@cabbles I just don't see a 'successful' business man with a massive ego who doesn't do failure going down an Administration route at the considerable cost of paying an Insolvency Practitioner. Why would he risk a fire sale of his business (CAFC) if he can do better selling it as a going concern and playing hardball on a sale price which he is doing now apparently. By not paying the wages would be the act of a madman mugging himself off and as much as I detest him, I don't think he is quite that. He might have a nasty streak in him but when it comes to losing even more money, the financial considerations and saving face, will win over seeking revenge.
It's a waiting game, every day we are closer to being rid of his evil clutches and patience is a virtue .
Tomorrow is Holy Thursday... in biblical terms it means roughly:
Holy Thursday Is the Christian holy day falling on the Thursday before Easter. It commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus Christ (Roland?) with the Apostles {Charlton fans} as described in the gospels.
I don't wanna piss on no one's cornflakes, but without knowing how true / accurate the Tweets are this morning, would anyone else feel its a bit of an anti-climax if people with "strong links" to a foreign football league were the new owner(s)?

It's links to the AFL, Essendon, an Aussie Rules team of which Andrew Muir is a director.

Why don't they make their own name up then, football is the English invented game, where one kicks the ball. Not the shit charlatan sports played in America or Australia
I can see how you might call Aussie rules Hand and Foot ball but American football has to be the stupidest name ever. I know they have kickers, but the game is basically played in the hands! It is ridiculous they can steal the name of the truly greatest sport known to man!
We have Association Football and Rugby Football only formalised in what 1870? if you think about the historical connection of these former colonies and the development of the game back in the day you can kind of understand it I think.

I always thought American football started when some guy said “I know what we can do to stave off hunger, gettin killed by disease or indigenous people, let’s play a spot of rugby! They used to play that back home”. “Okay boss, how’d we play?” “Errrrrrmmm...”
Can’t see payday making any difference tbh. Would have thought any deal to buy would simply involve a price. Running costs up to the date of sale being covered by RD and after by the new owner. So if we complete a day before payday RD will lodge sufficient to cover the months pay minus a day and new owners will cover a day.
Philip Aiken loosely ties to something someone told me about a property man involved.

I got tickets for Monday on the basis that this would all be sewn up by now. I suspect others did the same. It looks like this will be a slow revolution, with RD's influence slowly melting away, rather than the sudden one we were anticipating.
If that’s our lot, then there’s a good balance. One guy who knows about turning things around and another who you’d expect to have a significant amount of cash. Hopefully there’s some shrewd investors to add to that
Wondering if Aiken is involved in this? If the Aussies still are, I have no idea but a mate knows him and says he is a good man.

Now that it seems were beginning to know some names behind the Aussie bid, and reading some facts about them, I dont feel so concerned about their takeover, and if Paul Elliot was to become CEO or Chairman, it would seem to be a shrewd move, which in my eyes would cast doubt on Kewell becoming Manager right away.

I bought tickets for Monday on the same assumption. I hope there is a decent turnout still on the basis that we are due to be taken over. regardless, first game at the Valley after the sale i'll still be attending.
I’m sure others have said this before, but I have a funny feeling nothing will happen until it’s know which division we’ll be playing in next season. That would explain the delays maybe.

This thread really has gone full circle - both Murphy and Aiken’s names were the first rumoured backers to be mentioned a year ago - see the link in the OP. Can’t remember who posted the OP though as I didn’t see a promote for it.
If a deal is stalling on the new buyer waiting to see what division we'll be in next season, they obviously haven't got any long term plans, or idea about football** in general.
Utterly crazy that this "Kewell quitting within 48 hours and said good bye to his players" fairy tale has spread so quickly from that known fake journo on twitter. Kent Live get hold of it and publish a story off the back of it, next thing you know it's in the mainstream media in Australia.
Complete nonsense!
Can't take that Kent Live site too seriously - the other week their headline read that we had lost at home to Fleetwood! Totally lazy 'journalism'.

Do you think its the buyer that is holding this up then??

Seller I reckon. Only an opinion of course probably wrong, as ever.
I get the feeling Roland is moving the goal posts on the asking price week to week based on performances - KAG is having a stormer - so that's an extra million now - Ajose looks interested again? bung another £500K on the asking price. Page made it through 90 minutes? Gotta be worth an extra 100K surely?
Wouldn't put it past him although that would require him to actually show an interest in the team so perhaps not...

This is interesting https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_in_Australia
And that’s how it was born.

But in all seriousness, next season could be a clean slate for a manager under a new owner.

So, I'm expecting lots of hot, cross, bums...
