I think we should have a survey. Will it happen in 24 hours Will it happen in 48 hours Won't happen at all.😁
what one you going for Blackpool
One that gives me a like and not a flag.
Can't see it happening any time soon if I'm honest. Hopefully new owners in time to build the squad for next season regardless of what league we are in.
This transfer window would be a great time to take over the club for a prospective buyer, we're in a good league position, and with some good additions in January could make a strong 2nd half push for promotion, any new buyer would surely extend Lee Bowyer and JJ's contracts as well as key players?
My son's stadium tour is today so I'll keep my eye out for Scarfy what with a takeover and 2 players due in I expect him to see him being photographed aloft at least once!!
I’m appreciative to Jim White for his work on this and he could well be right. He does strike me as some sort of football groupie though. His twitter feed is often pictures of him with players, managers, ex pros and other celebrities. He seems to be in between a reporter, and a sort of hanger on
Just my take from what I see on his social media feed
This is always my read on him keeping in mind most of my "interactions" with Jim White come from watching him on Sky's ridiculous Deadline Day coverage. But as you say, I would consider him an "Access" journalist more than I would an investigatory one.
That doesn't make him bad, or wrong on this necessarily, but it was my first thought when hearing the rumor. Just context to take this with. The fact that multiple people are hearing it with what I imagine are different sources is about a good an omen as we can get without anything official being released.
If the club and stadium don't go together any deal will need very careful examination..e.g. Peppercorn rent for 100 years.I If the consortium struggle for money, then don't waste what they do have on fantasy or vanity signings.
I am certain The Valley has been the key in negotiations.
Priority has to be getting good, long-term contracts to Aribo, Fosu, Bauer (if he wants to stay), Grant and anyone else plus sign Cullen on a permanent deal.
The situation heated up again last Sunday when a party, including an Australian investor in his mid-30s with Aussie Rules connections, was shown around the training ground and The Valley by Duchâtelet’s point man Lieven De Turck – particularly remarkable given the time of year and the fact that he only usually visits from Belgium in midweek.
VOTV soon heard that the group had been introduced as “the new owners” who would be announced in the next few days, however accurate that might ultimately prove to be, but we waited until we could get further independent confirmation of the visit before disclosing it on Tuesday via Twitter.
When is April Fools Day in Belgium? Just checking.....
Imagine that, website goes down and there’s a big announcement story when it comes back up and it’s just a picture Roland with the caption “GOTCHA DICKHEADS”
A made up rumour to sell more copies of VOTV on Saturday, right?
Why would it be a made up rumour to sell his mag when he's just put it online for everyone to see now if he had said takeover news in this week's mag and not posted the story maybe he would be trying to sell it

I agree, I was just getting there before the CARD/Airman haters do. Maybe I should have added a wink face...

My wife asked me recently "do you miss going to charlton".My answer was "no not really".I have replaced it with a regular game of golf and have a tee time booked as usual for this saturday at 10.07. When this latest rumour started gathering speed I noticed that I was already planning in my head to phone my playing partners up to "cry off" and return to the valley on saturday for the sunderland match.If the sale goes through I will be there .I wont be able to stop myself as I am hopelessly addicted to the mighty reds.If the rumours dont materialise I will revert to the golf course until the rat departs. I suppose after 35 years of marriage she knows I lied to her when I said I didnt miss going to charlton.It is in my blood and has been since september 1967.It hurts like hell to see what Roland [and Katrien] have done in 5 short years but I will be back the second he is gone.

"Are you sure you wouldn't prefer Hayden Mullins and Darren Purse?"
