Not had a pot noodle for years but had one last week for lunch, sausage casserole, disgusting.
There's a vegan version called Not Poodle.
Anyway, Murray implies that February might now be more important to Roland than the purchaser(s). (Other than as a relaunch.) That seems short-sighted to me. Next season's ticket sales seem important. If I was buying the club (I'm not) I'd want to get it done asap. The relaunch is huge: not an afterthought.
I'd be offering cheapo "last five matches" or whatever "Jackson's Five" style mini-season tickets with the promise of retaining those seats for next season's season tickets. I'd also be offering huge discounts to lapsed (boycotting) season ticket holders.
And doubling the price to anyone who supported the regime by buying tickets during the Roland years (only joking).
Time is running out for this sort of initiative to be put in place and marketed.
Pot noodles are okay but there’s always that residue on the bottom where the hot water hasn’t seeped all the way through quickly enough to convert it from dry to wet and edible
This may not be an issue if you use a microwave.
You are meant to stir it.
I don’t think there is anyone on this site who doesn’t know how to stir it good and proper.
RM has always struck me as an optimist, publicly at least, which is no bad thing as the public face of a company.
He's also very experienced, and good, at telling people what they want to hear.
That's not to say that he's lying in anyway. In any case what he says tally's with other sources. But clearly, a deals not been done, a final price and/ or schedule of payments/ contingent payments not agreed.
Until that happens it's no deal. And as Murray says, there is now no urgency for the buyer.
The best news, imho, is that it is a lock, stock and barrel deal so we can drop the conspiracy theories.

From what I’ve heard it’s further forward than that.

In what way?
Because if all that has been agreed then what is holding it up?
“I have to sign a non-disclosure agreement so that means I can’t reveal names or certain other information.
“As far as I know, and I’m not kept in touch blow by blow, we still have two interested parties, I still believe one interested party is far closer to doing a deal because I think they are very close on price with Roland.
“I think the price now is not going to hold up the deal which has got to be good news.”
When asked if he knew how much the bid was Murray explained he did know but wasn’t allowed to say.
On timing Murray said that he still felt February was the most likely month
“As far as timing is concerned, I did say to our staff down at the training ground that I hoped or thought February was the most likely month. As typically happens, once the transfer window is closed we have an interesting situation. Charlton and probably most clubs in this division, lose a substantial amount of money each month, so the onus is on Roland to do a deal as soon as possible but the onus isn’t so much on the buyer because they can’t influence the club too much other than relaunching it. January ending does remove one obvious good point to get involved.”
When asked if Roland Duchatelet would keep the ground and training ground
“I heard this thing that Roland was keeping The Valley and selling the club, no, not that I’m aware.
“To my knowledge this (the sale) would be lock, stock and barrel.
“The training ground for any buyer is quite key as well. They realise that for a club like us the academy is essential and I think Jason (Morgan, chair of the Charlton Athletic Community Trust) is aware that the Trust is very much one of the assets which they (potential buyers) feel is linked to Charlton and can be expanded even further than it has been already.”
When asked if the new owners would consider a move away from The Valley
“From the talks I’ve had it has never once been even mentioned.”
Murray added he would look to ensure fans remain updated during the process.

You can stick your bite sized thread up your arse
Encouraging news just when we needed it @AFKABartram. Thanks!
Just one thought..
If price is no longer a factor in holding up the deal I wonder what is?Made me think that this could bedone and dusted before the 21 Feb date many of you have branded about.

Losing track here...are we still talking Pot Noodles??
I can't see Kashi signing a new contract unless we're promoted anyway, does he really want to play in the 3rd division next season?
Yeah I thought the same... the promotion push is hindering Contract talks for me... not the Takeover
“He’s not looking to leave,” said Robinson. “He said to me ‘gaffer – let’s get promoted, let’s push to try and achieve our goals and then we’ll have a chat in the summer’.
i.e. the "He's not looking to leave" bit is contradicted by the rest of highlighted section... He's not looking to leave IF we get promoted - If we dont then he'll be the first one out the door in the summer I reckon, thats why he wants to wait till then before signing something
Fuck sake, Robinson just can't help himself with little soundbites can he?
I would bet my last penny that Kashi absolutely did not say that.

Don’t know, perhaps the buyer is now approaching the ex-directors to see if that can be tidied up too, but agreement has been reached with RD.

I think Murray’s comments must be pretty close to the truth. He’s going to look very foolish if what he’s told the staff, Trust and Fans Forum is too way off the mark.
Probably the first time I’ve even considered the possibility that this may well come to some form of an end.
I feel strange. Been hopefully and avidly following all this stuff day by day but now have reached the tipping point of not giving a chite. I suppose it is because the transfer window has shut.

Which he hasn't.

Getting closer I feel.
What I am trying to say that he stated the he "has" to sign one which is different to having "Signed" one.
I would bet my last penny that Kashi absolutely did not say that.
Fingers crossed
More favouritism.
Aussie Muir and his mega, super, crazy rich lot I hope.
