  • I’m very sceptical that any deal is close but you do have to wonder why AM and GM were present.

    After the game Murray told Jim White he hopes it was Roland’s last game as owner.
    Don't we all?  Doesn't mean it will be.
    I’m getting that end of February feeling from that...
  • If we don’t get sold now, we never will.

    This needs to happen fast, with players out of contracts and loans going, our squad is decimated, we basically need a whole new midfield, 2 strikers and a left back, we need to start moving fast and if this takeover takes more than 2 weeks we’re buggered.

    Just seen Rio Ferdinand talking to some bloke in a taxi. 
    It's happening 
    Well I saw an old mate who drives a black cab at Wembley, he didn’t mention Ferdinand but that must be due to a NDA. Think this must be it.

    Done deal.

    The Sectet Footballer tweeted last night that a deal to sell Charlton has been done!
    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.

    Kitson is a very "Secret Footballer" seeing as he hasn't been seen on the pitch for 5 years!

  • So many false so many false dawns. I will believe it when it happens. Really can't get excited about a takeover, with the loon in charge anything could happen.
  • I remember when someone said the sale was imminent!
  • Without the right contract offer within a week, I would advise the management team to leave at the end of June and not look back.

    I'd advise them to stay and work for free, because when Bowyer leaves it's Driesen's turn.

    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

    I remember Keith Harris telling me that he wish he could fly.
    That was Orville mate......not Keith.
    No it was Orville, Keith's lips weren't moving!

    Heard Bowyer was gonna sign but not before the Playoffs. WIOTOS



    He knows his value has just increased.

    They were present at the playoff matches against Shrewsbury last year to. Maybe they just enjoy playing at being football club owners. 
  • Hardly likely though is it. 
  • Not only has Lee Bowyer's status increased, but will the players get a bonus for promotion, and the players still under contract for next season: Taylor, Phillips etc get a wage increase ?

    Anyone ITK on current Charlton contracts ?
  • Redhenry said:
    At least one freebie will hopefully sign soon after. Again WIOTOS
    Completely new player or existing out of contract player?

    I hope they're not expecting to collect on any bonus promised by RD....
    No ambiguity on a written contract for players if promotion is achieved unlike the admin or maintenance staff where bonus targets are opaque in many companies including Duchatelet's Ownership of Charlton.
