    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.

    He’ll be traveling First Class, which means a chauffeured limo from anywhere in London to Heathrow, plus he wouldn’t have to check in 2 hours before departure, more like an hour or even a bit less.
    He could even get a chopper from Battersea.
    Private jet, surely?

    Although probably one of these - all he can now afford!

    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.

    Surely that deserves a promote

    I've heard from my sources that it's a ''DONE DEAL''

    Stay tuned!

    Oh dear... I wasn't clear enough this was a joke. I thought the words 'done deal' were a give away!

    (Although this does prove - as somebody else said on here earlier - after 800 pages none of us really know what is going on)

    Stop believing everything you're all told, would have thought after 800 pages we'd all have learnt that done deal means jack on here.

    Bring on the flags...
    love it !! been busy all evening & spent the last 20 mins reading thd last 6 pages. When I read your first post & the subsequent outpourings of joy I just thought.."anyone could post that for a laugh" and disregarded it.

    I'm glad if fooled some people. Makes up for all the juvenile fish puns.

    fwiw I believe @JamesSeed. It might not happen tomorrow but it's close, very close.

    Captain Birdseye was the last investor and he's given the green light hence the announcement tomorrow.

    Fish fingers available at the ground from next season.

    In that case, keep an eye out for one of these today...

    @Bedsaddick don't bother with this thread if you just want news of the takeover, that's what the bitesize one is for. All of life's rich tapestry is found herein, and fish.

    I think we need a list of all the George Cross recipients.

    The only one I've visited is Malta.

    We have been given genuine informative information by Mr Seed. With that information and a knowledge of Muir's travel itinerary, he has speculated that he might want to get the deal announced before he jets of back to Oz for a couple of weeks. With the same information, we could speculate that the deal won't be announced at this late stage as it would probably have been announced yesterday.

    If nothing happens today, this will not be a reason to doubt what we have been told. It will just be that James Seed's interpretation of what might happen was wrong, not the information behind it. We have all been speculating for an eternity and the facts he has given us can add up to different scenarios. But they remain re-assuring and positive.

    I assume the question was “can you redesign the bike”. It would have been better just to say “no”. No need to prove it.

    As of yesterday evening no press conference was planned at the Valley today.

    Not that you need a press conference to make an announcement and a press conference can be arranged at short notice.

    Qué Sera Sera.

    A thought as to why Andrew Muir is returning home for a couple of weeks ...

    This coming week is National Reconciliation Week in Australia, a celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander culture and next weekend's round of matches in the AFL continues that celebration ...

    ... Mr Muir is a director of the Essendon Football Club ...

    ... the showpiece event of the round is the annual Dreamtime at the 'G fixture between Essendon and Richmond.

    Maybe he wants to be part of that celebration and be back for that match ... which would be a very Charlton thing to do given all of the community projects and campaigns run by the supporters, community trust, and the club.

    Colin says Muir is going home for a family celebration that has been planned for a long time.
