Bearing in mind I know feck all, and just spend my time gleaning information on here and amongst other places, I get the feeling they are just playing silly buggers and occasionally putting out bits of misinformation and see where they end up and by whom.
He will sell, but only he knows when.
Surely a club would be worth more in the Championship if they had won promotion through astute leadership, good management, a long term strategy and optimistic support? Throwing away so many points at the end of matches, seldom scoring more than one goal, and no plan "B" may just indicate promotion was achieved by sheer good luck and the freefall of several "contenders".Pelling1993 said:The year 2043, Roland responds to the protests with Charlton 15th in the Bostick League South
So simple, a child could see it..... "P" is for Powell, Promotion and Pride, "R" is for Robbo, takes us for a Ride.
Today I have reached the age of the cottage on the Isle of Wight (achieved!), and scrimp and save (achieved!). Just returned from Audiology, have lost a temporary filling this morning, and reckon I won't last until 2043. Why do the FA consider Waloonies fit and proper?0 -

Not a dig at @DOUCHER - just to say that while £120k may be a lot to many of us, it’s chump change to all of these parties. They won’t even blink at that. It’s the cost of being in the game.1

Any company anywhere would see £120k spent on a failed acquisition as a huge loss and failure.PopIcon said:

"All piss and wind!" A very apt saying to go with this interminable utterly Charlton takeover.
I am resigned to a summer takeover at best with the hope it is early enough to clear out Jimmy Tarbuck's stunt man and a good few of the bottlers in our squad, ready for a proper tilt at getting out of division 3.1 -

Agreed - I don't think that will happen - he wants out and wishes he never got involved in the first place so it's just all about getting the best deal he can now but can't see it going on any longer than may although if red henrys lot do become real who knows because then I guess the dd thing has to start again - anyway, pointless speculating really - it's been done to deathShootersHillGuru said:
What concerns me about that scenario is that should by some miracle we are promoted. The old goat would either think or be persuaded to give it a couple if seasons in The Championship. Fortunately I think that aspect of this saga is academic.DOUCHER said:All these different hypotheses. One thing we have to remember is that if parties have paid out circa £120k for due diligence, as RM has stated, then it would seem strange that they haven't actually got the money to follow the deal through and it would also seem strange that they would pay out all that money without knowing the criteria that would have to be met in order to close the deal. Its possible that RD has said that if you satisfy all those criteria and I decline, then I will pay back your costs (a bit like paying unsuccessful contractors tendering costs in some D&B jobs). He may decline because somebody else jumps in or he may see us getting closer to the championship or any other variety of things which might occur which makes him think he will get a better deal which will negate the paying of circa £120k, or maybe 2 lots of £120k in costs. BTW - I haven't heard any more news lately, these are just my thoughts and I still think if its not closed out very soon, then it will be done once next season's division is known.

I know that Richard Murray hasn’t promised a date or even month but he has given the impression that a deal is all but done and will be concluded pretty soon.
If we don’t get a conclusion to this epic saga within a month of his latest update he really is going to look increasingly like a complete pillock.4 -

I didn't believe him when he said February could be possible.
The thing that I can't get my head around though is by RD not having a January fire sale which could have happened (rejected bids for Konsa, Fosu, Magennis, JFC?) then surely the only reason RD didn't take the money, sell the club and run would have been because a sale was as close then as suggested by Murray with RD told he can't sell anyone.
Not that anyone wanted a firesale but in RD's mind alone surely he would have expected a sale by now too. If on 31st Jan someone had said by as late as mid March RD would still be here I'd have fully expected a firesale of the squad - which didn't happen thankfully but even worse RD is still here too.

Not really because, as you yourself said, he promised nothing.ShootersHillGuru said:I know that Richard Murray hasn’t promised a date or even month but he has given the impression that a deal is all but done and will be concluded pretty soon.

If people choose to believe it's all but done and are then disappointed when it hasn't happened yet then more fool them.
