    There's not a single person in 800 pages who's known exactly what is going on and when - assuming it does - the club will be sold and to whom.However, everyone on this and all the other sites, and those blissfully unaware of them, will know with absolute certainty is when it is officially confirmed by the club itself.
    In the mean time carry on pissing your knickers.

    Now I may well be completely wrong here but I read James comments about the 2 investors differently.

    It came across to me that they still had to sign off on the final price/deal/ terms of agreement with Roland. Not that they still had to sign up to the project. I assume they are already on board with the project to buy us but at that point hadn't given their go ahead on the final agreement.

    Surely it wouldn't have got this far without proof of funds.

    You see and some chump was doubting your economics qualifications the other day...
    Nice one @cantersaddick and whilst you’ve got your counting hat on if you could just spare a second for @NapaAddick he’s having troubles working out his pocket money....

    We can probably just forget about having a good transfer window. Not enough time now. Although I suspect there will be time to sell Konsa.

    Why’s that then?

    I’d say right up until 645 pm tonight my contacts remember it’s more than one have been bang on the money

    I hope you’re right that there is an announcement tomorrow and the deal is done

    I also hope soundas is right and Muir has put his hand in his pocket

    However without going back through the thread

    How many tomorrows have there been on this thread alone

    I've only said it's possible.
    I've been saying for ages that it will take place manana, but who listened? Fecking nobody, that's who listened.

    There has been two “niggling” points that have been negotiated and resolved over the last week or so. The outcome of those new agreements was what had to be signed off by two of the investors. I understand that was effectively a formality hence we are where we now are on the verge of completion subject to EFL.

    No idea if JS is correct about tomorrow but let’s hope he is.

    I haven't predicted anything, I just said it's possible. It'd be great if it happened tomorrow of course!
    If it doesn't happen tomorrow, I'd just like to say, JS...


    On yer bike !

    I have a tandem Fanny. Just sayin' ......

    Maybe now that all the excitement is dying down we can get back to fish puns. I admit I swallowed Mr Seed's story hook line and sinker.

    A Promote has been awarded @JamesSeed

    This is the CL equivalent of the George Cross

    Don’t make me remove it tomorrow. You wouldn’t like me when I remove promotes...

    I hope you broke this gently to @Henry Irving

    If it was going to be tomorrow wouldn't the club have announced a press conference by now ?

    I hope it's not because I've said it's happening tomorrow @AFKABartram :-) I haven't got a clue whether it is.

    My next door neighbour (when I was much much younger) was the first man to be awarded the George Cross in 'peacetime'. And his first name was George.

    I made beef and ale pie this evening, but used pre rolled pastry. I feel slightly guilty.

    No fish involved at all.

    FFS I have just bumped into Fred Fish the world renowned comedian, famous for his seafood gags and recommended this thread and all YOU lot can talk about is an ACTUAL takeover!

    Everything crossed for tomorrow, but this is Charlton and we as fans are born to suffer...

    I'm learning that already. And to think I could be supporting Millwall.

    I must say that when Oldham were about to be taken over they issued a statement on their Twitter page that a press conference has been scheduled for something like 3/4pm. It was then announced during the conference. So we hope!!!

    They told the fans around 10am the same day that the conference was going to be later that day

    What are the times of flight departures to Australia tomorrow?
    There must be some Sherlocks on here who want to find out.
    There is a Quantas out of Heathrow at 9.15 tomorrow evening.
    Mind you, have to check in at 7.15, and also leave a couple of hours to comfortably get to the airport.
    So need to leave the Valley at 5.15pm.
    If there is no press conference by 3pm then it may not be tomorrow.
    Pure speculation on my part.

    Flying out at the weekend means, to me at least, a Saturday flight.
