I was told by someone from the club after the match that things were very close to "getting better" ie once the window closes.
Haven't got my head around why the prospective owners would wait until then but I have no reason to disbelieve that information.
Thanks for sharing this. You have to be quite brave these days to post what you’ve heard for fear of being jumped upon by those that just can’t seem to realise that 99.9% of what people hear is posted in good faith. We would all be a lot poorer if everyone kept everything quiet on things they hear.
I was told by someone from the club after the match that things were very close to "getting better" ie once the window closes.

Someone you know.?Someone with solid links to the club in the past? Respected football journalist? Former board member?The groundsman? Roland's right hand man?
These people know nothing. Not a jot. That is because the great Belgian hasn't got a scooby either. He might wake up tomorrow and think that's it. I'm shot of it. But he probably won't. Could be a month could be a year. I believe we will probably know 5 minutes after the cogs in his crack pot head allign and decide it really is time to get out.
So unless you're the nurse that brings him his tablets each morning..or possibly his missus. I'm afraid whatever you think you know..you don't.
What a charmer.
After two years I think most of us have earned the right to be a skeptic about anything that’s written anywhere.

I often wonder if certain individuals working within the club are deliberately being fed false information? I wonder that too about Jim Whites recent revelations. It’s my firm belief that JW acted in all good faith and genuinely gave out info as to what he thought to be a nailed on deal. So before people start digging him out we need to know the background of where that info originated. Was JW’s source being used as a vehicle to give out false info or was his source the originator of misleading info? Who knows.....but until that can be established IMHO there’s no need to diss JW, who as a sports reporter is looking for a story but also has our best interests at heart as an added bonus/interest. I’m certain he felt a bit of a ass over his mistaken broadcasts, no one likes to look a fool in front of millions of listeners. I suppose one could say he sounded off before it was verified, but I dare say he won’t be making the same mistake again about unconfirmed rumours, especially when it come to that lying toad Duchatalet .....which takes me back to the first sentence of my post.

Agree but Airman was able to shed light on Jim Whites sources and I think verify independently.
yesterday reminded me what CAFC means to me(i suspect a good few as well) it was meeting up with old faces and having a good day out with old mates brought together by CAFC.Never been about glory has it ?
See thats the thing Roland,Daisey and Burger Boy will never understand its OUR club and no matter how shit RDs ego makes us ,it will always be OURS

JW’s source is highly credible and not from Charlton. At the same time De Turck was telling people it was about to happen, Bowyer had told the Evening Standard there was movement and the fact a buyer was at the TG was verified as was JW’s conference call information.
It’s not unreasonable if both parties and intermediaries are saying the same thing to think that it is true and report it. However, those who have been involved all along are more cautious because of what has happened before.
I think JW was unwise to go in as hard as he did with the 72 hours stuff but I’m absolutely clear that he believed what he reported and that he had good grounds to do so. Unfortunately, at this point neither the buyer nor the seller is a credible source.

As long as the bet requires that anyone arguing with that sentence is able properly to understand it.

They’ve been credible but ultimately shown to be naive, right the way up to Duchatelet on one side and the Aussies on the other. However the EFL say they received a sale agreement last May and it’s not believable that they are making that up as part of some conspiracy or that it was drawn up and submitted without intent on both sides.
Remember it’s not just me, Rich Cawley, the Standard and Jim White reporting things - it’s also on the record public statements from the club which have not been fulfilled.

Correct Henners.
What we also learnt very early is credible sources giving encouragement does not lead to something happening. And ever since the first couple of false dawns they shouldn’t be taking too seriously.

I don't believe you can be naive and credible.
The sale document just highlights why no one can really know what's going on as RD will always be liable to move the goal posts, I think most people have given the information out in good faith.

JW was being told by the broker of the deal (Keith Harris is my guess) that it was as good as done and only days away.
And I think all of them genuinely believed what they said.
Their mistake was to confuse almost done with actually done.
There was, IMHO, real interest, real talks and a real possibility (maybe there still is) of a deal being done.
But it ain't done and it won't be until it is 100% signed, sealed and delivered and in the OS.
See thats the thing Roland,Daisey and Burger Boy will never understand its OUR club and no matter how shit RDs ego makes us ,it will always be OURS
