proper information whether that’s from real sources learning something new or Richard Cawley finding something out for example.
Just had a Twitter notification to say that Curry nights are returning to the Valley ... We’re being bought by the Star of India. Free popadoms all round
Apologies for asking and maybe it’s really a question just for @NapaAddick but can anyone remind me if we think that if the Aussies are successful in their £37-45m bid for the club (and all property etc.) will they then still owe Stay-Pricks £65m or does that just go away?

"Barnsley Football Club's CEO sent a letter of support to a fan suffering from depression.
What an amazing gesture from the club"

page 1234 is the big one.
That is when the takeover will be confirmed on the OS
LOCKED ON FACT DONE DEAL*
*maybe subject to change or cancellation
I’m clinging to the hope that if the deal was definitely off we would have seen an official statement released by now.
I just wish they’d leave me alone :-(
Only 17 posts on this thread when I logged on.
Then I knew nothing had happened.
It took us 6 months to get to 100 pages and a further 2 months to get to 200 pages.
It's now taken us 1 month to get to 100 pages since we turned 1000 and further 1 month to get to 200 post 1000.
The conclusion is that we're now posting a lot of guff whereas the initial content seemed informative.
I blame Douchbag.
* The figures may not be totally accurate but i really can't be bothered to go back and check.

Finding it difficult to feel at all positive about CAFC right now
Emergency lolcats needed quickly.....
