    @JimWhite round up

    - People brokering the deal have said that club will change hands Monday. (Australians)

    - Money is there and been confirmed

    - Thought to be in the region of 20-30 million

    - 'I know some charlton fans are sceptical but I’m on the money with this one'

    Are you doucher in disguise ? he assured us weeks/months/years ago he would be the first to let us know
    can't confirm yet but lets just say that I've swung into the 'this could well be imminent' group
    From first to know to last to know :wink:

    All rumours at the moment - will let u know when something concrete happens!!!! Just hope we get a good crowd tomorrow now
    Nope.
    Jim White on Sky News is reporting it as definite.
    You had one job - to be the first to break the news and thereby retain your position of smuggest know-it-all on the block.
    Epic fail Douche. Late to the party mate :wink:
    i will confirm if it gets completed however, which it hasn't yet,
    You may, since we have given you the heads-up :wink:

    You might be right about the smug thing
    thanks, you're a diamond
  • Well, tie my kangaroo down, sport.
    Tie my kangaroo down. 😀😀😀
  • Will boycotters return?
    I’ve just been informed my bestie is going today.
    She’s not set foot inside the Valley since Douchbag bought us & she’s second generation CAFC. I honestly didn’t see that coming.
    Me?
    I’m all aboard the Shrewsbury bus, until he’s officially gone I’m staying in West Cork.
  • David Smith the (potential) new owners have earned far more than £7m since you started reposting. Repayment of the loans doesn't need negotiating with the debenture holders, they are repaid then they are gone.
  • Not been there for years , seriously is that London Bridge , looks amazing !
    Is there still that sticky little boozer next door to the ticket office where the station split and you had to show tickets to get to platforms heading towards Sidcup, bexleyheath etc

    Who are the new owners? Do you know for sure they are repaying? Apart from Murray they were all gone in 2010,leaving their debt to save the club from admin.
    I am sure they hope you are correct.
    Will be the first owners ever to engage with them properly since 2010.

    It’s the sheer size and height that gets me every time I go through there. It looks large enough to accomodate the valley, stands as well. How did they manage that without raising the height of the tracks or going below street level ? It never looked that high before.

    I cannot remember the name but I do remember the bloody thing did not have a toilet and you had to pop along to the concourse area to have a piddle.

    Be fair. The spivs engaged with them - they banned some of them from the ground at times.
    Thanks to Roland, it's easy to forget that Slater and Jiminez were also dickheads. They were the John the Baptists of dickheadery, preparing the way for the biggest dickhead of them all.
    Oh god I hope you’re right and we don’t end up with an even bigger dickhead where we look back with fondness at the tenure of Duchatelet

    I am sure I saw RD engage with one of them or atleast one of his minions in a @Curb_It style headlock during one game at home a couple of seasons back as well
  • Just catching up with the Friday evening/overnight posts on this thread and was mightily excited to see 5 new pages of posts!! Only to read that its mainly about WIwLB having 'discussions' with everyone who answered his posts, only briefly interrupted with posts about who is buying us!!
    Lets all move on, please!!!! (not the first time I've said this), the last 5 years have seen fans turn on other fans depending on whether you supported RD, did not support RD, were a protester or a boycotter, or you despised those that were, or indeed the many who were in no camp but decided to find something else to do on a Saturday because we were just a laughing stock of a club!! If we are now under new ownership (or will be by next week), its time to put down a new marker and the fans unite to try and help the team get over the promotion line and show these new owners just what we supporters can do to help the team on the pitch on match days. The time for recriminations and polarised camps should now be a thing of the past and name-calling to cease. Can we at least try?
    As for Dr Kish, I do know him and he is well connected inside the club, it could be he published his article not from hearing it on here, but after hearing from other 'sources' and may have been asked to take it down until after the deal is complete? I'm not in the know, but it is unlike Dr Kish to publish something and then take it down again, so I would sugest we just wait and see. Now lets all make up and leave the past where it should be....in the past.
    COYR's

    Hear Hear! Been fed up with 'fan against fan' for a while now. It ain't 'old school' Charlton!

    Proper shithole but I pretty much used to go in for the last pint before my last train every time I was out in the city. No bog, stunk of puke but had an ok jukebox.

    Boycotters will return - lapsed supporters will need more encouragement. There are almost certainly a lot more of the latter than the former.
    Completely agree.
    It happened during our first exile, no reason why history can’t repeat itself.
    Just needs everyone to get behind it once the old eejit has finally fecked off :smile:

    This ... I’m sitting here with my credit card waiting for the announcement. It’s going to be incumbent on the current supporters and boycotters to entice the lapsed supporters out of their hibernation #TeamWIOTOS
  • The takeover has to complete today as the prophesied page landed today.

    So is that three stars or four?
  • Christ. Just how disappointing is this going to be if it’s just another false dawn.

    This would be the worst, as it would mean at least another five months of Duch.
  • Hmm Kish has taken it down now maybe he’s jumped the gun

    Can we not talk about guns in front of our prospective new American friends.
