Nowt has happened. Douch has turned up again to see if he can wind either Henry or The Airman up.
hope it's true but my source says it isn't and he is party to the inner sanctum - im not the one who has people wound up about a takeover although I appreciate the likes of airman and Irving hate the thought that somebody knows more than them which is quite amusing
@DOUCHER out of interest mate, what exactly was it that your source said 'isn't true' ?
Rumours RD is prepared to sell / the club is up for sale? That there is buying interest? DD process being undertaken / has concluded? Post-DD negotiation is taking place?
What isn't true ? My reading of when you posted this was a generic 'there's nothing happening and all these rumours are a load of bull', which may well be the case, but I'm interested in being clear whether that was what your source was saying. Cheers
My source has told a family member of mine (who happens to be a long standing supporter and somebody who has done a lot over the years to help the club in times of trouble, not a 'Beard' as Henry so condescendingly puts it - but that's his way so lets leave it at that), I think the words were 'it's a non story and nothing is happening'. I would no more make that up than any of those who are saying it is happening. I've offered that info up to the board and got a bit of abuse for it probably because people think I have an agenda - I don't and never have had. If you say something that goes against the grain you are accused of being a WUM - that's fine but probably isn't conducive to people coming on here and offering up what might be seen as unwanted information.
I think it's a fair point. You have given your view and perhaps getting unfair criticism.
What I would say based on what I have read, is that your info is wrong. Maybe people here should just accept your source is wrong rather than assume your winding people up, but I certainly think something is going on.
my source wouldn't be wrong - there's an outside chance he may be lying
I would suggest your source might not be trustworthy if there is a possibility they would lie to you.

No I don't, but I don't pass off the information as fact and later say they could be lying. I can't be asked to go round in circles, its clogging up the thread. There are many stories out there and I am sure we will find out soon whether a deal is going ahead or not.

What sort of evidence? I'm no Poirot, but I'm very confident in that statement.
The sort of evidence you wanted from Airman would do.
the only reason I think there's a possibility that he could be lying is that so many on here seem so adamant that something is happening - and I never passed anything off as fact.

Once I've signed off the statement it can go on the OS.
Looks like an Avatar change needed again......
The Union Jack on your avatar is back to front......inexcusable. Thick white band should be top left to pole........to the Tower with you! Came as close as you can there to getting a flag from me.

my source wouldn't be wrong - there's an outside chance he may be lying
You have said “My source has told a family member of mine….I think the words were 'it's a non story and nothing is happening'”, and now say “my source wouldn't be wrong - there's an outside chance he may be lying”.
Airman has clearly indicated that his source(s) are ‘outside’ the club - when he said “The circle of knowledge inside the club on this will be tiny...and none of the people who do know will leak, certainly not to me…..Necessarily, there are a number of people outside the club who know. It’s a complex process”.
By which I assume he means individuals involved in one way or another in a potential buying process.
But your source cannot be from such people from ‘outside’ the club as you say they said something like “it's a non story and nothing is happening”. So they must be among the “ circle of knowledge inside the club on this” - if they’re not then you cannot know that they “wouldn't be wrong”?
So it seems we’re left with Meire, Joyes or just possibly Murray? But as you said “he may be lying” that would seem to leave only Joyes or Murray (one who probably wouldn’t leak and one who possibly doesn’t know - but either of whom might lie)?

What I would say based on what I have read, is that your info is wrong. Maybe people here should just accept your source is wrong rather than assume your winding people up, but I certainly think something is going on.
my source wouldn't be wrong - there's an outside chance he may be lying
So your source must be RD, that's the only person who could possibly know, 100%.
If it's somebody lying then maybe it's Meire. She has form.
Had to skip the last 10 pages to catch up with the thread. Anything actually happening or can I put the party poppers away?
Nowt has happened. Douch has turned up again to see if he can wind either Henry or The Airman up.
hope it's true but my source says it isn't and he is party to the inner sanctum - im not the one who has people wound up about a takeover although I appreciate the likes of airman and Irving hate the thought that somebody knows more than them which is quite amusing
@DOUCHER out of interest mate, what exactly was it that your source said 'isn't true' ?
Rumours RD is prepared to sell / the club is up for sale? That there is buying interest? DD process being undertaken / has concluded? Post-DD negotiation is taking place?
What isn't true ? My reading of when you posted this was a generic 'there's nothing happening and all these rumours are a load of bull', which may well be the case, but I'm interested in being clear whether that was what your source was saying. Cheers
My source has told a family member of mine (who happens to be a long standing supporter and somebody who has done a lot over the years to help the club in times of trouble, not a 'Beard' as Henry so condescendingly puts it - but that's his way so lets leave it at that), I think the words were 'it's a non story and nothing is happening'. I would no more make that up than any of those who are saying it is happening. I've offered that info up to the board and got a bit of abuse for it probably because people think I have an agenda - I don't and never have had.

You have said “My source has told a family member of mine….I think the words were 'it's a non story and nothing is happening'”, and now say “my source wouldn't be wrong - there's an outside chance he may be lying”.
Airman has clearly indicated that his source(s) are ‘outside’ the club - when he said “The circle of knowledge inside the club on this will be tiny...and none of the people who do know will leak, certainly not to me…..Necessarily, there are a number of people outside the club who know. It’s a complex process”.
By which I assume he means individuals involved in one way or another in a potential buying process.
But your source cannot be from such people from ‘outside’ the club as you say they said something like “it's a non story and nothing is happening”. So they must be among the “ circle of knowledge inside the club on this” - if they’re not then you cannot know that they “wouldn't be wrong”?
So it seems we’re left with Meire, Joyes or just possibly Murray? But as you said “he may be lying” that would seem to leave only Joyes or Murray (one who probably wouldn’t leak and one who possibly doesn’t know - but either of whom might lie)?
If RD sells STTV which is "his club" there's no way that he will want to keep Charlton, a club with which he has far less interest, especially as we now have no network players and our own scouting. Indeed the whole way in which Robinson has been allowed to basically get on with it shows this, we are being run as a separate English entity.
That doesn't mean that a sale is imminent though, as he still needs a buyer prepared to pay an acceptable sum.
What's that I smell? The cashing in of assets to save an ageing man passing the burden and invasion of privacy, of which comes with owning a Football Club, to his family?
Aaaah, sweet smell. Move Katrien onto CEO of one of your non-sporting companies, and then assess how good she is as a CEO.

You did yourself no favours by(from the word go as a matter of fact), your condescending attitude.......no wonder folk think you’re something of a WUM.

or I should say, 'being conservative with the truth'
No Doucher.........I think lying sounds more like it.
What I would say based on what I have and btw - it wasn't me that started a thread that has lasted 130 pages so I don't think it was an unfair question
You may not have started this130 page thread but you must have contributed 50 pages of it. If hate to be stuck in a lift with you, as to me you seem to like the sound of your own voice!!
So Airman is 100% sure that something is happening behind the scenes and Doucher is not 100% sure that he can be 100% sure that nothing is happening........ hmmmm I know who I would trust

Just got back and saw I missed a 'phone call by ten minutes.
Just called the number back only to get a voice message saying no one is available and try 'phoning 111.
I will persist.
What does a reversed Union Flag mean old boy.
Airman has clearly indicated that his source(s) are ‘outside’ the club - when he said “The circle of knowledge inside the club on this will be tiny...and none of the people who do know will leak, certainly not to me…..Necessarily, there are a number of people outside the club who know.
