Angeldust claims on the other site that another party entered DD proceedings on wednesday which may prolong deal being finalised
If this is true my fear is that the Aussie group will finally get pissed off at being dicked around one too many times and piss off entirely. Then this new group won’t proceed and we will be stuck with Roland and face a relegation battle next season. Just sell up and fuck off you senile old git. If not I look forward to seeing you in your own backyard in May.
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 universities
AFKA, you are treading on thin ice my friend! I was at Hull Uni from 1973-76. A great place in those days. The poet Phillip Larkin was the head of the university library in those days.
The great Poet has now passed on, so there's no more Larkin about.
I don’t know whether this is a coincidence but did you notice when this thread started to get less posts suddenly the Aussies and Kewell were mentioned which gave this thread a kick up the jacksy. And now this thread is back in overdrive I am wondering whether the prospective owners are toying with us and want to see a million posts to set a CL record of all time and making the bitesize takeover thread a mere embarrassment. Just a thought...
Bit of a catch 22 - the longer it takes for the takeover to go through the longer Bowyer and Jacko are given a chance in their new roles!
What would everybody prefer?
It would be such a shame for the Aussies to come in and immediately replace them!
We need Bowyer and JJ to stay to the end of season, because the boys will give 100%, even if we fall short.
We need Duchatelet to move on, but his track record at Standard was of having sell on clauses to benefit himself allegedly. When Michy Batshuayi went to Chelsea for 33 million the papers in Europe were full of Douchebag 30% cut. So no way won't he try to put every possible promotion clause in there.
As long as the sale includes the valley and sparrows lane and it's a complete takeover leaving Roland with nothing of our club I'll be happy.
Announcement: "Roland Duchatalet today completed the sale of Charlton Athletic FC, including all its assets, The Valley, Sparrows Lane training ground and all player registrations for a sum of £200m - with payment to be met over five years by the club - to Belgian businessman and investor Roderick Duchatalet".
Would you still be happy with this?
FUCK me I never new Napa was overseeing the sale
The club will be bought for £45M. The other £155M will be to convert The Valley to "all sofa" seating.

Amazing amount of patience being shown by the Aussies all things considered.
Ffs just sell up you old scrote!
If they're Malaysian, then I'm fucked.
Many things written on this site over last 12hours have fallen into place for me now.
Never easy being a Charlton fan but Always interesting.
This is going to run into April.

Once done we go back to being a dull, sensibly run club again.
