Why's that? Has @JamesSeed heard anything about them not coming back??? Or the thread has so many new posts every day that I missed it?ecclesaddick said:do we no for sure if the aussies are coming back to the uk this weekend I dont think they will
Sometimes I think that is the funniest moment in British sitcom. One of them anyway.
Unfortunately I have to borrow another line. ‘I know nothing’.
Last thing I heard everything was fine, but if it was all going horribly wrong I think they’d be highly unlikely to tell me, if I’m honest.
I have asked a question, but it’s five in the morning over there.1 -

Ok so about five or six hours before they wake up, an hour or two to get up and have breakfast, an hour to read the paper, an hour to fire up laptop and sift through the email, 30 seconds to read mine, and another 30 seconds to decide not to answer it.JessieAddick said:

So I reckon at about ten o’clock tomorrow I’ll be as much ITK as I am now.8 -

Yes, I've had a message from he who must not be named, and he has exclusively revealed to me (it's all about me of course), that..... you know what, I'll let him speak for himself .....

I think u may have missed the thrust of what I said - it's not a done deal - I.e no finalised agreement between rd and the aussiesJamesSeed said:We've had two bits of possible info:
1. from Doucher that there's a meeting at the weekend and that there will be a delay for a couple of weeks.
2. from redhenry saying the EFL have rejected the bid.
1. was nothing that exciting as we know Muir and Murphy are coming back soon, and delays are always possible.
2. might just be the same info we've had before i.e. that there's a query about a couple of points, so not a terminal problem.
I'm going with the Henry G & T advice at this stage.
PS Have messaged Aus but they're asleep over there right now. May not get an answer anyway of course ;-)0 -
I don’t think @redhenry is correct in this case. I had heard someone else might be reporting on the situation today, rather than an announcement of any kind, but looks as if that’s not going to happen now. But Muir is heading back, things are still rolling on. As the man said, don’t panic!East_Stand_Loopy said:

I don't know - chicken and egg I guess - u can't sign a contract until the league have okayed things and until a contract is signed, it's not done I guess so always room for shenanigins from either partyLargeAddick said:

But I wouldnt have thought the EFL would give consent unless an agreement was in place otherwise they would spend valuable time on it when it may not come to fruition?12

Exactly my thoughts, hence why I have my doubts as to what has been sent/lodged with the EFL.LargeAddick said:But I wouldnt have thought the EFL would give consent unless an agreement was in place otherwise they would spend valuable time on it when it may not come to fruition?
They approved done deals, they are not a vetting agency for potential owners.
Still time will tell.4 -

Agreed but I am only passing on what I was told - there is a bit more as to who's moving the goalposts and what the concerns are but I am not obliged to say and cannot be arsed with all the bollox that always ensues after - lets just hope things get thrashed out next weekLargeAddick said:But I wouldnt have thought the EFL would give consent unless an agreement was in place otherwise they would spend valuable time on it when it may not come to fruition?

Last full week in May - before the bank holiday. I’ve seen it suggested that both the bidder and the club have to submit documents and if that’s the case the former may have happened earlier, but I know for a fact a member of the Charlton staff (acting on behalf of RD as the current owner) submitted the relevant papers before the bank holiday.blackpool72 said:

If I ever had the pleasure(?) to shake hands with RD, I would check after to make sure I still had my hand and he had not slipped any IOU's into iteaststandmike said:
To be fair CEL I doubt there is any one at the club that has a clue what is going on. My take has always been that RD is talking to the Aussies, the Aussies are talking to RD however a firm deal has not been agreed upon, a fee has not been agreed and no hand shakes have taken place.Covered_End_Lad said:I do wish we all supported a club that kept its fans up to date with things like this.
Whatever paperwork has been sent to the EFL is a mystery which is why I have always questioned this assumption.3 -

He went back for two weeks, and the two weeks aren't up yet. My contact (sorry to keep saying 'contact') also went back, to do work on his other business interests. If it was strictly two weeks, that would mean travelling back this weekend. It's a long old flight though. And things could have changed of course. Maybe because of problems with the EFL they're coming back early? If there really is a meeting on the 9th, then that could be the case.ross1 said:
