    It could have been Murray who funded the tour for all we know, as for all his failures, he still wants the team to do well

    Thanks Macronate, was just about to post that. FFS, what are we getting ourselves into? At least with Twoshats we only have to put up with naff dad dancing, duct tape stories and a complete incompetence in football related matters!

    I am loathe to ask a question about this, mainly as it will boost the post and page count, but...... @Airman Brown is it your understanding that this effort by Roly to retain the land assets has come about due to the buyers cash shortfall? As they have lost investors they can't afford the asking price and so to hurry the sale along he is trying to force them to buy the club without The Valley and Sparrows Lane or is he just being a git?

    Think you've answered your own question here as Roland is 100% a git

    Oh yes, I see that was a long winded and rather stupid question.

    My worry about a potential British bid is that it’ll include Richard Murray.

    Yep and we know he will be all too happy to allow his buddy RD to keep ownership of The Valley. RM is just as bad as RD for me now.

    Cawley tweeting that we are now going away on a pre-season tour, imagine this means the takeover is even further away :(

    How do you get that?
    Just me reading between the lines, RD suddenly agreeing to send the players away sounds like the takeover isnt about to happen. I may be wrong, was just the impression I got.
    As apparently his first reaction to the takeover not going ahead when he expected it to was to start a cash only fire sale of players and suggest other cost cutting in the club would he now send the players away on a (Spanish?) tour if he thought the takeover isn't about to happen?

    Could be the exact opposite of that?

    That's Plan B if the Aussie takeover collapses this week....

    Does anyone else find it strange that we know more about the Aussie bid/people involved than we do the British one? I get that the Aussies have probably been in the process for longer and may be further along, but still you would think there would be a much bigger chance of someone on here knowing somebody linked to a British bid than to an Aussie one.

    We know more about the moon and outer space than we do about the bottom of the oceans on earth.

    But we know more about the bottom of the oceans on earth than we do about the takeover.

    I heard the second group is Red Bull and they want to move us to a brand new 'Pot Noodle Arena' on the peninsula.

    1000 pages 'sale of Charlton' will generate an oxymoron.

    Bitter sweet.

  • If the price is 40m, why did the saudis not get 40.5m accepted? Or was the price more then?

    No idea, but I imagine it was RD dicking around as usual.

    @Airman Brown I've read your latest VOTV article and it's given me some hope if I've understood it correctly. Can you reassure me please?

    - it only needs one ex director to refuse the debt to be cleared by RD and he can't lease out the Valley

    - the ex-directors can refuse to have the debt paid (this bit I don't get)

    Thank you
