  • Out of the blue from a mate got a message saying, unnamed on here , trying to buy us but funnily enough our owner being difficult .

    I looked up the mob who it could be and it makes no sense ...
    cos they currently own a club but It may be the people who previously owned the business who sold it to them who may be looking to buy us

    What a load of shit

    Still just a reminder our owner is a back and front (is that allowed )

    I blame these new people for delaying the sale and their lack of transparency.

    I also blame Oah Aah for getting people's hopes up. If it's not done in 72 hours as he promised it was all lies and spin from Roland.

    I also blame CARD for no particular reason
    If there’s anybody to blame then blame me.

    While the blame game is taking place can I take the blame for my Aunt Flo from Bermondsey who on Mon, Wed and Friday afternoon does readings with Tarot cards at the end of the pier in Surrey quays.

    She is a daft old bat who I haven't spoken to since she took me to a Millwall v Hull city game when I said I wanted to see Lions and Tigers. Still at least I saw 11 clowns even if i didnt see Billy Smart. When you are only 8 these events are very damaging.

    After we did the double against the spanners when old big nose was manager, no not Pardew but Mick MaCarthy,
    You remember the season when they had 2 Russians on mega money who did the pub crawl down the old Kent road after training.

    My Aunt Flo was so irate she put a curse on "The house of Charlton " and said you will never beat the spanners again.

    23 years and counting.

    Wow!!!!!!! Never been itk til now !! Just had a 15 min conversation with Keith Harris in my cab.
    As open as he could be. Main points were;

    RD very difficult man to deal with. Obstinate and refusing to put any more money in

    Price agreed but structure of payment (Gomez / Lookman sell ons etc)

    Aussies still include Andrew Muir as main consortium member

    Aussies will be good for us if they can get it over the line

    No other bidders as far as he’s aware

    LdT is a nice guy but is RDs man and is working on his behalf hence the comment re the Aussies having some explaining to do when it’s all over is bollox. All down to RD and his stubbornness

    (dont shoot the messenger) he said it’s very close. He even hinted at the dreaded “2 weeks”

    Aussies not worried about timing of purchase I.e. they wouldn’t wait til end of season just cos transfer window closed

    Everything seems in line with as per @JamesSeed has reported. He now tops my itk list of credibility

    What has @JamesSeed reported? Is it a recent update?

    Nothing recently. Just the general line of his reports from GM.
    Seems GM and KH are singing from the same sheet

    This takeover talk is like Brexit talk, booooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnng.

    As soon as it 'finally' happens then I will celebrate. Jim White for me was the final straw when I got excited when he announced takeover happening soon but that was a load of old pony!

    Yep. Far too much horsing around

    He’s saying precisely what GM always said, before the news blackout. Good to have it confirmed.
    I think Airman said Harris was the broker?

    thanks @Taxi_Lad

    The bit in bold sounds suspiciously like "third-party ownership" if RD wants to retain a financial stake in these players after he sells the club? would it be worth asking the FA if this is allowed?
  • Thanks for sharing @Taxi_Lad

    Interesting that I was guessing Harris was involved and seems he is.

    So maybe sticking point is sell on fees. Greedy bastard Roland, you've sold them once but want more.

    Of course, Harris will tell it from his point of view so isn't unbiased but if nothing else should be good for another 20 pages.

    As I said RD is determined to get all his money back by hook or crook.

    No, this is a different Keith Harris. Allegedly.

    Sounds like you're out of the loop buddy.

    Keith Harris chirps like a canary when asked.
    You've heard nothing for ages.

    Need to up your game.
  • Also, this is nicely deniable for Harris.

    Not doubting taxi lad at all but if LDT questions him on it be can say it never happened but the story is out there.

    And maybe that is what the Aussies want.

    WIOTOS

    PS interesting that KH doesn't think there are any other bids?

    Fortunately I don’t have a game, unless you include backgammon.
  • Matches up with what Fanny said a few weeks ago too.
  • Out of the blue from a mate got a message saying, unnamed on here , trying to buy us but funnily enough our owner being difficult .

    I looked up the mob who it could be and it makes no sense ...
    cos they currently own a club but It may be the people who previously owned the business who sold it to them who may be looking to buy us

    What a load of shit

    Still just a reminder our owner is a back and front (is that allowed )

    I also blame CARD for no particular reason
    Corbyns got away with this one then Henry ?

    His AS and other misdeeds are real and not for joking about. Also not for main board due to chunes

    If Andrew Muir is still involved, I presume he said he wasn't, to try and reduce/stop any media questions put to him.

    He got away with it with that bloke now on loan at palarse, but maybe different rules abroad?

    Again though, every month of loses eats away at those fees.

    Roll on the next FF.
