    Jim white said plenty today to anyone who spoke to him.
    Personally I don't think anything will happen until the season is over.
    Please prove me wrong.
  • Don’t think you can read anything in to that’s he either says it’s going ahead 100% and gets slated if it doesn’t or plays dumb.

    My hunch is that we have been played again...It’s not happening

    Is that backed up by anything at all? Or the fact that people might’ve exaggerated and now realise it’ll take a bit longer.
    Can you remember last season, Blackburn at home I think, same sort of thing happened. Loads of people turned up expecting it to be Roland’s last game.

    It'll happen before 14/07

    I heard today it was 90% done which isn't a done deal
  • liked the look of Williams. I thought morgan was superb. I thought they showed a level of character and fight not seen since 2013 and that Cardiff game. it's that spirit that gives us a chance. autos will be tough, but this is a team that could go on a run and .. could win the playoffs. Proper Charlton fighters and... supremely talented. I'm.not sure I have seen a forward as dominant as Taylor in charlton colours.

    That’s quite a claim. Certainly Taylor is everything you want from someone leading the line but I think we’ve had a few that I would say are ahead of him at this point.

    He said that the money would be transferred on Monday and the takeover would happen Tuesday or Wednesday.

    He also said that this information did not come from Roland but from the person brokering the deal.

    In recent years Yann?
  • I’ll be fuming if I’ve broken cover too early, bought tickets to the Accrington game today - haven’t been to The Valley for 3 years but wanted to be back as soon as Roland went!

    My interpretation of Bowyers comments is because he feels if a new owner comes in, he may want his own manager and he would expect RD to let him know in advance

    'cause you'd obviously expect a man of Roland's stature and goodness to have the decency to let his manager know what the fcuks going on......wouldn't you?
  • Neil Harris at the game today will he make a bid for our Lyle Taylor? Could Roland still be able to sell our prized asset ?

    Not if the deal is signed.

    I bought the Sunderland and Accrington tickets as a premature celebration too, second half today was a corker though...

    My interpretation of Bowyer's comments is that he's more interested in getting his job done than worrying about the things he can't influence - like a potential takeover. And that's exactly how it should be.

    I’m really not sure how anyone can interpret what he said in any other way than he hasn’t heard from Duchatelet about the takeover being imminent and if it was he thinks he would have.

    Anyone that knows anything about football would know that Millwall couldn’t afford the transfer fee that Lyle would attract.
    However with old shit-teeth still in charge it’s a worry, I’m not gonna lie...

    I'm hanging on for the announcement. Assuming it's a 'no cash, no debt' takeover, whether RD gets the cash from ticket sales today depends on a date in the agreement, not necessarily the date OF the agreement.

    Totally different players. Yann never spent time as a winger. Both came to Cafc at 28 and are/were major players.
    Bournemouth got the best out of Yann by playing him as a number 10 and playing the ball to him on the ground.

    3 days before the end of the transfer window
    He will give 72hrs notice before the 72hrs starts

    Roland takes cash upfront and doesn't care about transfer fees. Look how cheap we've sold off better players than Taylor.
