The link below is to the tweets from Richard Cawley on May 21st that Sunderland's sale had just been approved by the EFL and Muir's consortium was next in line. He also confirmed that there is "Only one panel that sits on 'fit and proper' test":

That was only 6 working days ago (plus as we know, due to the 'spivs' opaque ownership structure and Duchatelet's failure to do 'due diligence', consideration of Charlton's takeover might be more complicated).

So shouldn't we all relax a bit?

Surely the EFL wouldn't be interested in the convoluted structure - that's an issue for the buyer. It should merely be whether or not the prospective 'person(s) with significant control' are fit and proper.

Especially, as far as we know, the ownership is no longer convoluted.

@micks1950 makes an excellent point. Six working days only.

Meanwhile Muir has gone to Oz for two weeks so pencil in week commencing 11 June for his return and the official news on the official site. I hope the story is written by @Ollywozere

Ffs. I go on holiday on the 12th and the missus will get the right hump f I spend the whole time on Charlton life reading about the takeover.

What takeover? Have I missed something?!

Wish people would stop going on about it and get back to fish puns.

This is not the time or plaice for it.

I got abuse on Not606 because they thought I couldn't spell 'place', when I used that one. lol.

They copied and pasted all my aussie stuff onto their site (are they allowed to do that?), and gave me a torrent of abuse, for reasons I don't fully understand. Someone there thinks I made it all up as clickbait. Bloody good idea for the next occasion. Must get some ads on my blog!

Poor you. A torrent of abuse? Slightly overstated. I think the reason is that some people find you pompous, self important, condescending and basically Up your own arse. Sorry for that TORRENT of abuse, just my observation. You are trying really hard to sit at the top table of the CL Royalty aren't you?
Why didn't you stay on NOT606 and argue your point? What were you doing on there anyway? If you have a problem with posters on NOT606 have it out with them, rather than flouncing back on here and moaning about it.
Rant over.

Oh
Someone's tired.

Mr Seed isn't in the 'clique' is he???????????

Actually I didn't know there's a top table of 'CL royalty'.

Is this guy for real?

... If so how do I become Charlton Life royalty?

You are CL Royalty.

Can someone start a CL Royalty thread, and we can have nominations?

I nominate @Henry Irving because according to Not606 (was it @dickplumb or his mate?) I'm obsessed with him and want to have his babies.

Don't feed the troll @JamesSeed the smallest mention or response is like food to a starving man in their mind.

So much to learn, so little time.

I *think* that's a quote from a Peter Sellers LP, but I'm not sure.

I much prefer @seth plum

A torrent of abuse from Not 606 regulars like Count Nicholas Royston Vol au Vent Vasey is something that darkens all our doors on occasion.

JS when you tire of hitting your head on a brick wall as thick as that one, the best thing to do is stop. It looks like the "active" membership on that particular forum continues to drop and therefore the attacks on other forums and their members increase in order to goad a response. Walk away.

Like I said, this is not going to be a productive transfer window.

Indeed. Patience is a virtue.

WIOTOS

Henry - if patience is a virtue I reckon we must all be saints by now!

What is a "gansey"?

It's what us elderly Celtic types call a cardigan.

Well you learn something new every day on here!

You don't get it do you. I find it actually quite funny, and a bit sad. I was shocked at first because your mate Nick Gary (banned from here, and even ITTV) clearly has a screw loose, and needs help. But each to their own if you enjoy that sort of thing.
I did argue my point. I heard about the '60 year old lifelong Millwall fan thing' and explained how I was a fan between the ages of 7 and 10, but old loony tunes wasn't interested. Never let the facts spoil a good story eh. He's a keyboard warrior who even claimed to have spoken to me, when he hasn't.
And I'm guessing you were the one who didn't get the fish pun?

I hope I'm not 'pompous, self important, condescending and basically Up my own arse.' If I am I'm truly sorry. Nobody's perfect.

Well I like you.

So do I....a lot

No idea what is said elsewhere, but please no more posts about other sites. Biting on the bait that trolls and wind-ups dangle is giving them exactly what they want and the quickest way to generate interest.

And engaging in inter-site rivalry is probably one of the most pathetic things I think you can get with these sort of communities. No idea in this instance whether Dick is being a plum or Plum is being a dick, but don’t bring it here please.

Agreed, we should stick to the fish puns lol

I can see it now

June 12th Charlton call a press conference. Fans are eatastic, it’s a dawn of a new era.

In walks Roland in a wolf of Wall Street eske swagger and boom..
