I still cannot fathom out how some in the know can tel us who the manager will be, who the chairman will be, how much was paid for the club, and when the deal is going to go through; but still no one has much of a clue as to who it is.
What I also don’t get is, why is it such a secret? I am deeply suspicious of those who do not wish to be identified. What have they got to hide?
It's not a secret though, doucher said they were Aussies or British ......................................................
Though he then said that he doesn't know who they are ........................................
But one of his cast iron saucers know who it is .............. or was that sauces ?
It seems to me most of these so-called news sites get most of their stuff about CAFC's sale straight from this very board and then repackage it to make it sound researched. And then it gets recycled on here and then we think because it comes from a so-called "press source" that it makes it real. But in reality, it's just our own speculation coming back to us in an echo chamber.

All we do know is no one has been on the money yet, even the newspapers. Reporters usually sniff out what is going on but they just seem to be recycling rumours. Thought they were better than that.
You'd have to say from reading the spiel on the Oz consortium website that a big part of their plans is to make whichever club they choose a household name in Australia. To do that,and I'm just speculating here, the whole set up will need a real Australian flavour to give the club some appeal back home, hence the arrival of Kewell. This would be followed I guess with a fair smuttering of Australian youngsters filtering through the academy and probably more coaches with an Oz background and sporting philosophy. Whether that really is the best way forward for this club only time will tell I guess. The distance between the two different spheres of interest couldn't be worse geographically in my opinion. There will be a fair amount of scepticism around on the Charlton supporters part and rightly so. Yes it's not Duchatelet. But could we be moving from one harebraned scheme to another??
Is that a new collective noun? A smuttering of Australians? - it works. Although fair is not an appropriate term to use in relation to Ozzie’s at the moment.
Also I think quantities of distance is more to do with a matter of fact than opinion.
Surely it should be a "scratching" of Australians?
I think it is a "conviction of Australians".
If it’s a group of Aussies it’s a “Mob” so henceforth they will be known as the “A Mob”

I know it's only been pointed out a few hundred times, but these Aussie youngster's would not get work permits.
Unless they have a British parent or Grandparent. Maybe even European whilst we are still part of the eu.

Mob is the collective word for a group of kangaroos, so there you have it from @TEL whose let one slip, so obviously ITK and conclusive proof it's a consortium of kangaroos.
end of November December 5th by Xmas by the New Year before the end of the Jan transfer window in a couple of weeks by the end of February early this week before the end of this week
I'm wondering if a pattern is beginning to emerge?
Just to lift the mood I'll add some more
in the next 2 weeks before the end of April before the end of the season before the start of the pre season friendlies before the start of the season and repeat......

You should get a promote for that. Most accurate post on the thread, regardless of what some of the ballbag mods think
Richard Murray has apparently warned Lee Bowyer that Mondays home game against Rotherham could be his last as caretaker manager.
Take over must be happening early next week then
; )
No, he's being made perm
Disclaimer: I am not "in the know" and don't claim to be, the above is a poor attempt at a joke to bolster my "lols". The local and national press should not believe this and make no attempt to repeat this in any of their publications.
Made a delivery of sandpaper to the training ground yesterday, Bowyer had them practicing free kicks with someone I thought looked like Kewell. I’m not in know though just passing on what I saw. Also looked like Murray was warning them not to use sandpaper for Monday’s game.
Murray the great motivator. I know that it's paper talk but this does make you question his judgement (yet again).
Surely it would be better to say something like 'Look, the takeover could drag on for many weeks even months, enjoy yourself, do your best to keep us winning games and you never know what might happen'.
I still cannot fathom out how some in the know can tel us who the manager will be, who the chairman will be, how much was paid for the club, and when the deal is going to go through; but still no one has much of a clue as to who it is.

If the internet has taught me anything about forums, there is an awful lot of people who crave self importance. I’m sure there is one or two on here,(or other sites), who know a bit and they either keep it to themselves or are a tad economic with what they share. Logic tells me that there will be a new owner/s at some point, there always will be. Our current owner is not exactly in the first flush of youth and any interest in our club has clearly lessened, not that there seemed much to start with. I wouldn’t have thought he enjoys his days pondering on how he can make Charlton successful or wind the supporters up for another week. Like you I find a lot of what I read unbelievable. But it helps to pass a few minutes a day.

This isn't the place for sensible considered posting. Can we stick to speculation, conjecture, hyperbole and pot noodles please!
If Bowyer wins the next two that should change matters - I know a new owner has to line things up and plan, but they should also react to the situation - it is how Duchatelet went wrong from the very beginning!

Roland going to sack him.Bexley Boy has been more accurate than him in the past couple of months.

And who is this fountain of information? Presumably someone that Bow can trust to keep his mouth shut.
