    Have I missed anyone?

    Forgot all about the Rio rumour. Those were the days.
    What a thread, i wonder how long it would take to read it all from the beginning.
    Will the Belgian graffitti artist ever be known?
    That will be like the, ‘who shot JR’, of Charlton Life.
  • Such a sad way to fin ish. :'(
  • Highlight of this thread for me has to be the Sue Parkes 'it's happening' gif file.
  • Some kind of stats from the thread, if possible, would be great. Top poster, most liked etc etc

    Goodbye Big Long thread
    though I hardly read you at all
    you had the posts to carry on
    while Aussie bids all stalled

    Goodbye Big Long Thread
    from an old bloke with his bovril in a flask
    you had the grace to give us hope
    Exactly what more could we ask?

    And so on👍🏻
    Anyway, bye Takeover thread, let’s meet up in the year 3000 and laugh about it all.
    Mind how you go 👍🏻
    ( this new batch is great! 🤪)
  • So long, and thanks for all the fish. 
  • Not sure why this thread has to be killed off. Never really thought about it before but assumed old, decaying threads just ended up somewhere in the ‘...100>>’ bit of the front page. Seems this one is off to Dignitas. 

    I’ve read every post on this thread. Initially because it was the best place for informed and uninformed rumour about the takeover. The thread has been informative (who knew you could ‘cook’ Pot Noodles in the microwave!), humorous, and sometimes frustrating. I am grateful to those posters genuinely ITK who stuck their necks out to share what they knew - or thought they knew.

    I’ve spent far too much time trying to follow the twists and turns of the takeover through this thread, only to learn of the ‘done deal’ through Olly’s tweet. I immediately checked the takeover thread to verify it. The official site had crashed!

    So kill off the thread if you must. But remember that with Charlton, disappointment is never far away.

    Go ahead... you’ve got about 27 & a half hours and 2256 pages. Chop chop!
  • Is this thread going to be deleted completely or just archived ready for the next takeover?

    Will get right to it 



    (not really)
  • Shouldn’t we wait until the takeover is complete?
  • The thread was never the same since my survey was deleted without any reason or explanation,outrageous!!!
  • What is great about this thread is that, Having read this thread from start to finish , I am now a qualified real estate agent.
    I know it’s incredible, who would have thought it, with all these fish puns I’ve become an overnight expert in ichthyology ( the study of fish science).
  • It’s the elephant in the room (not a camel).

    Everyone is staring at their shoes, not wanting to be the bold one to face it, but sometimes you just need to take a deep breath, shoulders back and face the truth...

    We need to say goodbye to the Takeover Thread. 

    It feels like one of the family, an almost perminent piece of furniture in our Charlton Life lives. We’ve shared laughs, tears, tingles and a lot of fish. 

    Monday at 10pm we will close the thread for the final time. Not temporary because of something libellous or two middle age wallies are threatening a pillow fight, but for good. Ah Revior, Auf Weidesen, Goodbye.

    Lets make the last two days of the takeover thread a happy period of mirth and celebration. A nostalgic look back to the good times, the highlights, the fish puns. 

    What’s been your highlights? 
    Just sell the club and FUCK OFF.

  • Why does it have to be closed? Do we routinely close threads or is it a bit of jealousy from some ;). Well done @henryirving and all who posted!

  • Thankyou everyone for all those lost hours vainly scouring this thread to find out the latest takeover news only to have to shift through petty squabbles, irrelevant sidetracking, fallings out, group love ins, cliques, counter cliques, fish jokes and much much more.

    We got there in the end.  Adios, Adieu, bon voyage and may your God(s) go with you...
    Exactly. It wouldn’t be CL without all the bits that were nothing to do with the matter in hand. 
  • Why does it have to be closed? Do we routinely close threads or is it a bit of jealousy from some ;). Well done @henryirving and all who posted!
    Agree. Why close it? If it becomes irrelevant it will just drift down the pages like all other threads.
  • Alas poor Takeover Thread,
    I knew it, Horatio.
    • All I sea are bass-icaly cod awful puns!
    • Goodbye old friend
  • goodnight ………………………..
  • It's been emotional
  • surely it should close on feb 1st when we know what the new owners have acheived in the transfer window
  • Shouldn’t we wait until the takeover is complete?
    That’s a point, why are we closing the takeover thread down when it’s not even complete. That seems a much bigger elephant in the room. Will ESI really complete the purchase of the training ground? Did we ever get the answer from ESI If they’ve already purchased the Valley (as first stated) or yet to (as mentioned in the CAST interview)? Roland is still our landlord, he hasn’t f**ked off yet, let’s not get complacent people, we owe that to the fine folk who fought hard to get us back to the Valley. #keepthetakeoverthreadopen
  • All jokes aside, I do wonder what Muir did with his scarf
