So not really relevant then are they (I'm not having a pop at you @Redhenry & always thankful of your posts).Redhenry said:I don't know what or if anything has changed. I assumed the Aussies were about to complete.
All I know is my mob are still in, but still haven't agreed a price.
I might like the look of a house in Keston selling for £5m, but if I only offer £250k I can hardly say that I'm "in the game".0 -
But that nice Mr Murray told us two bidders had agreed the price five weeks ago.5

I certainly wouldn't call them irrelevant. Do we know if anyone has agreed a price?golfaddick said:

Went in the shop after the game to kill time before my train, place was rammed and queue for the tills was winding around the isles, bowyer bounce seems to be working, heard European & American accentscarly burn said:Club off the market ??
For the time being maybe. Don't think Roland has ever been that desperate to sell. Not saying he won't mind, just think there could be a bit more distance to tread.
Looking around today, people are starting to come back regardless. There's a bit of a buzz around the place.
Add to that a lucrative run in with a possible play off semi final and final ahead and all that brings. Shirts & merchandise will be flying off the shelves! ( Heard a few as I was walking out saying they are going to pop in the shop to get the home shirt) as the Bowyer bounce bounds on. And then who knows?1 -

I wish people wouldn't do this. Support the team and management but try not to spend a penny...DA9 said:

But then you wouldn't have spent £20k odd, on searches, surveyors and architects if you never had a way of getting the £5mgolfaddick said:

If a second group are playing catch-up I’m not surprised that RD is waiting to see how that develops.
Providing a sale goes through before or soon after the end of the season I actually think that a lull in proceedings could work for Bowyer and the team and allow them and us focus on what looks like being an exciting season’s end.5 -
and soon next week will become next month, and next month will become next year...1

If we win every game by at least 2 goals. I don't care how long it takes for RD to fuck off. He certainly won't be around long.3

Meanwhile contracts don't get renewed and player targets missed, the sale on or off needs sorting very soon. From the academy upwards the players need to know where they stand. Leaving this until the end of the season is too late.ShootersHillGuru said:If a second group are playing catch-up I’m not surprised that RD is waiting to see how that develops.

I think we got a few "new" people at the match yesterday - something to do on a wet Bank Holiday, I imagine a few will have been convertedDA9 said:

This can't go on for much longer, we won't have any planning for next season, be that contracts, manager or purchases for the squad, to selling season tickets.
There is a point where business as usual needs to happen, or next season one way or the other is going to be the mother of all clusterfucks.16 -
I doubt RD cares about any of that, he just wants the best price he can get sod our future.Rothko said:This can't go on for much longer, we won't have any planning for next season, be that contracts, manager or purchases for the squad, to selling season tickets.

I would not be so pessimistic. A football club will have players identified for life in either division they find themselves, and I am not sure how many of our players are out of contract this summer, but I did not think we had any?Rothko said:This can't go on for much longer, we won't have any planning for next season, be that contracts, manager or purchases for the squad, to selling season tickets.

Season tickets would of course been on sale by now, and I am a bit surprised that Rolly has not tried it on. Numbers for tickets can only go up, unfortunately the same for prices!
As for managers, we have a good one in place and hopefully he would want to stay. If not, managers come and go all the time.
Obviously it would be better if all sorted, but need not be a complete disaster.0 -
The takeover won’t happen until it’s determined what league we are in next year I am convinced of that and have been since this all started7

But if you had the money to buy the house 100 times over and were just biding your time because you'd heard from the estate agent that the other interested party didn't really have enough funds to buy it, then yes you'd be in the game.golfaddick said:

Hope you're right mate. Could be a huge disruptive influence of it happens now.nth london addick said:The takeover won’t happen until it’s determined what league we are in next year I am convinced of that and have been since this all started

Spot on with this! No point in getting promoted if half the squad leave and there's no-one to arrange the negotiating of new contracts or signing of new players. Crazy!! But then again, we know RD couldn't give a toss about the playing side - he wouldn't care if we were in League 2 or the bloody National League - he will only sell when he gets his dosh, whether that be in two weeks or two months.Sid James Fan Club said:<

We managed to get Mavididi, Zyro and Kaikai in January despite the club operating on autopilot. We still have a scouting setup, and must be an attractive option for young players, with our location and infrastructure, even with the instability elsewhereLargeAddick said:

Shirts heavily discounted too I'm told.
No Prem games so the tourists came to Charlton. All good but not a major shift.
But gate was up, in part to Bowyer bounce and Duchatelet about to go.
