I was in a pub in the west end and chatted to a couple of Americans. I asked them about the takeover situation at Charlton. To my surprise, they hadn’t heard of it or a clue what i was on about. Apparently they are about to do a 6 day bus tour of France and Italia before catching a cruise on to the Caribbean.
Sorry guys, Airman is right, it’s just not happening. Drat and double drat.
what is fecking laughable is the fact, that they get to this stage and pull out because of the price, fuck me you surely know the price whilst entering into discussions and especially the Aussie's know what he will and won't accept, what a shambles.
That’s why I stick to my point pages back , 90% of this shite coming out again now is guess work and pure speculation and is no doubt done with good intentions but should be spoken about as speculation not it’s happening not it’s 24/48 hrs away
Ffs How many times will people fall for this stuff
Even those in the club who I know would know all to a man said proceed with caution we have been here before
That’s who you listen too not fucking Jim white and then get wound up because the poor sod has been taken in by the hype himself
It wasn’t imminent it wasn’t 90% done
It is either done or it ain’t there’s no in between
Don’t believe anyone who says dates and hours until completion
Prepare to be underwhelmed and prepare to be disappointed and you will not have Your evenings ruined any longer

In fairness mate you have been correct all through this thread
On my way to meet Jim White who lived a couple blocks away from me (oh) As I walked through the subway It must have been about quarter past three In front of me, stood a radio journo with a beautiful briefcase He asked me for the time I said it'd cost some info on the takeover and another meet tomorrow at nine Did he decline? No Didn't he mind? I don't think so Was it for real? Damn, sure What was the deal? Aussies and Yanks So was he keen? he couldn't wait Cinnamon queen? bit pale for that What did he say? he said he'd love to rendezvous He asked me what we were gonna do Said we'd start with a bottle of Moet for two
Monday Jim was talking bollocks on Tuesday Making it up as he went along by Wednesday And then back tracking Thursday and Friday and Saturday We chilled on Sunday
I cant believe my luck. I’ve just literally bumped into a couple of Australians in a walkabout pub (unbelievable Jeff) and I asked them about the Charlton takeover situation. They said something about a Bruce yanking the Roos tail (must be code for the American/Aussie consortium) and then vomited something about Hughie and getting the Farquhar. Again, cos I’m clever me thinks these could be the big backers. And so chappies and chappiesesse me thinks it’s imminent and it’s happening!
Where did the money for Jonny Williams come from if we’re not being taken over?
Thought I saw somewhere that we've basically picked up the remainder of his existing contract. Assume that Palace are probably paying some of his salary - doubt we are paying it all.

It's very plausible but think that was Airman's take on it, haven't seen anything official though.
So if ive got this straight, we could be moving from a billionaire owner who isnt prepared to invest, to Australian owners who havent got any money to invest, and who have had to raise the money by selling the freehold to third party American money men.
I cant really see this being any great improvement.
It would be far, far worse.
The other thing that worries me is why are the Australians working so hard to buy us? They arent fans, theres no huge financial reward, theres any number of clubs that are suitable (and probably cheaper) unless they have found a previously unknown diamond mine under the carpark, or struck oil when doing the survey I cant see what their motivation is.
I've said this many times, just doesn't make sense how a year later they're still trying to buy us & now it seems are prepared to become tenants. This could actually turn out worse than being owned by douchebag & I never thought that was possible. :-(

Next lot of rumours will start at the end of the season.
Hopefully I am wrong.

Next stop is the Kebab shop...I’ll ask there too.
Nope I don’t think it’s off , I don’t think anything has changed substantially from last week
I believe white was fed some very credible information because they knew he would tell the world.
This is very much the last throws of one of the two parties trying to get the lay remaining pound note either on the sale or taken off
I believe that people were shown around and introduced to people as the new owners
I just don’t believe the money part has ever been proven and as such RD won’t budge from his 40-50 mil asking price
The directors loans are irrelevant in the whole thing for me as I think the buyer would be happy to repay the 7mil upon reaching the premier
I don’t believe the asking price is the issue as you would just walk away if you were not getting anywhere near the amount you were willing to spend
I don’t believe RD is stuck on 50 mil either I reckon it’s closer to 30 mil
But that’s my own thoughts it’s not anything other than speculation and guess work
Closes thread, waits for NLAs next post.
