    Many congrats to @CafcSCP !
    Can’t wait to get down the Valley tomorrow!!
    Win lose or draw, We’ve got our Charlton back!!
    Not sure where you sit, but in theory I could present you with your prize. In Crossbars?
    Sounds good to me! I’d be happy just to meet the legend that is James seed.
    Unfortunately you'll just get me :-(

    Could meet at half time? 
    And would you like The Jimmy Seed Story, or Soccer From the Inside?

  • Is Twoshits getting £60m just the money he lent us being paid off or does he get £60m plus the money he lent us?
  • Thanks for posting the Standard article @stoneroses19. I'm the spokesperson- didn't request anonymity but, hey, who cares!

    Could be under new ownership before the end of 2019!!
    How long does it take the EFL to bloody approve the damn thing, why do they need more than a month to do that

    Because they ain't fit for purpose.

    I would imagine it would be done well before Christmas and New Year so probably not more than a month but a few weeks absolute max though I agree it will be a frustrating time waiting if we have to wait more than a week at most IMO.

    Would be happy if it gets announced on the pitch before the Hull game on Friday 13th Dec but honestly just so long as it gets done and announced before the January window opens there's not much else different the new owners can do anyway between now and then.
  • Wrote on the pre-match thread early this morning that fans needed to get behind the team more than ever. Then came the great news. Now The Valley is going to be rocking. Can't wait.

    You? I assume you’re in the covered end!

    Yes I am. I like the view behind the goal, and it's also where my dad stood, before he met my mum.
    Perhaps I could meet you before the game at the Bartram statue, or on Bartrams? I'll DM you my mobile number.

    I have actually got a copy of Soccer from the Inside that was given to my mum to pass on to me by Eddie Firmani, back in the 60's. My version of the other one says The Sportsmans Book Club 1958 - was that the original version or did the SBC just cover it?

    They might perhaps declare their intent to extend some contracts, especially Taylor's before the window opens?
  • PWR. Don’t you just know a Charlton fan is going to win the euro millions jackpot tonight and post tomorrow they could have bought the club if it was still for sale
  • Does anyone know how much they can spend to stay within financial fair play. Can they sell themselves the Valley and training ground like Derby and cheat?

    The first thing East Street Investments are looking to do when they take control (the takeover needs EFL approval) is secure Lee Bowyer on an extended contract. And the second thing....is to do the same with Lyle Taylor.

    This is turning out to be a Disney like Fairytale classic.

    Just keep everything crossed that there's no wicked stepmother/father to spoil the plot.

    Keep asking Mr F to pinch me.....after I wake him up.

    He's ever been so excited ! :-)
    Hopefully Mr F's good for more than the 30s that's all @ricky_otto can manage.

    The original publisher was Phoenix Sports Books (1957).

    Have to believe it now makes us debt free, except for possibly the loans to directors. Given our low losses this year, we suddenly have one of the best financial statements in England. And now with the money to back us in a way few clubs have.

    That's the thing, we dont know much about the deal. So much was mentioned about what RD wanted, the existing directors loans, and what about the deal with Footscray Rugby club and Training Ground rebuild.

    Once they have their foot in the door I am sure it will al become clearer.

    It is when, not if. I really don't think they would have announced it on the official site if they hadn't already been tipped off by the EFL that it will go through on the nod.
    Agreed, I wasn't disputing if it would go through it does appear when as you say. My point was whether its days or a couple of weeks away it won't make much difference what they can do.

    Someone mentioned contracts but i'm sure these will happen in the background even before the deal is announced and a few days or a couple of weeks shouldn't make any difference to this.

    One thing i'm really looking forward to under new owners are contract negotiations not being dragged out forever! I get the vibe under these owners new contracts for Bowyer and Taylor will be agreed quickly.
  • third tier my arse. 
  • TTF for that.

    I think it highly unlikely that our courageous EFL will create a diplomatic incident by insulting a Royal Family.
