    "Mum are we there yet "

    " No dear, keep reading the sale of Charlton thread and the hours will pass"

    "But it's just bollocks with people repeating themselves and being nasty to each other like you and Dad."

    "Shit happens son,
    your Charlton till you die
    So you better get used to it,
    Only another 1000 pages to go."

    I like the optimism.

    "It'll be done after the transfer window has closed and Lookman's future is confirmed"

    What's the next non-deadline to pass without anything happening?

    I think any buyer may have missed the boat for the time being. RD’s quietly let LB and his boys strengthen the squad with quality signings and we could see a serious promotion challenge from this lot. He wouldn’t have done that if he really was walking away anytime soon...unless that was part of the deal, of course, in which case forget the above its happening anytime soon.

    So it's not happening, but it is happening. Thanks.

    Sadly, even if he reads it, it will hardly cause him to have a change of heart - regarding either the poor individuals who he has 'conned' out of their bonuses, or the sale of the club. I reckon we are stuck with him for the foreseeable.
    Just imagine the reaction from the Belgian one if Bow and Jacko get us promoted - lots of 'told you so' articles stating how, despite the fans protests, HE was the mastermind behind a successful season and he had been right all along!

    How long before the Aussie takeover?.

    Manana
    There is no word to express the urgency of Manana in Belgian!

    Things are reaching rock bottom when this infamous thread is relegated to page two. Are feelings that bad now?

    We need some infectious enthusiasm on here to persuade us that the sale will go ahead.

    I think it's that we have run out of dates or events (e.g. will we make play-offs, end of season, end of world cup, start of season, closing of transfer window, closing of loan window) that would be the catalyst for the sale.
    Anyway I'm going for the Earth Wind and Fire song September as the next key date:

    "Do you remember the 21st night of September?
    Love was changing the minds of pretenders
    While chasing the clouds away

    Our hearts were ringing
    In the key that our souls were singing
    As we danced in the night
    Remember how the stars stole the night away

    Hey hey hey
    Ba de ya, say do you remember
    Ba de ya, dancing in September
    Ba de ya, never was a cloudy day"

    There will be no takeover until it hits page 3. FACT.

    There needs to be another thread Roland Strikes Back followed by the sequel Return of the Aussies.

    Said weeks ago its not going to happen. Close the thread down until we have credible info that something is going on.

    Agree. This has gone as far as is reasonable. Time for a little common sense. Close the thread until something of importance actually happens. If people want to continue to post fish jokes etc. then open a thread devoted to the subjects.

  • I'm confused what everyone is on about? We've had new owners for about 4 months now, Airman said it was a done deal.

    What should we name such a thread? I suggest The Pun Plaice
