Jim White is at the ground, his info is from the guy that brokered the deal. Money to be transferred Monday and a deal should be announced Tuesday.

Let this be correct.
I hope your not telling a White lie.

Word on the street was people in the club think it was done, Jim White on the other hand was back tracking. Make of that what you will.

Heard that too. People behind me who seem in the know from past comments reckon price has been agreed and proof of funds shown but it's going to take a few weeks for everything to finalise.

He was probably reminded that his info came from the camp of people last seen wearing scarves 8 months ago.

I’d back track too if I were given timeframes by them.

"around", very good Freudian slip addick05,

Since April 2017 that's all that's keeps happening, around and around, till we lose the will to........

The only noise from within that I heard today was we have been here before it’s not done till it’s done and there’s only two sets of people that can influence it so everyone else should just chill and wait and see what happens in the next 7-10 days

Have you been speaking to Henry Irving??

He's avoiding me in case I ask about keys.

How's it going in Alicia's fan club these days?

At the end of day it's a load of bollocks really

Can i just be the first to say....FOR FUCK SAKE.........

So a takeover that’s too late and not going to have any positive impact on Bowyers ability to get in players to give us a decent shout at going up. It’s only been rumbling on two fecking years. They couldn’t get it together just two weeks ago so that this season isn’t just quite likely another rub out.

Pretty much.

Probably, but we can keep hoping it’s almost done for a few more days.

superclive

let's just focus on the team. that 2nd half performance today was immense and we have some key players to come back still. there's loads to be positive about.

cafc_harry

Don’t think you can read anything in to that’s he either says it’s going ahead 100% and gets slated if it doesn’t or plays dumb.

I-SAW-POUSO-PLAY said:

Is that backed up by anything at all? Or the fact that people might’ve exaggerated and now realise it’ll take a bit longer.

Did Jim White give any indication as to when the 72 hours is supposed to start?

3 days before the end of the transfer window

superclive

liked the look of Williams. I thought morgan was superb. I thought they showed a level of character and fight not seen since 2013 and that Cardiff game. it's that spirit that gives us a chance. autos will be tough, but this is a team that could go on a run and .. could win the playoffs. Proper Charlton fighters and... supremely talented. I'm.not sure I have seen a forward as dominant as Taylor in charlton colours.

Chill and wait.

Jim white said plenty today to anyone who spoke to him.
Personally I don't think anything will happen until the season is over.
Please prove me wrong.

Can you remember last season, Blackburn at home I think, same sort of thing happened. Loads of people turned up expecting it to be Roland’s last game.

Dazzler21

It'll happen before 14/07

That’s quite a claim. Certainly Taylor is everything you want from someone leading the line but I think we’ve had a few that I would say are ahead of him at this point.
