Left The Valley feeling that life was better than when I went in. That feeling has been a rarity this season.10

Am I right to question that if Kewell was to be our Manager Monday, he’d have left Crawley by now?2

If nothing is agreed yet I would think that a Monday announcement is looking highly unlikely.seth plum said:Nothing is agreed until everything is agreed.
What I heard is that we should let go of confusion about which of two Australian interested parties we are talking about, and my conclusion is that it is the 'good' one. I also heard a plausible reason why the good one might have prevailed, and it was less about money than about other reasons. Philanthropy is a beautiful thing, but it can have many facets to it.
BUT
Nothing is agreed yet, nothing.
But I feel hopeful.0 -

I go in via the players entrance and as I was going in there were 2 guys and a lady coming out. I held the door open for them and both guys thanked me with an unmistakeable antipodean twang.
Once the game kicked off the first bloke, hereafter referred to as Bruce, and his Sheila were in the Directors box.
Could just be coincidence or a couple of visitors. Who knows. I guess we’ll all find out soon

No pictures of the directors box... I am very disappointed.1

Not wishing to dampen spirits but former director David White (owed £250k on his secured loan) earlier on today in this thread, posted that he was about to go on holiday, the club was a shambles and would be in the same state once he has returned or words to that effect. Make of that what you will.0

Was Murray there today?0

Actually, that's not quite what he said.RedChaser said:Not wishing to dampen spirits but former director David White (owed £250k on his secured loan) earlier on today in this thread, posted that he was about to go on holiday, the club was a shambles and would be in the same state once he has returned or words to that effect.

"Not at Charlton today as off to sunnier climes so good luck and hopefully the clubs is less of a basket case on my return. I have my doubts! #cafc"
He doesn't say it would be still a shambles, he has hopefully it wouldn't be but he had doubts.

Not sure how much he would really know about the intentions of the Aussies though?RedChaser said:Not wishing to dampen spirits but former director David White (owed £250k on his secured loan) earlier on today in this thread, posted that he was about to go on holiday, the club was a shambles and would be in the same state once he has returned or words to that effect.

Maybe he's even suggesting something entirely different, that a deal won't be done while he's away?0 -
Didn't see him in the Directors' Box but probably wouldn't have been able to see him from where we were sitting.dingdong said:Was Murray there today?
However, he was walking behind the West Stand when we left around 6.15 and 3 of our "gang" stopped to speak with him.
I held back as I wasn't sure how I'd react to what he had to say.
I could hear how enthusiastic he was about today's performance but what caught my attention most was when he was asked about the takeover, he replied that there were 2 investors still in the game and that he believed it was down to their legal teams to get one of them over the line.
Please don't take my words as verbatim but he definitely said that 2 prospective buyers were still involved in the process.
Now, my immediate reaction was that he was bullsh*tting again based on the nebulous statements he's uttered in recent months but it's only human to wonder whether he's in the know or not at this stage.
I have since read David White's tweet which has made me nervous all over again.....
Observations, please, guys.3 -

So you there today then Fanny. Missed not seeing you in your usual seat as I was going to congratulate you for your heroic effort going to Blackpool. Not slumming it with the rest of the hoi polloi then !Fanny Fanackapan said:
