Can you find out if there's been any due diligence yet?DOUCHER said:Just when you thought things couldn't get any more confusing on this thread, I re appear. Hopefully fill up my knowledge tank tonight and will of course divulge if anything notable where possible. Has the discrepancy between red henrys multiple parties still involved and airmans done deal been resolved yet? Fingers crossed for a big announcement tonight, doubt it though.

Does anyone know if JJ has been doing any coaching at all? Wonder if he might find a role under new ownership.1

Keep up!!2 -
I’m nicely nestled in The Covered End awaiting tonight’s special announcement: “Message to our supporters: You absolutely cannot microwave Pot Noodles, they’re freaking bad enough already. Now carry on”8

Well fosu and Bauer are both starting so I don’t think I hold out much hope on this guy being correct.sammy391 said:Guy on charlton Facebook group bumped into Robinson today, Robinson apparently told him to keep an eye on the news this week ...

Clutching at straws, but perhaps a bit of takeover goss!?0 -
Has Chief Nzeribe been seen recently?3

As if.Red_in_SE8 said:I am more looking forward to the video and photos of the Directors box tonight than I am of the photos and videos of the football action.
The whole ' done deal' thing was a ruse to flush other bidders out.

Yet another major disappointment for supporters tonight, Robinson needs to go when new owners come in.
But if I was looking to buy now after last 3 matches I would wait until May , as no way this squad or manager have what it takes to win play offs , that’s assuming we even get there.
This is a team of chokers no guts and no drive.3 -

Could’ve got Powell in and we’d be cruising now! (Man–love)
I’m still not convinced anything will happen this side of summer.3 -
Any interesting faces in the Director's Box?0

Get it done ASAP, get some players scouted and get signings done by the first couple of weeks of June.5 -

I’ve spoken twice now to someone of prominence who has been mentioned in takeover talks in recent months and he tells me Two months time!
Maybe right maybe wrong but for all the itk posts and people with connections I am more willing to believe what this guy says, even if he is not ultimately part of the takeover I’m sure he is in the loop than most.1 -
15 June ... just be patient.1

Any owners with genuine commitment and positive intentions for the club would get in and stop the rot ASAP and surely want to halt the demise.Davidsmith said:Yet another major disappointment for supporters tonight, Robinson needs to go when new owners come in.

If it is purely based on a business decision and finances to hold off it doesn't speak well.
If the buy price is contingent on which league we end up in at the end of the season they could agree it now and still take over. No way new owners would jeopardise promotion to save money as it would be false economy.
Probably the seller being a true to form tit.1 -
Sorry if I’m just being ignorant as I have very little knowledge around this sort of thing, but how would someone be able to lay down a marker of say 2 months?scabbyhorse said:I’ve spoken twice now to someone of prominence who has been mentioned in takeover talks in recent months and he tells me Two months time!

If like we have been told by a fair few people now DD has been done, even with reports of a ‘done deal’ , what could be this snag that’s causing over 8 weeks of delay.1 -

I can't see why there would be any urgency on the buyers side.

Admittedly I don’t know and will not pretend too either , twice this person has told me two months time. If it happens tomorrow I will be as happy as everyone one else.0

Urgency may come from the fact that there isn't just one group bidding for the club. If they've agreed on price then they're not going to wait around for the other bidder to match it and close the deal first.carly burn said:

No one is willing to pay Roland’s price so there could be a hundred bidders it wouldn’t matter, all waiting now for him to fold , longer they wait more chance they have of getting Club at right price.Leeds_Addick said:

Would you buy a Car at market value that has no MOT, needs new tyres and is losing oil! That’s CAFC at the moment.
Why do you think deal has rolled on since October and some buyers have walked away like the Scots.
