@castrust how far does it go before Murray gets challenged on what would appear to be another delaying tactic, which seems to me to be nothing other than preventing any kind of protest from happening again?
Ever had the feeling you're being played for a fool?
"I'll keep the plebs silent by telling them something will happen this month and when it doesn't I'll find some kind of excuse to put them back in their boxes for another few weeks mmmwwwahahahaha"
Now when I said that the other week I was told him saying something was better than nothing
The man is a pathological liar why anyone would listen to a thing he says is beyond me stopped a protest for what absolutely fuck all and the club still ain’t been sold
Heard some good news about the sale from someone more ITK than me yesterday. He’s on here but is discreet. I am now less worried than I was before.
Go on then ... I don’t get all this smoke and mirrors, if you’ve heard something just say it
I have said all I know. Someone I respect a great deal said there’s some good news coming soon re the takeover. If they want to add more on here I’m sure they will. But it was someone who gave me a piece of info some weeks ago that turned out to be correct. So I’m hoping this will too. It’s not someone who posts that sort of info on here. Anyway, I feel less despondent now than I did a few days ago, so wanted to share.
Is your good news James, Murray making a statement this week?
No, certainly not. I heard about Murray later. I'm hoping it's a good sign though.
I'm comforting myself with the belief that @JamesSeed saying he heard some good news is actually that @Redhenry mega rich mob are as good as a (date I say it???) Done Deal
RM is just there to try and appease the fan base through to season end without any more protesting. I just don't get the feel that this is anywhere near close and expect RD to be still holding on past season end once the dream of promotion has gone. Farcical sale in line with everything else that RD has brought to SE7.
As February draws to a close Richard Murray has confirmed to CAS Trust that he is planning to issue an update statement on the sale of the club later this week.
In terms of detail he will continue to be constrained by the terms of the non disclosure agreements which are in place but he is very conscious of the level of interest among Charlton fans about the issue of the club's ownership and the frustration many are feeling about the current situation. We anticipate that he will be seeking to keep fans as well informed as possible.
Only planning to. I plan to do lots of things then don't have time or can't be bothered.

If he rocks up with the tea boy then you may have point.

Well, he is perfectly well aware that CARD is a coalition comprising a lot more than CAST, and that CAST is the moderate element within it. So he understands that CARD includes people who are inclined to be sceptical of anything he says, and can easily take the view you are suggesting, and formulate plans accordingly.
The other thing to note is that he declined the opportunity to meet with CAST at this time, preferring instead to make his statement to 'all the fans'. So we will be in the same position as anyone else in forming an opinion on what he says. So if you and most other CAST members decide that 'we are being played', after reading his statement, we will have no privileged information that would lead us to put a less cynical viewpoint to you. And I have personally and recently pointed out to him that CAST is an organisation of paid up members and we have to be guided by their opinions, ahead of our individual judgements.
We have a meet tomorrow, as it happens, and for sure we will be discussing this including your take on it, which clearly has struck a chord.
Murray said it could be February, which was his assessment at the time. But there’s an announcement tomorrow, the last day of Feb, and we don’t know what that will reveal. I don’t think it’s worth getting her up about it myself.
I’m hoping he’ll confirm what I heard, but if it’s just to say the sale will be concluded in March, well March is a fine month for change, winter into spring etc So long as he doesn’t say ‘could’, I guess.
Dear March - Come in - How glad I am - I hoped for you before - Put down your Hat - You must have walked - How out of Breath you are - Dear March, how are you, and the Rest - Did you leave Nature well - Oh March, Come right upstairs with me - I have so much to tell -

April come she will When streams are ripe and swelled with rain May she will stay Resting in my arms again June she'll change her tune In restless walks she'll prowl the night
July she will fly And give no warning to her flight August die she must The autumn winds blow chilly and cold September I remember A love once new has now grown old
From next season - the last date for permanent transfers is aug 9th - so our ceo / finance people should be planning for transfers now. Oops. Thats my worry with this taking so long.

RM's PA. So, shall we just change February to March?
RM. PERFECT!

If only the Club would communicate with such speed and clarity.
Does this fella get anything right these days??

When streams are ripe and swelled with rain
May she will stay
Resting in my arms again
June she'll change her tune
In restless walks she'll prowl the night
July she will fly
And give no warning to her flight
August die she must
The autumn winds blow chilly and cold
September I remember
A love once new has now grown old
