Richard, Olly and the rest of us don't really have a clue, and it looks like the club are blagging it and hoping for the best, like Robinson with the team.
Several DDs can happen at the same time. We once had 3 on the go simultaneously. The two bids"excepted" dont have to be the same monetary value----could be money up front and then bolt-ons , money but certain assets NOT included,all debts paid and all the dosh etc etc
Its believed RD has a preferred bidder which could mean anything ,but given the old c--nts track record is more than likely to mean he ends up keeping the freehold to The Valley. The other "excepted bid" might be more dosh but RD has to sell the lot.
Tic toc Tony tic toc
Your use of the word “excepted” really annoyed me then for no real reason other than being totally wrong
Then I read the last few pages and cheered up
Hoping Redhenrys group are still in the running. I’m assuming they are as it’s definitely not the Scottish consortium
Dont forget the article from McLeish the other week saying that the Scottish lot being unable to match the price wanted by Roland
I'm going with: Party One = Andrew Muir | Party Two = The group that RedHenry has been talking about
Surely someone from CAST/CARD etc, can ask the club/Murray ASAP to clarify his statement and clear up the misunderstanding.....or is that too simple a thing to achieve? It’s well known that Richard Murray reads the forums and no doubt is already well aware of the confusion that’s been caused. Interesting to see if he clarifies the situation.....and if not why not? Does it mean he deliberately set out to confuse us all.....the Richard Murray I once knew would have reacted very swiftly to clear things up.......nowadays, sadly, I really don’t know?
To most, there is no confusion - there are 2 consortiums - as there have been for some weeks and both have now had their offers accepted - so the deals are partly both done but when drafting up contracts etc and until they are signed, nothing is a done deal - 1 party is Australian, the other is british and is the one I would put my money on - not redbull, not the known Scots and if red henrys lot are foreign, it's not them - hopefully it becomes 'done' in the next few weeks - if not, once next years division known would b my guess
On the contrary......you only have to read the comments on this thread in the last few hours to see there is plenty of confusion with several different takes on what he has said and what he means. Indeed, you have just added your own opinion, which, like most others, you believe to be correct, when in reality all you have done is added to the confusion.
What is there to be confused about? The statement on the OS is pretty straightforward.
Charlton Athletic Director Richard Murray has said that a price for a takeover of the club has been agreed with two separate parties and that the deal is now with the lawyers.
I really don't care who is in the know, who's guessing, who is a WUM, who is so insecure they desire recognition of actually knowing some people who might or might not know what's happening.
I know f*ck all about what's happening - I just want him gone and our Charlton back - which I think is what we all want. I'm not one who dreams of mega money owners buying success, I just want my club that gets its values back, a competitive Championship club playing in front of 20,000+ crowds. I'm easily satisfied.
What will be, will be - we are Charlton and if history tells us anything it's that nothing is ever straightforward!

2 separate bidders leaves the Aussies and a question mark.
I like the unknown
