    was hoping it would slip off the front page and be forgotten - a bit like christmas as a kid - if you keep waiting for it and talking about it, it takes forever

    Oh dear....It gets worse by the day. I wonder if those that have bought season tickets would have a case for a refund as the product is not of merchantable quality - as the legal saying goes...

    I honestly didn't give a shit as Ill be there in August regardless but Im getting increasingly pissed off the Potential new owners or the existing owner have not made any statement about the club.

    Reads very much as speculation from Cawley IF Bauer is sold ... rather than anything concrete

    I believe that he’ll only sell players to cover the monthly costs because ‘deadlines’ haven’t been met- aka “we all want the takeover to be implanted by June 25, otherwise I have to sell a player to cover the costs whilst the deal is on going”

    Funny they are still in negotiations when a done deal months back but let's hope aussies can get it over the line asap

    Cawley is spot on.

    I think it's pretty clear what's going on - rd is showing that he is quite prepared to carry on unless he gets the price agreed - whether that price is too high or not is another matter. Whether we like it or not, if u r a billionaire, u can do things on your own terms.

    I think we can all say that not 1 person knows what is going on at our club.

    Bowyer is pretty outspoken and I think would have walked by now if it is fire sale and no players coming in and no takeover.

    This is what Im clinging to.

    I'm surprised there is still a British consortium in negotiations but maybe they are currently owners of another club, waiting to sell and therefore don't need to go through the EFL test so could happen any time if their sale goes through? Not based on any fact or anything I've been told but seems a fair hypothesis?

    A Charlton under Duchatelet who is asset stripping & running the club for as little cash as possible doesn’t bare thinking about

    Or won’t pay the asking price. Otherwise if they can’t afford to buy the club then there’s no way they can afford to run it.

    Well clearly he isn’t willing to carry on unless he get the price ... he isn’t willing to find the team/club out of his own pocket let alone his technique of chalking it up as debt - so will only use player sales!

    Sooner or later RD will run out of playing assets to strip, then it will be the training ground and he will look to sell The Valley, unless he sells the club will soon no longer exist in it's current guise.

    Or he wants a chance at a job he wouldn't get at any other club considering his experience.

    So instead of continuing to put money in RD has decided that if he remains in charge he will cash in on the players and let the club pay its way... that route lies League Two and complete oblivion plus he would likely end up giving the club away next summer. Not sure he would be much of a poker player.

    But you've been telling us since Feb that there is another bidder and they're British.

    Particularly scathing of @Redhenry's lot because "unless they are Australian or British" then they're not in the hunt.

    Has the Belgian Bastard thrown back Murrays Mob now then?
