Rumours were added to and altered by word of mouth in pubs, offices, and over the garden fence. Now people can plant a seed (I don't mean you Jimmy) of a fib which turns into an oak tree of lies.
We all want this take over to happen so badly that we would accept Dame Edna as owner and Les Paterson as CEO.
Speaking for myself, I’d prefer Sir Les as owner and Dame Edna as CEO.
I think the drip drip to the FF and more full on leaks to the media during transfer windows is entirely consistent with a ‘sales process’ designed to keep buyers interest and or flush them out. LdT has admitted he is completely focussed on selling the club and all of the above could well be part of that.
They have turned away recent interest on the basis they have a deal.
I so want that sentence to be true. I just hope you haven't got your head in the clouds Airman.
Hilarious how people that believe they are informed, really know nothing.
So many words, so little truth.
At least they're acting on good faith as Charlton fans, rather than waiting to mock, or point out someone's wrong, or moan, or otherwise act divisively, which a lot of other people do.
I respect and trust Airman and others immensely, and know it is only out of fervent hope for the betterment of this football club that they say what they do.

Ok must have missed that, seems unlikely though
Edit: that they or anyone else would turn away genuine credible interest before a deal was signed off

It is true to my certain knowledge, but I would continue to caution that he is delusional and it doesn’t mean he is right this time any more than before.
Jim White about to talk about us again in a bit says sale could be done early next week.
I hope Jim White tells us the potential buyer is waiting to see what division we’re in. Or will he say that next week? Either way it’ll be said soon enough, which is good, as that’s my fave...
Just said he understands fit and proper test is no problem, no idea if he thinks that has been done, Monday or Tuesday it should be done. Time obviously moves slower in Scotland.

Never known anything drag on like this. The can has been kicked down the road so many times, there can be barely anything left of it. Next Tuesday will probably come and go.......

I sincerely hope so - but I'm not getting any younger!
Not to get all Charlton and trainspotty, but I'm going to anyway.
It does look a bit like London Bridge, specifically the big long corridor from platforms 1-9 (ish) that extends toward the Tube/Tooley and Duke St, the one with the toilets and M&S/Smiths/MAC etc down it, which is still being renovated. OR - it's that little wing by the Krispy Kreme and cash machines which is also still being renovated.
... I know way too much about the station for my own good
It’s funny (peculiar not ha ha) that we’ve gone in something like 48 hours from being excited and optimistic about this latest upsurge in rumours to despondent and cynical.
Who could blame us.
There are a number of us on here that have not been excited or optimistic in the last 48 hours. Jim White makes a living out of talking nonsense on "Talkshite" and it would take a lot more than a press release from him to get my juices flowing.
But it has been from just more than him.
Who else has said this? Even Jim White is rather vague. The one thing I can think of is, it is in the owners interest, as he wants to sell, is to keep the story going and talk up the market, if that is possible to do with a third tier club that loses money like its going out of fashion.

It's not the DFS sale!
Sammy Davis Junior?
Next thing we'll know is he'll be the Ex-Owner on Transfer Deadline Day / Sky Sports News providing his expert analysis
