    Jeez, what a bloody fob-off
    Can't somebody in the forum just stand up and say I don't believe you.
    We are just being strung along.

    Alternatively
    Just stand up and say.


    Just sell the club and FUCK OFF.

    This thread is so big it’s consumed the Fans Forum.. there is an element of farce to be honest. But LdT was confronted by Ian with an alternative view, he but simply denied it.

    I am slowly trying to get the word unicorn into the minutes.. regarding bid no2 has Ashley managed to sell yet? ;)

    There were important points made about the contradictory approach to ‘PR’ , risks of a short term approach to strategy and FF communication which were broadly supported by the group.

    'PR' = Proportional Representation? Do the five groups now want a place on the fans forum? ;-)

    Are we planning a big anniversary celebration for the “done deal” post? Must be coming up soon.

    All will be revealed in the minutes when it is spelt out in nice plain English rather than corporate speak :-)

    It comes down to price and division. If anybody was going to pay RD's over inflated asking price for a League One side it would have happened by now IMO.

    I Still believe a sale will only happen at the price RD wants if we get promoted. The only way for RD's departure to be accelerated is with a reduced asking price to reflect us now being a League One fixture.

    But if we did get promoted the deluded old miser will kid himself that the club is worth another £10m on top of his already inflated valuation...and so the loop goes on.

    This proves something very significant and important.

    This is the greatest thread ever.

    Always the first with the best takeover news.

    Long live the takeover thread.

    Never close the takeover thread.

    Even when we’ve been taken over!

    Wonder if someone can compare previous fan forum statements from LdT and pick out any contradicting statements over the meetings

    In 50 years time this thread will be like Father Christmas. No-one will really believe in it, but we'll all enjoy suspending disbelief and joining in, mainly for the benefit of the kids, but also to remind us of how it felt to be young, naive and optimistic.

    Am I right in thinking that apart from the Aussies we know absolutely nothing about the other four groups or if they even exist?
  • Perhaps Roland is going to offer a Black Friday special offer of “up to 50% off”

    Roland will be 122 and will still own us.

    Funny you should say that as I’ve just ordered a latent epicure battery operated salt and pepper grinder at half price. Note to self...I must really get out more.

    Nailed it !! Potential new owners set Friday as completion date 3 months ago but we have no one in the office to take the call/ sign the forms etc. I believe they are still there, somewhere in SE7...sitting in a unlit room with pen in hand.....

    @Redhenry heard anything? Party 5 sounds very much like your mob... If we now get taken over by Mohammed Bin Salman it would be hilarious

  • The Daily mirror ran a story about Usmanov buying Charlton when he sold his Arsenal shares , which was then said to be not true by a so called representative. Could he now be back in and be that 5th group interested?
