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?
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.
I read it as that also and that’s why I don’t believe it’s at EFL fit and proper stage because if we can’t agree the price with Roland
We can’t be at EFL stage
If we have agreed a price with Roland butvits pending these two investors signing off we can’t be at EFL stage
For that reason alone
I believe and I don’t have any info other than what has been told to me in oct -May
The Aussie bid does not have the funds
Not that they won’t not that they may never but right now they don’t
It’s like the fee agreed all over again I told you for months it’s not imminent it’s not a done deal no fee agreed
I have heard and I posted it when @LargeAddick asked has a fee been agreed
yes it has
That is different to a fee being agreed and a deal done all it means is a price agreeable to both parties has been found
Now find the cash to deliver it
And they still ain’t !!!!
Let’s for one moment say you’re right. What if Muir simply up’s his stake which he can at any time if he so wishes....therefore they/he do have the funds.

Muir returning to Oz for 2 weeks could mean anything, unless you know more than you're telling.
Don't know, but you'd think something must be either happening tomorrow, or in two weeks time?
I know it's frustrating that we still don't know what's happening and when, but I'm quite sure if it's happening tomorrow they're not going to announce it through me.
WIOTOW, or whatever?
I'm just please they haven't announced they're pulling out.
Word of caution: When I asked my contact if they were gutted we didn't get promoted, they said no, this a long term deal. When I talked about the transfer window already being open, they shrugged and said exactly the same thing.
Basically their attitude is that the speed of the takeover is something they can't control, so why get stressed about it.
Of course they haven't had to sit through two season of League One football already :-(

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...
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!

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.

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!

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.

In the meantime.
Just sell the club and FUCK OFF
I don't see him going back to Oz as meaning either a deal now or in two weeks.
But all that stuff about it depending on what division we are in proving to be false, otherwise it would have happened already.
On yer bike !

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
