  • So it's just after 9am Friday in Eastern Australia, a bit earlier still in the west. Next 8-10 hours could be critical...

    Will I be booking a trip to The Valley for Sat or heading off to the wilds of the West of Scotland?

    Time will tell.

    Och aye da nuuu

  • Do leave off you lot.

    This ain't happening. Jim been fed another plate of shyte like the rest.
  • I'd like to ask again: will the takeover really happen before we reach page 2000? :joy:


    Nope.

    The takeover will be on page 3,000.
    Not much will have changed.......................but we’ll live underwater!
    ...and drive hovercars. And go to the moon for lunch.

    Blimey, there should be a street party outside the ground after it's finally/hopefully announced to welcome the new lot in. Could this be organised? Not sure how it would work with the council, as it could obviously be well attended.

    Possibly the worst idea since on a balmy 1898 July evening in the tiny village of Braunau- am- Inn Austria. School teacher Alois Hitler turned to his wife Klara and said “ Fancy an early night love.”
    A mere 9 years after Hitler was born.

    Also Alois Hitler wasn't a teacher.

    My post should have read 1888 not 1898.
    I am also pretty certain that Alois was a teacher at some point in his life.

    Is this a clue? New Chinese consortium?
  • Always one 😂

    Have to say the likelihood of getting any real news at this time of night must approximate to zero.

    Fuck knows why I’m even refreshing this thread every 5 minutes.

    Tbh its 8.50 AM in Australia so you couod get news from Australia soon haha

    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.

    Me too. I am due to referee a game on Saturday and hate the idea of letting both teams down, but I will.

    What do you think Duchatelet’s motive for misleading Jim White is then? What does he gain from that? And spare us any nonsense about curtailing the almighty wrath of the fans’ forum or the prospect of protests hundreds of miles away from him, which in fact it is more likely to provoke.
    I’m convinced what we have heard now from multiple sources is all true. What needs to happen now is for the buyers to get it over the line. That hasn’t proved easy so far and might still not be but let’s be hopeful.

    Murphy’s not a financial director and Elliott’s not a chief executive. Their idea has been to make Murphy chief executive and Elliott vice chairman.

    Dead easy. Duchatelet decides he only wants AUD 10 (that’s 10 Australian dollars) for the club and Bruce is your uncle.

    (And also probably your brother.)

    Resurrect interest from other parties because everything had gone very quiet on all fronts?
    Not the case and he knows it.

    My cynical stance is JW has been fed info that has some high profile excitement points of ‘could’ attached to it that grab headlines, but underlying it are a whole host of ifs and maybes that would be required to bring it to fruition. Exactly the same way you were similarly unintentionally burnt on this in the past from well connected sources that you trust where the ‘could’ point come and past.

    As soon as the 48-72hr angle was played I dampened my expectation as it just doesn’t seem feasible on that timeline without a host of other information becoming common knowledge. If it is announced tomorrow then I’ll be happy for this to look stupid, but even if this group does eventually progress then more would have emerged by now for it to be this week.

    My best guess is I foresee a mass escalation of ‘what’s happening’? next week.
    But why leak it when there is a FF next week anyway.

  • I know how long it took to get to the point of signing a 2,000sq foot office lease agreement between two willing, known, uncomplicated partners - best part of four months once the lawyers got involved.

    Appreciate this "deal" has allegedly been going on for over a year but somehow can't see it all suddenly falling into place in next 24 hours.

    I'm preparing for my weekend in the West of Scotland.
  • can't believe it's those software chaps. they seem far too sensible to invest in football.

    Do we know when the COO will be replaced, I need to organise a leaving gift.

    Start saving bags of dog shite!

    If you start saving now, you’ll have a dumper truck full by the time any sale actually goes through.
  • Atlassian - Jira Software used in Agile project methodology. Another methodology and software to support it. A passing fad like so many others. They probably have money to burn right now but it will dry up eventually or they sell to a Google, Oracle or Microsoft and we become their pet project !

    Probably for the same reason his regime has been lying to us from the start, blokes a c***.
