Interesting read. I would not necessary assume on Murray’s involvement with the Aussie group from that as the Aussie group seems to have changed significantly in 18 months and it wasn’t expressed what actually was the purpose of that meeting.
Equally not writing it off though.
99% sure he wasn’t involved with GM group, not as part of consortium at least.
Possibly offered to ‘help’ the negotiations, possibly in the hope of a continuing role at the club. [My speculation only].
Am I missing something? The article didn't really confirm that Murray was involved in the bid. Just said he went round to Whitehands place with the Aussies.
So effectively reps for the buyer and seller approaching those owed.
I'm always one of the first to jump down muddled Murray's throat but would air on the side of caution in this circumstance.
White not Whitehand. Agree your interpretation might be reasonable, but in October 2017 the board’s position was that the club wasn't for sale. As per the Robinson article, the “member of the board” denied the story. That was always a peculiar construction if he meant the chief executive or Roland. Why not just name them?
If that’s true, I wonder at which stage he became involved. Oct ‘17 or before?
Unlikely to have been before as he was 'involved' elsewhere.
Gardikiotis? This goes back to the issue of the "two Australians bids". I could never connect Gardikiotis to Murphy/Muir, other than overlap of nationality. If Murray was working with Gardikiotis and there were indeed two separate approaches here, there would have been a conflict of interest in him representing the club with Murphy/Muir, wouldn't there?
All the world’s a stage, and all the Charlton Life men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man Richard Murray, in his time plays many parts.

Roland Duchatelet and Richard Murray if you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?

@Airman Brown have we now had your various sources on the takeover, that you were expecting?
If we have they are an ex-director saying that, as we all know, Roland is a snake and has no ambition for the cub and all rumours of an imminent sale were grossly exaggerated and that an actual offer may have been made by an ex-banker.

These are the two third-party stories I knew about when I tweeted yesterday.

All's well That Ends Well (let's bloody hope so)
To sell or not to sell that is the question
That is the 30 £million question, Or was it 35 £million question, Or was it 70 £million question ?
Amazes me how people don't want to believe what a former director has to say on the matter, has given a full and frank interview, but there are people that believe what is reported in the Mail, Standard from a "source". It has been stated for sometime by NLA all what was said within the article and was totally dismissed by some on here. NLA has said that there is no deal and has always stood by it and has been proved right and this has just reinforced his posts.

That’s hardly a coincidence, is it? But I have also been in contact with David White today and he is quite clear he is giving opinions. He isn’t involved in the way that people briefing the papers are. Doesn’t make the latter definitive or mean DW is wrong but the former directors aren’t as close to the process.
DW gave an opinion so how can he be wrong? It's an opinion
An opinion can be factually wrong. He could be wrong that RD didn't replace KAG because he doesn't want promotion; he could be wrong about the price. It's still a valid opinion.

Wait till the next bombshell hits
Viva the takeover thread.

Or was it 35 £million question,
Or was it 70 £million question ?
When you spoke to Dave did he clarify the point about Murray being part of the Aussie consortium?
If only DW posted on here.
Yesterday you hinted that there was more information to come today. Is that still the case or is that it for the time being ? TIA
