From OS statement regarding Bowyer: “The takeover hasn’t moved as quickly as we had envisaged and it was important for those players and fans to know that whatever happens there will be stability.
“At this stage, there are still two parties looking to purchase the club and everything is close but a date for a takeover is not something I am able to put a timeline on because, as we have seen, these things can take longer than expected.”
The 2 parties being the Aussie's and Red Henry's lot I presume.
from what I can make out red herring is making it up as he goes along - aussies and brits are the 2 parties and the henrys Arabic panther is acting as some kind of decoy in the long grass - possibly with a mask on

Yes, and the arabs are not one of the 2
So why ask if you know? Or do you just like being a dick?

You do love a double negative don't you!
tbf this isn't a double negative - not saying I'm making any value judgement about the content.
He's saying if the Arab party are not one of the (2?) parties that have any sort of 'agreement' in place, we have no idea/guarantees about what they will do regarding Bowyer. Makes sense really?
@DOUCHER you keep on saying things in the wrong manner. I've stuck up for you on occasions as I think you come in for unfair treatment but then you dig out someone like @Redhenry just because what he says doesn't tally up with your version. It may well be that all the ITK people are only ITK in part of the picture. I find it hard to understand how there can be a British party bidding that nobody has found out anything about. Could it be the British aspect may just be the frontman for RHs arabs??? And both h you and RM keep trotting out the 2 interested parties line but we were told another group had entered DD recently??

Shhh now! No one knows what's going on. Not you, not Redhenry, not Rick, not Murray, the only person who knows is Roland.
We've been going round in circles for months.. This is all so flipping boring now.
My guess is that “the British party” is all to do with the fact that Keith Harris was asked to find a buyer for the club. I also guess that the buyer he has found are not British at all but are looking to appoint British management to run the club hence the rumours regarding both Paul Elliot and Steve Hamer.

Doesn't everyone loosely agree on the facts? Name-calling aside, and correct me if I'm wrong, but Airman, Red Henry and Doucher are all basically saying the same thing:
1. There are three parties (total) 2. British group (possibly underfunded), Aussie group, Arab group 3. The British and Aussie groups were probably who Murray referred to as 'price agreed' 4. The Arab group may have pulled out at one point, but are now back/trying to get back in the frame
The argument from Doucher seems to be about which two parties were the 'main' ones... but as far as I can tell, nobody has ever really disputed or agued the toss over that point
Edit - one possible reason for confusion is that the British/Arab groups may in fact be one and the same. Have I got that right?

I’ve not been able to find any evidence there is still a British group, beyond Murray saying that to staff at Sparrows Lane at the end of January. So my reading of it now is S Hamer/Saudis v Elliott/Aussies.

maybe the rumours of false stories being deliberately planted by some within the club are true.
If Red Henry’s lot are so rich then I can’t see why they just don’t pay the price. Why compete with the Aussies when they could blow them out of the water!
Trying to find out if they have won. Nothing back yet. Here's hoping
what nationality are your lot red henry? are they foreign?
if they are foreign, i can save you the bother, its not them
How can you be sure of that @DOUCHER ? I think you are barking up the wrong tree mate.
nope - nailed on, as i said about a week ago
I know what you are talking about and it has nothing to do with @Redhenry’s lot. You’re probably right in some sense though. I just can’t elaborate at the moment.
Let’s just see how things play out over the next week or two.

A week or two? Christ, I can't face another two weeks of this!!!
Am I the only person not too bothered about when Roland sells at the moment?
Haven't enjoyed going tO to the valley so much in years. Against Rotherham I got that buzz back, and everyone after the game was in really good spirits, atmosfear was the best it's been at the valley in years imo,
Roland will go, weather that's next week, may or end of the season.
For now get behind the boys, start enjoy going to football again and let's get in those play offs.
I think this is such a short-sighted view.
It completely ignores just how much damage Duchatelet has wrecked on the club in the past and, more importantly, how much more damage he can inflict in the future.
He is right now damaging the club with his attitude to the sale and indifference to how delaying and delaying the sale (that he expected to happen in January if not earlier) will impact on the club going forward.
I've seen all of the games under Bowyer and everything on the pitch is 100% different and 1000% better; players, atmosphere, football, results and press conferences. I'm loving it but it is just because it is so much better that I want the takeover to happen ASAP
It is only three games. We know Roland can mess up good starts (Peeters) or sack successful managers (Riga) on a whim. We can't just ignore the facts of just how bad an owner he has been and remains.
He has to go if Bowyer is to be allowed to really build the club, not just have a few wins and lift some depression short term.
We have no CEO, no finance director, a caretaker manager and have just announced operational losses of around £12m from the year ending July 2017 and are on course to have more of the same in this current financial year.
Just sell the club.
I am not questioning the damage Roland has done to the club, and I believe Roland will sell
My point was its nice to have that good feel back at home games and for the fans really getting behind the team.
It is not about results, more how together the team seems to be and the football we are playing.
Roland does have to go and I am not disputing that.
The only way to force him out is to do what we’ve always been doing - stop going, stop giving him money and ensure he takes heavy financial losses. Stick to your guns. Listen to CARD and follow their lead when they make announcements. Forget half price shirts, going to a game under bowyer. The long term future of our club is more important.
Well it hasn't worked so far. I have followed this advice and all I am hurting is myself. Duchatelet will sell when he wants to, irrespective of whether we protest or not.
I know we don’t know each other but to me the punters like you that don’t go to the games are the ones making a true sacrifice for our club , so thank you . If all the 7k or so who have disappeared since that twat turned up ,pissing about with our club , continued coming to games buying Kits sponsoring players /matches drinking in the ground buying food etc would that piss taking twat be so willing to sell . No I don’t think he would So you doing your bit me doing my bit and all my family /mates are doing our bit to get rid of this bellend In numbers we have made a difference
The lame crew can sit there and swoon about how rich he is and it not bothering him about a few quid here and there but it all adds up and will have contributed without doubt in some way to him wanting to sell .
Easy for some to turn a blind eye as their love one has been fucked around with by some prick in front of their own eyes for a good few years .
Well done to everyone who has withheld from spending with this poisonous ownership . No matter how small it be , whether it was not buying a program ,a beer , a shirt , a burger or whatever at the ground , it all adds up and helps push the experimenting dick out the front door .
In all honesty I wish I didn’t have these Charlton principles but I feel I’m looking at the bigger picture and I can set my kids on the road with some early principles in their Charlton Life .
Just sell the club .
Yep, great post and as they say.....this. Those that have boycotted have contributed more to The Rat selling than those still attending games. We all know that if there was not one person attending the matches, then the adverse publicity would have forced him to sell quicker, of course it would. Everyone has their own personal reasons for attending, and I respect their reasons, however 'for the good of the club' is not one of them.

I've hated the last couple of years, other then 3 games I've given the club the cold shoulder, I've wanted to buy a shirt for my lad who's interested, but won't, I want to come to games in the run in, but won't (play off semi final might be a test of my morals), but I'd rather keep the £500 a year all in that I invested in the club, and not hand it over.
This takeover has to happen, because I want to be able to get my boy a Charlton shirt, bring him to the Valley, and get him consigned to a life of misery joy.

WIOTOS
Then I read the last few pages and cheered up
Hoping Redhenrys group are still in the running. I’m assuming they are as it’s definitely not the Scottish consortium
Dont forget the article from McLeish the other week saying that the Scottish lot being unable to match the price wanted by Roland
I'm going with: Party One = Andrew Muir | Party Two = The group that RedHenry has been talking about what nationality are your lot red henry? are they foreign?
if they are foreign, i can save you the bother, its not them
