What I also don’t get is, why is it such a secret? I am deeply suspicious of those who do not wish to be identified. What have they got to hide?

And then it gets recycled on here and then we think because it comes from a so-called "press source" that it makes it real. But in reality, it's just our own speculation coming back to us in an echo chamber.

All we do know is no one has been on the money yet, even the newspapers. Reporters usually sniff out what is going on but they just seem to be recycling rumours. Thought they were better than that.charltonbob said:

If it’s a group of Aussies it’s a “Mob” so henceforth they will be known as the “A Mob”Redrobo said:

Is that a new collective noun? A smuttering of Australians? - it works. Although fair is not an appropriate term to use in relation to Ozzie’s at the moment.carly burn said:You'd have to say from reading the spiel on the Oz consortium website that a big part of their plans is to make whichever club they choose a household name in Australia. To do that,and I'm just speculating here, the whole set up will need a real Australian flavour to give the club some appeal back home, hence the arrival of Kewell. This would be followed I guess with a fair smuttering of Australian youngsters filtering through the academy and probably more coaches with an Oz background and sporting philosophy.
Whether that really is the best way forward for this club only time will tell I guess. The distance between the two different spheres of interest couldn't be worse geographically in my opinion.
There will be a fair amount of scepticism around on the Charlton supporters part and rightly so.
Yes it's not Duchatelet. But could we be moving from one harebraned scheme to another??
Also I think quantities of distance is more to do with a matter of fact than opinion.0 -

Mob is the collective word for a group of kangaroos, so there you have it from @TEL whose let one slip, so obviously ITK and conclusive proof it's a consortium of kangaroos.TEL said:

Just to lift the mood I'll add some moreArsenetatters said:So....
we thought it would happen:
end of November
December 5th
by Xmas
by the New Year
before the end of the Jan transfer window
in a couple of weeks
by the end of February
early this week
before the end of this week
I'm wondering if a pattern is beginning to emerge?
in the next 2 weeks
before the end of April
before the end of the season
before the start of the pre season friendlies
before the start of the season
and repeat......
You should get a promote for that. Most accurate post on the thread, regardless of what some of the ballbag mods thinkArsenetatters said:

Richard Murray has apparently warned Lee Bowyer that Mondays home game against Rotherham could be his last as caretaker manager.3

Disclaimer: I am not "in the know" and don't claim to be, the above is a poor attempt at a joke to bolster my "lols". The local and national press should not believe this and make no attempt to repeat this in any of their publications.

Made a delivery of sandpaper to the training ground yesterday, Bowyer had them practicing free kicks with someone I thought looked like Kewell.
I’m not in know though just passing on what I saw.
Also looked like Murray was warning them not to use sandpaper for Monday’s game.7 -

As if Murray knows what's happening.No.1 in South London said:Richard Murray has apparently warned Lee Bowyer that Mondays home game against Rotherham could be his last as caretaker manager.
Bexley Boy has been more accurate than him in the past couple of months.8 -
Murray the great motivator. I know that it's paper talk but this does make you question his judgement (yet again).
Surely it would be better to say something like 'Look, the takeover could drag on for many weeks even months, enjoy yourself, do your best to keep us winning games and you never know what might happen'.1 -

“Could be”. As in could be next week?No.1 in South London said:Richard Murray has apparently warned Lee Bowyer that Mondays home game against Rotherham could be his last as caretaker manager.
And who is this fountain of information? Presumably someone that Bow can trust to keep his mouth shut.0 -
If the internet has taught me anything about forums, there is an awful lot of people who crave self importance. I’m sure there is one or two on here,(or other sites), who know a bit and they either keep it to themselves or are a tad economic with what they share.Redrobo said:I still cannot fathom out how some in the know can tel us who the manager will be, who the chairman will be, how much was paid for the club, and when the deal is going to go through; but still no one has much of a clue as to who it is.
What I also don’t get is, why is it such a secret? I am deeply suspicious of those who do not wish to be identified. What have they got to hide?
Logic tells me that there will be a new owner/s at some point, there always will be. Our current owner is not exactly in the first flush of youth and any interest in our club has clearly lessened, not that there seemed much to start with. I wouldn’t have thought he enjoys his days pondering on how he can make Charlton successful or wind the supporters up for another week.
Like you I find a lot of what I read unbelievable. But it helps to pass a few minutes a day.6 - Sponsored links:

An Easter takeover would be apt, as we would be getting rid of a bad egg.0

This isn't the place for sensible considered posting. Can we stick to speculation, conjecture, hyperbole and pot noodles please!charltonkeston said:

I'm surprised Murray hasn't dropped a little hint that it might be - from his parallel universe, on a distant moon that orbits planet Roland.Stig said:I so wish it could be today. Not just Good Friday, but the Best Bloody Friday Ever.

If Bowyer wins the next two that should change matters - I know a new owner has to line things up and plan, but they should also react to the situation - it is how Duchatelet went wrong from the very beginning!1
