[cite]Posted By: LargeAddick[/cite]meanwhile at Newcastle Ashby spoke to Moat about 7/10 days ago and the sale is expected to be completed today. Why is ours dragging so, so long .....
Large.........how many more times...............there have been (and possibly STILL ARE) several interested parties, not just one! Some have taken things right down to the wire and then pulled out....we don't know why....ask Peter Varney.
Simple as that.

but to what extent are they interested in Charlton, that is what is starting to concern me. We need to strenghten the squad now. We have made a great start to the season. Fans for once are upbeat. This needs sorting now. If it drags on another week there must be a danger of the squad actaully being weakened with sales. If those interested have Charlton at heart then get round a table and thrash out a deal. A buyer, a seller, how fecking hard can it be ?
Given that another thread mentions that the directors may be on holiday at the moment, I would imagine it would be quite hard to conclude any deal, Large!

think as someone said on the other thread their holidays are a bit less important than the sale of the Club. If you were waiting for them all to be in the country at this time of the year you'd have to wait weeks. Someone, somewhere would have to break their holiday to get it done.

There is an electronics company in Sussex by the name of Wayne Kerr, and I think there's a six foot something built like a brick khazi rugby playing lock forward by the same name.

Large - Do you honestly not think theyre trying to push it through to allow us to do this or do you think theyre justing letting it drag on because theyre unaware of the factors you speak of?

that is what you are assuming
Large.....jeez fella....surely you MUST realise that there are 17 or maybe even 19 directors plus the folk in the takeover parties all to be notified, their opinions sought and opinions addressed, the fact that they possibly have to contact their lawyers and financial advisers and all report back to PV and his team re offers and counter offers.....Large wake up matey please........believe me it's a nightmare.
I fail to see how you or 'anyone' else could possibly see it as simple!
And those are just 'some' of the things I can think of off the top of my head.
17 or 19 is a bit of an exaggeration, as some directors are relatively minor shareholders (Ufton, Collins, Grade) or are only directors because they are staff (Waggott, Capelin).

somehow it wouldnt be charlton if we'd sorted out a billionaire and got it finalised in a week.
We are nearly there now surely, better to be patient & wait for the right result than rush it & err well let's not even think about that eh !
