Not seen mention of any sightings of LdT at Wembley. Somehow unsurprising - and even fitting - that The Rat was represented in his absence by Mowgli.
Two things.....do you/we know for sure he wasn’t there........I’m not saying was. Secondly who the f is Mowgli?
1) I think if The Rat was there, someone would have noticed - unless he came wearing a burka!
2) Mowgli = Driesen. Given that name from the fright of a hairdo he was sporting when he first showed up at Sparrows in 2014, before we knew who he is. (Put Mowgli into the search box, and you should find plenty of references and some pictures)
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 ;-)
They weren’t in the royal box. There are multiple claims they were in hospitality, including a good friend of mine who was in there and is adamant they had a table of five, Muir was present, and that Murray went and spoke to them. He might be wrong but that’s what he believes he saw.
I was told they were, but hospitality or Royal Box doesn't matter; the fact is they've come an awfully long way to see a football match. Muir in particular wouldn't do that unless something was afoot, you'd think.
Personally I'd now rather someone else bought the club (not Ashley), because it'd be a lot less stressful ;-)
Absolutely certain that Muir’s interest has continued. The question has been whether there is a deal he can be part of, given he hasn’t wanted to buy it all.
Let’s hope something’s happened in the last few weeks or months that would account for why Muir wanted, or even needed, to be there with Murphy. Gerard on his own would be encouraging, but much more so with Muir in attendance. I wouldn’t think he would have come if they were still scrabbling around for partners etc.
Probably a bigger worry than Dreisen grabbing things that don't belong to him. Even the Oystons might have thought about giving Boweyer a new contract as a priority on monday morning. And Bow is off on holiday today? Not good.
i disagree - the silence all points to a takeover to me - if bowyer announced he'd sat down with rd today and sorted out his future, wouldn't that indicate that rd was staying?
Yes, I’m quite sure anyone taking over the club would want to be part of that contract deal.

@JamesSeed why not just give him a call and asked what’s happening. I’m sure you could invite him round for dinner or a cuppa?

He’s made a vow of silence re all takeover related matters. I think he got grief over spilling the beans to me all those months ago.

I like the sound of this. Any chance you can get some feedback on what the Aussies thought of the occasion and in particular the fans' performance?
Totally ruined my Monday. Who let him get his hands on the trophy? Even Simon Jordan deserves it more than him! (Oh, wait a minute, in my anger maybe I have gone just a little over the top?)
No he hasn’t you big fibber!!......,, hes ruined your Tuesday 😜
Blimey, you're right-totally brain dead, still buzzing, back at work assumed it was a Monday. I need a beer!

No, we cannot wait a "few months" we need this sorted now, we need players and manager contracts sorted now. There is literally no time to lose if we want a successful season next year.

If you read my post ‘I said I hope something has happened in the past few weeks or months’, not that have to wait a few months. It needs to be done ASAP, but I don’t think Roland cares.
If the Aussies are still interested then it has to happen soon. They have been sniffing for two fecking years. If they aren’t ready to rock after what happened on Sunday then I don’t see them ever being ready.

Based on nothing but a gut feeling, I have a feeling in my water that the takeover is about to go through. On Sunday there was a message that was nothing like the what the RAT comes out with in congratulating Bowyer, the team and fans etc and about being back where we belong. That was so unlike Roland and not in broken English. Who wrote that on his behalf as he hates us fans? Was that Murray's doing and Roland just asked them to get on with it.. Then Murray comes out the woodwork with "This is hopefully Roland's last game but remember he has put a lot of money in to the club to keep it going". Just before the play off semi final and final Bowyer himself said he was certain that he would sign the contract but needed things ironing out? I also wonder if Bows is being economical with the truth. He says that he spoke to Roland leading up to the final and wishing him good luck. However, now says that he has not heard from him about a contract (which he received in email form). I can't help think that with us winning promotion that is the turning point in the club and a deal can now be struck to purchase the club. This is why nothing has been done or said about any contracts, players, Manager etc is because Roland has now finished with the club. The contracts run out on 30th June? Why would Roland get involved in contracts if he is not going to be here any longer? Maybe it is a case that new owners will sit with Bows and co between now and when takeover goes through and discuss budgets for next season etc. Maybe I am being over optimistic but feel the Aussies would not have paid over the odds for a league one club but pay a for the same price (whatever) they agreed with RD over a year ago.

Ok. I’ve already pointed out that we outsold Sunderland.

Mate, I think the consensus is that it's Roland f*ecking around. But we'll find out eventually.

Don't you just love the guy? Eloquent and prepared to say it like it is. As you rightly say, already a Charlton 'legend'.
The guy is class - on and off the pitch.
And he's one of our own
