    Was hoping it would be done today so that Matt Southall could have a moment at half time on the pitch (And the Sky cameras) where the new regime could be announced but time is running out! 
    Maybe that’s how the announcement will happen? 

    I actually think Southall will smash the ball at the crossbar which will trigger a mass firework display spelling the words “Done” in the night sky.  He better hit the bar though or he will only win a pair of match tickets and nobody would wish him sitting through 90 mins of what we serve up.
    That reminded me of the penalty miss by Diana Ross at the 94 World Cup opening ceremony - the only penalty (apart from shoot-outs) missed in the whole tournament.
    “Diana Dross” would have been a good newspaper headline.

    Tonight would be an ideal time to announce it. Sky camera's there and not another home game until Boxing Day, and I guess they would like as near a sell-out crowd as they could get for that game. On top of that there was the LB/SG meeting with Matt last night, and hence the announcement could involve news about their contract extensions!!
    Well it all seems logical to me anyway!!!

    Agreed, and if it was there would be some leaks and rumours around it.

    There were no rumours about this group buying the club.

    RD still active on Companies House, so any announcement will probably still be conditional

    Matt Southall and a group of about 8 or so walked through Crossbars a bit earlier, applause all round from everyone there.

    Can we change the title of the thread. It isn't confirmed and it's pissing me off.

    About that but probably a mix of Charlton people, security etc but hard to do a face check and head count. Pretty sure Tom Rubashow was amongst the group.

    Bowyer on meeting the new owners: Some good things and some strange things.

    Just heard Bowyers pre match interview with Sky. He said last nights meeting with Southall was positive, that there were some good things spoken about but also some strange things.

    What are those “ Strange things” , that does not sound promising.

    Great. 'Strange' is probably one of the worst things to hear given what we've suffered already.

    Maybe Southall said Sarr can only play if he manages to defend a corner.

    WTF is the strange ?
    Didn't expect to hear that.
    Matt Southall to be the 7th sub ?

    Potentially naive for him to say, wonder how kindly they'll take to it.
