    Really appreciate your comments James Seed but back off on your cringe factor with I’m first this that and the other , it’s not pretty

    Agreed. You and @Airman Brown are right, but it just felt a bit creepy seeing this info appearing a few days later like that. But apparently he had that info confirmed today, hence his tweets. Good stuff. It really is about to happen, isn't it.
    Relax jimmy - Cawley is just reiterating what I said last week which is no surprise coz he gets told a few days after I do normally. OAFDUMP, however annoying that may be for some.
    Just so we can all chill out, Rich now has contact with consortium and after speaking to them (and another party today) was able to put out those tweets today. The fact they they mirrored what I heard from GM isn’t surprising therefore.
    I apologised to Rich for jumping to the wrong conclusions. Oddly, I wasn't following him on Twitter but I am now. In fact, he didn’t mention anything I’d put out until he’d had it confirmed by Aussies and others. Proper journo.
    What Doucher has got to do with this I have no idea l, as I didn’t notice him putting out the same info as I put out?
    I’m not going to have to hassle my old mate for info now, which is good news.
    have you ever previously named Gerald Murphy as your source?



    WTF is Gerald Murphy anyway
    not a source of anything to do with any takeover of CAFC I'll warrant.

    How difficult is it to copy somebody's name correctly?
  • Big week this one, one way or t’other

    And I'm off on holiday. The gilfriend will get very angry of I spend the whole time on this site waiting for it to happen.

    Then again I did pay for the holiday as she's still a student (scrounger sponger etc.) So I'm probably within my rights to tell her to fuck off.
    All sounds a bit fishy to me Canters!'
    Yeah... "girlfriend" ok righto :wink:

    No he isn’t.

    But really appreciate you not calling me johnnie. Cheers for that.

    But actually, I’m just being to appreciate that you are just being funny. A wind up, but a humorous one at least.

  • What we must remember, is that a this time of the year, apart from anyone buying season tickets, there is no money coming in. The players and staff still have to be paid, so who is paying them, RD at the moment, as soon as the Aussies take over they will have to pick up the wage bill and other ongoing bills, (water, electricity, etc), so perhaps they are stalling as long as possible so their cost will be smaller, after all, they would have already agreed a price with RD. No wonder RD wants the deal finished

    Blimey the council tax bill doesn’t come in ‘til April does it?

    if they are worried about an extra month's wage/water/electricity bill then we really are even more fucked with the Aussies!!!

    RD might be here because he is staying on and he needs to put things in place at the club.
    As we speak he is the status quo, and we're going down down deeper and down.

    You really know how to Rain on our parade FFS
    I Should Have Known better than to open up this effing thread. I must have been here 4500 Times but that cancerous reptile who thinks he's such a Big Man is still Calling The Shots. I don't want to be Burning Bridges but Enough Is Enough perhaps it's time to accept that It Can't Be Done, we've reached The End Of The Line, put simply there is No Contract. The rose-tinted specs wearers on here are gonna say this post is gonna Break The Rules but it Doesn't Matter what you've all been Dreamin', Whatever You Want it ain't about to happen, there ain't about to be no Resurrection. Most Of The Time, I Don't Think It Matters but Again & Again I've read through all the well intentioned stuff, the Lies and the shit-stirring WUM drivel and it's sent me right Over The Edge, I'm a Broken Man.
    But no more, it's Over & Done, I know What To Do: I'm Giving Up My Worrying, no more walking around Like A Zombie. It would be Magic if this Ring Of Change actually heralded a takeover. One thing's for sure: it's Never Too Late for CAFC's Hard Time to come to an end.
    Til then 7pm every day is Marguerita Time.
  • We sell a player this month.

    You say an extra month, but RD expected this to go through in February, according to RM
  • Suspect they know there is a potential bump in season ticket revenue if they come in, and recruit the right manager
  • I'm pretty sure no deals will be allowed while the takeover is in process. Bauer off to Blackburn is an example.

    Had a little nose at another site earlier (had a good wash since) and saw you defending yourself - well done. Saudi prince was the other bid then?

    Also, someone on there reckons the delay is down to someone on the Charlton side, rather than the Aussies or EFL.

    Murray apparently. If true, he really has lost all credit he built up whilst chairman.

    He has previous there.
  • How the fuck is it possible that Murray is holding things up. He has zero say.

    Desperately trying to stay at the top table? Busy creating problems, that "Hey Presto!" only he can fix?

  • Correct me if i am wrong, but i have not heard about any due diligence, when i worked for a firm that got sold, the company was overrun with people checking stock, measuring the site. Key staff were interviewed.
    Also list of assets made. Surely if this had happened someone at the Training Ground, Club shop, ticket office would have leaked something!

    I think if this does not happen by then of this month, we can forget promotion, we will be lucky not to drop down to DIV2

    Thought due diligence was done a long time ago.

    That happened back in October/November 2017 as far as we know.

    Richard Cawley


    #cafc takeover update. It is hoped - and I must emphasise that word - that the takeover will happen this week. But, but, but - there are variables that mean this is not definite.

    I've been told that nothing issue-wise on the 'fit and proper' EFL test. But Andrew Muir's consortium have had to be patient in this process. #cafc

    @RichCawleySLP

    Muir flew back into the UK before the weekend. Duchatelet not slowing deal - he just wants to offload #cafc.

    So what's stopping the deal from going through? Both parties want it to happen.
    It does beg that question.

    The Aussie have been on the scene since March 17 and Duchatelet expected a sale in at least as far back as January 18 as he didnt see any need to replace Meire as he was about to sell.

    Money, either the lack of or disagreement on price I guess. The "when we know what division we are in" never made sense with the lack of replacement for Meire six months ago and make no sense now given the deal still hasn't been announced.

    It feels to me like the fat lady is clearing her throat.
    I guess all will be revealed, and my guess it'll all be very tedious. I was told it's all to do with Slater/Jiminez era.
    They also said they've been working on this deal for two years, which is why they've spent £1m so far.
    Let's hope they're quicker at doing deals to sign players then, seeing as we need at least 8 or 9 in the next 7 weeks.

    No they're not worried about this. If they were I'd rather they bought a different club.

    Why do you think they are? It was only speculation by someone. Pretty sure they're not.
  • The Cawley update is re-assuring, but there is clearly a variable that we don't know here and without it, nothing makes sense. It will be good to know what it was at a later date!

    Agreed, the variable must be the involvement of people who have a stake in other clubs. That's my view reading between the lines.

    "Must" is a bit strong IMHO

    It could be but could also be other issues around the bonds, division of ownership within the consortium, liabilities, insurance, leases, the museum, the uncompleted work at the training ground or just someone spelt Gerard as "Gerald" and the EFL sent all the info back.
