can you say anymore on what you're hearing from the Aussies @JamesSeed

Well I’m frustrated by how long it’s taking, but it sounds like technical stuff to do with shifting money and proof of funds around. Disadvantage of consortia possibly. 
I still expect Dalman to nip in any day now. 

How can there still be an issue with proof of funds after all this time?

There's one pretty obvious reason.

No one with money stays at the Clarendon

No it makes perfect sense to stay there, you can catch the 380 outside and get to Charlton Church Lane.

And how would Basey know anything? He's not been involved with the club for an age. Nor does he know anyone who would know anything 

Odd seeing as he was on the bench at Wembley

Unbelievable level of ignorance.

The Red Robin

I had Dalman down as more of a Holiday Inn Express man on the soon to be Red Bull Peninsula.

Dalman at the Clarendon.  Hilarious.

He works for the club pal.

I know Grant Basey works at the club; I meant the Liam guy who actually posted.

Are are you telling me he's an employee too?

Yes, I do ..... centre half on loan from Colchester, late 60s?

Remember him scoring with a powerful header, maybe on his debut?

Steve Dowman played in the early eighties unless there's a different one.

1760, death of King George II, he is succeeded by his grandson who becomes George III.

Another random Facebook rumour...

He must be well pissed off that he can’t get a room at the Antigallican any more.

He did, around 1984 and a friggin liability.

Having seen some of this guys usual stuff on facebook over the years, there's no way he knows anything.

I would never say that about you, I did not think your name was Nicky

Just called the Clarendon and the bloke on the phone told me that the Aussies have just submitted their paperwork to the EFL... make of that what you will but don't shoot the messenger.

Sure we have a poster on here who uses that name.

Exactly. He's definitely there and in fact a mate of mine saw his car parked out the front. A sticker in the window said quite clearly 'MD On Call'.

I'm here all week.

Anyone else called the Clarendon and heard any tidbits of news?

thenewbie

I'm going to leave my earlier comment exactly as it is cos I deserve every bit of that. I somehow managed to get Basey confused with someone else entirely but can't for the life of me think who I thought was meant.

My sole defence is working a night shift and coming straight home to looking after a baby on my own. But no excuse: that was just plain stupid. Have at me. I deserve it.
