Pleased that the fans are thought about too.

Not unreasonable that the employees are told first, some of whom may be jobless as a result of new owners taking over.

Indeed, Karl will be pleased.

Awaiting confirmation now as to whether I should be excited or just whelmed!

This thread will be top of the page soon.
Let's hope it stays there and fuckface is finely going

There are exceptions in my business morality - Tony the burger man can just f*ck off.

Hmm. It's been said many times, but worried he is selling to the less cash rich Oz lot in order to keep the ground and recoup his lost money in some long term scheme.

Being Charlton of course it will be the less than spectacular option but anything to see the back of Captain Haddock the Belgian oxygen thief...

The skint Aussies were sniffing around months ago - don't think they're at all involved any longer.

Muir the newer Aussie has plenty of cash. It's whether a relatively rich owner spends it sensibly as we've experienced with Roland...

Got a good feeling about this.
February 2018 will see the back of the old cnut

I think @ElfsborgAddick will still carry on going mate.

I’m still hearing it’s the Scottish but we will see.

Anna_Kissed

My judgement is reserved until such time as I know the detail. Should it transpire that Duchatelet retains ownership of The Valley, CAFC will remain cast in shadow. If he sells both club and ground, I forecast a double rainbow. Let's hope that long spells of warm sunshine follow.

"Do I not like that...."

Maybe it's a Scots/Oz dreamteam?

It’s a disgrace the way threads get derailed with real news. #W@nkers.

That would be terrible, I will drive that youngster to the Valley gates and together we will wave him off.

Likewise, I wouldn't normally want to see anyone out of work. But Ive made an exception this time.

swords_alive

Its not Muir v Muir is it, nor is it rich Aussie's v poor Aussie's. We have two newly reported details today; that is that Murray has told staff it will likely happen in February, and Airman tells us it's likely to be an Aussie consortium.

Fully expect these points to get lost in lots of other nonsense but if we could stay within the auspices of these details only it would help keep the focus of the thread. Could we also ignore any johnny-come-latelys to this thread who haven't bothered staying with it from way back and then ask dumb questions about value after 350+ plus pages, and set off that whole shitfest again. Thank you.

Bollocks to that @T_C_E Take the dogs to give him a proper send off

Ps - Joke for any Plod still watching out for Tone

ShootersHillGuru

Could the two Scots be working for Muir ?

ForeverAddickted

Doesnt seem to be much different to what we already knew other than what Airman says.. Murray said to the Trust prior to the Walsall game that the deal was likely to be complete in February so seems to be on time
