    My interpretation of Bowyer's comments is that he's more interested in getting his job done than worrying about the things he can't influence - like a potential takeover. And that's exactly how it should be.

    The opposite of Karl Robinson then

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

    3 days before the takeover is finalised.

    To be fair, he’s always said that, “I can only change what I can change” or some such wisdom.
    It’s better to be blinkered I’d imagine...
  • I keep remembering the scarves at Shrewsbury home play off.
    I have no expectation that this will happen.
    There is a sense of frenzy, but bits of clarity elude us. I am not trying not to build my hopes, because they are not building anyway.
  • I thought White said last week that his info came from the Aussie side?

    I thought White said last week that his info came from the Aussie side?

    He has said there are Aussies involved with major American money - the source is neither nationality. I can’t add anything to that.
  • I’ll be fuming if I’ve broken cover too early, bought tickets to the Accrington game today - haven’t been to The Valley for 3 years but wanted to be back as soon as Roland went!

    Bow and the players appreciate your support.

    Belgian or Moroccan?

  • I now know that Jim has a very credible source and whatever has gone on in the past this takeover bid is serious. His source is NOT someone in the Aussie camp so whatever has come from them in the past can be discounted. The fact his source isn’t RD - as I originally assumed it might be - also puts to bed the idea he is being played by RD.

    The gossip from within The Valley today is that it is NOT Gerard Murphy’s consortium involved, but that could still be a bluff.

    Expect more news early in the week although whether it will be decisive I don’t know. I am hopeful but we are still dealing with a nutter.

    When you saying we're still dealing with a nutter do you mean Roland / the potential new owner or someone else?
  • I thought White said last week that his info came from the Aussie side?

    It's entirely possible that Jim White's information came from an Aussie consortium, but not Gerard Murphy’s consortium.
  • Americans ...Could it be Philip Anschutz and the AEG people again?

    It doesn’t come from the potential buyers.

    Roland.
  • I just don't get how
    1) Jim White has got this info.
    2) he hasn't let slip who they are
    3) others haven't heard the same info or are also keeping tight lipped.

    What I'm saying is that if Motormouth Jim White knows others would know. The odds on that keeping hush would be pretty low wouldn't it?

    When you don’t know who the nutter everyone is talking about is. It’s probably you.

    Oh Im without doubt a nutter... I support Charlton

    Wait a minute! If we can confirm that Jim White's information *doesn't* come from the potential buyers, that's really big news.

    Because it means that, if we can find out who the informant is, we will have identified - for the first time, EVER - someone who isn't involved in buying the club.

    So stick that in your pipe, LdT. We'll have crossed one name off your potential buyers' list, ahead of the Fans' Forum. One down, several billion to go.

    To be clear are you saying that you have spoken directly with Jim White to learn this or a different source?

    I ask as this conflicts with James Seeds tweet that Gerard Murphy still involved.
