I have a feeling that this has got a lot further to run. I can't see it happening next week.1

Well Crawley, Airman and redhenry all saying Monday so I would go with them!!!4

What reason does he have to wait? If you're thinking a play-off win that could be a further payment should it happen. Potential buyers won't wait around forever.nth london addick said:If you were RD would you sell right now or wait

Good article. The only thing I took issue with was this line: 'Charlton have been stripped down to their core – around 5,000 apathetic season-ticket holders have long since departed, weary, fed up, gone to another club or perhaps another pastime all together. It’s hard to blame them'. It makes the drop in ST sales appear entirely passive and negative. That may be true for many, maybe most, of those who no longer attend. But for a good number of us absence isn't about giving up, absence is about fighting back. It is a sign on love for the club and determination to do what we consider was the best thing given the circumstances. Not renewing wasn't a sign of surrender or of not caring - and in no way was it about having a new team to support. It was about making a proactive decision as to how we could most effectively force the owner's hand to sell.carly burn said:38 -
Not sure about this. Will we have to tamper with the ball from day one? Sandpaper down the budgie smugglers? I don't think so!0

Expect the unexpected, Aussies bid is the lowest.

Precisely. Not only that but the other bidder hasn't gone away from what I understand.Davidsmith said:Expect the unexpected, Aussies bid is the lowest.

As a commodity cafc has a greater sell value in the championship so if he has agreed a price and we are down the line then either he has added a different value on the club depending on league or he will wait until the league position is determinedScoham said:

Now up until Thursday last week there were two buyers on Thursday a third appeared and came back in
Then it was announced that 1 had won and the deal will be done Monday or tuesday
Now for me it’s a bit ground hog day and although I trust what’s been shared with me and those sharing it nothing is done until it’s done and we have had so many false dawns that I don’t want to belive anything until it’s announced from the club itself
Great piece in the link above from the telegraph with a word of caution at the end that we may wish to heed8 -
Maybe old Roland putting out story of Aussies deal done to get others to close deal. Aussies been around for a year, suddenly Andrew Muir is involved? For how much? Who else is investing?
Lots of bluff and double bluff going on here I would assume.

FFS - I was planning to 'work from home' tomorrow.2

I'm also beginning to wonder if stories of completed deals are being leaked out there to head off the planned Easter protests? Seems very convenient that suddenly it's a done deal just after CARD make their announcement.2

I'm assuming that as you've never used VE you didn't know this random bloke you spoke to. I imagine he's just spouting stuff he's read on here.cafc-west said:Guy on Valley Express yesterday (first time I've used it) - who seemed vaguely ITK - said he was certain of Monday and that Paul Elliott would be the CEO - not Chairman...

The Aussies are keen to get the deal done but Roland will do the deal when he is ready , I think he is still hoping another group will come in with a better offer0

There is a substantial backstory to Andrew Muir’s involvement, which dates back to last summer. The durability of that - even if you think it’s not true - is evidenced by the cover of VOTV136 last August.Davidsmith said:Maybe old Roland putting out story of Aussies deal done to get others to close deal.

There hasn’t been any significant rumour about the identity of the “second” group other than Murray telling staff it was British. If you’re going to point to the public insubstantiality of the Aussie group, this is much more true of the other one.0 -
They are one and the same, searching for cash then they found Muir, but still way short on their bid.Airman Brown said:

Not Murray’s choice either from all accounts, he is tied in with another bid we here.

As each week passes, 2 more members of this forum suddenly become ITK and contradict everything that has been previously said. It's bloody hard to keep up with.2

Reading this post I've remembered that RM stated yesterday that of the 2 groups, one was his particular "favourite".Davidsmith said:

If the second group is British, where do the Saudis fit into all of this? Are the British group, British based Saudis or backed by them?Airman Brown said:
