    won't argue with you guys but you do amuse me

    Mine was a genuine question though, I really don't care who blesses me with the information, there seemed to be a disconnect between what was being said.

    Depends on how things go this week I guess - the view was it will be a couple of weeks - I said last week that the deal wasn't done - until then everybody assumed it was and it was initially a case of just coming back and announcing, then it was problems with EFL - neither of those things came from me - I just said it isn't a done deal and meetings will be happening starting at the weekend.

    Really appreciate your comments James Seed but back off on your cringe factor with I’m first this that and the other , it’s not pretty

    Agreed. You and @Airman Brown are right, but it just felt a bit creepy seeing this info appearing a few days later like that. But apparently he had that info confirmed today, hence his tweets. Good stuff. It really is about to happen, isn't it.
    Relax jimmy - Cawley is just reiterating what I said last week which is no surprise coz he gets told a few days after I do normally. OAFDUMP, however annoying that may be for some.
    Just like I said the other day, GSKFOVEKDHSK, okay everyone, GSKFOVEKDHSK.

    How do you know when Cawley was told? It may be that he waited until today to share the info, for whatever reason.

    yet it's been with the EFL for a couple of weeks now.

    No-one reiterates what you say Doucher.
    To be fair he/she did say last week,,,,..... "don't panic it will happen" & I did say in my post "it will happen" because how can he be wrong with that prediction :smiley:

    true but very unlikely
    I know of many occasions where Richard Cawley has received info but not rushed to publish it, because the source has asked him to hold back the information or because he has been checking the information before publishing.
    This is true. I know for fact he held back on this piece last year from someone well connected to senior management. He was beaten to it by The Independent in the end. Better to be safe than sorry Rich.

    Big week this one, one way or t’other

    And I'm off on holiday. The gilfriend will get very angry of I spend the whole time on this site waiting for it to happen.

    Then again I did pay for the holiday as she's still a student (scrounger sponger etc.) So I'm probably within my rights to tell her to fuck off.
    Yes, but you won't will you?

    Probably not. I'm a pussy.
    You seem like a very confused young man!

    Just so we can all chill out, Rich now has contact with consortium and after speaking to them (and another party today) was able to put out those tweets today. The fact they they mirrored what I heard from GM isn’t surprising therefore.
    I apologised to Rich for jumping to the wrong conclusions. Oddly, I wasn't following him on Twitter but I am now. In fact, he didn’t mention anything I’d put out until he’d had it confirmed by Aussies and others. Proper journo.
    What Doucher has got to do with this I have no idea l, as I didn’t notice him putting out the same info as I put out?
    I’m not going to have to hassle my old mate for info now, which is good news.

    His tweets today were from info received this morning.

    Thanks Seth, if the takeover goes through I’ll settle for a little less.

    Summary 11 June 2018

    I thought I would cut and paste @AFKABartram 's summary from the bite sized thread for the benefit of those that don't read that.

    Since @JamesSeed told us that potential buyer Andrew Muir was flying back to Oz two week ago there has been much speculation over the progress of the EFL fit and proper test, much of it contradictory.

    @addickted said it had been returned but with "two qualifications" although it wasn't clear if these were major or minor issues.

    Others, including @Redhenry, said they had heard the test has been failed.

    @Airman Brown hinted that there might be some sort of news on Friday 8th June, the day before the club's 113th anniversary but that didn't happen. However the good Airman was upbeat and advised Addicks to "don't panic" The use of the Dad's Army image, rather than a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy towel was culturally significant but in no way related to any takeover.

    With the Aussies predicted two week return happening at weekend just gone (8/9th June) @JamesSeed was able to make fresh contact with his buddy in the consortium. Jim then told us

    "I messaged my contact about rumours that the EFL had somehow blocked the sale, but he said they are 'absolutely not true. We are working through the process and are hoping to be in a position to make an announcement later this week.'"

    On Monday 11 June Richard Cawley from the South London Spanner tweeted almost the same information regarding a hoped for deal this week but was understandably cautious "#cafc takeover update. It is hoped - and I must emphasise that word - that the takeover will happen this week. But, but, but - there are variables that mean this is not definite."

    RC said that RD wants to sell and the Aussie want to buy so the reason for the delay remains unclear. His tweets here



    Reports of a overweight Italian lady warming up her vocal chords in Floyd Road have yet to be confirmed.
    Thanks, that'll save me looking through the 1200 posts since I last came on this thread 10 days ago!
