All well and good saying they are in it for the long haul but we are in a pretty shite position now.
But you have to look at it from their point of view. It’s not their fault we’re in a shite position, but the present and previous regimes’.
And at which stage of the negotiations would you have cut corners to speed things up? Because how else could you speed up what is effectively a legal process.
If they’ve made a mistake on the way that’s slowed things up, then fair enough, but even that wouldn’t have been deliberate.
I know it’s frustrating as hell though, for everybody.1 -

If I were the Aussies I might offer a discount for a couple of weeks after any takeover, although would anyone who had paid the higher price want a rebate?
That site is really cool, thanks for sharing (the slaves thing is a bit grim though!).cafcfan said:There are remarkable similarities.
In 1086, Charlton had 13 villagers and two slaves. Today 13 players, and Bowyer and Jackson.
The tenant-in-chief was Bishop Odo. Now it's Roland Odd. Bishop Odo of Bayeux never visited either.
The Lord of the Manor was William, son of Oger. Now it's Tony Ogre.
Back then Charlton was worth £7. Now it's feck all.
BTW, it's a bit weird that William, son of Oger held only three properties, Footscray, our Charlton and another Charlton down near Dover.

On a forum that shall not be named an infrequent poster of heavenly order is suggesting the Aussies still don’t have the funds.8

To be honest I don't think any of us really know what the issues have been. No doubt a lot of it is to do with Roland and the previous regime. The Aussies cannot be blamed for this nor can they be blamed that we are currently a League 1 side with a squad that looks incapable of changing that for the better this coming season.JamesSeed said:

It is frustrating, and although not their fault, doesn't mean we should be content its a 5 year plan. Every week with Roland makes that plan more difficult IMO.2 -

Colin just can’t bear the thought that someone else may have a better handle or take on what’s going on than him.
Seeing him wriggle is highly entertaining, he’s beside himself with rage!1 -

Is it the Norwich game because they play in green and yellow?0

Finally tracked down ABC. No documents lodged since Aug 2017. How does that sync with reports that an investor failed FPP? Even if an Everton/Toon director watered down his investment it would need documenting here. Unless he has sold UK football shares. Anyone got a window into this?0 - Sponsored links:

It also doesn’t fit his view that everything is ok and better days are just around the corner.SoundAsa£ said:Colin just can’t bear the thought that someone else may have a better handle or take on what’s going on than him.

Peeters was the best manager since Curbs remember.
We’ve always been unlucky with injuries, there’s nothing anyone could have done to avoid the same injury crisis we’ve had every year under RDs ownership.
The takeover is always going well and never far away from completion.2 -

The delay would square with what has trickled out from two or three people.12 -
Even more curious this EPL approval. Directors of AFC from the incorporation to now are Dirk Scott (I assume Muir's accountant) Peter McBain and Bruce McFarlane. None have any Google profile but could have been doctored as Meire did.
Welcome to the club guys, although I assume you are front men and won't actually turn up at the Valley.
But it does beg the question as to how they fell foul of FPP?1 -

Is it worth pointing out that 'Colin' is French for 'hake'?8

To be honest I didn’t think to sticky it.....and thanks for bringing it to AFKA’s attention. I’m hanging on by a thread here, really needed you questioning my modding capabilitiesCurb_It said:Isn't the bite sized threat supposed to stay stickied for a little bit so people get a chance to spot it/read it?
I can do many things thank youDazzler21 said:1 -

Peter McBain and Bruce McFarlane, pretty sure we’ve got ourselves some superhero alter-egos right damn there. They don’t fool me, I wonder what their super powers are and when they will reveal them? I worry that if they can’t fix pot holes with their super-cement-eyes or increase the chip count using a laser beam emitting from the front of their helmet then there’s still gonna be a dwindling pool of unhappy punters in SE7harveys_gardener said:Even more curious this EPL approval.
