    that doesn't look like London bridge

    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
    Thats where I'd have said it was; either that or the bus station is just to the right
  • Jesus, it might actually be happening! It feels right this time

    From twitter, Roland at London Bridge

    Anyone know of a sniper in the LB area?
    I'm sure we could all chip in to pay the fee.

    Guess they'll want to do it properly with a press conference etc.

    If it's done, and the signatures are on the documents, then we have ducked a potential two sheds bullet - he can't sell our best players :)

    Also time for LB to strengthen.
    This is key.

    Today’s London Bridge photo is from a Belgium in March.
    Oh............................... Bollocks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Do leave off you lot.

    This ain't happening. Jim been fed another plate of shyte like the rest.

    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.
    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 ‘It’s happening’ gifs next week.
    Fixed for you.

    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.
    If your source for that is solid, that is highly significant. My mate in Vienna who tried last time with Arenacom and the Ukrainian was trying to out something together in the autumn, but I have not heard anything from him since.

  • JW also said he has been told this by the broker of the deal.

    any links to the sound bite?, i need to hear this with my own ears for my own sanity 😂

    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...
    I know what division we're in. League 1, third tier, and if we're not bought, lock stock and three smoking barrels soon we will end up in League 2 after the out of contract players all leave and the injured players pensioned off.
    ASAP or Quicker, our future depends on it.

    Now that is very interesting, if that’s what’s been said then sale must be close, not disbelieve is you east terrace, just such a confident statement of fact.

    Actually you can go up escalators on either side for platforms where Charlton trains run through. As you're best off getting off somewhere near the front for Charlton, and that's the direction RD is headed in, I must applaud his efficiency and efforts to expedite the sale of the club in every way possible.
