    If I’m included in that list (which I hope I’m not), very much no.

    Then someone has to explain why we’re no closer then ever before, and we’re two weeks away from the transfer window closing.

    How distressed do they want the asset to be?

    Well, I will certainly be celebrating when the takeover finally happens. I’ll be in the White Swan as long as I’m still standing,ready to drink with any Charlton fan, bitch about the now gone Roland era, get excited about the future and tell stories of proper Charlton days gone by.

    And I’ll be in for my ST day one. I’ll give the Aussies or anyone else who comes in the warmest of welcomes and the benefit of the doubt.

    Having had 4 years of my Charlton life fucked up, I’m going to make the most of the new era.

    Am sure lots of us will be joining mate, I will be for sure!

    That makes the delays here even more annoying. I’m looking forward to hearing what (or who) caused them.

    I can’t see any reason why the Aussies would want to slow down the sale. Their investors will want to get off to a flying start, not a relegation battle.

    I’m scanning CL. same as anyone else looking for clues, hoping to see the It’s Happening gif.

    Actually, with all that cash swishing about, maybe you should be buying the club ;-)

    Man alive, I hope it happens soon. Weeks ago I bought a cheap bottle of sparkle so I could celebrate whenever the takeover happens. I've a horrible feeling I'll be sitting on a rare vintage by the time this deal is done.

    No you won't! NV champagne goes off quite quickly (particularly if not kept in ideal conditions). Maybe 3-4 years after purchase, maximum. Cheap sparkling wine just gradually deteriorates. Drink it now and buy some more in due course.

    The meeting between Lee Bowyer and Richard Murray has just broken up, and it has been decided (unlike the dreadful fans forum farrago) to release the minutes.
    I have copied them for all fans below.

    I took minutes once.
    Just like that.

    A relegation battle is what they're going to get if this deal doesn't happen by early next week. We probably need to sign a player just about every other weekday between now and the Sunderland game to avoid this.

    We have an injury hit thin squad which will be fighting relegation as things stand. The last time I was this worried pre season was coming back from Belgium going into the 15/16 relegation season.

    Cheers for the advice cafcfan. No need to worry, there's no chance of it lasting 3-4 years, until Christmas much past Tuesday in our house.

    Maybe you can invite the chap you had a beer with, to the Swan Jim ;)
  • There is nothing positive about the deal taking this long to complete

    Always said it has the zabeel feel about it

    And right now I still don’t feel anything good will come of this

    Does make me laugh, 30,000 comments of bilge and unfunny joke attempts, get some previously unknown actual info on the table, nothing.

    Strange bunch at times

    How was any of that previously unknown?

    The time it is taking to get this deal done is a huge disappointment. I can't believe the Aussie's have wasted the whole summer (& this coming season) by failing to get the deal over the line since they made themselves publically known at the playoffs in May.

    In fact we have taken multiple steps backwards bearing in mind the amount of players that have left and been replaced by just two signings.

    I see Bowyer's meeting with Murray yesterday being a very key event e.g.

    LB: What the fu*k is going on Richard? Is this deal going to get done so I can be confirmed as perm manager and buy the first choice transfer targets I need to get this club promoted OR are we writing off this season in which case I should just offer contracts to the best freebies we can find (including current triallists) to ensure we avoid a relegation battle.

    No takeover in the next 10 days & 2018/19 will be over before it starts.
