    IF it's true, it's bizarre that unlike just about any other football takeover, ours is finalised after the transfer window closes

    If this comes off never should this man be panned again.

    Otherwise, I'm with what Benjamin says regards the website announcement.

    All the rest is hot air.

    Would love it to be true, but frankly I'm more sceptical than Richard Dawkins. Why on earth would the staff be told anything?

    There's a bottle champers in our house that's been on ice for months. I ain't for cracking it open yet.

    Fa, fa, fa
    Fa, fa, fa

    I am a dull and simple lad
    Cannot tell water from champagne
    And I have never met the Queen
    And I wish I could have all that he has got
    And I wish I could be like Martyn Ounstead

    Fa, fa, fa
    Fa, fa, fa

    And when I lie on my pillow at night
    I dream I could fight like Martyn Ounstead
    I'd lead the school team to victory
    And take my exams and pass the lot

    (Wish I could be)
    Wish I could be like Martyn Ounstead

    (Wish I could be)
    Wish I could be like Martyn Ounstead

    (Wish I could be)
    Conduct my life like Martyn Ounstead

    (Wish I could be)
    I wish I could be like Martyn Ounstead

    Fa, fa, fa
    Fa, fa, fa

    He is the head boy at the school
    He is the captain of the team
    He is so gay and fancy free
    And I wish all his money belonged to me
    And I wish I could be like Martyn Ounstead

    Fa, fa, fa
    Fa, fa, fa

    And all the girls in the neighbourhood
    Try to go out with Martyn Ounstead

    They try their best but can't succeed
    For he is of pure and noble breed

    Wish I could be like
    Wish I could be like
    Wish I could be like
    (Fa, fa, fa)
    Wish I could be like
    (Fa, fa, fa)
  • Beat me to it Henry. The staff member I have knowledge off has no idea about anything takeover. The sort of person who would know if it was told to staff.

    I bloody knew it. The first that the staff will hear about it will be in an Ackworth tweet, not a briefing meeting.

    At least you could have let us dream over the weekend Henry. Now that's dashed :smiley:

    These poor buggers would not know until they were told to clear their desks.

    Breaking News: Martyn Ounstead buys club...deserves its own thread @paulie8290 ???
  • Just been told by a member of staff that there was no staff briefing.

    Ah that's more like it!

    Genuinely amazed that people were getting carried away when all we had to go on was a tweet from Acworth who knows nothing, and a post on the Charlton facebook page which is full of absolute shite even at the best of times.

    As if match day staff would be told anything!

    The by Wednesday rumour is doing the rounds but as the person who told me before the game said "Which Wednesday?"

    Yeah but it was on Twitter which is always reliable and accurate.

    I remember where I was when I heard that the zabeel (spelling?) takeover fell through. I wonder where I’ll be when I hear that we are stuck with Roland forever

    It won't be forever.

    The sun will expand and swallow the earth in about 7.5 Billion years.

    There's also lots of other things that could end Roland's reign. Deadly volcanoes, earth's core freezing, an asteroid killing off all life on earth.

    Here's some more ways Roland would stop owning the club:

    Finally some optimism
    And this thread will run until then......

    I think most of us would agree the club is not worth 40M so why agree to also take on the director loans , jeez

    When a goalkeeper is worth 80 million quid then 40 million is a bargain for a whole club

    Yeah and it was confirmed by Acworth so it’s gonna happen innit.

    The sad, lonely douchebag who started this rumour should go buy a season ticket at Selhurst. Who does that? Dick.

    Months ago, CAST was told by we-all-know-who that he expected the sale to go through by the end of February.
    Now, who was reported to be Billy Nomates in the directors' box today?
    I wonder whether some pork pies were consumed by the gullible during the pre-match lunch?

    Much as I long to be proved wrong, my flabber will be ghasted if the sale is confirmed next week or even this month.
