    Colin's now saying Wednesday isn't the takeover being completed but a major step forward.

    And he's never wrong.
    Impossible to be wrong if you give vague details and a new deadline every week.
    He's not alone in doing that tbf.

    He's got more right than most on here. Airman only does the same, gives the vaguest of details and often turns out to be wide of the mark anyway.

    He might have, I don't follow his posts closely. I saw he got Konsa to Brentford right. On the other hand I thought he had been saying the takeover was close for months?

    Do you know what?

    I have been a much happier person giving this thread a swerve for a couple of days...

    Heard it on good authority from an insider at the club that the major step forward has been delayed until Thursday.

    Great leap forward? We are being taken over by Chairman Mao?

    @JessieAddick will/won't be pleased.

    No different to Airman then.

    Is no news good news?

    That is the question.

    I’m much more laid back about this now. For weeks/ months I have been avidly reading every post and expecting it to happen. Now I am quite relaxed as I don’t think it will happen any time soon if at all. It’s very liberating if not disappointing.

    sort of where i am but think that is because of England and the world cup not really thinking much about Charlton yet.

    I skim this now normally going to the last page. If there was any news of importance mentioned on here a mod will put something in the bracketed section in the thread title so no chance of missing it. And as you can see the last time this happened was on page 946.

    Still no announcement of a new CEO etc etc must be a good sign........right?

    I wonder how much the universe has expanded since this thread began? By the time this sale goes through, the pitch will be the size of Eltham.
    But it’s all relative...

    ( just had a look - the universe is expanding at 68 kilometres per second apparently. Kin hell :neutral: )

    I was going to say whether or not I'd be pleased but then it occured to me this is a sensitive issue. I'd better just say nothing. :joy:
    Yes having studied the period for A level history I didn't particularly want to assume one way or the other. :)

    Once the takeover happens then lots will happen very quickly, they must have a plan already in place and various posts already filled. Why bother otherwise.
    It really has to happen in the next two weeks for both sides, its just become a game of chicken

    To paraphrase Blackpool72, one of them just needs to sell the club and cluck off then..

    There’s a fans’ forum meeting tomorrow where the club will apparently be represented by Belgian Lieven de Turck. I think he’s the fella who’s handled the vast majority of negotiations with Gerard Murphy. The forum will discuss the sale.
    It’ll be interesting to hear what comes out of the meeting, although presumably we’ll only hear Roland’s side of the story.

    Well, let's hope the minutes are published without any delay so that whatever is discussed is shared with us all as early as possible.

    Did they plan it being the semi-final night? Guaranteed no-one english will show up.

    If Murray is there you'll only hear his idea of events.

    Can we make a bingo board with the following:
    - Takeover will be completed in x weeks
    - There is a British consortium (but their invisible)
    - Roland is a swell guy
    - Aussies are still in talks
    - No more youngsters sold

    Feel free to add to it

    Any Aussies expected to be there tomorrow night?
