    He just needs to sell up. Who on earth is running the club, complete mess but hey it's a bit cheaper now we have less staff, players, fans.... Apply more duct tape until the next rip appears!
  • Evening Standard reporting that Muir has insisted the takeover is not off.

    But is it actually on?
  • Just had an email from tripadvisor telling me they've removed my review.

    Mine didn't even make it past admin.
  • There is one point we are not even discussing... who are the other possible owners in discussion and how bad might they be!!!

    They only exist in the imagination of Roland and Murray.

    Same, which is a pity as I was very pleased with it.
  • Muir is mega mega wealthy. He’s all the way here from the other side of the world. He means business. Please someone tell me this is right.

    Maybe the hold up is to give time for Judas murray to put together his own consortium ?

    Calm down everyone - its me u r supposed to b having a go at - for letting u know what's happening!!!! I want this done as much as anyone but nothing anybody does or says is going to make any difference - trust, fan on board, all that bollox - as i think varney once said ' when the team is doing well everything else does well' - fingers crossed it happens.

    Fingers crossed ? FFS you said not to panic it will happen ........ I believed you !
  • As a member of the trust who did ask questions to Richard Murray on behalf of the membership?

    Trust speak to Richard Murray regarding takeover delay https://www.castrust.org/2018/06/richard-murray-two-parties-still-negotiating/

    He claims that there is still a British party involved.

    Seems curious to me that absolutely nothing has leaked around this British interest (assuming it's not the Donald Muir one). Unless it's a British group fronting for the Saudis? Something smells dodgy.
    You could have 200 interested parties, but the problem is and always has been / will be that no one will agree to purchase at Rolys unrealistic valuation.
  • Well somebody has got close to it clearly, and if he wasn't so delusional and mad he would have bitten their hand off!

    It comes back to Duchatelet. He is asking far too much for a debt, the size of which is very largely of his own making. This due to some very poor football, player & business decisions relating to Charlton. Not that the miserable fecker will ever acknowledge that.

    My concern is that Duchatelet not finding any takers will attempt to get his money back by any means necessary including sale of the Valley, which he will need to empty of supporters by underfunding the team & driving it further down the league.

    The second paragraph has been a suspicion for a while now, especially since he got burger boy to look at the Orient development and then the JS Stand rumours. RD would be chasing lost money rather than profiting, which begs another repeated question, why did he buy de clob in the first place?
  • the trust should do a questionnaire on members views on Murray and publish the findings.

    Then he could be clear the feelings the fans have for him and for many it’s past repair.

    If it's anything like the reaction he got on the pitch before the Shrewsbury home play off leg, then it wouldn't be too clever for him.

    Anyone able to share the full article?
  • Re the Fans Forum. I’m on there through City Addicks. I emailed TR about the delayed meeting expressing disappointment especially with all the uncertainty. They delayed at first as it was a ‘busy period’, and then again later so we could ‘meet the new owners’ at the meeting. I assume the former was related to the latter.

    As things dragged on I contacted Ian Wallis (Museum rep?) sounding him out some while ago about possibly sending a group email expressing concern about the club in the context of the coming season, etc

    More recently I then sent that email to the rest of the FF and quite a few replied in support, however with each ‘false dawn’ it didn’t seem right at those moments to send anything on to the club simply because each time we expected new ownership imminently - I think the most recent moment was when we heard the EFL process had started. And after all there is the Trust and CARD not that the FF shouldn’t also do something or have a view.

    I get that people are angry and distressed about this, believe me ‘we’ are too. There is an element though particularly now Roley doesn’t appear to care and wants out, that not much we do will make a jot of difference. Probably groups like CARD and especially ROT being in Belgium will make any impact in this environment.

    .

    As you very well know @razil Ian Wallis is the Bromley Addicks rep. The museum does not have a rep on the fans forum and never has. Nor does it wish to have one.

    Muir still targeting Charlton takeover

    Evening Standard - West End Final Extra15 Jun 2018

    ANDREW MUIR still expects to complete a takeover of Charlton and a source close to the Australian insists the proposed deal has not collapsed.

    Doubts were raised when Charlton confirmed yesterday that Lee Bowyer would continue in his role as caretaker manager.

    With takeover talks dragging on, Charlton owner Roland Duchatelet has asked Bowyer to start planning for next season, suggesting he thinks a deal is not imminent.

    Muir heads a consortium that has been in talks with Duchatelet for months.
