    It's going to be confirmed this week. I can feel it.

    Fingers crossed I don't end up disappointed again :lol:
  • If and when it does happen rich Cawley and airman etc will suddenly have a lot of new info (incl identities) a couple of days before (like the spivs takeover and douche taking over)
  • At this rate there will soon be very little to take over.
  • It won’t be long now....

    I keep telling my wife that.

    I sense that Murray is just telling us what we want to hear.

    In my opinion he should be concentrating on getting season ticket prices for next season sorted.

    I'd be surprised if Murray has any interest in that. Presumably they would only reissue last season's anyway. But I think any season ticket announcement ahead of a takeover should be met with derision.

    I think there should be a boycott of season ticket sales if Duchatelet is still in charge.
    100%.

    I can’t imagine they would be stupid enough to try to sell STs for next season while Duchatelet is still here. The thought of that money going into Duchatelet’s pocket rather than helping new owners rebuild the club/team would cause uproar. Under those circumstances I can’t imagine anyone would renew /buy. It would have to be a complete boycott of STs until the takeover is completed.
    Unfortunately I could still see 3000+ still buying.

    Do you want to put your mortgage on that? I wouldn't!
  • Feck me.

    Just home from a depressing experience in lovely ( ahem) Peterborough...

    .....and Mr F's had to wrestle the kitchen knife out of my white knuckle grasp !

    PLEASE ! Is there ANYONE out there who can inject a smidgen of positivity or optimism into this thread ?

    Fanny is struggling to keep the faith.

    Fanny, here’s an idea, lets run away to Belgium and protest together.
    (With Mr F’s and Mrs M’s permissions of course)
    OOOH ! It's been a while since I had an offer like that !

    AND I have a senior railcard.....
    Bet that gave you a puncture, @catfordmorry

    ; )
    I blew a gasket.
  • It's interesting (and disturbing) to note the downswing in mood over the past few days. Have I missed some bad news or is it just that the takeover is taking longer than anticipated?

    Probably because it is taking longer than expected and we are getting further and further from even getting into the playoffs, which makes the chances of getting out of this crap league diminishingly small - even under new ownership.

    I agree with this. First time in forever I can't be bothered to post a match report, I don't know the kick off time next weekend for the Rugby but it is a pull (Ireland being in with a chance of the grand slam) compared to what I anticipate to be miserable dreariness ay the Valley.
    It is like catching some kind of illness, but for me i am simply losing interest, genuinely, and for anybody that knows me, they will be surprised.
    My mood regarding Charlton was last this low when we went to Selhurst, and it is hard to know if any enthusiasm will ever return.

    With the exception of a few who have stubbornly dug there heels in, the others who may renew will only be doing so to retain their seats.
    May I suggest that CAST address this by letting them know that the potential new owners will be respectfully urged to allow, wherever possible, lapsed season ticket holders to return to their seats on renewing after the takeover.

    Well I for one will not renew my season ticket if uncle Roland is still here.

    It was touch and go this season but enough is enough.

    The point is was trying to make is that as Murray is really the only main member of the SMT left he needs to sort this out

    I can't believe you've overlooked the fact Mr Cahones is more than helping!

    It is a very valid point, because it is very much looking like we will be in league one for another season and we are two months from the season ending and we have no plan in place for next season. Under Powell, we had already identified transfer targets for the previous year.

    Throw in big spending budgets like Sunderland and Birmingham and next season could be a struggle to compete for the automatic promotions.

    We need this to happen quickly for this season and next season.
  • You can't build a squad with no money and no plan. This needs to happen in the next few weeks or we're scuppered.
