When Jimmy seed was called up to serve in WW1 he was enrolled in the Sunderland Cycle Corps. If anyone has a picture of him in uniform, and on his bike, I'd like a copy of it very much. Thanks.
Andrew Muir is flying back to Australia at the weekend for a two week break, after which he'll return to the UK.
Just my speculation, but that would mean Muir would have time to hold a press conference tomorrow, if there is an announcement to be made.
It could alternatively mean that he intends to come back in two weeks in time, for the completion of the sale, if the EFL has yet to complete its 'fit and proper persons test'.
After what I heard at my previous meeting, I believe the former is more likely to be the case.
Fingers and fins crossed!
More good news is that Muir and Murphy are very much looking forward to taking a tour of the Charlton Athletic Museum. Something you'd want to do if you were about to buy a football club with a history as rich as Charlton's.
Just to clarify, do you believe the deal is done and will be announced or tomorrow, or simply that Muir is going to Australia on the weekend so tomorrow would be a good time to announce it?
Truthfully I don't know. The optimist in me thinks the fact that that Muir is going to Australia at the weekend would make tomorrow a good time to announce it...
And the pessimist I'm me might think it's still got some way to go I hope your optimism wins James.
There has been two “niggling” points that have been negotiated and resolved over the last week or so. The outcome of those new agreements was what had to be signed off by two of the investors. I understand that was effectively a formality hence we are where we now are on the verge of completion subject to EFL.
No idea if JS is correct about tomorrow but let’s hope he is.
I haven't predicted anything, I just said it's possible. It'd be great if it happened tomorrow of course!
Surely it’s entirely possible he just has something to tend to back in Aus regardless of the takeover, you’re in a position to know more than most and I’m hoping you might not be letting on a bit of extra detail that’s feeding your optimism but I’m still not gonna get too excited

Could announce his aquistion of Charlton tomorrow and return home for a break in preparation of the upcoming task.
If that's the case, I can imagine he leave a structure in place to go ahead with manager searching & players etc whilst he sorts himself out.
If it's announced tomorrow then it will be either Fosters or XXXX if they still sell it over here!

If it doesn't happen tomorrow, I'd just like to say, JS...
This has got to be the most frustrating thread in the history of Charlton Life. Just got in from work saw there were over 260 new posts. Read them all. Still none the wiser, just speculation and bloody fish puns.
Why couldn't my nan have taken me and my brother to see Arsenal, West Ham or even Palace all those years ago? Why Charlton? Bet she's laughing her head off from up there.
I would be personally amazed if anything was announced tomorrow and, if it is, will donate a decent sum of money to anyone organising a party in Belgium to see the bugger off.
Now I may well be completely wrong here but I read James comments about the 2 investors differently.
It came across to me that they still had to sign off on the final price/deal/ terms of agreement with Roland. Not that they still had to sign up to the project. I assume they are already on board with the project to buy us but at that point hadn't given their go ahead on the final agreement.
Surely it wouldn't have got this far without proof of funds.
You see and some chump was doubting your economics qualifications the other day... Nice one @cantersaddick and whilst you’ve got your counting hat on if you could just spare a second for @NapaAddick he’s having troubles working out his pocket money....
Working tomorrow and won't see this thread till 5ish and there will be 150 to 250 more hits mostly hollow and RD will still be the owner------- bored with it all

This, i'd be surprised if it is done before july
And obviously delighted.
But it's just on hear say, that's no disrespect to anyones sources, but with how things have been
Nobody really knows when and if it will be a "done deal"

It’s there a way this thread can be closed until something actually happens . It’s so annoying that look for the the first time today and there are 100’s of new comments. most of which are total nonsense.

I hope you’re right that there is an announcement tomorrow and the deal is done
I also hope soundas is right and Muir has put his hand in his pocket
However without going back through the thread
How many tomorrows have there been on this thread alone
