That's the most accurate information about the takeover I've heard in a long time
Best I can come up with :-( Looking forward to seeing it re-posted on another forum, with a hilarious comment from dick plum or carly burn next to it ;-)
You are so sensitive. It is Plumb by the way, not Plum. He was an ex Charlton player. I have a lot of time for Carly Burn, she always tells it how it is. While I am here I would like to say that I overdid the criticism of you on here and NOT606. I do not know you and my comments went too far. I will not post any of your posts on that other forum in future.
Fair enough. Appreciate it.
I know it was Plumb btw. It was just my poor attempt at hilarity.
A lot of the online nastiness is caused by attempts at humour being misconstrued by people, and a lot could be solved by face to face meetings over a beer - but the opportunities are few and far between.
There are some people spreading lies about me on other forums, which has been quite upsetting. Does that make me over sensitive? I was accused of being a 60 year old lifelong Millwall fan trying to cash in on the family name by lying (my beer meeting) in order to get people to read my clickbaity blog. That's deeply personal, and a hell of an accusation. Probably libellous. No one who knows me would say that's true. But some people read that stuff and believe it, and then pop onto CL to have a dig at me, as if they were a bit of a hero entering the lion's den (irony), and then report back to the forum they came from. I've never had any ads on the blog, and I was a fan of Millwall between the ages of six and nine until Jimmy Seed died and I stopped going. Lost interest in football until the 80s. The reasons for my return are personal and family related, and it just happened. Happy to explain further, but not here.
I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
From my reckoning only me and NLA have been 100 per cent right so far although I'm sure many will disagree - not that it matters. It will happen.
If it doesn't matter why keep saying it?
What have I reported that's been wrong btw? The Aussies thought end of May, but they also said they're patient.
They also said they have money, and you or NLA haven't proved that they haven't.
Your mate saying he thinks they haven't isn't proof.
calm down johnny, it doesn't matter
This is why you’re an unlikeable character, deliberately calling him the wrong name again. Even after he corrected you. I know this is part of your persona being rude to people. But you do yourself no favours but I guess that’s how you like it.
calm down, i'm never rude to people - a bit of 'banter' with those who have given me a bit of 'banter' previously - you've not liked me since i disrespected a raffle or something you were organising
If you had disrespected my raffle then i would have found that unforgiveable, though i don't remember organising a raffle. I don't really like your banter, I'm told you are here for a wind up and I can confirm you are doing a very good job at it.
Any chance everyone can stop finger pointing about whose right and whose wrong? Didn't realise there was a prize at the end for who was most right.
Feel sorry for those who try and help everyone out by providing news on how things are progressing, which we are all desperate for, only to suffer abuse and slander if what they are told by someone else isn't 1000% bang on.

That’s rude, personal dig and completely out of order.
so calling me unlikeable is okay and accussing her of organising a raffle isn't - people are very tetchy on here at the moment
Perhaps tomorrow you might re-read your post and realise how childish you’ve become. Shame as I’ve liked your posts on the takeover.
Nope - my posts are tongue in cheek but those who have e been sniping st me throughout like chizz for instance are getting the hump because I'm being proved not to be a WUM, just somebody who posts what he knows for this board from info gained from people who do know as much as anyone about things
Absolutely classic wriggling from Doucher. Text book stuff. Take a bow, sir!

Never ever disrespect a women's raffle. Its a life rule.

You referred to something very similar as resorting to name calling, earlier.

However, I didn't know any of this had happened, as I only read Charlton Life, so I can see why you might not have realised what I said was a joke.
Assuming they did nothing before the Bank Holiday today is day 9 since the EFL have been looking at the deal.
Considering we are being told by those "in the know" that RD & the buyer have not reached a firm agreement and that a price has not been agreed I am not sure what the EFL are doing?
lets just draw a line under all the digging and sniping please. Its starting to get a bit painful to read. I'm grateful to anyone who posts either their own thoughts or what they have been told.
If someone posts something you don't agree with, or think is incorrect, then debate it. In a civil fashion. It really isn't that difficult.
If you can't do that however, then just read and don't respond

No need to justify yourself.
I find it sad that some have questioned your loyalty to Charlton based on the fact that your grandfather was a board member at Millwall and took you there when you were young.
Its a shame Charlton hadn't shown him the respect he deserved during his lifetime.
Can everyone just respect each other? We all want a positive outcome.
I’m thinking of starting an Amnesty Thread similar to an Amnesty Bin (to combat knife crime) All nasty digs can go on there and cleanse the takeover thread

From what I can see there must be some party putting out false (or at least partially false) information.
We have multiple sources saying paperwork is with the EFL We have 1 or more sources saying no deal has been done.
The two are mutually exclusive, unless the second source simply means final contracts haven't been signed.
The idea that the Aussies don't have the money doesn't hold much water. They've spent over a million pounds so far and taken over a year to get to this point. Assuming they're not insane then they simply must have the money or would have walked away by now.
The season ticket news plus Muir being back in the country and paperwork already with EFL would point to a 11th June announcement. Either that will happen, or RD is seriously screwing with the Aussies and still hoping someone will gazump them, using whatever channels he has available to send out the "no deal done" message.
I think the “Aussies have no money” misnomer comes from those who were hoping @Redhenry mob of Arabs would prevail. I’m sure this Aussie consortium will spend far more on the team than any previous owner
This is taking the absolute pot noodle! I feel CATO (Coalition against the ozzies) need to organise a 2 week protest in Australia because they are ruining our pre-sesason!
One paragraph I noticed is this: The EFL does not comment on individual cases, but its rules require football club owners to provide information about the financial consequences of a change of ownership and 'evidence of the source and sufficiency of any funds' to be invested.
Not anything new to us but... maybe the reason that their takeover moved swiftly was Ellis Short's decision to write off the debts which made the whole process much easier and simpler for the EFL. Whereas our owner defintely won't do the same so the financial situation is complicated and therefore it probably could take months...
To be honest it's daunting to think it could take that long. Time is slipping away and our 2018-19 season will seriously suffer if RD doesn't eff off within a month.

Bit hypocritical of you to say that now. But lets move on.

It's an irregular plural.
We have multiple sources saying paperwork is with the EFL
We have 1 or more sources saying no deal has been done.
The two are mutually exclusive, unless the second source simply means final contracts haven't been signed.

Oh I feel better now.
Carry on.
The article is dated 30 April 2018. In the end the EFL approval process lasted only three weeks? That was much faster than the article suggested.
One paragraph I noticed is this:
The EFL does not comment on individual cases, but its rules require football club owners to provide information about the financial consequences of a change of ownership and 'evidence of the source and sufficiency of any funds' to be invested.
Not anything new to us but... maybe the reason that their takeover moved swiftly was Ellis Short's decision to write off the debts which made the whole process much easier and simpler for the EFL.
