    Abramovich would not pass the fit and proper test.

    Genuine question - on what grounds? Insufficient funds? Criminal record?

    What on Earth is going on ?

    Abramovich is going to buy us and move us to the Golan Heights, is the rumour I heard.

    Has Keith Harris ever been involved with the Aussie bird?

    Orville would be turning in his grave if he knew?

    Origin of funds?
  • If you read the Guardian's recent stories on RA's visa issues and his connections to Putin as revealed in a 2015 court case, I cannot see how he would pass the test. Or, that could just be my wishful thinking that the bar is set high for such tests.

    Pretty sure Colin and NLA have got more right than anyone else on the thread?

    Just asking...isnt the issues around the lack of renewal of his visa is because of the recent restrictions of some Russian citizens fron entering the UK after the tit for tat embassy expulsions on both sides? Wouldnt have thought the FA Fit and Proper test would be affected by such government restrictions.

    But they have been saying the opposite to one another.

    Why hasn't the club, the owner or Richard Murray made a public statement about the takeover?

    Except the 'show me the money' debate. It was never about lack of funds. The delays have been because of issues from the pre Roland era. And because there are various members of the consortium, there has had to be signing off on individual issues, which takes time. The consortium has far more money available to them than the relatively small sum required to buy Charlton.

    Colin is a tall slim fella with ginger hair and he wears cardigans.
    Not sure who he is on here.

    They very clearly had funding problems at the start of their venture.

    I know absolutely nothing about The Takeover which puts me in a prime position to speculate on all things Takeover and spew forth.

    This is how I see things with everything I don’t know

































    That’s it hope that helps.

    @JamesSeed - please forget all about this for the next few days while you take part in the bike ride to Amsterdam along with the other Addicks stalwarts.

    No doubt the thread will manage to keep ticking over in your absence.

    The very best of luck to you and of course all the riders. Great job!!

    They are waiting for @JamesSeed to get on his bike before they announce the takeover.

    I think it’s become increasingly clear in the last few months that myself @AFKABartram , @nth london addick , @DOUCHER @i_b_b_o_r_g and Colin are the five bright young individuals forming the ‘New Order’ when it comes to being In The Know on the Charlton scene. I don’t think collectively through our network of contacts home and abroad we’ve called a single thing wrong in this saga yet.

    Already we’ve been working behind the scenes with RTM and I’m proud to say ‘Charlton Thrive with the Famous Five’ will be hitting the Sunday night airwaves come August, and two of us have secured regular columns in The Mercury and the Bexley Leader for the 18/19 season.

    Hoping there are many more privileges to come. Times up old boys.
