My response to @grapevines post was a reflection on the respect I pay to the way he posts and puts across his message I don’t have to agree to his thoughts

Your right about one of my sources of info but totally ignore the one with the most info that I get

There’s a main differences to what I post from the oposing fence

it’s been correct every single time where as the info being released by others and the Aussies has not come true once as of yet

Therefore it has more credibility to me than anything else that has been released on here with the exception of the much abused Doucher who if you read what he has posted on the whole has been far more accurate than anything else

And we will be a pool for Aussie football talent in coaching and players I will have a tidy wager on that with you should the Aussies ever reach the bottom of their so deep pockets they can’t find their cash


And remember those that you say are feeding me false info

I posted 24 hrs before the statement and before your text back from your guy


That things were not dead things were being continued the wheels were still spinning underneath

That RD was working on removing the debt in the background

Let’s not forget that the aussies themselves have twice now mentioned that the reason for the delay could be due to final sign off and the complicity of building a financial consortium

In NLA terms that means they ain’t got the dough and I will add the same line I added in October

Currently they may well find it

through to June


All of this in the background of

Imminent
Done deal
Feb conclusion
Staff told it’s a week a way
It’s happening


Let’s wait and see I hope they find the cash I hope they buy the club lock stock and barrel because anyone is better than RD imo

But i have reservations about anyone who buys us and there’s no clear proof of finance

We have been there before


I have reservations about people that openly in the initial press info on the AFC are open about bringing the Australian football interests to the UK

As we have been there before but with a Belgian

When you combine the cloudy nature of where and who is in charge of the pennies in the newcconsortium and the fact that we could become an Australian version of the RD player pool game

I think it’s only right that it’s treated with caution

Firstly, afka, I certainly wasn't meaning to be rude, but comments which basically say my friend is lying I felt I should challenge, when they are presented as facts rather than opinion. But i apologise if NLA if I did appear rude. As I've said before, we both want rid of the current owners.

However, to say the Australian model is the same as the Roland model is pretty outrageous, fine in debate, but plainly wrong when you state it as their stated intention. 'The Aussie model' you called it.

You said they were going to let RD keep The Valley and Sparrows Lane. Whoever is briefing you knows the effect that would have on support for the Aussies, so you could at least wonder why they're doing it. But you presented as fact. If there was supposed to be some sort of temporary arrangement while a new investor is approved, then say so, but your late night post made it look like the bottom of the barrel was being scraped, and we were about to get new owners as bad as the last. Unfair.

Saying nothing the Aussies have said has come true, whereas everything you have said has come true, is just silly, and I'm sorry, willy waving. If what your source tells you doesn't come true you'll be able to distance yourself, of course. What they've said can't come true until they've bought the club.

I've been carefully following the principal of releasing all info I have in case I appear 'ITK and I've tried not to express personal opinions about any info they gave me, as I don't know any more than anyone else, and very often less. But I like to see them getting a fair suck at the pineapple (a fine old Aussie expression) in the interest of fairness. Bear in mind that since the beer meeting they've said very little, even to the press, except 'we're still working on it'. Dignified silence maybe.

They called and asked me not to withdraw the bust, because they said it could strain negotiations, but said they were aware that there was a lack of info in the public domain, hence the statement. I don't know how much of their draft was used, but I agree the official statement was a bit disappointing - but at least it showed they hadn't pulled out.

The last message I received was 'don't believe the rumours'.

Withdrawing the bust could strain negotiations.

Htf does that work? Are you involved in the purchase as well?!!!!

The three meals you can eat each day are either breakfast, lunch and dinner, in that order; or breakfast, lunch and supper, in that order.

Dinner is never served in the middle of the day.

Yes is a drink not a meal. Although you can have sandwiches, biscuits, cake or bread and jam with tea.

Fact.

When I was a kid back in the '60s, the meal in the middle of the day was dinner and the meal at the end of the day was tea. This was propagated at school were you had '[free] school dinner', not '[free] school lunch'. This is still the case now, for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie's_School_Dinners

I don't think NLA is peddling anti-Australian propaganda and I appreciate Jimmy Seed passing on the info that he can - there's two sides to every story and that's what we get when we put the two of them together so no reason to fall out.

In amongst the hundreds of pages of terrible puns, rambling stories and false promises I must have missed how @jimmyseed knows the Australian investors, is it related to him being the great managers grandson or is it just a completely coincidental relationship that he has with potential investors in Charlton from the other side of the world?

I think he said he coincidentally went to school with "him".
"Him" has been named but I won't put it on here again.

What I’m really failing to comprehend is that if there truly is a second British consortium still in the running. What on Earth is stopping them from getting ahead of the Australian’s who have been falling short for reasons that are largely unclear for weeks and possibly months.

because there isn't one.......or at least not one that is credible. RM doesn't want to lose his seat at the top table so is trying to cobble together some friends with money to help him out.

Good friends because it’s going to take upwards of £75 million to get up and running.
