I hope someone told all 3 to do one. Aussies only turn up to play off games. Worse than my little brother....... at least he comes over for a couple of regular games in a season as well.
why would you pay him say 10m on promotion if you can wait until we are promoted and pay a more realistic price. Personally I’m happy the Aussies are still hanging around. Shows they are serious about buying the Club but not willing to pay an unrealistic price for it. Others have walked never to be seen or heard from again.
That wouldn't necessarily make them bad investors though?

I think it may even be worth stroking Roland's ego and just gently push him towards getting the sale done.
Of course, it would just be a complete lie.
We want new owners. Roland wants rid of us.
An agreement has to be made and it is in his hands to do so.
I believe a takeover is now a lot more likely.
Let's be positive and let's stay positive.
Don't get angry and or frustrated.
We have interested parties and it would be fantastic if (as long as they are fully confirmed to be fit and proper) we have new owners before next season starts.
We would then 100% have our club back and really start looking forward to a very bright future again. 🙂
Only want to add to what others have said, that any prospective owners will have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to have recognised the fantastic potential in our club following the unbelievable season the management and their players have achieved against all the odds.
A new owner would have heard the respected SCP's words pitchside after the match, when he stated that this squad should be kept together, albeit with the addition of a few players to add strength & depth, under our Lee. There is indeed something VERY special in this group of lads that didn't need a £4k striker to win them promotion.
For that to happen, the ownership would need to change almost immediately IMO so that all concerned may plan accordingly in the close season, well before pre season training etc begins.
And, most importantly, to offer substantial new contracts to Bow & Jacko first. Then, with respectable contract offers, others, maybe not all, will follow.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.....
In addition, who could fail to be impressed in both semi final legs but primarily yesterday by the passionate support for this club and the manner in which every last one of those present in the "red end" gave their all for their team. This MUST not be allowed to fragment again as it has under RD's stewardship. We were definitely the 12th "man" , out singing the mighty Mackems and coming together as one, putting aside any past conflicting views as to the right way to support/not support in this challenging era for the club.
And to see SO many kids in their Charlton shirts, singing their hearts out and loving every minute of this special day brought a lump to my throat. We have to keep these young 'uns on board if at all possible.
We may , as yet not completely have our club back....
But the Charlton family as a whole HAS returned.
All we need now is someone with vision, ambition & the ability to recognise the potential of our famous football club.
Still amazed that the Aussies are still there. They either have the money or they don't, what have they been waiting all year for?
The price to come down to a realistic level, perhaps.
A guess is that a price may have been agreed, predicated on the club being promoted to the Championship, and Roland wouldn’t reduce it while we were in League One. And that feeling strengthened when I figured that Gerard was coming to the match.
Sorry but I think if it was a done deal we would have heard it from a few more sources than just the secret footballer. I’m sure there are interested parties but there has been for 2 years.
If the Aussies don’t follow up now they never will. Any wavering investors will be persuaded right now. Otherwise I guess they still need to find others to stump up cash.

Agreed it's now or never for The Aussies the way I see it. They've had over 12 months officially to sort out a price and deal and if League One was the hurdle then it's now gone and now is the time to deal.
The Secret Footballer is believed to be Dave Kitson.
How the fuck would Dave Kitson know about our takeover when people on here with good connections to the club don't know.
Piss weak drivel from a low rent onanist (secret hasbeen) Anybody giving this airtime needs a checkup from the neck up or for our younger readers Don’t Feed The Troll
Any actual or FFS imminent new owner would have been all over yesterday lapping up the glad tidings, kissing babies and glad handing we faithful
as as you were, back to work Tuesday, nothing to see here
In Roland’s own statement when he asked the league to buy CAFC, he talked about the financial black hole that is The Championship. I suspect he sees the situation he is in and this will lead to a sale soon, because.... 1. The best price he will ever get is right now 2. He knows that he will lose even more money per season in this division and has said so 3. If he pockets the extra turnover then we go down and he loses the higher valuation I suspect he will suck it up and sell before the new 2019-20 season begins. It would be financial suicide not to. I think he is just barely not that dumb.
I remember Keith Harris telling me that promotion was not a factor in whether the Aussies bought us or not, so not sure if winning yesterday changes anything. That said, I found it odd that the spectre of RDs ownership seemed to be forgotten/ignored when players and pundits talked about our prospects in the Championship. Particularly SCP going on about keeping the squad together, adding quality, bigger budgets etc. He knows full well that most of that is extremely unlikely under the Belgian loony
Based on nothing other than a hunch, I think it's a done deal. Maybe even this week.
Bowyer said something that made me think it has been, as did the tone of some of the comms from the club. It sounds like a badly kept secret.
Olly and George weren’t aware that GM and AM were in the Royal Box, and I doubt they were keeping anything under their hat (s) as of half an hour after the match. But you never know ;-)

Today there’s an article on terms being agreed for Newcastle’s takeover.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/05/27/sheikh-khaled-releases-statement-newcastle-takeover-have-agreed/
If this goes through I guess we’ll be seeing more rumours of Mike Ashley buying us.
