    Depends what you believe with Murray. Personally I don’t believe he is not party to the details of negotiations. I suspect he knows all key details.

    This. I see he's also spinning the Duchatelet story that there's a separate British consortium still involved. Does anyone actually believe that?

    Problem is, I don’t really believe anything Murray says. Or Duchatelet. And even the Aussies seem to have been giving us just half the story (the rosy picture).

    Wouldn’t it be nice if the people involved actually gave a complete and joined up statement.

    Are they allowed to. NDAs preventing that I feel.

    NDA count for zip in the world of leaks and unofficial chats James we all know that

    All sides are leaking what they want out there it just depends what side of the leaking news you chose to believe the most

    If those with power don't know we figured out already that we are being played then they are fools.
    It isn't the slightest bit subtle or credible.
    Duchatelet is the owner, and he doesn't give a feck about the club but only himself. No spin needed, we get it full well.

    Muir has $500M in cash after the sale of The Good Guys. Other news had him making another $200M with the sale of some other assets last year.

    If he is balking over a mil here or there or playing games... while the assets go out the front door.....or if somehow he is struggling to get the money together for the deal.... I am not sure I want him anymore.

    There's not many times I agree with you but on this I do. I had hoped that having Muir on board we had got away from the original consortium & their funding problems....I understand that everyone has their price & you don't want to pay silly money for things, but its false economy if you piss around now over a million or two which means we are buggered for the rest of the season by not having a decent squad come August.

    As for RM & his insistance that there are 2 parties still at the table.....all I can say is that he lied in February & he's lying again. No-one ITK seems to think there is anyone but the Aussies left at the table & I'm sure something would have leaked re the fit & proper test if there was. RM gets his instructions from RD & we all know what line he is peddling.

    RM.....just feck off

    I don't think this British consortium ever existed. It's a negotiating trick being used by RD IMO. And yes I'm aware of the McLeish fronted bid but we all know that's a dead duck.

    Kind of like when you buy a house...and you're told there's another interested party but if you bid the right amount then the house is yours...

    As for The Trust meeting Murray, I would have hoped The Trust would have asked about RD's alleged comments made to the B20 that Murray would have been fine with RD retaining The Valley.

    Can someone update the summary version of this thread and pin to the top of the list.

    Oh dear. Based on that Murray statement it would appear the delay is due to the price still not being agreed. Is that another lie? I certainly do not believe we have more than one interested bidder.

    Murray will speak to the trust and update them but nothing on the official site from him.

    Four new players! Haha we need more than four Dickie.
    We also need to appoint an entire staff.
    What a depressing shambles....still.

    Lee Bowyer is talking to potential signings

    Unless these signings are free agents, or past 33, Bowyer (or anyone else connected with the club) is (officially, at least) prohibited from talking to other clubs' players, unless the clubs have agreed a fee or compensation.

    So either someone at the club is negotiating fees for the purchase of players, but we haven't been told who; or Bowyer (more particularly Charlton) is guilty of tapping up.

    Which is it Richard?

    It comes back to Duchatelet. He is asking far too much for a debt, the size of which is very largely of his own making. This due to some very poor football, player & business decisions relating to Charlton. Not that the miserable fecker will ever acknowledge that.

    My concern is that Duchatelet not finding any takers will attempt to get his money back by any means necessary including sale of the Valley, which he will need to empty of supporters by underfunding the team & driving it further down the league.

    You know we will end up signing the sort of crap Parkinson brought in - Doherty, Spring, Llera, Abbott, McCormack, Kandol, Mooney etc, etc.

    Macauley Culkin isn’t British. If you swapped him for Yvette Fielding then I’d consider your gif accurate.

    Only British people can react to news about the takeover?

    Sorry Jim, but I don’t buy that.

    They are ok to feed you and press snippets suggesting all is fine and dandy but it’s now very clear that they hadn’t got all their ducks in a row to complete the takeover - yet.
