Yes, I've never believed there were two Aussie groups. The "second" group I am talking about is the one Murray is talking about, which he said is British, and which has had no public profile.Davidsmith said:
They are one and the same, searching for cash then they found Muir, but still way short on their bid.Airman Brown said:
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. 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.

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.
Not Murray’s choice either from all accounts, he is tied in with another bid we here.0 -
Does anyone actually know?0

Seriously Killer,do youself a favour .Just sit back and wait for it to happen. Nobody really has the answers. Just tit bits and Chinese whispers. We just have to wait for the doddery old chunt to make his decision.killerandflash 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:

The Saudis were a wild card which is what threw things off-balance in February. They were never part of the equation when Murray was talking in January about two groups and a February conclusion and their intervention is what caused the delay.killerandflash said:

In the last week we've had the Daily Mirror, The Sun, the Evening Standard, the SLP all talking about the Australians, specifically around Kewell, which has never happened before. It's come, to my understanding, from Robinson, the Saudi end and Paul Elliott, any of which you may choose to regard as reliable or unreliable as suits. The Saudi stuff has multiple sources.4 -
Monday will come/go and may be the deal will be done or not -----we edge closer to RDs departure and the sunshine

Are they out of it altogether now and are the British group the ones that Mike Ashley has been linked to be involved with?Airman Brown said:

I really hope it's done tomorrow, for the obvious reasons, but also to see how many of the ITKs on here have got the front to say, 'There you go. Exactly as I predicted.'1
-
I thought the Mike Ashley thing was a complete red herring that came up around the time of Donald Muir/Alex McLeish interest
Will be interesting to see if tomorrow does bring anything.1 - Sponsored links:

Grief!
I don't know what's more tortuous at the moment, this thread... or the "How the fuck can we convince ourselves Corbyn can win" thread?
Both are on the same trajectory, back up back down and round and round again. BUT i just cannot stop popping in and taking a gander!0 -
Andledust nownsaying that there is time for a twist, and that he heard that another party started DD on Wednesday!5

I suspect there is as much chance of a takeover being announced tomorrow as there is that Hull will be widely accepted with Oxford and Cambridge as one of our three great historic universities13

Maybe the gunslinger Was right with his tweet2
-
I've heard a whisper about the new management set up;
Darren Lehman, Steve Smith and David Warner. Three fair-dinkum Aussies who'll ensure the integrity of our great club is kept firmly intact.
Fairly likely that Lee Bowyer will get us a couple of good results/performances and will then be ironed out by the new regime.

Maybe we're all characters in some strange fairy story, where it will only happen once no-one believes that it's going to happen.0

My guess would be that RD has seen we now have a moderate chance of a playoff place and has moved the goalposts at the last minute. Absolute tosser.2

I sometimes think we are part of a computer simulation being played by Crystal Palace fans...47

Respect @ElfsborgAddick I only put 50p in the collection bucket, that's all the loose change I hadElfsborgAddick said:
I'm still waiting on my £1 I paid towards the purchase of Ronnie Moore.RedChaser said:
Quite possibly here's a breakdown of the former directors loans according to Airman in January totalling £7m;Arsenetatters said:
So quite ITK then. OhRedChaser said:
Former Director with a secured loan outstanding of £250k I believe.Arsenetatters said:
How much ITK is he? (although the only one truly ITK is Roland I guess)PragueAddick said:
As well as Murray's £2.6m, Derek Chappell and Bob Whitehand each have £1.2m outstanding, Sir Maurice Hatter £1m, David Hughes £500,000 and David Sumners and David White £250,000 each.
We are still in talks.

Well if thats the case, he could have purchased a striker and actually had a valid point.Covered_End_Lad said:My guess would be that RD has seen we now have a moderate chance of a playoff place and has moved the goalposts at the last minute. Absolute tosser.

Are we going to have to wait for 3 million views for this to be over?0

Not sure that's the case as I heard about the middle eastern interest on Thursday.Covered_End_Lad said:My guess would be that RD has seen we now have a moderate chance of a playoff place and has moved the goalposts at the last minute. Absolute tosser.

That's what I thought very good article somewhat spoilt by that sentence. Another club ????? I'm just waiting for the takeover & I'll be back.Stig said:
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:
