FFS people breathhhhhhhhhhh ! a couple of months ago "the Cloob wasnt for sale" now ---- +we are for sale. +Daisey has fecked off +there is more than one possible buyer
tic toc the time is nearly over for the Belgium Ego ,the poodles, and hopefully Burger Boy----"time ticking away the dark days"
So it could be the Aussies? Or a British consortium fronted by Paul Elliott ( who doesn’t personally have the cash ) who may have connections to the Scottish lot who appeared recently at the valley Or Redbull who are quietly and secretly going through the process of buying the club in the background while we post pictures of kangaroos jumping around in Maryon Wilson park.
If it weren't for these people giving us little snippets we would have nothing to be excited about at all! This isn't a straight forward process, there will be hurdles BUT it will happen! Sooner the better sure but at the end of the day, we just want him gone so we just have to be patient! It is happening....sorry I don't have the gif!
One of the parties was at the club today. This has got at least another week to run.
Do you genuinely know who these people are RH?
Yes he is foreign and very very wealthy.
When you say wealthy do you mean Man city Billionaire wealthy where money doesnt matter.
Or is he a wealthy poor millionaire who needs to watch the pennies still
Closer to Man C
Whhhhaaaat??
Arab, Chinese or Russian money then I would guess. Nobody in the UK can afford it, unless it's the Duke of Westminster and I don't believe he will see SE7 as adding any sparkle to his current property portfolio.
Also, presumably if said moneybags potential owner really wants a London football club as a trinket then any bid the relative Aussie pauper can muster would easily be trumped.
Now I'm dreaming of us buying £100million players - cheers RH!
I'll always be uneasy about the club while the people who called for the Jimmy Seed Stand to be renamed (because I wouldn't promote the refurbishment of the sign) still have a seat at the top table.
It might sound like I'm being over-sensitive, but that was quite a difficult episode for me. My decision was based on the fact that I felt I was being used by the management team to show they were engaging with the fans, and I withdrew accordingly. Of course I'm proud of JS and want his legacy to be celebrated, and I would enjoy being a link to the club's past, but not at any expense.
You'd think a fresh start is what the club needs, but there are people around who detested the protests, and who blame 'certain people' (a phrase borrowed from a certain Facebook page) for running a campaign against an owner they clearly still feel has been unfairly wronged.
That whole episode was a disgrace Jim and was the final straw for me ever starting working with the club through the poorly thought out T20k group and led to my social media comments which forced me to resign from EKA committee. Such disrespect for you and your family should never be tolerated. I completely concur with your comments.
On another note, really hoping the deal is confirmed today as it's the day I predicted!
Thanks for your support. Some insiders at the club were very well-meaning (Olly Groome for example) and I was sorry to let them down.
Ticking away the last moments of R. Duchatelet You fritter and waste our club in an offhand way We had a march and we went to the ground in your home town All of our demos trying to to show you the way Tired of watching your shit offerings, staying home is a better way You were young and life was long, you thought you could dance all day And then one day you find four years have got behind you No one told you the point of it, you turned our club to shit

Ffs. We’re Charlton. It won’t happen will it.
Probably not, but we're stuck between a cushion and a soft place. Aussie sounds good, this other lot sound good.
Blimey it keeps changing and I’ve been immersing myself in Aussie culture. I even tried Aussie foreplay, I should have realized it wasn’t a good idea when as soon as I uttered the words “brace yourself Sheila’ she clobbered me with her handbag. Probably didn’t help playing Waltzing Matilda as mood music. Role on the takeover
Sorry to put a downer on all your enthusiasm but am I the only one who is still a bit apprehensive to the news announced yesterday?
Apart form 3 or 4 tweeted messages suggesting we have a "done deal" we have nothing else to go on apart from what we have always had in this thread i.e. speculation, jokes and piss taking.
Surely if a deal was "done" yesterday, by that I mean a hand shake between all parties then we would have heard more. As with all deals like this nobody is interested when the lawyers get the paperwork signed, all we what we want to see is the new owner with a Charlton scarf round his neck.
I am sure a lot of us have heard of, or experienced the sale of a house falling through on the day the new buyer was supposed to move in or a business deal collapsing at the last minute.
I get the feeling we are not as close as some people think and looking at the excitement those tweets have generated on here some people seem to be getting ahead of themselves.
I hope I am way off the mark and scarfy is paraded soon, however as a boycotter I refuse to consider what game I will be attending next until the sale of the club is signed, sealed and the new owner has revealed him/herself.
In any event the FL have to approve the deal. You could argue it isn't done until that has happened but what I am taking about is the point at which a buyer and seller reach agreement. We have not been here before.
One insurance against the deal failing to reach completion is that there are clearly two potential buyers here and consequently I don't think there's much chance of both walking away/falling through.
Fascinating: who's actually buying the club, or are you not in a position to say as usual?
I’m not saying because I am not 100 per cent confident of the answer. The Australian camp leaks. One source yesterday was from that side. The other came from the legal process - they are consequently very well placed to know when they say it’s a “done deal”, but they have never been willing to elaborate on the identity of the interested parties.
The coincidence of the two, entirely independent of each other, within hours, points to the Australians, but because the Aussie side have jumped the gun before I am still cautious about saying it is them. And I still believe the other party is about.
Right, so you don't know.
Rick's a proper newspaperman/editor. 'Done Deal' is a great headline. His sources are excellent. It's almost certain to be true, but not confirmed. Only a really rubbish newspaper editor wouldn't put 'Done Deal' on the front page.
So Andrew Muir has agreed a price with payments to be spread over time depending on promotions etc. The other party ( Man City rich) surely would seal the deal by offering the same money but in one lump sum! Makes sense to me anyway!

Is it the pope?
Okay, I can wait a bit longer.
This thread is playing havoc with my hornimones !

I've certainly always found it to be true.
