    We've been wondering why Muir would be having any trouble putting the money together for this. What if HE is the one the EFL disallowed and the rest of the consortium are trying to put the money together to salvage the takeover?

    When we hit 1000 pages can we have a 24 hr truce and a game of football before going back in our trenches and lobbing truths, half-truths, lies, and brickbats again ?

    Something else to add to this, I was in a boozer in petts wood last night and spoke to Paul Elliott for a short while who was in there, he said he’s doing a lot of work down at Charlton and “watch next week” was his words.

    Well I trust your not pulling our plonker J Block because when my son tried to get information out of Elliott at the Olympic stadium last month he laughed and said my lips are sealed.
    Genuinely, I’m as sick of all this as everyone else, can tell you straight up I’m not lying.
    Just a few more questions if you don't mine ,

    What was Paul Elliott drinking ?
    Did he wink when he said 'watch next week ?
    Are you 100% sure it wasn't a dead ringer ?
    Did anyone else hear PE say these words ?
    Do you crave to be ITK ?
    Were you sober at the time ?
    Is your hearing 100 % ?
    Do you know Doucher ?

    Thanks for you time J block,
    Answers in your own time or by midday today,
    Cheers mate.
    Did you find out his favourite Pot Noodle?

    If anyone wants to know anything can they put it in a message to me please.

    When will the takeover be complete? Who will the new owners be? How much will they be investing? And who will the manager be next season, please?

    To the trolls like Dick and Stu, this was because someone asked if Muir was still in Britain twice and I didn't see it, and then two people asked how I knew my contact, and again, I didn't see it. So I'd prefer it if people could message me, if that's ok with you. You can pop back to Nick on the other forum and tell him you had a pop at me though. I'm sure he'll be proud of you. Pathetic.

    Wow, this thread is going off the reservation now.

    Some random tweet sparks a load of teeth nashing and stropping.

    We've been wondering why Muir would be having any trouble putting the money together for this. What if HE is the one the EFL disallowed and the rest of the consortium are trying to put the money together to salvage the takeover?

    Muir and others have plenty of money, they're not struggling to fund the takeover themselves - they don't want to. The investors have pooled their funds to spread the risk. Buying a 3rd division football club and taking it to the Premiership is a high risk strategy that has a good chance of failing. By getting a consortium in place the potential losses and gains are diluted - reducing the risk. I think Swansea did something similar very successfully and only declined when the consortium sold (though I might be wrong on that bit). They were certainly considered a very well run club for a number of years.

    If what we are hearing about two investors being declined by the EFL is true, then I expect a number of conversations in the background are happening re whether the other investors will stump up more cash (and therefore increase their risk exposure), whether they can find new investors to replace the funding, or whether RD will lower the price and therefore reduce the risk to the same levels previously accepted. To do this RD may decide to invest further in Charlton and clear the first charge debts on the assets (£7mil) in order to lease the valley and training ground as a long term revenue stream to compensate for a lower sale price than he finds acceptable. This seems a logical step for both parties if they can't find the right funding and risk exposure, even if it is a truly unpalatable thought for us fans.

    You've been a Charlton fan 5 minutes and you're on here telling long term Charlton fans and posters every 5 minutes how to behave and think about our club.

    Seriously wind your ego in.
    Yes and you’re just another troll. It’s always the same people. I don’t give a flying f what you think of me.
    It’s always the same shit propogsted by your leader Nick Gray. Just F off back to your sad little forum. And your middle name isn’t Charlton, unlike mine.

    An investor connected to a British club had to pull out because of those connections. A new investor is nearly in place. They’ll be buying the club and the ground.
