We’ve not had a house sale analogy for a while but if you have an offer on your house, had a visit by a surveyor, appointed lawyers the sale is still not done.

That's not strictly true.Henry Irving said:Not trying to be a killjoy but please don't read so much into so little.
Instagram badges or locations don't mean it's done.
Visiting executive boxes or coming to games, good though they are in themselves, doesn't mean it's done.
Meeting with Bowyer doesn't mean it's done.
The Aussies did came to games and met Gallen. Meire did lots of smiling met and greets early on.
I AM NOT SAYING SOUTHALL IS MEIRE OR KNOCKING WHAT HES DOING. ITS ALL GOOD BUT ITS NOT, YET, A TAKEOVER.
EFL Approval and change of ownership at companies house with a statement on the OS mean it's done.
So far it's 0% done. That could change to 100% done very soon, I don't know, but there is nothing in between.
Fingers crossed it happens and soon.
A bid has been accepted, statement released, meeting with Bowyer about the plans going forward, the EFL interviews have taken place.
Obviously it's not 100% done, but to me that's a lot more done than 0%. 0% would be if they hadn't even had a bid accepted by RD.The sale of CAFC as Henry says is 0% done at this point.17 -

            They will be smart enough to know that until the deal is done, they could still face another rival buyer coming in. That was the case in 2014. So I suppose the "all but done" public look, and especially the positive response of the fanbase, serves to discourage a late entrant.3

            Just an observation but wouldn’t someone like Tahnoon Nimer fly by private jet ?0

            Just seen these comments on FB, have no idea if any truth in it, or who the posters are but they seem certain of their info, make of it what you will-:
A.) Takeover will be announced Monday or Tuesday . Has been confirmed by inside sources . All done 👍
B.) On Monday by 5pm I’ve been told and the new owners will land In London tomorrow evening 😊 For Monday press conference and interviews with the media etc and Lee Bowyer and other contracts will be discussed from Tuesday or Wednesday 😊

            I think everyone needs to just calm down a bit and restrain from dramatic panicked posts. Closer than ever, just sit back and enjoy our 10 game streak and begin to panic again if Cawley or the likes say it has fallen through5

            I'll respect his right to privacy but I happen to know who Henry Irving is. All I'll say is his colleagues tell me he's always asking for a promotion.2

Could all be true. Matt Southall was in the Millenium Lounge on Friday evening (before I got there) and was asked directly by someone what was happening. His reply was "there is no need to worry. Its progressing as expected. It will happen".Redmidland said:Just seen these comments on FB, have no idea if any truth in it, or who the posters are but they seem certain of their info, make of it what you will-:

            No knowledge but I’m willing to bet it won’t be announced on Monday or Tuesday. This is Charlton after all.8

Whilst trolling is still an issue here, to use almost any form of social media one must have attached their ID card to the account, it's not displayed publicly but it certainly makes things a lot easier for the authorities.JamesSeed said:

Dear AFKA,AFKABartram said:Prague - Would you please STOP attempting to reveal individuals personal names against their user names. That’s twice now in recent weeks. It’s not on.
If you want to reveal your personal details to others that’s entirely up to you. By please respect everyone else’s right to anonymity should they wish.
Same for Soundas and for everyone else.
I've never really understood why anonymity is needed. I'm sure there's a good reason, I've just never stumbled upon it.
Given the abuse some get from elsewhere I can see why.
Plus we're not all as vain as @bobmonro to use our real names 😁4 - 
            
Somehow I think the reason for that isn't to stop trolling on Football sites but limit criticism of a repressive stateStu_of_Kunming said:
