    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.

    What did he say?
    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.
    Their lays the problem
    Why is it a problem?
    because the dude is an utter fuckwit (Roland that is) and unless he has said it is sold anything can happen, the bloke is unhinged, a menace to our club and needs consigning to our history. Kept us afloat my arse...history will view him as a total failure, and I would know as I am one of those that will write it.

    Roland won't like someone he is paying ie the broker or agent to disclose a confidence before the deal is done
  • I reckon White’s info is coming from the person brokering the deal. Keith Harris?

    I knew it !

    That Orville could never keep his beak shut !

    Assuming we are taken over the real proof of the new owners I think of whether it's a meaningful step forward is where we stand with transfers ins and outs and what happens with Bowyer. The only obvious reason for completing a deal now and at no other time is to take advantage of the transfer window.

    I am as much interested in the whole of January and not just the outcome of next week.


    So let's be optimistic genuine positive intent exists.

    I now know that Jim has a very credible source and whatever has gone on in the past this takeover bid is serious. His source is NOT someone in the Aussie camp so whatever has come from them in the past can be discounted. The fact his source isn’t RD - as I originally assumed it might be - also puts to bed the idea he is being played by RD.

    The gossip from within The Valley today is that it is NOT Gerard Murphy’s consortium involved, but that could still be a bluff.

    Expect more news early in the week although whether it will be decisive I don’t know. I am hopeful but we are still dealing with a nutter.

    To be clear are you saying that you have spoken directly with Jim White to learn this or a different source?

    I ask as this conflicts with James Seeds tweet that Gerard Murphy still involved.

    I’ve spoken to JW. What GM is saying is that they haven’t withdrawn their interest. That’s not the same as saying his is the party JW is talking about.

    I’ve now heard twice it’s not GM, from different places, but there is no clarity on that from JW and I can’t offer any more than I have.

    Thanks. An interesting development given the general level of disdain for the LDT updates of multiple interested parties..

    I heard today it was 90% done which isn't a done deal

    Yep! Everything but the signature and the money and the commitment and possibly, a buyer. Other than that, pretty much a done deal.

    I would travel 500 miles and I would travel 500 more just to see a 1-1 draw with Sunderland...(oh dear).

  • So are we now thinking that although this “new” group is still fronted by Australians that it’s not the Australians we thought it was ?
  • 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 ?

    Nope, White told me Harris is to be our new manager.

    Curbs 16/1 to be the new owner.
  • So we have a geezer on the tele walking down Floyd Road telling whoever who confronts him that Charlton are being sold next week.

    F*** me!

    Aren’t we just going around in circles here?

    And people are lapping it up making white sound more like an attention whore than a decent journo

    People I trust that have long-standing associations with the club all to a man (either well prepped) or just down right sensible said approach with caution we have been here before . Nothing is done till it’s done and nothing is done right now
  • Were there any "faces" in the Directors' Box today that might give us a clue re possible investors ?
