The whole Vitesse situation seems quite messy and I'm not entirely sure what's going on there , it's all very complicated involving the consortium Murphy was supposedly a part of and the Dutch FA granting licences to allow them to play.Redrobo said:
Maybe because of why he can’t sell them.RonnieMoore said:
He not been able to sell his shares in another club which means he can’t past the EFL tests …. Not sure this is sensitive news or how it stops a player announcement ?SELR_addicks said:
"The appointment is subject to the completion of the EFL Owners and Directors’ Test and the appropriate documentation."CB1 said:We have binned off Dane Murphy apparently. That’s the announcement tomorrow
Maybe relevant if so?
All looking very messy.
Maybe we gave him a deadline to get his shares sold by and he's not managed to.2 -
Did a bit of sleuthing on Dane Murphy. Apparently as part of joining us as CEO he’d have to give up his role as ‘chairman of the supervisory board’ and sell his shares at Vitesse. Yesterday afternoon a Vitesse fan page on Twitter posted that he had sold his shares to their main shareholders. Surely this would indicate that the path has been cleared for him to join rather than it falling through.*EDIT*
Didn’t see above posts about the situation, but hopefully that’s sorted now with the mentioned post.4 -
No reason the Knibbs announcement should be held up, they’ve already wished Godden happy birthday on socials.9

Sadly, ashes spreading at the memorial garden are a regular, almost monthly occurance so with all due respect to Redmidland that wouldn't impact on normal operations or announcements.21

early birthday announcement...heeds well for the Knibbs announcement around 9am (according to many he completed his medical with us and agreed personal terms yesterday - waiting for Rich to confirm this though)Belv said:No reason the Knibbs announcement should be held up, they’ve already wished Godden happy birthday on socials.2 -

The fact that the words "sensitivity" have been used can only IMHO be due to Redmidlands ashes & service, nothing else would fit, even a proposed CEO not joining, thats not sensitive, thats just news.3

Nothing in that. They always wish the current players a happy birthday at 7am on social mediaTheAddicks4Ever said:

I would argue that this time it has received far more publicity and more high profile with the numbers possibly expected?Henry Irving said:Sadly, ashes spreading at the memorial garden are a regular, almost monthly occurance so with all due respect to Redmidland that wouldn't impact on normal operations or announcements.0 -
So it’s either something else or the original poster hasn’t got the right information. Which happens all the time on forums , not sure why we’re taking it as gospel.2

Absolutely and again with respect to Redmidland, I’m sure he would have been pleased with the signing and would have taken great delight in the announcement and wanted it out there as soon as possible.Henry Irving said:Sadly, ashes spreading at the memorial garden are a regular, almost monthly occurance so with all due respect to Redmidland that wouldn't impact on normal operations or announcements.8 -

I hope you are wrong . He doesn’t look good enough so far.Crispywood said:
Reckon we may try to get Lembikisa on a 6 month loan deal and then go back in for him in JanuaryCloudworm said:
I saw him play a few weeks back and picked him out as one of the two best players on the pitch. He scored and looked head and shoulders better than all but a Brazilian forward they also had. I'm never sure about the quality of J league, but he's definitely a tidy player.Callumcafc said:https://football-tribe.com/japan/2025/07/22/336701/Why did Kyoto Sanga reject Shinnosuke Fukuda’s move to England?
As Charlton Athletic, newly promoted to the EFL Championship (England’s second tier), work to reinforce their squad for the 2025/26 season, it appears they had been pursuing the signing of a Japanese player. Having returned to the Championship for the first time since being relegated in the 2019/20 season, Charlton have already brought in seven new signings during the 2025 summer transfer window, steadily strengthening their team.
According to UK media outlet Daily Mail, Charlton approached J1 side Kyoto Sanga with a proposal to sign defender Shinnosuke Fukuda on a loan deal with an option to buy. However, Kyoto rejected the offer.
Kyoto’s stance is that they are only willing to part with the player in a permanent transfer, and Fukuda’s contract reportedly includes a release clause of £800,000 (around ¥160 million). Unless this amount is paid in full, it seems difficult for negotiations to move forward.
Fukuda, currently 24 years old, has made 21 J1 appearances so far this 2025 season. As of the end of Matchday 24, Kyoto sit in 4th place—just 4 points behind the league leaders and within reach of the title. Fukuda has recorded 3 goals and 1 assist in all competitions this season, marking the best form of his career to date.
The media also reports that Fukuda sees playing in Europe as a necessary step toward making Japan’s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. He has yet to receive a senior national team call-up.
Charlton, for their part, have been actively recruiting various players this summer as they look to solidify their place in the Championship.
Latest piece in Japanese media regarding Fukuda. Doesn’t give away anything we didn’t already know from other articles.1 -

As Henry said, the spreading of supporters ashes is an almost daily occurrence.1 -
Very true Shooters but of course the club don't know him so would tread carefully.ShootersHillGuru said:

Clearly we'll have to wait and see what it relates to1 -

I suppose it’s also how you’d define sensitive. I would read it as the announcement something fans wouldn’t be too happy about or at the least, the MT want to control the message for. As it’s been noted not to be first team related I can only assume it’s an illness/sickness/bereavement or somebody leaving/not joining.Qué será, será…0

Not wishing to stand on anyone toes but I was advised a young player sadly passed away yestrday and that may put a slight hold on things. Expecting the club to announce something and release some kind of statement today. Hence the sensitivity part.35

Deleted an attempt at a joke which turned out to be inappropriate post with the current news, certainly not intentional, just sods law in timing...🤦♂️0
