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
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
Probably wasn't a handbag. More likely an axe handle.
And to bring everyone back down to earth a little look at some of the final quotes on this old thread. @SE7toSG3 , I particularly smiled at yours on the last page!
Olympic Stadium - we’re going to share with West Ham
Understand this is a done deal with a late condition inserted by a Mr B Johnson stating ' West Ham receive 100% rights to charge a Toll on the Blackwall tunnel set at a level of their choosing, with Greenwich Council to pay for Policing, cleaning, maintenance of said tunnel. One objection raised by Mr Prague Addict.
Spoke to a u18 player yesterday who I met on the bus. Said a group of Chinese people had been shown around SL just before Christmas. Said he didn't know any more though as they're not kept informed.
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.
Appreciate you posting what you know, but I might be being a bit slow here. I don’t see how you can confidently believe a deal has been ‘done’ and then at the same time believe another party could still be in play? In which case, it’s not ‘done’ and a rival bid could still be made and accepted.
Or am I reading this incorrectly?
From experience I trust the legal source, but I am more wary of the one from the Aussie camp. So one could be right and the other wrong. It’s less likely both are wrong.
Ultimately, things can change. For example I think something RM said to the FF on Wednesday night was already wrong by the time he said it, but I doubt if he knew that.
Glad I didn’t drink all my Smirnoff last night. No point in putting the remains on ice, might as well finish it off and keep a perpetual level of pissed-ness til it’s all (if it's ever) done and dusted. FFS!
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

Dragging his feet because he is waiting for Kroenke to buy his Arsenal stake before he can buy us....
2+2 = me very excited - and almost certainly wrong, but hey it is fun.
Whatever, Nasri and Song won’t hang around for our contract offers forever even though they are Charlton fans so get it done RD.

You might be a tad pissed off about it I certainly would
Today’s changes are another example of people retaining caution and not being sucked in to the vacuum for information
We have been through the mill as fans and it’s nearing the end
Wait for the official announcement from the official source let the new owner/owners have the joy of being revealed
I still believe there’s a way to go but we are closer to being sold than ever before under RD and that’s a great bit of news
Oh & once the deal is signed give the Belgian 20 Eurostar season tickets to go & annoy the fucker every week.
And another summary thread.
When will it ever end ! Arrrggghhhh
If it gets to 600 I will..... (Leave it up to you to comment)
We get to 1.4 million views and the we get @SE23 proposing to ban @Airman Brown
Pleeeease end this...:-(
