So what the actual fuck is going on, other then collective willy waving by some?4

Excellent - the fish are back.Airman Brown said:
At no point have either Doucher or NLA said the Aussies would buy the club. At no point have they disclosed any of the names involved or detail of the actual deal. They have posted a number of red herrings about due diligence and ex-directors’ loans and the Aussies not having the money.Stu_of_Kunming said:
Surely as they called ir right, they were the one's who'd dug out what was really happening.Airman Brown said:
Pretty much spot on IMO.East_Stand_Loopy said:Jesus, everybody, do some of you think that Muir et al turned up wearing scarves, ties, etc. at the play off games, just to wind up supporters? Not a great way to heal rifts, is it?
Now, every time anyone on here, mentions something they've heard, or even something they've made up, there is another spate of expecting Airman to have the answers, and a collective wailing and rending of garments...
Now, I am in no way ITK, but it is going to happen, in its own time, and subject to certain vagaries of bureaucracy grinding exceeding slowly.
Can't everybody just take a (strong) chill pill, and relax? It'll all turn up right in the end...
Have to laugh at people crediting Doucher and NLA with bringing information here - IIRC neither have ever brought anything to the table, just denied what other people were saying. That’s rather easier than actually digging out what is happening. It’s the difference between running down and up hill.
It's the difference between being right or wrong, not any hill.
It’s not about who’s in the know or otherwise, but the sum total of their contribution has been “not yet”. Fair enough, you can argue they have been more accurate than Murray on that, but without the detail of what it is, what does it amount to?
Just to show how things are for me, waiting for the takeover, I'm presently reading Samuel Pepys diary. He's just had a red herring for dinner. He's also been out clubbing - the first known use of the word - which is remarkable. I'd have guessed the word originated from the 1920s, the Jazz Age, rather than the 1660s.

Dear oh dear.Airman Brown said:
Appreciate you know nothing about the fanzine market, but tweeting things between issues (or putting stuff online here or at www.votvonline.com) doesn’t sell extra copies of issues that don’t contain the relevant information.nth london addick said:
Hell have no fury like an ITK scorned with a fanzine to sellAFKABartram said:We’ve got em worried lads....
Maybe next time you write imminent AB or Done Deal you’ll research your source and facts
But hey it sold you a few and made you a few quid and those that wait on your every word will still do so
If you flip the coin over to what you just posted
It’s not easier to post it’s not happening when you and others were pissing your pants you’d had a snippet that made you still seem to have a relevant source of knowledge
In fact two lone voices saying wait it’s not close no fee has been agreed and even up to the weekend you posted done deal I knew of two parties who were meeting those involved selling the club for the first time
Don’t worry you will soon be in the Guiness book of records for the longest imminent done deal ever
If anything it’s counter-productive, but other than revealing Muir on the front cover last August - a scoop that now looks likely to be the biggest of the whole saga, although it met a muted response at the time - I’ve generally not kept significant stuff back for publication. Timelines don’t suit it and I was more interested in sharing what I’d heard.
If I only wanted to maximise fanzine sales I would never disclose or comment on anything online, but the world isn’t that simple for most people.1 -

My 2 year old has literally just said to me
"Dad, It will happen when it happens. Don't stress on it like the others. Charlton Life is just full of imbeciles bickering with each other. To quote Joyce Meyer, 'Patience is not simply the ability to wait - it's how we behave while we're waiting' "

@charltonnick sent me this photo, taken this morning with this comment
"Looks like there's going to be a big barbie, maybe an Australian style news conference"
My first thought was look at the state of those pot holes.14 -
Personalities aside, I think we collectively underestimate how well we’ve done to get information out, particularly as the club was actively misleading people. I’ve been talking to people on papers local and national throughout and they struggled to get anything.
Not only was Meire claiming publicly that the club was not for sale, they were giving off the record briefings that reports to the contrary were not true. That made it very difficult and it’s to the credit of certain reporters in particular that they refused to use these unattributed denials. But the media found it very difficult to get into the story.
The biggest objection on here in the autumn was why aren’t mainstream media reporting it if things are happening. The truth is that some tried but didn’t have the sources. Collectively the fans did. The fact what has come out has sometimes been contradictory doesn’t negate that.23 -
Have we ascertained who has the biggest E-Penis yet?

You just know that gleaming cruise ship will pull up alongside and as we scramble aboard past its name on the side of the hull... RMS TITANIC.KillersBeard said:We have been adrift in a sea of despair for what seems like an eternity and in the past few months have had people throwing in life belts and life rafts in an attempt to keep us buoyant whilst we wait for the gleaming cruise ship to appear on the horizon to pull us in, dry us down and go full steam ahead to a happier place.
Now admittedly we have some people who claim to have bigger rafts than others and equally some of the belts have been caught in the wind and missed the target and some have been no more than seaside rubber rings which were as welcome as industrial strength shark bait.
But as one of the many thousands bobbing along, waiting to be rescued, I am grateful of any attempt to drag me out of these murky depths, even if at times the rope has been too short or what appeared to be Captain Dowman sailing towards me, turned out to be Captain Birds Eye!
(come on, it's got to be better than all of those house selling analogy's surely?)3 -

as they say, when it Rains it pours
keep it coming1 -
I rarely claim to be ITK (about anything, frankly) but I'd like to share a rumour I have heard. The takeover won't be announced this morning. (Or, if it is announced this morning, it will be quite late on).
Hope this helps.1 -
Rain may glisten
But still I'll listen
