Have to hope this is Murray's last appearance at the club. Once the takeover is complete those who enabled Duchatalet need to be sent packing so everyone can start with a clean slateAllHailTheHen said:
Yeah he just walked into the directors box. Murray's sucking up to himmoutuakilla said:Any sign of the new chairman tonight?2 -
Hope they’ve got some serious dosh for January or they’ll be starting again in League One.5

Does anyone know if there's a 14 or 28 day cooling off period ?
Hopefully not.4 -

EFL are busy processing 3 other takeovers apparently (Leeds, Macclesfield and A N Other) so a bit busy. Understandably given the heat they got over Bolton and Bury earlier this season they want to do things properly.

I mean if they wanna buy us after these last few weeks of shit they already feel a bit too clingy and needy ....
they must be mad0 -

This is the only thing that hasn’t got me completely depressed. Please have it done and dusted before Christmas...7

If it’s done by Xmas it’ll give everyone at the club a massive festive boost.
You could say that the next two weeks are crucial.2 - Sponsored links:

I can image you're like one of those Taxi drivers they use on the One Show who asks loads of questions. The only difference is you don't give them a free ride if they get the answers right 😀Taxi_Lad said:Well Guys. Just dropped off Amanda Staveley and her hubby. Now on route to The Valley.Firstly she confirmed that the bid had nothing to do with her or our previous conversations (which she remembered) therefore I can take no credit 😕
they both did however Sing the praises of our guys saying they’ll be nothing but good for us. They are people who strive to succeed and will invest to ensure that. We apparently have the right people to take us back to where we should be. She knows through her Man City connections what finances are required but had no qualms about their ability to fund getting us back to the prem.Her hubby was at the Leeds game this season. Not sure if that was with our guys or not.
If she had been alone I might have questioned her more about how wealthy they are but with hubby there I didn’t want to. So I can’t confirm we are the next PSG/Man C but all sounds very positive and so far removed from Roland frickin Douchebag!!4 -
Do they work on all four takeovers at the same time, or are we in a queue?Swisdom said:EFL are busy processing 3 other takeovers apparently (Leeds, Macclesfield and A N Other) so a bit busy.

Too bloody right!! It’s quite amazing that I’ve had 2 passengers (her and Keith Harris) who are able to give a little inside knowledge on parties trying to takeover our club. You don’t pass up that type of opportunity_MrDick said:

Worried from White Cliffs Land here.
I can't help seeing parallels between Zebel take over and this take over.
We had just between Stoke at the Valley one nil.I had gone back to Qatar and from nowhere we had become the richest side in the World.Front page news there.
Our form.plummeted.
Zebel pulled out after the wheels fell off the World economy.
Now from nowhere we are going to be potentially very wealthy .Our form has gone through the floor.
Could they pull out ? Well with out getting political what happens if Corbyn wins on Thursday? Maybe billionaires might not want their dosh in the UK ?
Or maybe the chance we might go down ?
This is CAFC expect disappointment.

Our form dipped well before this and due to the massive injury crisis. What worries me is that confidence will be in tatters by the time an cavalry arrives. Big test for Bowyer whatever happens.0

On Amanda Staveley's Twitter account last night, she said to her followers that you won't believe who I had in the front of my taxi last night !12 -
Results dipped but performance levels were still high given the circumstances. Performance levels since the announcement have fallen below acceptable, I don’t think this is a coincidence, this sort of change must affect player’s heads. Like all, I hope it doesn’t affect the sale. It shouldn’t as it’s still fundamentally the same club.razil said:Our form dipped well before this and due to the massive injury crisis.

If big money is spent and six or seven new players come in where does that leave them?
As we see with Joe Ledley not always easy to get a new deal if you leave and not playing if you stay.1 - Sponsored links:

The league is yet to arrange personal interviews with the relevant individualsHardyAddick said:
Didnt Cawley say that Interviews happened last week?
there was a lot of bickering among ourselves in the changing room that night [against Huddersfield] when Reza Ghoochannejhad got sent off.
Solly's finest moment for Charlton when he told Reza he'd never understand Charlton (apparently)1 -
Interviews not done yet?HardyAddick said:0 -

That’s what I thought a bit strange. Maybe they mean not all interviews done?carly burn said:

Yeah we'll be winning games at canter when the Cavalry arrives!! - Players will be chomping at the bit to be involvedArsenetatters said:

Not to mention I'll be bridled with excitement at players not being forced to just saddle on!!0 -
Exactly, I would think Phillips, Williams and Taylor will be confident of still being wanted but very uncertain for the others which is bound to affect performance.Henry Irving said:
