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.
What did he say?
He said that the money would be transferred on Monday and the takeover would happen Tuesday or Wednesday.
He also said that this information did not come from Roland but from the person brokering the deal.
Their lays the problem
Why is it a problem?
because the dude is an utter fuckwit (Roland that is) and unless he has said it is sold anything can happen, the bloke is unhinged, a menace to our club and needs consigning to our history. Kept us afloat my arse...history will view him as a total failure, and I would know as I am one of those that will write it.
Assuming we are taken over the real proof of the new owners I think of whether it's a meaningful step forward is where we stand with transfers ins and outs and what happens with Bowyer. The only obvious reason for completing a deal now and at no other time is to take advantage of the transfer window.
I am as much interested in the whole of January and not just the outcome of next week.
So let's be optimistic genuine positive intent exists.
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.
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.
I’ve spoken to JW. What GM is saying is that they haven’t withdrawn their interest. That’s not the same as saying his is the party JW is talking about.
I’ve now heard twice it’s not GM, from different places, but there is no clarity on that from JW and I can’t offer any more than I have.

Thanks. An interesting development given the general level of disdain for the LDT updates of multiple interested parties..
So we have a geezer on the tele walking down Floyd Road telling whoever who confronts him that Charlton are being sold next week.
F*** me!
And people are lapping it up making white sound more like an attention whore than a decent journo
People I trust that have long-standing associations with the club all to a man (either well prepped) or just down right sensible said approach with caution we have been here before . Nothing is done till it’s done and nothing is done right now

To be fair the bloke was wearing a hat to make himself less obvious and all he was doing was engaging openly with people who spotted him and asked him questions. He knows it isn’t done yet.
