  • So @Airman Brown , if you were a betting man what odds would you put on a Charlton takeover in the next month?
    Interesting question. I’d put it at about 2/1 against, but that’s only because RD is bonkers.
    He clearly hates us, and can't bear the thought of losing money because of us. There is method in his madness.
  •  Someone has posted a picture of Alan Curbishley at Wembley at the weekend. The “middle eastern “when he is definitely Ravi Patel from the club.

     Sorry to piss on your cornflakes 
  • If he doesn’t sell in the next three weeks all the elation from promotion is gone for me, it will be another season of misery.

    Genuine watershed. 
  • Gonna happen today ! 

  • Can’t be announced yet but I’ll give you a clue...

    New sponsor is a popular energy drink

    New catering is from a company known for their microwave noodles
    I see Carabao ads are popping up on the club website...

    Full radio silence from Mr Murphy. 
    Obviously that means the sale is imminent.
    Should all be wrapped up by the weekend ;-)
    It’s  happening!
  • Said many months that we will only be sold if one of 2 things happens:

    1. RD lowers his asking price.
    2. RD dies.

    I'm pretty sure number 2 hasn't happened, so does anyone have any info that number 1 has?

    Do we as fans get a choice? Im asking for a friend, hes a hitman and works been a bit quiet lately. :)
  • Only seen a hoopoe twice in my life, the first time was just before RD took over, and then  I see one yesterday. If that ain't cast iron tell tail sign, I'd like to know what is...

    "2 weeks max", "no ifs, no buts", "it IS happening".

    There's a rumour that it's dipped under£40m, but who knows.

    If that's true I believe we will be sold. 
    Less than £40 million for a championship club is reasonable. 
    As a rough guide, Wolves were bought by Fosun for 45m a couple of years back.

    Aston villa were bought for 62m by Xia. Not sure how much he then sold his majority stake (55%) for though, i think it was about 30m.

    Dave Whelan sold Wigan for 22m last year.

    Theres nothing reasonable with Roland
  • It’s a bit like buying a house, the headline figure looks tempting at £400k but then the owner insists on being paid an extra £50k when you put your £150k extension on and the house goes up in value.

    Oh and the owner is keen to make sure that if any of the fixtures and fittings he flogged off on the cheap turn out to be undiscovered masters later, he wants any money for them too.

    It was a DM on Twitter from someone who has a contact, but not always reliable (the Indian investors for example?). He said a price has been agreed, but wouldn’t say how much, ‘to protect his source’, but said it was under £40m. 
    Of course it could all be nonsense. Wouldn’t be the first time!
    But after Sunday’s euphoric victory, it would top off a great season.

    Knowing our luck, it’ll be the company that sells energy drinks in Cost Cutter for £0.39p  :(

    Hints of two Middle Eastern guys with Curbs at Wembley . Anything on that ?
    I'm fairly sure that Ravi was sitting next to Curbs, might be wrong.
    We were in row 1 of Block 552 right above the box where the trophy was presented. I only spotted Curbs standing next to one young guy of potentially Middle Eastern appearance when I looked down at the end of the game. Didn't see Ravi, so guess he must have moved off and assume he may have been the second referred to above.



    Were you the one's told to get down from the ledge by security after the winning goal went in?
  • If I had the money I would pay £35M tops.

    Depends does that include the 10m needed to pay off old directors and get a clean slate?

    It's only £7m I thought Rosie but a good point nevertheless  ;).
